07/22/21 - QB Dustin Crum, rSr/2022, Kent State

At long last, after struggling miserably for the vast majority of the past four-plus decades, Kent State's days as a football underdog have ended. For the first time in program history the Golden Flashes were picked to win the Mid-American Conference's East Division in the annual preseason media poll, which was released to kickoff Media Day Festivities on Tuesday at Ford Field in Detroit. And the voting really wasn't even that close. The Flashes received half of the 22 first-place votes and totaled 112 points to finish well ahead of runner-up Ohio (96 points, 2 first-place votes), Miami (94, 5) and defending East Division champion Buffalo (93, 4). Ball State was chosen to claim the West Division and to win the MAC Championship Game for the second straight year.

Kent State's highest predicted finish in past preseason media polls was third in 2013, the year after the Flashes went unbeaten during the MAC regular season to capture the East Division crown and earned a school-record 11 wins. What does this sudden burst of respect tossed Kent State's way mean to fourth-year head coach Sean Lewis and his program? "This is great. I'd much rather be on this side of the spectrum than where we where a few years ago with these preseason polls, when nobody was talking about us," said Lewis. "But all of that being said, it's still about work. Work works. Let's go get what we're capable of doing. Let's embrace these expectations from the outside. Let's lean into it. This is where we want to be." - Akron Beacon Journal
