The Zips have won the last three games played between the two teams.
Akron Zips
The Akron Zips have not had a good season and they come into this game really struggling having lost three games in a row.
The Zips have had some struggles on the offensive side of the ball. They have scored 17 points or under in each of the last three games against Buffalo they could only put six points on the board.
The Zips are led at quarterback by Kato Nelson who has thrown for 960 yards, seven touchdowns and six interceptions.
He isn’t making enough big plays for the team, and that has led to the Zips offense not getting off to the start they have hoped for.

They are facing a bad defense in this game so the offense needs to get out to a flying start. If they score under 25 points in this game that would be a huge disappointment.
Kent State Golden Flashes
On the other side of this matchup is the Kent State Golden Flashes who won their first game of the year, but since that point they have lost five straight games.

To win this game the defense needs to be strong early on in this game. They can’t let this game get into a shootout, or they will lose and lose by a lot.
