Chestnut Hill, MA – The Kent State Golden Flashes earned a hard-fought 35-28 road victory against Boston College, fueled by standout performances from safety Malcolm Folk and wide receiver Luke Florea.
The game was closely contested from the start, with the first quarter ending in a 7-7 tie. Kent State gained the upper hand in the second quarter, taking a 21-14 lead into halftime. Malcolm Folk was instrumental on defense, returning an interception for a touchdown and forcing a critical fumble that kept Boston College at bay.
On the offensive side, Luke Florea delivered his best performance of the season, catching 10 passes for 197 yards. His big plays were crucial in setting up Kent State’s scoring drives.
Boston College had a chance to close the gap before halftime but made a questionable decision to go for it on fourth down instead of kicking a field goal, a choice that ultimately didn’t pay off. Late in the fourth quarter, Boston College managed to swing the momentum by forcing a fumble, giving them a glimmer of hope. However, despite the late surge, they were ultimately unable to stage a comeback, as Kent State's defense held firm to secure the victory.
This win also marks an impressive achievement for Kent State, as they went undefeated in out-of-conference play, including two significant road victories against Power 5 teams, Boston College and Indiana.
With two losses in MAC play, Kent State understands they are on the outside looking in for the MAC Championship game. Nevertheless, the Golden Flashes are playing their hearts out, showing resilience and determination regardless of their standing.
