2022 Non-Conference Opponent Primer: Akron Zips
It’s another season of change in Akron, as Tom Arth’s local, down-home approach was pitched in favor of experienced X’s and O’s leadership in the form of Joe Moorhead, whose extensive college resume includes stops at Penn State, Mississippi State and Oregon.
It’s Moorhead’s second stop as a college head coach— and his second stint in Akron, where he was previously an assistant on the 2005 MAC title team— and he will inherit a roster which could use some tender love and care.
It hasn’t been a great time for the Zips since the departure of program legend Terry Bowden, who is now leading the resurgence at Louisiana-Monroe, as they have only mustered up three wins in the last three seasons.
