Matt Vezza’s TD proves difference in Ohio’s 13-10 win over Kent State

In a thrilling matchup, Ohio defeated Kent State in the Mid-American Conference opener with a final score of 13-10 on Saturday. A key contributor to the victory was Matt Vezza, who scored a touchdown run in the second quarter, giving Ohio a 10-3 lead at halftime. Will Hryszko added to Ohio's advantage with two field goals, one in the first quarter and another connecting from 44 yards late in the third quarter to seal the win with just 15 seconds remaining.
