Following a 25-minute lightning delay, Akron got on the board first with a 28-yard field goal by kicker Tom O’Leary. Troy, however, was able to take control to finish out the first half. After two rushing touchdowns and a field goal of their own, the Trojans went into halftime with a 16-3 advantage over the Zips.
