The University of Akron football team looks to rebound from its 41-0 loss against Western Michigan last game when it plays the Ball State Cardinals on Saturday.
Both teams enter the game with a 4-3 record, but the Zips have the advantage in conference record (2-1) over Ball State (1-2). The Cardinals only conference win was last Saturday, a 31-21 win over Buffalo.
The Zips are trying to get over an injury bug that has plagued many of their offensive skill players this season. Quarterback Thomas Woodson and running back Warren Ball haven’t played in any of the team’s conference games, and it will be a bonus if they can suit up on Saturday.
