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 😳
