The Buckeyes are not going to be able to stop Kent's Special Teams.


Sarcasm font, but a nice addition to the Kent State staff.

Maybe they're aiming for a school record for most punts in a game?

Kent State is at noon on FOX.

Will be in EST zone for this one. No, getting up, walking with the wife, and settling in for a 9:00am kick-off. Leaves the afternoon for honey-dos. Will be an adjustment certainly.
