There isn’t much that’s more fun for a Group of Five team fan than invading in-state Power Five enemy territory, and Zips fans will have the chance to do just that three years from now.
The Akron Zips will travel to Columbus to take on the in-state powerhouse Ohio State Buckeyes in a football contest tentaitively scheduled for 2021, per press release.
The game is set to take place on Sept. 25, 2021 at Ohio Stadium.
Akron is 1-7 all-time against Ohio State, going 0-3 since the Zips moved up to the FBS level in 1997.
