The Bowling Green Falcons (1-3) and Akron Zips (1-3) meet up to start the conference season after a tough non-conference slate which put both teams in the hole early.
Both these squads come into this game looking to start off on the right foot and prove their programs are going in a good direction, as this will be the likeliest chance either of these teams will have at a victory this season.
Akron and BGSU are at different points in their respective builds. The Zips are in a Year 0 situation under Joe Moorhead’s stewardship, looking to put down the building blocks towards a better future, while the Falcons are in their fourth season under Scot Loeffler, with 2022 expected to be a show-me year with most of the roster being brough in by the current staff.
