What to expect in the Ohio State vs. Akron game?

This is the first game for a new-looking Buckeyes team. After being the second-best team in the Big Ten for the last few years, the Buckeyes are poised to make a strong push to win the Big Ten Conference and possibly the National Championship.

Last year's star quarterback, Kyle McCord, has transferred to Syracuse and has been replaced by former Kansas State Wildcat, Will Howard, who leads a very skilled quarterback room. Additionally, the running game has been improved with the arrival of Quinshon Judkins for the Ole Miss Rebels. This, paired with wide receiver Emeka Egbuka, means that the Buckeyes offense is something to be feared.

As for Akron, they will hope to stay in the game for as long as they practically can. The Buckeyes are 50-point favorites, so even scoring a touchdown may be seen as a small victory for the Zips.

They have a new starting quarterback in Ben Finley, who will want to provide some form of stability to a team that has struggled in recent years.
