2:00 PM Miami (OH) at Akron:
This is a Mid American Conference
matchup between the Miami OH RedHawks and the Akron Zips. Miami OH is 2-2 on
the season behind an almost exclusive passing attack putting up 227 yards per
game. The rushing attack is ranked in the bottom 5 nationally with only 93
yards rushing per game. The RedHawks are being outscored by nearly 13 points
per game with their only wins coming versus FCS Southern Illinois and FBS
newbie Massachusetts. The Akron Zips enter this game at 1-3 despite being
competitive in 2 of their 4 losses. The Zips were within 4 points of Tennessee
in the third quarter before a series of mistakes put the game away for the
Vols. Akron is putting up wild numbers in the air with 340 yards per game
passing led by quarterback Dalton Williams' 1233 yards and 10 passing
touchdown. This is the 23rd meeting between the two schools with Miami OH
holding a 16-5-1 overall series lead. If there is ever a year that sets up for
Akron to win, this is the year. The RedHawks will struggle to stop the strong
Akron passing game but perform better on offense than in some previous games. Akron
pulls off the win. Akron 34-28.
