Rivalry week in college football is here and we get things started with a Tuesday night matchup between the Ohio Bobcats and the Akron Zips.
Last season Ohio beat Akron 49-28 and will now be looking for their second consecutive win over the Zips.
Ohio Bobcats
The Bobcats have no doubt had a disappointing season. They do however have something to play for in this game and that is bowl eligibility. They beat Bowling Green last week 66-24 to earn their fifth win and can now get their sixth win with a win over what is possibly the worst team in college football.
Ohio’s offense was on fire last week as they put up 609 yards of total offense in the rout of the Falcons. Leading the way was their rushing attack, that went for 342 yards on 40 carries. O’Shaan Allison was the leading rusher for the Bobcats and he picked up 175 yards on 12 carries while adding three touchdowns.
It makes sense that Ohio had the most success on the ground because that has been their biggest strength this season. They are averaging 213.4 yards per game on the ground, which ranks 27th in the country.
Quarterback, Nathan Rourke also had a very solid game against the Falcons, going 14 of 21 for 267 yards and three touchdowns. However, the passing on the season has been below average, ranking 80th in the country.

The Ohio defense has not exactly shut down teams this season. They are below average in all the important categories including total yards allowed, passing yards allowed, rushing yards allowed and points allowed.
They just allowed 24 points to a very bad Bowling Green team and found themselves losing early in this game. The defense did settle down, but they still allowed over 400 yards. Now playing an even worse team, the Bobcats should have no trouble holding Akron to very minimal production.
Akron Zips
The Zips are still win-less after a 20-17 loss to Miami (Ohio) last week. However, they did something they had not done all year and that is cover a spread. Now playing one of their rivals, they will be looking for their first win and will also be looking to knock Ohio out of the bowl season.
Even though Akron kept their last game close, their offense still struggled to move the ball. They had just 10 points of offense, with the other touchdown being a pick six. This is not going to win them this game, so the Zips are going to need points in bunches.
Their passing offense is their only glimmer of hope, but it still ranks just 88th in the country.

Defensively, the Zips probably played their best game of the season. Before last week, they had not allowed less than 21 points in a game. The main problem is they are allowing 210.1 rushing yards per game, which ranks 117th in the country.
If the Zips are going to stay in this game, they cannot allow the Bobcats to establish the run.

The Bobcats put up 66 points on Bowling Green last week like it was nothing and I think they are going to run up the score in this game as well. I like the over in this game and I would not be surprised if Ohio covers the over by themselves.
