Ohio vs Akron Game Preview

Why Akron Will Win

The Zips are playing better.

The coaching under Joe Moorhead has been stronger than it’s been in years, and it’s showing as the passing game is steady and the team is far more competitive. It’s not winning, but it’s hanging around.

Ohio’s defense is the worst in America allowing 577 yards per game. Everyone has moved the ball at will on the Bobcats, and Akron should be able to hang around for a while, but …

Why Ohio Will Win

The Ohio offense is bombing away. That’s partly because the defense is giving up way too many yards and the other side has to keep up, but QB Kurtis Rourke has been terrific.

The Bobcats lead the MAC in passing yards, but they’re not going to need to go off in this – the Akron offense won’t do enough.

The Zips are awful on third downs, they’re hurting themselves with penalties, and …

What’s Going To Happen

Akron is having too many problems scoring.

It’ll crank up the passing yards with at least 250, and there will be moments in the first quarter when it looks like something amazing might happen.

Ohio will settle in, the offense will be balanced, and it’ll have its first relatively easy win of the year.

Ohio vs Akron Game Preview

Why Ohio Will Win

Is anything going right in this disastrous season?

It’s been a stunning dud, but the offensive line hasn’t been too bad at keeping teams out of the backfield, and the on the other side the pass defense hasn’t been too awful. But for Ohio, it’s really about playing a team like Akron that’s having almost as many issues.

The Akron offensive front is having a nightmare of a time keeping defenses out of the backfield, there are too many mistakes, and the D can’t come up with any stops on third downs.

But …

Why Akron Will Win

Ohio really, really can’t seem to do anything right.

Akron at least got walloped by Ohio State and Auburn. Ohio couldn’t do much against Northwestern and Syracuse.

There’s still a long, long way to go for the Zip program that’s taking baby steps, but at least the offense can slow things down and control the clock just enough to matter. Ohio doesn’t have the offense to blow up when it has its chances, but …

What’s Going To Happen

Come on, Ohio. Enough.

Frank Solich was a great head coach for the program, but this team shouldn’t have gone into the tank just because the guy retired.

The offense needs two good scoring drives to break the dam, and it’ll get that in InfoCision.

Akron might be improving, but it’s going to be totally miserable on third downs on both sides of the ball. Ohio will be just slightly miserable.

Why Akron Will Win

The Ohio offense wasn’t able to dominate in the loss to Central Michigan. If it’s working like it’s supposed to, it gets the ground game going and controls the tempo – it didn’t do that.

Akron’s run defense was pushed too much in the 58-13 loss to Western Michigan, but the combination of Jeremiah Knight and Teon Donald ran well, and the offensive front wasn’t all that bad even though there were a few too many plays allowed in the backfield.

Slow down the Bobcat running game just enough, average over four yards per carry again, and hope to catch a few massive breaks, because …

Why Ohio Will Win

The Ohio passing game is going to hit on enough big plays to overcome any issues with the running attack.

There actually won’t be any problems running the ball, but Kurtis Rourke showed off his downfield potential averaging close to 11 yards per pass with two scores and the Bobcat receivers averaged over 18 yards per catch – that’s what happens when you load up against the run like Akron will have to do.

By the way, WMU’s Kaleb Eleby averaged a ridiculous 16.4 yards per pass because the Zips didn’t generate any pass rush. Ohio’s line isn’t going to get Rourke hit.

What’s Going To Happen

Will Akron open with another onside kick attempt like it tried last week?

Ohio had CMU in trouble, but the offense wasn’t able to close on enough late drives. Akron doesn’t have the defensive line to hold up – this is the week the Bobcat running game goes off with well over 200 yards coming. It’ll feel like Ohio always has the ball.

It’ll be better than last year’s Ohio 52-3 win.
