In the Akron Zips’ 35-13 victory over the Miami RedHawks Saturday, a lot of things were on display in the MAC East match-up. What were they? Let’s dig in and see what happened...
1. Akron’s defense shined against an over-matched Miami offense. The Zips made a lot of plays against an offense that looked like it was manned by a true freshman as the RedHawks were held to 1/12 on third downs, 1/3 on touchdowns in the red zone, six punts, and three turnovers on the afternoon. Ulysses Grant was a grown man on defense with a game-high nine tackles as the ‘Hawks could only muster 260 yards on offense.
