The Akron Zips got absolutely shellacked by the Iowa St. Cyclones, 41-14. Akron managed to show some fight, but were unable to match the Cyclones’ talent. Iowa State dominated the Zips on both sides of the ball. Fortunately for the Zips, we can learn a lot from this loss.
The Akron offense took too long to start playing well.
Unfortunately for the Zips, it took until the second quarter to start moving the ball. The first quarter was spent figuring out the Iowa State defense. For the Zips to remain competitive in the Mid-American Conference, they need to be able to come out hot.
