Washington and Kent State will open their 2022 season against each other, according to documents obtained by FBSchedules.com.
The game, to be played in Seattle, will be played Sept. 3, 2022. The Golden Flashes will make $1.8 million for the trip.
It will be the first meeting between the schools. Washington last played a MAC school on Oct. 12, 1991, a 48-0 win over Toledo en route to that season’s national championship. Kent State opened the 2019 season against Arizona State, a 30-7 loss in Tempe.
Washington will also host Portland State either Sept. 10 or 17. Kent State also has a trip to Georgia slated for three weeks after its sojourn to Seattle.
