First glance shows the Akron Zips at 2-1 on the season, playing at home vs 1-4 Miami, Ohio. It certainly looks like a mismatch in the won/lost column. Miami, O. was over their head vs Cincinnati and Minnesota, but in their 3 games vs W. Michigan, Bowling Green and Marshall, the Red Hawks have a positive scoring margin. One of the 2 Akron wins was against Morgon St. so this team isn't as good as the record may indicate. These teams are pretty much a wash from the line of scrimmage and Ohio has played a slightly better schedule. Chuck Martin brought back an experienced team with 8 offensive players including the QB, as well as 8 on defense, and I expect that experience will lead him to a close road win. Make the play on Miami,O.
