It’s the moment we’ve waited an entire season for. The stadium lights turn on, the national TV crews trucks roll into town, and the sportsbook activity in Vegas skyrockets. The annual November tradition of Midweek MACtion is finally upon us.
Last season, the Akron Zips officially kicked off the midweek slate with a bang. Akron elected to launch the MAC’s abbreviated 2020 season with an onside kick, which although recovered, was called back due to penalty. The Zips may have an opportunity to replicate the viral moment Tuesday as the Ball State Cardinals roll into town.
Akron (2-6, 1-3 MAC) is on the verge of missing bowl season for the fourth consecutive year.
