Latest Preview (Week Recent)

Jordan Gant reaches 1,000-yard milestone

Running back Jordan Gant rushed for 86 yards to finish the season with 1,032 yards, crossing the 1,000-yard threshold and establishing himself as a reliable offensive weapon. He was the 13th-leading rusher in FBS entering this game and sealed the victory with an 18-yard carry in the final moments.

Kicking game proves reliable in close contests

Matthew Schramm converted all four field goal attempts, including a career-long 48-yarder, providing consistent scoring in a low-scoring affair. This reliable kicking game could be crucial in future close games, especially given Akron's tendency to play in tight contests.

Passing game shows big-play potential but inconsistency

QB Ben Finley completed only 9-of-26 passes but delivered a crucial 75-yard touchdown strike to Israel Polk when needed most. The low completion percentage (34.6%) indicates ongoing passing game struggles, but the ability to connect on game-changing plays provides hope.

Defense creates game-winning turnover

Bruno Dall's interception with one minute remaining sealed the victory after Bowling Green had driven to the Akron 42-yard line. This clutch defensive play in crunch time shows the team's ability to make critical stops when the game is on the line.

Season ends with fourth consecutive losing record

Despite the victory, Akron finished 5-7 overall and 4-4 in MAC play, marking head coach Joe Moorhead's fourth straight losing season. The team showed improvement in conference play but still struggles with overall consistency and finishing above .500.
