Kent State at Washington Prediction for Week 1
Odds, best bets and analysis for this college football matchup
By Matthew Horner – Sep 2, 2022, 7:49pm
The one thing that Kent State has going for them in this game is the offense, which is among the quickest in college football. No huddle, fast paced play is something that can throw bigger teams off guard like Washington, and it's what the Golden Flashes will have to do if they want to sniff contention here. They lost a few key players over the last few years, but I still fully expect them to be a fast and dangerous offense that wants to control the pace of the game.
The offensive line has virtually no shot at overpowering the Washington defensive front, but the good news is that the running back corp is versatile enough to still make things happen. If they can manage to get out from back there and into open space, they could break off huge runs with the quickness they posses. Collin Schlee was behind Dustin Crum over the last few years at QB, but that has given him ample time to be ready for the starting job. Plus, he has some great weapons to throw to in the passing game.
One thing is for sure, they will need to score fast and often.
