Kent State Scores 22 Straight to Bury Wofford 36-15
Kent State trailed at the half, 15-14, and then scored the next 22 points. That is the whole story of a 36-15 win over Wofford, which got a field goal at the buzzer of the first half and nothing else after that.
The first half was a tangle. Dru DeShields opened with a 12-yard touchdown run, Wofford answered with a Sam Spence field goal and a 10-yard run by Gerald Modest Jr., and then Wofford added a safety. Kent State took a 14-12 lead when Rafael Terrero Jr. ran an interception back 63 yards for a touchdown with 1:50 left in the half. Spence kicked a 50-yarder with 0:02 on the clock and Wofford went to the break up one. There were four lead changes in all.
Nobody scored in the third quarter. Then Jakorion Caffey ran in from 5 yards out at 14:21 of the fourth, and DeShields found Wayne Harris for the two-point try to make it 22-15. DeShields added a 20-yard run at 8:27 and a 10-yard touchdown pass to Harris at 4:16. Kent State finished with 450 yards and 5 sacks, and it still threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, which tells you how good the rest of it was.
Kent State is 1-1 and Wofford is 0-1. Wofford's last points were that 50-yard field goal at the end of the first half, and all 22 of Kent State's closing points came in the fourth quarter. For fantasy, DeShields had the week: 35.3 points on two rushing touchdowns, a touchdown pass and 74 yards on the ground, despite those two picks.
