The Golden Flashes finished with a 5-7 record this season and missed out on a bowl game. They also averaged 417.9 total offensive yards per game, which was the second-most in the MAC. Kent State averaged the fifth-most points scored per game in the conference as well with 28.4.
Faus will be looking to help out what was an impressive offense in 2023. Tradition will keep you posted on any further staff changes for the Golden Gophers in the future.
