Saturday was not Akron's day.
Nobody expected the Zips to contend for the upset, but Akron finished Saturday as the only FBS team to take the field and fail to score in the 2017 season (BYU was shut out by LSU, but won its opener 20-6).
Penn State, looking to defend its Big Ten title, was nothing short of spectacular in Happy Valley on Saturday morning. The Nittany Lions led 35-0 at halftime and kept their foot on the pedal until the clock struck 0:00. But what about Akron? What did we learn from a team that failed to prove much in a lopsided game?
