Kent State Golden Flashes
MAC East
Coach: Sean Lewis fifth year with team
Last year’s record: 7-7
The overcast
Kent State had a successful season last year with a 6-2 conference record and a trip to Detroit for the MAC championship game. Dustin Crum was a big reason for this success last season, Crum graduated last year leaving the Flashes with a question mark at the QB spot this year. The defense last season had the biggest problems with Kent State, with a new DC and scheme the Flashes will be eager to show what they can do on the defensive end. Six defensive returners the Flashes will have a slew of Veterans to lead to way. Junior QB Collin Schlee is the projected starter as the snap caller. He will be joined by one of the top running back units in the conference. Sophomore RB Marquez Cooper will be the lead runner out of the backfield this season after a very strong freshman campaign.
Dom’s Overlook
The Flashes are one of my biggest questions marks this year. No one seems to know how good this team is and what their ceiling might be. Many have them as the second-best team in the East while others have them finishing third or fourth in the East. The Flashes offense should be more run heavy, easing Schlee into the offense might be the best option available. This defense should be the best that we’ve seen in years from the flashes. Last year the defense kept opponents in the game, this year it should be the opposite. This defense has six members returning with a new defensive scheme to help them improve from last year.
2022 Predictions
This year is a crucial one for the Flashes, a winning season could add another building block for the program. The Flashes will be the second-best team in the East but will only achieve seven wins this season. The West is as tough as ever and those games could damage the Flashes record if they don’t win those games.
