Saturday night, The University of Akron Football team defeated Bowling Green, 34-23 in Bowling Green, Ohio.
Head coach Terry Bowden said he was happy for his team who finally beat the Falcons after the past eight years. This marked the Zips’ first victory against the Falcons since 2006, and UA’s first conference win of the season.
The start of the game was tragic at first for the Zips, as RB Warren Ball broke his ankle and will be out for the remainder of the season. However, backup Van Edward Jr. took advantage, as he carried the ball 14 times for 70 yards, and a touchdown.
