Matt Vezza's TD Proves Difference in Ohio's 13-10 Win over Kent State
Will Hryszko kicked two field goals, and Sean Leonard missed a 32-yard try as Kent State fell short late.
On Saturday, Ohio University defeated Kent State 13-10 in their Mid-American Conference opener at Dix Stadium, with Matt Vezza scoring a touchdown and Will Hryszko kicking two field goals.
After Caleb Chamberlin blocked a punt by Jake Stoeckel, the Bobcats established a 10-3 halftime lead following Hryszko's 40-yard field goal and Vezza's 35-yard touchdown run.
Mason King's 1-yard touchdown run tied the game 10-10 for the Golden Flashes, but Sean Leonard's 32-yard field goal attempt missed with 10 seconds remaining in regulation.
Kent State coach Mark Carney said the loss "definitely stings," as the Flashes fell to 2-3 overall and 1-1 in the MAC after missing a 49-yard field goal attempt earlier.
The victory improves Ohio to 3-2 overall and 1-0 in the MAC, positioning the Bobcats ahead in conference play while the Flashes seek to rebound from the narrow defeat.
