They were led by second-year head coach Paul Haynes and played their home games at Dix Stadium as a member of the East Division of the Mid-American Conference. They finished the season 2–9, 1–6 in MAC play to finish in last place in the East Division. They only played 11 games due to their November 19 game vs Buffalo being cancelled due to inclement weather.

Starting center Jason Bitsko, 21 years old and a fourth-year junior, was found unresponsive in his off-campus apartment by local paramedics and police on the morning of Wednesday, August 20, 2014, and efforts to revive him were unsuccessful. Foul play is not suspected; the investigating police believe he died of an undiagnosed, and as yet undetermined, medical issue. He was praised as an exemplary athlete by Head Kent State Football Coach Paul Haynes and Kent State University's Athletic Director.
