The Akron Zips head into the 2020 season on a 17-game losing streak. Akron’s last victory was a 17-10 win over Central Michigan on October 27, 2018, in a season which ultimately was lost to the ether.
Every MAC East team has weathered a terrible stretch. With exception of Bowling Green, every other MAC East squad has had to bounce back from at least one winless season at some point in its MAC history. And for Bowling Green, its 12-36 record in the last four years is one of the worst stretches in its otherwise proud history.
And its here where the Akron Zips find themselves entering 2020: looking for a way to end a brutal streak.
