Impact Kargman almost made it to 200 passing yards similarily to last week, but he was still unable to get an efficient passing game going. Kent State did get closer to a win against St. Francis than last week's blowout at the hands of Pitt, but Kargman will need to elevate his play in the coming weeks, especially if Kent State decides to rely on the passing game as they have so far.
