It was a rather wet homecoming on Saturday as alumni flocked to Kent State to watch the Golden Flashes take on Eastern Michigan, marking the beginning of conference play. 

The Eagles of Eastern Michigan scored the first points of the day off of a 4 Yard run by Jackson-Anderson. With 30 seconds left in the First Quarter Ayden Harris ran it into the endzone for the Flashes to make it 7-7. The teams continued trading Touchdowns in the Second Quarter, first with a 27 Yard run by Delbert Mimms for EMU and then with a 43 Yard pass from Ulatowski to Floriea for the Flashes. Eastern Michigan ended the half with another carry by Jackson-Anderson to put the Eagles up 21-14. 

The Flashes came out of the break fired up and put another 7 on the board off of a 65 Yard pass to Chrishon McCray to tie the game back up. Eastern Michigan answered yet again with a Touchdown of their own followed shortly after by a Field Goal to give the Eagles a 10 point lead. EMU capped off the Quarter with another Touchdown, making it 38-21. Eastern Michigan struck again to begin the Fourth Quarter extending their lead to 45-21. Ulatowski connected with McCray on a 68 Yard pass for a Touchdown, the Flashes attempted a 2-point Conversion but were unsuccessful. EMU reached the endzone one more time to extend their lead. Ulatowski called his own number and ran it in for the Flashes, but after a second unsuccessful Conversion attempt the final score was 52-33 Eastern Michigan.

Kent State drops to 0-5 heading into their bye week. The Flashes will pick back up against the Ball State Cardinals at home on October 12th.

Highlights:
• Ulatowski threw for 345 Yards in his first start of the year
• Big Play McCray was back in action with 188 Yards and 2 Touchdowns
• Alex Branch led with 9 Tackles
• Zaid Hamdan had 1 Sack and 5 Tackles
