The WORST FBS Program in College Football... (Kent State Football) 

they punch above their weight in terms of NFL players tho. james harrison, antonio gates, jack lambert, josh cribbs and julian edelman

I always wanted Saban to complete a full turnaround of his alma mater program as HC once he left Alabama. But now I know that he tried & they picked someone else over him he’d never stoop that low again lol.

You gotta do one of these for Eastern Michigan. The history is insane

Why would you fired a coach who is raising graduation rates and developing character in the students? That's EXACTLY what a college athletic program should do.

Speaking of Kent, I thought Dri Archer was gonna be that dude in the pros lol, I love Bowling Green never looked forward to when we had to play them 😭

Kent State’s history is fascinating. Ridiculously good NFL players across decades. Yet consistently so bad. The 2012 season was fun though

kent state was my first ncaa 14 rebuild because of the LEGENDARY Dri Archer. Dude had like 4000 total yards his sr year for me between rushing, receiving and returning. think he had a return td every game too 😭 i miss him

The battle for the wagon wheel has always been one of my favorite college football rivalries

If it makes them feel any better they might not even be the worst KSU this year depending on how smooth Kennesaw's transition is.

The description of their "credentials" reminds me heavily of another "K-State": the Kansas State Wildcats, prior to the 1990s. Many of the numbers were similar, though Kansas State had only one bowl game to the five that Kent State has. Like the Golden Flashes, they were often described as the "worst" college football program (a 1989 Sports Illustrated article dubbed them "Futility U") at the top level (then called Division 1-A, now called the FBS), were neglected in favor of the school's basketball program, also had only one conference title in school history and had a total of just 5 winning seasons from 1935 to 1990. Kent State just needs to find their own version of Bill Snyder to turn them around...

How saban gonna build bama into a powerhouse and let Kent state be worst school in football 😅🫣

Kent State is just waiting for it's opportunity to break out, I've been to every home game starting in 2020(band member) and even when we lose, it's always the end of the game that gets us, if we can ever figure out how to finish games, we'll definitely see more success

Your not gonna tell me Akron isn’t worse then them

My dad played football at Kent State in the early 80s. He played two years and they went 0-11 and 1-10. Also fun fact about that 2011 team. If Kent beat Northern Illinois in the MAC championship they would have gotten an invite to play in the Orange bowl. Northern ended up playing Florida State in the Orange Bowl that year. Both Kent and Northern were ranked heading into that MAC championship game.

Hey go easy on our MAC brethren lol

I'm a current employee at Kent State and I feel like the problem with the team is when they finally get a coach who starts to win, they always leave for a bigger school as soon as they get the chance. When that happens, the program has to start all over again. When coach Lewis was here the vibe was so different! He definitely changed the culture here but when he left, it gutted that program because all of the better players on the team transferred. I hope coach Burns can turn it around but it doesn't look promising honestly.

They gave Georgia a good fight the other year only losing by 17 to a national title Georgia team in 2022

I've always thought that, even though not following the program. It always seemed they lost when scores were posted. I was a freshman in college in 1969, so that brings back some unique sensations when hearing the name.

They used to turn out great NFL guys. Josh Cribbs, Edelman, James Harrison and Hall of Famer Jack Lambert. Hell, Antonio Gates did not even play college football! These Golden Flashers were no flashes in the pan! But now they seem to be falling on some hard times.

Julian Edelman came from JUCO to Kent State. Go Pats!

Interesting how coach Burns and coach Fleck went 1-11 in their very first season as a head coach. I think learning under coach Fleck all those years will help coach Burns turn around the program.

my freshman year OC played tackle at kent state and pancaked joey bosa. that was his favorite moment

It's worth adding that Kent State is more famous for a massacre that took place on it's campus than anything else: (mention Kent State to anyone over 50 and this is all they will think about. I would imagine this has held them back over the years.) "The Kent State shootings (also known as the Kent State massacre or May 4 massacre[3][4][5]) were the killing of four and wounding of nine unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard on the Kent State University campus. The shootings took place on May 4, 1970, during a rally opposing the expanding involvement of the Vietnam War into Cambodia by United States military forces as well as protesting the National Guard presence on campus and the draft. Twenty-eight National Guard soldiers fired about 67 rounds over 13 seconds, killing four students and wounding nine others, one of whom suffered permanent paralysis."

Did my internship with the team. Their TE room is an old shower. Lol awful admin

We open on Dix stadium.... 😂

To be fair to Kent state, it was always the university of Idaho vandals but they were so bad they got demoted to fcs

You should do a video about how Alabama stole the swag Georgia Southern. Georgia Southern with first called Blue tide!!!!! Then Alabama became the crimson Tide!!!!!!

Bowling Green , sister school??

118-0 really 😂😂😂

Just to show how bad UTEP is Kent beat them 54 13!!!! Utep is the worst college team.in history!!!!

Akron is worse. Check that program out

utep

Current Kent State student here. Kent will never be good! They don't prioritize football and don't give two fucks about the team, even though it brings in more money than any other program they have on campus. They are content to be terrible and a laughing stock. Terrible team, terrible stadium, terrible administration. They are more worried about burning through money with woke initiatives and telling the may 4th story over and over like a broken record than achieving anything of note athletically or academically.

Kent State has the best shooters

I'm not here to make you money dude.
