Kent State headed to first Mid-American Conference title game

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio -- Kent State 's remarkable season just keeps getting better. The Golden Flashes (No. 25 AP) are going to their first Mid-American Conference title game with the most wins in school history. But getting there wasn't easy Saturday, especially for second-year coach Darrell Hazell. Kent State's defense stopped Bowling Green twice within the last five minutes in the Flashes' territory, holding on for a 31-24 victory. Luke Wollet 's interception of Matt Schilz ' heave into the end zone with 21 seconds left sealed the victory. The Falcons had driven to the Kent State 14 with less than a minute left, before coming up empty on four consecutive throws. "My stomach was in my throat," Hazell said.
