The Akron Zips look to rebound from their opening game loss to nationally ranked Oklahoma last Saturday in Norman, 41-3. It was a the Zips were in for most of the first half before the Sooners, using their passing game rather than running, scored 21 unanswered points in the third quarter to break the game open.
The Zips will be challenged again this week, although the challenge is against a team UA defeated on the road last year. The Pitt Panthers, who defeated Youngstown State 45-37 last week, will be seeking to avenge last year’s Akron win at Pitt.
In addition to opening their seventh season in Infocision Stadium Saturday, the Blue and Gold will celebrate the 10th anniversary of their Mid-American Conference Championship team.
