Kent State sophomore Nate Terhune (Chagrin Falls, Ohio) was named Mid-American Conference East Division Special Teams Player of the Week Monday following his performance in the Golden Flashes' 44-13 win at Ohio on Nov. 19.
In the third quarter, Terhune lined up in the backfield on a punt formation, caught the snap and ran 61 yards for a touchdown, extending Kent State's lead to 31-13. In the process, the 265-pound nose tackle hurdled over a Bobcat defender. The highlight was featured on numerous national media outlets.
Terhune also helped on special teams in the first half, recovering an Ohio fumble on a punt attempt. Defensively, he recorded a pair of tackles and a half tackle for loss.
Two other Kent State players earned weekly honors. Senior Dri Archer (Laurel, Fla.) claimed All-Purpose Performer of the Week Honorable Mention from College Football Performance Awards. Archer was also named MAC Offensive Player of the Week by CollegeSportsMadness. He ran for 138 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries and caught five passes for 53 yards.
Junior Casey Pierce (Parma, Ohio) earned Tight End Performer of the Week Honorable Mention from College Football Performance Awards. Pierce caught five passes for 51 yards and a touchdown.
The Golden Flashes won their final two games of the season by a combined score of 68-19. Kent State earned wins over its two rivals from the southern part of the state (Ohio & Miami) in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1986-87.
