2019 Akron Zips football positional previews: quarterback
Photo by Duane Burleson/Getty ImagesThe Akron Zips had a serviceable season in 2018 when healthy, starting the season 2-1, including a massive upset over a ranked, defending Big Ten champion Northwestern squad, which was the first time in 124 years the program had beaten a Big Ten football team.
It had the potential to be a better record too, as the Zips had a previously scheduled game vs. Nebraska, who finished 4-8 in Scott Frost’s first season as head coach, cancelled due to weather (to much acrimony) two weeks before the upset in Evanston, Illinois.
