Shame Watch: Kent State

With wins by SMU and Idaho, Kent State inherited the shame of having the longest active losing streak at 9 with their 48-28 loss at Iowa State. Kent State to a 7-0 lead, but then a blocked punt allowed Iowa State to tie the game. Iowa State led 28-21 at halftime, and despite 410 yards of total offense including 139 rushing yards on 24 carries for Eugene Jarvis, four Kent State fumbles stiffled any attempt at a comeback.

Kent State's losses have mainly been in the MAC with their last win coming at Ohio last September 29.

Kent State opts for the I-AA team to end the streak next week, inviting Delaware State to Kent. The week after that they travel to Lafayette, Louisiana, to play, er, Louisiana-Lafayette.

Three teams--UAB, UTEP, and Army--lost their eighth consecutive games on Saturday.
