Football: The Akron football team returns to the gridiron on Saturday, as they travel to Huntington, West Virginia to play the Marshall Thundering Herd at 12 p.m.

Marshall comes in with a 1-0 record after they dominated Morgan State 62-0 last Saturday. The teams last met in 2014, where Marshall won 48-17 in Akron.

Marshall’s sophomore quarterback Chase Litton is the player to watch after he threw over 300 yards with six touchdowns and zero interceptions versus Morgan State.

Akron running back Warren Ball could possibly miss the game after leaving early in the second half of the Wisconsin game.
