After falling to the RedHawks, the Zips look onto their next game against Ohio as they compete for the MAC East title.
In their final Mid-American Conference road game of the season in Oxford Ohio, the Akron Zips suffered a setback against the Miami RedHawks Tuesday night, losing 24-14. Akron’s MAC record fell to 4-2 after the loss, giving the Ohio Bobcats a chance to secure a lead in the MAC East Division, depending on their result against the Toledo Rockets Wednesday night.
The Zips redshirt freshman Quarterback Kato Nelson made his first start of the season following the announcement that starter QB Thomas Woodson would not play due to a violation of team rules.
