What to Know

Get ready for a Mid-American battle as the Miami (OH) RedHawks and the Akron Zips will face off at 7:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Fred C. Yager Stadium. Miami (OH) is cruising in on a four-game winning streak while Akron is stumbling in off of ten consecutive losses.

Miami (OH) entered their game last Wednesday as the heavy favorite, and they fully lived up to expectations. They took their contest with ease, bagging a 44-3 win over the Bowling Green Falcons. RB Jaylon Bester was the offensive standout of the matchup for the RedHawks, as he rushed for 85 yards and two TDs on nine carries. One of the most memorable plays of the contest was Bester's 59-yard touchdown rush in the second quarter.

Meanwhile, a victory for Akron just wasn't in the stars as the team never even grasped a temporary lead. They suffered a grim 42-14 defeat to the Eastern Michigan Eagles. No one had a big game offensively for Akron, but they got scores from WR Timothy Scippio and WR Julian Hicks. One of the most thrilling moments of the game was Scippio's 87-yard TD reception in the third quarter.

Miami (OH)'s victory lifted them to 6-4 while Akron's loss dropped them down to 0-10. Two offensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The RedHawks are 10th worst in the nation in yards per game, with only 307.5 on average. The Zips have experienced some offensive struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the game with the fewest overall touchdowns in the nation, having accrued only 13 on the season. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
