The two MAC rivals enter this contest on the opposite side of the momentum as Buffalo arrives at Dix Stadium as winners of three on the bounce while Kent State is coming off three straight defeats.

Each of the Golden Flashes' defeats came by a touchdown or less though, and playing at home on a short week should give them an advantage over the visitors.

Also keep in mind that Kent State needs to win out to reach six wins and secure bowl eligibility, which should spark some urgency from the Golden Flashes.

8* play on Kent State.
