Kent State (1-1) at No. 8 Auburn (2-0)

When and where: 7 p.m. Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama.

On the air: ESPN2 with Anish Shroff, Ahmad Brooks and Kris Budden.

Outlook: It’s the first time these two teams will meet and, if your Kent State, you’ll likely hope it’s the last. Freshman quarterback Bo Nix has looked like a veteran under center, throwing for 384 yards in his first two starts for the Tigers. The Golden Flashes have not been as solid — giving up 446 yards of total offense in their first two games while compiling just 268 yards themselves.

The Last Line: Well, it’s homecoming at Auburn and the Golden Flashes will likely want to get out as quickly as possible.
