DawgmanRadio: Everything you need to know about Kent State with Allen Moff

Dawgman.com's Kim Grinolds spoke this week with Allen Moff, who is the main beat writer covering Kent State, to get his thoughts on the KSU-Washington game from the visitor's point of view.Per the Record-Courier, the paper of record covering the city of Kent and Portage County in Ohio, "... Moff has served as the Record-Courier's Kent State athletics beat writer for nearly 15 years over two separate stints. Allen covered the Golden Flashes men's basketball team's historic run to the NCAA Tournament's Elite 8 in 2002, and returned to the beat just in time to cover the Kent State football team's appearances in the 2012 MAC Championship Game and GoDaddy.com Bowl."The talk between Grinolds and Moff started out with Kent State's head coach, Sean Lewis, and how Lewis and his staff have re-energized the program, especially on offense. Will it be tough to keep Lewis if the Golden Flashes continue to succeed?The two also talk about Kent State's schedule. Starting at Washington would be considered tough enough with the travel, but Oklahoma and Georgia loom quickly on the horizon.Talk turns to Kent State's 'Flash Fast' offense, one that uses spread concepts but will be a run-first attack. Moff talks about the names to know, what the Golden Flashes do well, and also some concerns he has for them on that side of the ball.After a quick break, the conversation moves over to the defensive side of the ball and Moff gives the lowdown on Kent State's moves that they've made to improve a defense that definitely struggled in 2021. They've brought in a new defensive coordinator, as well as some transfer personnel to mix in with a number of returning veterans.Next, Moff gives his take on Kent State's special teams. How comfortable would the Golden Flashes be with a 40-yard field goal to win the game?Finally, they talk about fans coming out to the game and how confident fans are about the season ahead, and what Kent State is capable of doing this weekend.
