Game #12

Kent State (4-7, 3-4 MAC) vs. Ohio (8-3, 6-1 MAC)

Friday, November 26, 2010 • 11:00 a.m. EST

Dix Stadium (20,500/FieldTurf) • Kent, Ohio

Radio: WNIR 100.1 FM (Ty Linder & Rob Polinsky)

Television: ESPNU (Justin Kutcher & Tom Luginbill) • Internet: ESPN3.com

The Opening Kick

Friday's season finale will be a bittersweet one for Kent State football. The game will be the last for head coach Doug Martin, who announced Sunday that he will resign after the contest. At the same time, it will mark the first-ever national television broadcast from Dix Stadium as ESPNU pays a visit Kent.

The 63rd meeting between the in-state rivals has seen the visiting team claim each of the last four contests between the Flashes and Bobcats. A win would allow Kent State to finish at least .500 in the MAC for the fourth time in seven seasons under Martin — equaling the total from the 26 seasons prior to his taking the helm in 2004.

Terry Earns Academic All-America Nod

On Tuesday, junior running back Jacquise Terry became the fourth player in school history to garner ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA First Team Academic All-America accolades. Terry, who carries a 3.66 GPA in aeronautics, was the only MAC player on the 24-player first team that includes both FBS and FCS schools. A second team selection in 2009, the Phenix City, Ala., native is the only repeat honoree in school history.

Facts In A Flash

• Sophomore quarterback Spencer Keith has completed 59.1 percent of his passes (204-345) en route to throwing for 2,112 yards and eight touchdowns so far this season. He has spread the wealth to 12 different receivers.

• Sophomore wide receiver Tyshon Goode leads the Flashes with 56 grabs for 685 yards and five TDs. Junior wideout Sam Kirkland is second with 52 catches for 585 yards and a touchdown. 

• Junior running back Jacquise Terry has rushed for 542 yards and seven touchdowns, while making 23 catches for 285 yards and two TDs.

• Defensively, senior linebacker Dorian Wood leads the team with 90 tackles, while senior safety Brian Lainhart has 82 stops. Junior cornerback Norman Wolfe is tied for 10th in the country with five interceptions.

• Lainhart has contributed to 20 turnovers in the last 30 games. His 17 career INTs are two shy of the school record and are the most among current FBS players.

• Freshman lineman Roosevelt Nix leads the MAC in sacks (8.5, tied) and tackles for loss (18.5) and is 2nd in forced fumbles (4).
