After a lackluster showing vs. EKU, Kentucky has a chance to finish the first phase of the season strong before starting SEC play next week. Akron, coached by former Mississippi State head man Joe Moorhead, comes to town Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. EST kick on ESPNU. The Zips are considered one of the worst teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision, coming in at No. 128 and No. 130 in The Athletic and CBS Sports‘ rankings. They’re 1-1 this season, losing to Temple 24-21 in Week 1 and beating Morgan State by the same score last week.
