Tomlinson has rough start vs. Ohio
Ruel Tomlinson was 8-for-18 passing for 62 yards and one interception during Wednesday’s 41-0 loss versus Ohio. Tomlinson was given the spot under center versus the Bobcats as Kent State hoped for another win, but he perhaps was not the answer as he logged just 62 passing yards and dished a pick. The freshman quarterback could start again this upcoming week versus Miami-Ohio as the team has legitimately nothing to lose at this point, but it should be more clear as the week develops.
Gabbert throws three TDs vs. Ball State
Brett Gabbert completed 16 of 32 passes for 219 yards and three touchdowns during Tuesday’s 27-21 victory over Ball State. Gabbert now has three or more passing touchdowns in the last four games for the RedHawks, and he’s led his team to a 4-1 conference record. The 6-foot quarterback dished out his three tuddys in the first half, and kept a ground attack going in the second half to lead his team to a win. He’ll look to keep the momentum going next week against a lacking Kent State squad.

Kent State vs. Miami Ohio Prediction
Take Miami Ohio. I know this is a big number to lay with a middling MAC team but it’s hard to put into words how terrible Kent State is this season. They’re coming off a 41-0 loss at home to Ohio. Two weeks ago, they were hammered 52-21 at Western Michigan. Three weeks ago, they lost 27-6 at Bowling Green. At least the Golden Flashes covered in that loss, but that was just the second time they beat the number this season. They’re horrendous. I wouldn’t be shocked if they were shutout again tonight.
Kent State vs. Miami Ohio Prediction: Miami Ohio Redhawks -30.5
