The Akron Zips (1-1) will travel down from northeast Ohio to the beautiful mountains of Tennessee to take on the Volunteers (2-0) on Saturday afternoon, as they continue a season of growth under Joe Moorhead’s guidance.
It’s a game they won’t be expected to win, especially given the context of their recent performances, but in every game, there are lessons to be found and small progressions to be charted, and Tennessee will prove to be the toughest challenge of the year. Can the Zips cover the spread and show some flashes of potential?
They play the games for a reason, after all.
