Ohio returns to Peden Stadium Saturday afternoon to host Akron. The Bobcats (3-6 Overall, 3-2 MAC) are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 38-20 loss at Miami. The Zips (2-7, 1-4), meanwhile, are coming off perhaps the biggest win in school history as they defeated 25th-ranked Marshall 34-20 last week. Akron enters the contest having won three straight over Ohio.

The Bobcats will be facing a what has been a very porous defense. The Zips are allowing opponents 431.4 yards and and 36.9 points (2nd worst in MAC) per game. With 787 yards rushing and three games remaining, Chad Brinker is looking to become OU's first 1,000-yard rusher since Steveland Hookfin in 1998. QB Fred Ray has started to revive the Ohio passing attack. He was 11-for-19 for 138 yards and two touchdowns last week. Prior to the Kent St. game where Ohio didn't have to pass, Ray was 7-for-9 with 130 yards and two touchdowns against Eastern Michigan. Most importantly, Ohio QB's haven't thrown an interception in seven straight games.
