Kent State will visit Ohio State for a Week 3 matchup in Ohio Stadium on Sept. 19. To preview that matchup, The Bill and Doug Show went right to the source and welcomed Kent State head coach Mark Carney to the show.
Carney took over the Golden Flashes a year ago as the interim head coach and led them to a 5-7 record that he thinks maybe should have been more like 7-5. That job, after Kent State was 1-23 the previous two seasons, earned him the full-time gig.
In this episode Carney discusses his background as a Cleveland native and college quarterback, the key players the Flashes have back for this season, the relationship between Ohio State and Ohio MAC teams, and more.
As we work our way through Ohio State's 2026 schedule, this is our third opponent breakdown, following Ball State and Texas. Look for the Illinois breakdown next week as we get into the Big Ten schedule.
