KENT, Ohio (AP) — Dru DeShields threw for a touchdown and ran for two more scores, and Kent State dominated the second half for a 36-15 win over FCS Wofford on Saturday.
Down 15-14 at halftime after Sam Spence drilled a 50-yard field goal with two seconds left, the Golden Flashes (1-1) put together three long drives while the defense stymied the Terriers (2-1).
DeShields was 16 of 25 for 248 yards with two first-half interceptions and ran for 74 yards on 10 keepers.
DeShields’ 20-yard run capped a 68-yard drive for a 29-15 lead in the fourth quarter, and he connected with Wayne Harris for a 10-yard score, ending a 57-yard drive to close the scoring. Jakorion Caffey closed a quick 85-yard drive to open the third quarter with a 5-yard run and DeShields found Harris for the conversion and a 22-15 lead.
Wofford had three first downs and 67 total yards in the second half, finishing with five-straight punts after throwing an interception less than a minute after the break.
Gerald Modest Jr. had a 10-yard touchdown run for the Terriers, who picked up a safety on special teams. Ethan Drumm was intercepted two times, with Rafael Terrero Jr. returning one for a 63-yard touchdown in the second quarter.
