Mid-week MACtion is almost back.
This Thursday, the Akron Zips (5-3), look to stay atop of the MAC East against the slumping Buffalo Bulls (1-6). The intra-division foes are polarized into opposite sides of the standings. Terry Bowden’s Zips are 3-1 in conference play, while the Bulls continue charging toward their first MAC win.
The Zips breathed a sigh of relief in Muncie, Indiana last Saturday, when quarterback Thomas Woodson returned under center. The redshirt junior guided Akron to a 35-25 victory over Ball State, headlined by a stellar passing performance—338 yards and two scores. Injury kept Woodson sidelined for Akron’s previous three games, but the offensive definitely returned to form the minute he entered the gridiron.
