SEBASTIAN BROWN HEADS FOR PAYDIRT ON A 75 YARD CATCH AND RUN IN THE FIRST QUARTER
---
Bowling Green, OH - The past two editions of the Anniversary Award game between Kent State and Bowling Green have been lopsided affairs. Kent State took the 2022 game by a score of 40-6 while Bowling Green bounced back with a 49-19 win last year. That trend continues with the 2024 version going Kent State's way by a final score of 45-21.

In their most pass heavy game yet the Flashes Tommy Ulatowski threw for 403 yards and four touchdowns while completing 27 of 43 attempts.

Kent State led 10-7 after the first quarter with scores coming via a 22 yard Andrew Glass field goal and then a 75 yard Ulatowski to Sebastian Brown touchdown pass. Bowling Green's Ian Blackburn added a five yard TD reception from Connor Bazelak in between. Brown's long score came on the first offensive play after Bowling Green took the lead, those 13 seconds would be all that Kent State would trail in the game.

The second quarter was all Kent State as Ulatowski tossed TD passes to Isaiah Batton, Chrishon McCray and a second to Brown, making it 31-7 at the break.

Ky Thomas and Gavin Garcia each scored a rushing touchdown in the second half as did Bowling Green's Terion Stewart.

Bowling Green scored with just over a minute left to make the final score a bit more respectable but it was far too little far too late.

Kent State, who started the season 1-3, have now won three straight to improve to 4-3 on the season with a perfect 3-0 record in MAC games.

Bowling Green drops to 1-6 overall and 0-3 in MAC play.

Coaches Corner

Offensive Coordinator Jordan McAlary
By Don Knotts | @theotherdonknotts | October 21, 2024, 7:49am EDT

Each week in the days following Kent State's game I will spend a few moments chatting with members of the coaching staff. I'll share some key points in this column.

This morning I spoke with offensive coordinator Jordan McAlary following Kent State's big win over St. Francis.

A convincing win on the road over a conference opponent. A rivalry game. How's that one feel?
You know we always say it's just another game and maybe to me, without the history here, it probably was but I think some of the guys on the field and on the staff, especially after last season, it was probably a bit more for them. Regardless it's a good, convincing road win in conference so we're feeling pretty good about it.

Leaned on the passing attack a bit more. Any plan ahead of time for that or just a flow of the game thing?
Yeah we talked about offensive balance last time and you know we never say we're going to lean heavy one way or the other but I think there's a bit more confidence in the passing game these past couple games. No turnovers so it was working and Tommy was comfortable and receivers were making plays so that's how things kind of just flowed for us.

A few more touches for Ky Thomas in the running game. What was the intention there?
Just trying to spread out the load. Gavin has been a workhorse for us and while he's a tough kid we're just trying to be mindful of that. Ky is a talented player too so we're looking to balance those touches out some moving forward.

Player of the week?
Tommy no doubt.

403 YDS & 4 TD :lbjooo:

Ulatowski think he's at Polk High

Think the record/score should be under the respective team bar, but that's me.
