A pair of late missed field goals led to a horrible bad beat in Kent State's loss to Texas A&M
Oh man. Week 1 of the 2021 college football season is over, but this bad beat might stick with bettors for a loooooong time.
Let’s set it up: Kent State played Texas A&M over the weekend, and the Golden Flashes were of course underdogs against the No. 6-ranked Aggies — the line was -29.5.
But with over three minutes remaining in the contest, Texas A&M was up 41-10 and Kent State kicker Andrew Glass came out to attempt a 25-yarder, a chip shot for some. If he nailed it? Kent State would cover if A&M ran out the clock.
Obviously, you know from the headline that he missed. BUT THAT WASN’T THE ONLY MISS!
This could be the worst bad beat of the season
Kent State (+29.5) just needs this FG to cover from 25 yards and he missed it…pic.twitter.com/QS97eqmTnw

A Nico Bolden interception with 1:10 left then led to the Golden Flashes marching down the field. With four seconds left Kent State called a timeout — maybe the coach knew the spread? I kid, it’s more likely that he was practicing a late-game situation — and Glass lined up for a 24-yarder.
DOINK.
THIS IS NOT THE SAME CLIP AS BEFORE
