2018 Week 3 MAC Preview: Akron Zips @ Northwestern Wildcats
With Nebraska and Morgan State as Akron’s Week 1 and 2 opponents, the Zips escaped unscathed and undefeated. But the first of those two games experienced a cancellation due to an extended lightning delay.
Heading into a tough game against Northwestern, the Zips’ only on-field exposure this year came against an FCS program, with a lopsided 41-7 result. Akron (1-0) missed out on the opportunity to play Scott Frost and Nebraska at Memorial Stadium, but the Zips will have another chance at upsetting a Big Ten foe on the road.
