The Akron Zips are all set to host the Kent State Golden Flashes in a vital clash for both sides. The Zips are in somewhat better position than the Golden Flashes thanks to their 4-6 record. They enter this game on the back of two successive wins over UMass (44-10) and Buffalo Bulls (24-16), and a victory against Kent State will help them take a step towards ensuring their eligibility for the bowl.
Kent State have played nine matches so far and won just three. In October, they won twice against Bowling Green and UMass, but lost out to 11th-ranked Oklahoma and Toledo. Their start to this month was underwhelming, as they lost 17-13 to Ball State. Heading into the Akron Zips game on the back of a loss, the Golden Flashes will be eager to produce their A-game and return to winning ways.
