The Kent State Golden Flashes will be hyper-motivated for this contest with a chance to win their first bowl game ever and first postseason appearance since 2012. On the other side of the field, we have a Utah State Aggies team that might be a bit too fat and happy with its seventh bowl appearance in nine years.

Additionally, earlier this week several members of the Utah State football team have been charged with marijuana possession, among them junior quarterback Jordan Love and senior running back Gerold Bright ... On Wednesday night, a school spokesman said that the three players will play in the Frisco Bowl, but things might change.

Kent State rarely has any trouble moving the football and the team has scored 30+ points in four straight games, winning the last three as underdogs. QB Dustin Crum owns an 18-2 TD/INT ratio while averaging 8.2 yards per pass attempt and also leads Kent State with 560 rushing yards.

8* play on Kent State.
