Yes, the loss to Akron was a big one, no question. There’s been a lot of talk around here already after the Akron loss about how the MACC didn’t happen again this season, but Ohio is still alive in the MAC race and it’s not over yet. Akron “could” lose to Kent State and Ohio “should” beat Buffalo. That would send the Bobcats to Detroit. Kent State has shown some improvement in recent week and has nothing to lose and you know they would love to ruin Akron’s season. And let’s face it, the Zips have no real history of how they handle success because they aren’t really in the role to begin with. Akron knows the importance of this game and will feel the pressure while Kent State won’t have any of that. No one thought Akron would be Ohio last week just like no one expects Kent State to beat Akron this week. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Akron fall flat on its face Tuesday night and see Kent State sneak away with the victory.
Good call. I can really see Kent's improvement. Ohio's season ended last week. All that's left now is our two season-finishing toilet bowls @ Buffalo and TBA.
