Akron (1-4, 0-1 MAC East) travels to Ohio (2-3, 0-1 MAC East) to see who will get back to even on the conference slate. Both squads are coming off a close loss in the conference opener, a game either could have won had they had a play or two gone differently.
Such is life in the MAC.
The Zips lost to Bowling Green 31-28 on the backs of a 3-1 deficit in the turnover battle. Kent State trailed most of the game but came back to beat Ohio in overtime in a game where Ohio might have won if they were able to convert one play or two more offensive plays in the fourth quarter.
