ISAIAH BATTON SCORES WHAT WOULD BE THE GAME WINNER WITH JUST OVER A MINUTE TO PLAY
---

Kalamazoo, MI - Kent State improved to 4-0 in MAC games with their win over Western Michigan, who came into the game with an identical 3-0 MAC record.

"Definitely a big game, I mean all our conference games are. You're on the road against one of the best teams in the conference so yeah, a big win for us." Head Coach Kenni Burns said after the win.

Burns, who suffered through a 1-11 season at the helm last year, has been mentioned as a potential coach of the year candidate after the turn around he's led at Kent State this season.

Kent State led 13-6 early in the third quarter with a chance to extend their lead. Facing a third an one at the Western Michigan six yard line Tommy Ulatowski's pass was picked off in the endzone.

Western Michigan tied the game a few minutes later when Hayden Wolff ran the ball in from a yard out.

Kent State retook the lead on the first play of the fourth quarter with a 25 yard Andrew Glass field goal.

Following an interception the Kent State offense capitalized, taking a 23-13 lead with five minutes left in the game.

Western Michigan was not done however, scoring quickly on a 17 yard Jalen Buckley run then forcing a three and out. Palmer Domschke tied the game on a 50 yard field goal with 1:36 left on the clock.

"We're thinking field goal rang at that point." Coach Burns explained. "Get the ball somewhere where Glass can kick it through and get us the win."

Set up at their own 19 yard line Ulatowski's pass to Sebastian Brown fell incomplete. On second down Ulatowski found Isaiah Batton open on a comeback route. Batton secured the ball at the 45 then spun around to find open space. He sidestepped a defender at the WMU 45 and then it was off to the races with Batton crossing the goalline before any defenders could close the gap.

Kent State's defense held and the Flashes secured a 30-23 win.

MAC FOOTBALL KENT STATE GOLDEN FLASHES
Coaches Corner
Offensive Coordinator Jordan McAlary
By Don Knotts | @theotherdonknotts | October 29, 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 win over Western Michigan.

Another conference win on the road. 4-0 in conference. What are the vibes like around the team and the season?
A lot of pride and confidence. A lot of the players and coaches went through that hellacious season last year so you can kind of feel the positivity and it's just a really elevated morale for sure.

Had a chance to maybe put this one away early and had the pick in the endzone. What happened there?
You know that's just a playcaller, myself, maybe getting a bit too cute on a third and once that close and Tommy tried to make and play there and their guy made a great play on the ball.

468 yards of total offense. That's six games over 400, Had a couple over 500. What do you attribute that success to?
It's guys doing their jobs. It's the offensive line stepping up on third down. It's smart plays from Tommy. It's guys securing the football. It's backs finding the holes and hitting them. It's a total team effort.

Player of the week?
We'll go with Isaiah Batton. Huge play at the end of the game.
