Blue defeats White in Akron Spring Game, 20-17

Football made a brief appearance at The University of Akron’s InfoCision Stadium – Summa Field this past Saturday where the football team held their annual spring game.

The Blue Squad, led by offensive coordinator A.J. Milwee, jumped out to an early lead and then had to come back to secure a 20-17 win over the White Squad.

Milwee’s team opened up the scoring with eight minutes left in the opening quarter on a Tom O’Leary 32-yard field goal and a 3-0 advantage.

The White Squad, coached by Chuck Amato and the rest of the defensive coaches, wasted no time in answering the field goal as Tra’Von Chapman took just 44 seconds to drive his team down the field.
