The UC Bearcats return home to Nippert Stadium on Saturday, to play an in-state opponent from the MAC in Akron. The Zips 0-2 on the season after falling to Ohio State and Temple by scores of 42-0 and 41-3. The Bearcats are looking to avenge a 45-23 thumping handed to them last week by the Tennessee Volunteers.
Don't Take Akron Lightly
The Zips have been known to give the Bearcats quite a fit when these two teams meet. In 2006, the Zips and 'Cats met at Nippert and UC walked away with only a six point victory 20-14. In 2008, every UC fan held their breathe when the Bearcats escaped by the skin of their teeth in the Rubber Bowl 17-15. However, the Zips should not create any sort of threat this week.
Turnovers
The Bearcats continue to show they not only worked on creating and limiting their turnovers but have forced a total of 6 turnovers via fumble or interception through the first two games of the season. UC on the other hand, yet to turn the football over. Isaiah Pead has done well to lock the ball high and tight and Zach Collaros has eliminated trying to make a play when nothing is there. Prediction: Bearcats come home after a dissapointing loss in Tennessee and route Akron 53-10
