Very exciting! One of the reasons I wanted them to do well against Miami. I think it's a crime that NIU is still unranked though...lost by 1 point in week one to a B1G opponent. I think it's impossible for the espn crew to get over themselves and maybe rank TWO MAC teams that deserve it!!!

Nice

#25 in the nation is coming to face:

#6 in total defense
#9 scoring defense.

Should be a fun game.

Ah yes, blaming ESPN for stuff in sports we don't like, the most overused excuse the sports fan has.

Do tell how it will be ESPN's faults if the coaches poll, done by football SIDs, only has one MAC school in it

It isn't.

Factman blames Greg Christopher.

I blame Gregg Brandon.

Should be a real heavyweight fight...the Kent running game is the real deal so it will be a great challenge for our Nasty D...

BEAT KENT!!

Hopefully the trend of MAC teams being one and done in the top 25 continues for at least one more week!

1st time since 2009 a ranked team has come to the Doyt. No idea how long it's been since BG played a ranked MAC team at home.

Probably 2003...

NIU was the last ranked MAC team to play at BG, Boise was the last ranked team period in 2009.

I second-guessed that right after I sent that lol whoever is in charge of the polls then

I'm with Flipper. It was the 03 Miami team.

What is eye-popping about Kent State's running backs is they have not one - but TWO - 1,000-yard rushers this year in Durham (1,059) and Archer (1,043)!!!! Archer is averaging nearly 10 ypc (9.7). If you miss this guy, he is GONE! Period. I know our defense has done a great job nearly all season long locking down on teams' top rusher, but this is going to be an all new animal to deal with this week.

Good call, forgot the MACC was a home game that year.
