Here is what I learned about the Akron Zips after watching game two of the 2019 season:
1. Akron’s players are tough and resilient:
Akron’s players have continued to battle through adversity to do the best they can to win games. Junior and senior defensive players are on their third coordinator in three years and the Zips started the first six-plus quarters of the 2019 season on the losing end of a 73-9 score. Yet in the second half of the game against UAB, with the score of 31-6, Akron continued to battle to make the score 31-20 by the end of the game.
