Expecting to bounce back after a particularly rough season, The University of Akron’s football team anxiously awaits the upcoming season.
Head coach Terry Bowden is getting especially excited. “I’m more excited this year than ever before,” Bowden said.
Senior, AJ Coney said, “I believe the Zips are fully capable of shocking the world,” referring to the Sept. 9 game against the historically good Penn State. If seniors Coney, wide receiver, and Warren Ball, running back, are any indications, the players are excited as well.
Coney played in all 12 games with three starts last fall. In 2015, he had 15 receptions for 173 yards and a touchdown during the 2015 season and also saw action on the kickoff return unit.
