AMES, Iowa -- Julian Edelman threw for 161 yards and a touchdown to lead Kent State to a 23-14 victory over Iowa State Thursday night in the debut of new Cyclones coach Gene Chizik.
Eugene Jarvis added 113 yards rushing for Kent State (1-0), which won despite committing three red-zone turnovers. Iowa State (0-1) couldn't take advantage, and Kent State seized control with two scores late in the third quarter.
Jarvis capped an 12-play, 56-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run to give the Golden Flashes a 16-14 lead. Iowa State quarterback Bret Meyer then made a critical error on the next series, forcing a throw into coverage. Brian Lainhart took an interception back to the Iowa State 8, and Edelman's 3-yard plunge put Kent State ahead by nine.

DaddyBigBucks;952141; said:Our next 2 opponents, KSU and MSU, are tied for 3rd in the nation in kick-off returns.
Ohio State is 106th in the nation in kick-off returns.
We are doomed.
Due to the short-sightedness of the coaching staff, we get the fewest game reps for kick-off returns of any team in the country. The results speak for themselves.
I hope we can at least make a game out of it.
