Zips look to continue conference success in Buffalo
The University of Akron football team will travel to Buffalo on Thursday to play the Bulls in a huge MAC game. Coming off a 35-25 win over Ball State last Saturday, the Zips will only get five days of rest before Thursday’s game.
Akron enters the game with a 5-3 record, and it needs just one more win to be bowl eligible for the second straight year. The Zips also have a 3-1 conference record, which is tied with Ohio University for the best in the MAC’s Eastern Division. The Bulls have struggled this season, taking a 1-6 record overall and 0-3 conference record into their battle with the Zips.
