Previewing the 2018 Akron Zips

Prior to each game, I dust off and revise the preseason preview of each opponent. That’s a little difficult for the first game since we only have some reports of preseason practices to work with. But there is one noteworthy update to mention.

In July, sophomore wide receiver Jonah Morris (6’4” 200 lbs.) transferred to Akron. A former four-star recruit who’s immediately eligible, Morris claimed a starting spot in the preseason. At Indiana, Morris played in 10 games, mostly special teams but also some defensive back.

So for those of you missed it the first time, here’s the preseason preview of the Akron Zips.

Nebraska’s reconstruction process officially begins Labor Day weekend, with the Akron Zips being Scott Frost’s first opponent. Last season, the Zips finished the season with a 7-7 record. A 37-34 upset of Frank Solich’s Ohio Bobcats sprung Akron into the MAC Championship game and a December to forget. Akron was outscored 95-31 in the final two games, capped by a 50-3 loss to Lane Kiffin and Florida Atlanta in the Boca Raton Bowl.
