2020 Mid-American Conference Football Season Preview: Akron Zips

A winless campaign has to test the strongest people and best plans.

For coaches and players who put in all the work and sacrifice to play the game, it has to be unimaginably tough not to walk off the field victorious even one time. But that’s what the Zips did in 2019, finishing with an 0-12 record.
