KENT -- Eugene Jarvis ran for 155 yards and Najah Pruden caught a 68-yard touchdown pass Friday to help Kent State beat Eastern Michigan 14-6.
Pruden's pass from Julian Edelman seven minutes into the game was the only touchdown in the first half. Daniel Muir returned an interception five yards for a touchdown in the third quarter as the Golden Flashes (6-5, 5-2 Mid-American Conference) took a 14-0 lead.
The Eagles (1-10, 1-6) got on the board in the fourth quarter with two field goals by Andrew Wellock.
The win snapped a three-game losing streak for Kent and makes it bowl eligible.
Edelman was 9-of-18 passing for 188 yards and one interception.
Eastern Michigan's Andy Schmitt finished 10-of-21 for 104 yards and threw two interceptions.
He led the Eagles in rushing with 40 yards.
Tyler Jones went 5-for-13 passing and had two interceptions.
Oklahoma
WACO, Texas -- Oklahoma still has a chance to get into the Big 12 championship game, and the first step is a win today at downtrodden Baylor.
Thanks to an unexpected loss by Texas and the Sooners' impressive comeback last weekend, 16th-ranked Oklahoma (8-2, 5-1 Big 12) got a late-season reprieve in the conference title hunt.
"Things still have to happen. We still have to take care of our stuff and then see what happens after that," Oklahoma quarterback Paul Thompson said.
"We're definitely aware of that, but we can't look forward to things that are not in our control."
Their national title hopes were dashed in early October.
The Sooners know they first have to win Saturday at Baylor (4-7, 3-4). Then they have to get some more help for their regular season finale to have title implications.
"I won't let our focus change," coach Bob Stoops said. "We're going to Baylor this week, so that is where all of our energy is at. We take pride in each win. We're about the entirety of it."
Texas could have clinched the Big 12 South last weekend, but was upset 45-42 at Kansas State. About the same time, Oklahoma was overcoming a two-touchdown deficit to beat Texas Tech.
Five straight wins
Oklahoma has won five straight since losing to Texas, which has the tiebreaker should the teams finish tied for the top spot.
The Longhorns still clinch the South if they win their regular season finale the day after Thanksgiving against Texas A & amp;M, which is coming off one-point home losses to Big 12 North champ Nebraska and Oklahoma. But a Texas loss would give the Sooners a chance to win the division crown the following day against their instate rival, Oklahoma State.
All those scenarios for Oklahoma assume another win over Baylor. That's a pretty solid assumption.
The Sooners have won all 15 games in a series that dates to 1901. They needed double overtime to win at home last year, but won their last three games in Waco by an average of six touchdowns.
Baylor will finish a once-promising season with its 11th straight losing record. The Bears have three Big 12 victories in a season for the first time, but consecutive blowout losses since record-setting quarterback Shawn Bell tore a knee ligament ended their bowl chances.
