Ohio State wraps up their non-conference schedule on Saturday night when they host the Akron Zips. The Buckeyes are heavy favorites ahead of their ninth all-time meeting with the Zips. Ohio State carries a 7-1 record against Akron into this game, with the lone win by the Zips coming all the way back in 1894. The last time these teams met came back in 2011 when the Buckeyes shutout Akron 42-0.
