Title: Kent State preview: Saban’s alma mater is a good tune-up for later games Post by: pmull on August 31, 2011, 09:07:11 AM Alabama head coach Nick Saban probably doesn’t want anyone to talk about Kent State as a “tune-up” opponent, but honesty demands the Golden Flashes be described as such. Kent State had an ineffective offense in 2010, but was one of the country’s best teams at defending the run. Until late in the season, KSU managed to stay clear of any blowout losses, including a couple of respectable showings against Boston College and Penn State. But the Golden Flashes haven’t seen talent the likes of what they’ll face in Tuscaloosa.

Good review of the KSU team and their strengths and weaknesses.

Kent State's record against ranked teams is 0-21 and they've been outscored 10-134 in their last four meetings with ranked teams.
