Kent State has an under rated defense and can sneak up on some teams this year. I know they lost 34-7 here a year ago when the spread was 21, but why is the spread now 17? Boston College has a good defense especially in their linebackers and they have a stud at running back in Montel Harris, but Kent state has possible all conference performers at each level with MOnte Simmons at end, Mixon at Linebacker and Lainhart at safety. Both of these teams are going to be running the ball a lot in this game. Kent State returns their star RB Eugene Jarvis who looked like his old self last week when the Kent state team ran the ball 39 times. Look for much of the same here and the same on the BC side with Montel Harris being the answer for BC as they try to decide on a QB. BC also has the look ahead game with Vtech and Notre Dame and probably won't be looking at Kent State as a threat, but this will be closer than many think.
