Torrential rains began at the stadium early in the second quarter, just after the Ragin' Cajuns took a 14-7 lead over the Golden Flashes, and then extended it to 17-7 just before halftime. All scores by both teams to that point were the result of turnovers.
The first home game for first-year head coach Darrell Hazell was a rude awakening to the long futile plight of Kent State football. Hazell tried to feature a passing game that has never risen above the ranks of average, at best. Meanwhile the highlight recruit in Hazell's first class, 6-1, 257-pound tailback Trayion Durham -- tailor-made for the nasty conditions - appeared for three plays; blocking on two pass attempts and dropping a swing pass out of the backfield.
A whopping nine first-half penalties, seven from the offensive line, spoiled whatever chance Hazell and KSU had of making a good first impression, and most of those came before the rains hit.
The lightning was gone when the teams returned to the field, but it was still raining when play resumed at 10:18.
