The Ohio State Buckeyes won last week and are now sitting at 2-1. The Buckeyes struggled against a very unimpressive Tulsa Golden Hurricane team and won in a less than impressive 41-20 score by getting a couple of touchdowns late. This week should be different though. The game against the Zips should be little more than a tune-up this week against one of the worst teams in college football.
The Zips sit at 1-2 with their only victory being against an FCS school. Akron is actually the only Mid-American Conference school that has ever beaten Ohio State, but that victory was in 1894, that’s right 127 years ago. The Buckeyes are actually 34-1 against MAC schools overall.
The last time these two schools met was in 2011 and Ohio State shut Akron out 42-0. The Buckeyes lead the series with the Zips 7-1.
