Consider that not long ago, Kent State was a college football wasteland. But coach Sean Lewis is starting to change NCAA Football betting perceptions. To show, Lewis has produced two bowl seasons in four years at Kent State. Also, in 2021, the Golden Flashes won the MAC East Division title. Lewis is a program builder and is constructing a solid foundation for the Golden Flashes program and image. In a similar way, Craig Bohl is leading Wyoming to its fourth bowl game in the past six seasons.
