A week after defeating the Morgan State Bears 62-0, Marshall looks to start their first winning streak of the season versus the Akron Zips.
The Zips come to the Joan C. Edwards Stadium with a 1-1 record after a 54-10 loss to Wisconsin last week. This will be the 13th time that Marshall and Akron have met, with Marshall leading the series 8-4.
The last time these two teams met was 2014, with Marshall coming away with a 31-point victory. The Zips are coming off a successful 2015 campaign that saw them win a bowl game and compete for the MAC championship.
