Veteran announcer Steve French is behind the microphone for his 22nd season as the radio play-by-play “Voice of the Zips” for football and men’s basketball, while long-time UA personality Joe Dunn will provide sideline color commentary and analysis. When not broadcasting Akron games, French serves as sports director at WNIR 100 FM “The Talk of Akron” and is part of the station’s highly rated morning drive program. Dunn, a former staff member of the Akron Athletics Department, is also an expert on the Ohio prep sports scene, he is the host of High School Playbook, which airs each week on SportsRadio 1350 AM (WARF), and with Big Time Sports on television. During Zips football broadcasts, Dunn fills the role of sideline reporter.

THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE THIS IS THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 65th year of service to the student-athlete.

In 1946 men’s basketball was the first competitive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980. For men, championships (11) are sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, golf and tennis. For women, championships (12) are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis.

From two-time Super Bowl quarterback winning Ben Roethlisberger (Miami University), NFL Defensive MVP James Harrison (Kent State University), three NFL Pro Bowlers (Cleveland KR Josh Cribbs, San Diego TE Antonio Gates, Pittsburgh LB James Harrison), British Open winner Ben Curtis (Kent State University), World Series winning manager Bob Brenly (Ohio University) and Olympic bobsled team member Brock Kreitzburgh (University of Toledo), the Mid-American Conference continues to excel in producing leaders in the world of athletics. In Super Bowl XLV between Green Bay and Pittsburgh there were 15 former MAC studentathletes on rosters competing in the Super Bowl, including nine with the Packers and six with the Steelers, and six former MAC players were named to the 2011 NFL Pro Bowl.

RECORDS

In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC is in the third year of its eightyear rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic years) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the 65-year history of the conference. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games.

2010 REVIEW

For the first time in its 65-year history, the MAC will have eight bowl relationships--three primary and five secondary. The three primary agreements are with the Little Caesar’s Pizza Bowl (Detroit, Mich.), GoDaddy. com Bowl (Mobile, Ala.) and uDrove Humanitarian Bowl (Boise, Ida.). In addition, the MAC has secured secondary agreements with the BBVA Compass Bowl (2011-2013), the New Mexico Bowl (2011-2013), the Beef O’Brady’s St. Petersburg Bowl (2011-13), the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (2011) and the TicketCity Bowl (2012).

Based in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has established historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since moving to Northeast Ohio. The MAC was founded as a five-school league on February 24, 1946 in Columbus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admitted as charter members. The Mid-American Conference has 12 full-time schools and a 13th, Temple, and 14th, UMass for football only (beginning in 2012). Comprising the East Division is the University of Akron (joined in 1992), Bowling Green State University (1952), University at Buffalo (1998), Kent State University (1951), Miami University (1947), Ohio University (1946) and Temple University (2007). The West Division members are Ball State University (1973), Central Michigan University (1971), Eastern Michigan University (1971), Northern Illinois University (1975-86, 1997), University of Toledo (1950) and Western Michigan University (1947).

STAFF

In 2010, four MAC programs received bowl invitations and it marked the first time in conference history that the MAC had four or more teams receive bowl invitations in a three-year consecutive span. In addition, the MAC has sent four or more teams to bowl games in five of the last seven years. The four MAC programs that played in bowl games were: Miami (GoDaddy.com Bowl), Northern Illinois (uDrove Humanitarian Bowl), Toledo (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl) and Ohio (R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl). The MAC record for bowl appearances is five, which happened in consecutive years (2008, 2009) and only three times (2004, 2008, 2009) in conference history. The 2010 season also witnessed Miami win the 2010 Marathon MAC Championship and record the best turnaround in college football with an eight win improvement over the previous season (1-11 in 2009). Northern Illinois entered the Marathon MAC Football Championship ranked No. 23 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and No. 24 in the Associated Press Poll. Two more MAC teams defeated Big Ten opponents during the regular season as Northern Illinois defeated Minnesota, 34-23 in Minneapolis, while Toledo rolled to a 31-20 win at Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind.

HISTORY OF THE MAC

STUDENT-ATHLETES

The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Detroit’s Ford Field), volleyball (SPIRE Academy, Geneva, Ohio), men’s and women’s basketball (Cleveland’s Quicken Loans Arena), softball (Akron’s Firestone Stadium) and baseball (Avon, Ohio All Pro Freight Stadium).

AKRON FOOTBALL

Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and developed into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only 11 football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in the 65-year history of the league in March of 2009. Steinbrecher came to the MAC after serving six years as the commissioner of the Ohio Valley Conference.

game to boot. After retiring from coaching, Heisman served as the New York City Downtown Athletic Club’s first athletic director, starting in 1930. The club awarded its first trophy to the nation’s top college football player in 1935 and renamed the trophy in memory of Heisman when he died a year later at age 66.

Squirted it to him was more like it.

Story reprinted with permission from Akron Magazine

At that point in football history, 1893, the center transferred the ball to the quarterback by putting one hand over the front of the ball and pressing down on the back with his other hand. When he released the front hand, the ball would flip up and back in the general direction of the backfield.

THE WAGON WHEEL

Buchtel eventually found his way back to Akron, where he settled on a site for Buchtel College, the forerunner of the present University of Akron.

Clark saved his back, and Buchtel cut down on its fumbles. No one objected, and by the end of the season all colleges were using the new center snap.

During construction of a pipeline along the Western Reserve Trail in 1902, the wheel was discovered and eventually became the property of Dr. Raymond Manchester, who in 1945 as the Kent State Dean of Men, suggested the wheel be set up as an award to the winner of the annual Akron-Kent State football game.

So how did Heisman end up in Akron? After the 1892 season, the students again besieged the Reverend Orello Cone, Buchtel’s president since 1880, pleading with him to convince the Board of Trustees to hire someone to coach the college’s club teams. Cone pushed the measure through.

In 1946, Kent defeated the Zips, 13-6, to capture the Wagon Wheel Trophy. After a Kent win in 1954, the series between the two schools went into hibernation. Not until Sept. 9, 1972, was the series revived. In that game, played at the Rubber Bowl, 25,131 saw UA grab a 13-0 lead, but KSU battled back to score 13 fourth-quarter points, and the contest ended in a tie. Akron was then awarded custodial rights for a two-year period for its first possession of the prized trophy since its inception.

Alas, John W. Heisman’s association with Buchtel wasn’t a long or especially satisfying one for him — the faculty and trustees got together and legislated his job out of existence. But it did have its moments. In 1894, when he technically wasn’t even working for the college, Heisman engineered a 12-6 win over Ohio State. He played quarterback in the

RECORDS

Through the 2010 game, Kent State leads the series 20–19–1 in Wagon Wheel games. Dating to 1923, Akron leads the all-time series on the gridiron, 30-21-2.

2010 REVIEW

The students’ first choice was Heisman, and they moved quickly to get him. The young coach was invited to campus in January, and after inspecting the facilities he spelled out the terms under which he would render his services. At a meeting of the trustees’ executive committee on January 28, 1893, the committee agreed to extend Heisman a oneyear contract as “gymnasium director” and “special teacher of gymnastics in baseball and football.” The board not only agreed to pay Heisman $900, but to build a long-sought baseball cage – provided the students raised $300 toward Heisman’s salary and paid off the remaining salary of the previous gym director. The weekly student newspaper, The Buchtelite, ran the headline “HEISMAN! HEISMAN! Rah! Rah! Rah!”

Manchester had the wheel painted blue and gold, the school colors of both schools, and it has been a prized trophy ever since. Each spoke bears a plaque verifying the score of each game.

Buchtel’s coach had a better idea. Why not have the center simply pitch the ball back through his legs? Shotgun-style, we’d call it today. It worked.

STUDENT-ATHLETES

It was an awkward maneuver, to say the least, and resulted in many fumbles.

According to legend, the “Wagon Wheel” came into being in the spring of 1870 when John R. Buchtel, an Akron industrialist, at the insistence of Rev. Andrew Willson of the Kent Universalist Church, set out for Kent in search of a site for a proposed college. However, his wagon became bogged down in the mud where Kent State University is currently located, the horses broke away and left bits and pieces of the carriage scattered, including one of the wheels, which remained wedged in the mud.

AKRON FOOTBALL

The story goes that Buchtel College’s quarterback, 6-foot-4 inch Harry Clark, had trouble bending low enough to pick up the football when the center snapped it to him.

AKRON FOOTBALL

UA MAKES 1ST DIVISION I-A JUMP In 1987 the stage was set. It had been 20 months since Dec. 18, 1985 when, amid a crush of national media interest, Gerry Faust was introduced as Akron’s new head football coach. The University of Akron was anxious to make the move to I-A football from I-AA. The Zips would become the first team since the NCAA created I-AA in 1978 to move up to the I-A level. The transition, however, was not an easy one. The great debate was, should Akron, coming off an I-AA playoff season, leave the Ohio Valley Conference for the greener pastures of I-A? With a bid to join the Mid-American Conference having already been rejected, Akron would have to compete as an independent in all sports — without a conference to call home. On the upside, Akron was feeling growing pains and had already tasted success at the next level with wins over such I-A schools as Kent State and Eastern Michigan. Still, much work had to be done before the NCAA would consider the Zips’ application. Akron had to meet several criteria expected of all Division I-A schools. The Zips already met the criteria of having a stadium which seated 30,000 and sponsoring at least eight men’s sports and seven women’s sports. Where UA was lacking was in the attendance department. Division I-A school were required to average 17,000 paid attendance per game in a season or 20,000 once every four years. With a late-season ticket drive in 1985, the Zips boosted their per game average to 18,137. Next, Akron had to revamp its schedule so that at least 60 percent of its opponents were I-A schools. With new coach Gerry Faust on board, the Zips scheduled games against Western Michigan, Kent State, Eastern Michigan, Temple, Oregon State, Louisville and Northern Illinois for the fall of 1987. The Zips also realized that the move up would come at a price. The athletics department saw its budget increase from $1.5 million in 1982-83, to $4.26 million for the 1987-88 school year. On June 23, 1987, Akron’s application was approved on a three-year basis. Zips football competed as an independent until joining the MAC in 1992. The Zips claimed their first win over a BCS school on Sept. 9, 2006, winning at North Carolina State, 20-17, with a one-yard Dennis Kennedy plunge as time expired.

Gerry Faust (right) helped to take the Akron football program to the next level, coaching the school’s first-ever NCAA I-A team to a 4-7 record in 1987.

WHERE DOES “ZIPS” COME FROM? One of the unique nicknames in all of intercollegiate athletics belongs to the University of Akron. Originally Zippers, athletics director Kenneth “Red” Cochrane officially shortened the nickname to the Zips in 1950. Twenty-five years earlier a campus-wide contest had been conducted to choose a nickname for the University’s athletics teams.

Suggestions submitted by students, faculty and alumni included Golden Blue Devils, Tip Toppers, Rubbernecks, Hillbillies, Kangaroos and Cheveliers. After a three-way vote — one by the student body, oe by the University lettermen and one by the local sports writers and faculty representatives — the winner was decided on January 15, 1926. The winner, freshman Margaret Hamlin, suggested “Zippers” the name of a very popular rubber overshoe (over 500,000 sold the first year) invented by Akron’s B.F. Goodrich Company. She received a prize of $10 for the winning suggestion, which was inspired by the $6 pair of rubber shoes, the “Zipper Boot.” Permission to use the name was granted by the Goodrich Company. Goodrich introduced its rubber galoshes in 1923 and it made a lasting impression on the world. The footwear featured an ingenious invention, a slide fastener with interlocking metal teeth. With a quick pull of a tab, the overshoes opened wide or sealed shut. The product’s original suggested name was the “Mystik Boot,” but the name just did not work for Goodrich President Bertram G. Work. ‘’What we need is an action word,’’ he told a group of sales representatives. ‘’Something that will dramatize the way the thing zips.’’ From that he said, “Why not call it the Zipper?’’

THE EVOLUTION OF ZIPPY The evolution of Zippy, The University of Akron’s mascot, began 54 years ago when the student council, under president Dave Frye and committee for a mascot chairman Bob Savoy (an All-American diver for UA), decided the University needed a mascot. “Zippy” the kangaroo was officially declared UA’s mascot on May 1, 1953. The selection of the kangaroo for a mascot brought forth the wrath of The Buchtelite and the Akron Beacon Journal as the name was chosen without the benefit of a campus-wide vote. There was support for the new mascot with defenders saying, “the kangaroo is fast, agile and powerful with undying determination — all the necessary qualities of an athlete.” It is difficult to imagine there was dissent back then seeing as how Zippy is one of, if not the, most beloved symbols of the University. In fact, during an 11 week long national contest, Zippy was defeated all challengers. Zippy, after a first-round bye in the playoffs, cruised to victories over Syracuse’s Otto in the semifinals and Minnesota’s Goldy Golpher in the final to become the 2007 Capital One Mascot of the Year. Dick Hansford, UA student council advisor, liked the kangaroo — one of the finalist names when Akron chose “Zippers” as its nickname. He recalled the suggestion was also inspired by a popular comic strip at the time called “Kicky, the fighting kangaroo. No one recalls who made the arrangements for the first costume, but a paper-mache head was produced along with a brown furry uniform that zipped up the back. Pete Demming debuted that first mascot uniform 1954, at the inaugural Acme-Zip Game - not as “Zippy” but as “Mr. Zip.” The first known printed reference to the mascot as “Zippy” was a 1965 Zip football press brochure. The Buchtelite’s first use of the name “Zippy” came Sept. 24, 1965, in an identification of a photo of the cheerleaders listing “Mascot - ‘Zippy’ - Charles Huettner.”

Gordon Larson’s Zips and Louisiana Tech met up for the College Division Mideast Region Championship in the 1968 Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn. It was the first bowl appearance for both teams. Tech jumped out to a quick 21-0 lead behind a 16-yard TD run and 36yard TD pass from Bradshaw. The Zips managed to get on the board with 1:50 left in the half on a 1-yard run from junior John Vargo. At 28, Vargo was the oldest running back in the country. The Zips cut the lead to 21-13, but two more Bradshaw scores sealed the Bulldog win.

AKRON HAS NCAA FIRST IN ‘76 BOWL The first overtime game in the history of the NCAA playoffs occurred at Akron’s Rubber Bowl when the Zips met Northern Michigan in the second round of the Division II playoffs, a game called the Knute Rockne Bowl. Northern Michigan scored first in overtime on a 39-yard field goal, but Akron answered with a one-yar touchdown b y quarterback Marty Bezbatchenko to win 29-26.

AKRON’S FIRST I-A BOWL After winning its first Mid-American Conference Championship, a dramatic 31-30 win over Northern Illinois on Dec. 1, 2005, the University of Akron earned a berth to its first bowl as an NCAA Division I-A member. The Zips, who won that MAC title game at Detroit’s Ford Field, returned to the venue 25 days later (Dec. 26) for the Motor City Bowl to face the Memphis Tigers, a team that featured one of the nation’s top running backs, DeAngelo Williams. Akron with record-setting quarterback Luke Getsy and record-setting receiver Domenik Hixon, got on the board early, but trialed 20-3 late in the third quarter. The Zips would score 28 points over the final 15 minutes, including two TDs in the last 1:46, but it was not enough in the 38-31 setback. Getsy set a Motor City Bowl record with 455 passing yards and Jabari Arthur set a bowl record with eight catches for 180 yards.

Larson was honored posthumously in Oct. 1, 2005. Not only did he lead the Zips to their first ever bowl game, he is the program’s all-time winningst coach in terms of percentage, going 74-33-5 (.683), and only had one losing season in his 12 years (1961-72) at the helm. Each of the inductees is honored with a plaque on the outside of the north endzone facility at InfoCision Stadium-Summa Field.

AKRON’S FIRST BOWL

2010 REVIEW

The Chris Angeloff Scholarship was established in memory of Chris Angeloff, a junior starting tight end, who collapsed and died of cardiac arrest during UA’s 20-8 victory over Marshall in the Acme-Zip Game on Sept. 6, 1975. His teammates voted to retire his jersey, the first such tribute paid to a UA football player. Angeloff, 20, was leaving the field on a possession exchange midway through the second period, got to the sidelines and collapsed. As many as seven doctors tried to revive him. A native of Erie, Pa., Angeloff had become a starter as a sophomore. An accounting major, he carried a 3.20 GPA. He was the son of Carl and Mary Angeloff. At the request of the family, income from the endowed fund is applied to athletic scholarships. Funds are derived from memorials contributed to Angeloff.

On Oct. 11, 2003 when the Zips hosted Cal Poly, The University of Akron held its inaugural induction of former players and teams into the Ring of Honor. Former head coach Jim Dennison, former player Chris Angeloff and two of the most successful squads in school history, the 1968 team and 1976 team squads, were honored. Since then, NFL great Jason Taylor (2004) and former head coach Gordon Larson (2005) have been inducted. Dennison, the all-time winningest coach (by victories with 80) in UA history, was in charge of the Zips from 1973 to 1985 and led them to the finals of the 1976 NCAA Division II playoffs where they fell to Montana State, 24-13, in the Pioneer Bowl. He was the 1976 Kodak National Coach of the Year, was the first coach to lead the Zips to a 10-win season and was 80-62-2 all-time at Akron. A standout player under Dennison, Angeloff died tragically from cardiac arrest during the Sept. 6, 1975 season opener versus Marshall. He was a two-time letterman at tight end and, as a sophomore, caught seven passes for 106 yards and two touchdowns. Angeloff’s number 89 was retired in his honor and his memory lives on with the Chris Angeloff Scholarship. The 1968 team, coached by Larson, played in Akron’s first-ever bowl game, the Grantland Rice Bowl. That squad, led by All-Americans Don Zwisler (QB) and Dan Ruff (WR), went 7-3-1 and eventually lost to a Terry Bradshaw-led Louisiana Tech squad, 33-13, in the bowl game. The 1976 team, coach by Dennison and featured first-team All-Americans Mark Van Horn and Steve Cockerham, went 10-3 and played for the NCAA Division II championship, where they fell to Montana State. In reaching that championship game, Akron defeated UNLV, 27-6, in the first round and Northern Michigan, 29-26, in the second game game, called the Knute Rockne Bowl. In 2004, Taylor was added to the Ring of Honor when the Zips hosted, and defeated in dramatic fashion, Marshall on Nov. 5 in an ESPN2 telecast. Taylor was a firstteam All-Mid-American Conference honoree for the Zips in 1996 before becoming a third-round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins in 1997. Taylor still holds the Akron records for sacks in a season with 10, sacks in a career (21) and TFL for a career (41). Taylor, a six-time Pro Bowl selection, was named the 2006 Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year and was named the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year for the 2007 season.

Opened in 1940, The University of Akron’s Rubber Bowl was the largest (tied) football stadium in the Mid-American Conference, and was the second largest collegiate stadium in the state of Ohio. With a final-year capacity at 31,000 in 2008, The Bowl is runnerup to Ohio State’s Ohio Stadium which packs in 101,568. As far as MAC stadiums go, the Rubber Bowl was tied with UB Stadium (Buffalo) as the largest in terms of seating capacity. The Zips’ horseshoe-shaped home was a gathering spot for Northeast Ohio football fans and event goers for 66 years. In 1999, UA football fan No. 3,000,000 passed through the Rubber Bowl turnstiles, marking six decades of Zips gridiron action at The Bowl. The site of 324 UA football contests, 19 preseason Cleveland Browns’ games, a regular-season NFL game in 1952, over 1,500 high school games (including dozens of OHSAA playoff games), as well as many soccer matches and scores of concerts and shows, the Rubber Bowl has stood the test of time. In 1940, the UA football team abandoned well-worn Buchtel Field to play at the municipally owned Rubber Bowl. The Bowl began to develop under the plans of B.E. “Shorty” Fulton in 1933. With the help of the Civil Works Authority, Fulton had 180,000 cubic yards of dirt carved out of the side of the hill neighboring Akron Municipal Airport. Fulton, the airport manager, turned the site into a recreation area. Then in 1939, civic-minded citizens, headed by C.W. Seiberling and James Schlemmer, sports editor of the Akron Beacon Journal, raised $30,000 to help construct the stadium on the site. The amount was raised by subscribing $1 from 30,000 Akronites. A federal grant of $516,000 was obtained and construction began. The stadium was dedicated before 37,000 people on August 10, 1940. Akron opened its playing history in the Rubber Bowl on Oct. 5, 1940, against Western Reserve, before 17,472 spectators. Although the Zips lost 6-0, the Rubber Bowl has since been an excellent home field, as evidenced by UA’s overall mark of 190-119-10 (61 percent). In June 1971, the University accepted the title to the Rubber Bowl, paying $1 for the facility, from the City of Akron and began a program of refurbishing the stadium. University trustees authorized $175,000 for improvements. First priority went to a lighting system which increased illumination of the field by more than five times. The most striking improvement took place in the summer of 1973. Spearheaded by a gift of $200,000 from Elza E. Hopkins and Clarkins Stores, and a community wide fund-raising drive directed by the Touchdown Club that provided more than $160,000, the University was able to install an all-weather artificial surface. Installation of AstroTurf got UA and area high school football teams “out of the mud.” That same year, the Cleveland Browns’ played their 19th (and last) preseason football game at The Bowl. The New York Giants defeated the Browns, 21-10, in front of 30,751 spectators. The Cleveland franchise had a 14-5 mark at The Bowl and attracted more than one-half million fans. In 1983, after 10 years, a new carpet was installed at a cost of more than $500,000. The funds to pay for the repairs and installation came from a UA bond issue. In 1991, more than $100,000 was contributed by the Coca Cola Bottling Company of Ohio, Summa Health Systems, National City Bank of Ohio and the Varsity “A” Association to purchase a new scoreboard. Prior to the start of the ‘94 season, the University Board of Trustees authorized funds of about $750,000 to fix the facilities’ drainage system and apply new artificial turf to the floor of the Zips’ football home. The stadium also got a complete paint job and the seats were refurbished.

A new AstroPlay surface was installed prior to the 2003 season. The final game in the Rubber Bowl was a classic. Akron and Buffalo, coMAC East leaders at the time, battled to four overtimes before the Bulls pulled out a 43-30 victory before a national ESPNU television audience. Dennis Kennedy ran for 142 yards with three touchdowns and caught five passes for 121 yards, while Chris Jacquemain passed for 295 yards and two scores. In the 324 Univesity of Akron football games played in the Rubber Bowl, the Zips posted a 191-123-10 record.

OTHER MEMORIES • The NFL Pays Visits: November 27, 1952 — A regular-season NFL game was played at the Rubber Bowl as legendary coach George Halas led his Chicago Bears in a game versus the Dallas Texans. The Texas upset the Bears, 27-23, in what was the only win in the franchise’s history. The Cleveland Browns also played 19 preseason games at the Rubber Bowl, going 14-5 in the facility. • Red Saves UA Football: 1953 — With the program floundering and near extinction, athletics director since 1948, Kenneth “Red” Cochrane took over the Zips’ program in 1952. The following year, Akron won six games, its most since 1938. • Actual Firsts for Turf: While Akron’s first game on artificial turf was Sept. 15, 1973, there were two events prior. St. Vincent-St. Mary and Garfield High School played the first game on the new surface on Sept. 7. The following day, the Browns hosted the Giants in an exhibition game. • Other Events: The Rubber Bowl has hosted car races and concerts, most notably the Rolling Stones and Jefferson Airplane.

a 24-13 win over Murray State. • MAC Champion Defeated: September 19, 1987 — The Zip defense keyed the victory over eventual Mid-American Conference Champions and California Bowl victor, Eastern Michigan, 17-16. With 1:58 to play the UA defense stopped EMU’s two-point conversion try and in the final play of the game, middle guard Pierce Joiner blocked a 52-yard field goal attempt. • The Most Points by Two Teams: November 24, 2001 — In the 2001 season finale, Akron and Eastern Michigan battled to a triple overtime thriller with the Zips claiming a 65-62 victory. The 127 points between the schools is the most scored by two teams in Rubber Bowl history and the most points scored in MAC history. Also, the 65 points set the new standard for most points in a game – a feat the Zips would tie on Sept. 20, 2003 in a 65-7 win over Howard. • The Marshall Win: November 2, 2002 — Known more for the visual of seeing Marshall’s linemen carrying Byron Leftwich down the field, Akron was the team that came out the victor as Charlie Frye threw for one TD and ran for another as the Zips upset No. 25 Marshall, 34-20. • The Marshall Win II: November 5, 2004 — In J.D. Brookhart’s first season, Jason Swiger hit a 34-yard field goal as time expired to give the Zips a 31-28 victory over the Thundering Herd. The Zips trailed 28-7 in the third quarter and scored 24 unanswered, including a TD with 48 seconds left and getting the on-side kick to set up the win. • The Snow Bowl: November 24, 2005 — Played in blizzard conditions, Akron crushed arch-rival Kent State, 35-3, to win the MAC East Championship and eventually the program’s first overall MAC title. • The Last Wagon Wheel Game in the Bowl: September 22, 2007 — Akron scored 17 fourth-quarter points to claim a 27-20 victory over Kent State in the last Wagon Wheel game played at the Rubber Bowl. Reggie Corner had a key interception to set up UA’s go-ahead touchdown and Davanzo Tate intercepted a pass in the endzone as time expired to preserve the win. • The Last Game in the Rubber Bowl: November 13, 2008 — An ESPNU telecast allows the nation to see the final game and see co-MAC East leaders Akron and Buffalo battle for supremacy. The Bulls pulled out a 43-40 four-overtime win.

AKRON FOOTBALL

where kicking specialist, Tom Budziszewski, booted a 38-yard field goal as time expired for a 10-7 victory. • 75th UA Win in the Bowl: October 17, 1972 — A shutout of Northern Michigan, 49-0. • UA’s Winningest Coach Gets First Win/Bowl Gets Artificial Turf: September 15, 1973, head coach Jim Dennison, who would go on to compile an 80-62-2 record, directed UA to his first collegiate win, 51-19, over Butler before 37,384 fans. That crowd was also thrilled earlier as they watched aerialist Karl Wallenda cross a 600 foot wire, 75 feet above the new artificial turf, which included a head stand in the middle. • UA’s Saddest Day: September 6, 1975 — In Akron’s 75th season of football, 20-year old junior starting tight end Chris Angeloff, collapsed and died of a cardiac arrest during its 20-8 victory over Marshall. Angeloff’s jersey number, 89, was retired, the first such tribute paid to a UA football player. • 100th UA Win in the Bowl: November 18, 1978 — Akron, led by freshman tailback Terry Cameron, who ran for a record-breaking five TDs, defeated Northern Iowa, 39-28. • Another Nail Biter: October 18, 1975 — Jim Dennison said, “This had to be the greatest victory for any team that I’ve been associated with.” With 1:28 left in this game with Temple, UA held a 17-16 lead and the Owls were facing a second-and-28-yard situation at their own eight yard line. However, two pass plays later – the last for a 56-yard TD – appeared to give Temple its win. Undaunted, the Zips started at their own 22 with 54 seconds remaining. Quarterback Tom Kot hit split end Glenn Evans with a 16-yard sideline pass and then one for 38. Two incomplete passes later, Kot found Evans open over the middle and he broke one tackle on his way to the tying score with 18 seconds left. Jim Embick added the extra point for the 24-23 win. • Highest Point As A NCAA II Member: On back-to-back weekends, UA captured it’s first NCAA playoff victory by downing Nevada-Las Vegas, 27-6, on November 27, 1976, and in the ABC nationally televised Knute Rockne Bowl, a very cold and windy December 4, the Zips defeated the defending national champions, Northern Michigan, 29-26, in the first overtime game in NCAA playoff history. A Hollywood script writer couldn’t have written it any better for, arguably, the most exciting game the Zips ever played in the Rubber Bowl. UA had to overcome four turnovers, stared defeat in the face and, with one second remaining, Jim Embick booted a 35-yard field goal to deadlock the contest, 23-all. In the overtime, after a Wildcat field goal, quarterback Marty Bezbatchenko sneaked one yard into the end zone on UA’s fourth play for Akron’s 10th win – the most ever in the school’s football history. Jim Dennison, due to UA’s accomplishments, became the only UA football coach to ever be voted Ohio Coach of the Year and National College Coach of the Year. • Rival Revival: September 6, 1979 — a blocked punt by defensive back Mark Padrutt that led to a 25-yard field goal by Andy Graham gave UA the margin it needed to defeat arch rival Kent State, 15-13, for the first time in 38 years. • OVC Highlight: November 5, 1983 — On the way to a second place finish in the Ohio Valley Conference and an excellent 8-4 season, UA rolled over long-time rival and a fellow OVC member, 49-21, behind the running of record-breaking senior tailback James Black. Black, who was later voted the OVC Offensive Player of the Year, broke a 17-year old rushing mark with 246 yards on 40 carries. • The Faust Era Begins: September 6, 1986 — Head Coach Gerry Faust, in his first game with UA, directed the Zips to a 35-0 victory over Salem. On October 16, 1986, the Zips make first appearance on ESPN,

AKRON, Ohio - The University of Akron football team suffered a 38-37 defeat to Gardner-Webb in overtime Saturday at InfoCision Stadium-Summa Field despite 229 combined rushing yards from Alex Allen and Nate Burney.

Chandler Jones blocked Igor Iveljic’s attempt at the Syracuse 39, allowing Holmes to pick it up at the 43 and go untouched, making it 23-3 in the third quarter.

Allen, who rushed for 110 yards on 20 carries, found the end zone three times while Burney broke off 119 yards on 17 carries in the losing effort. With the setback, UA fell to 0-2 on the season.

Ryan Nassib added two touchdowns and 229 yards on 17-for-27 passing as the Orange won their season opener for the first time since 2003. He connected with Aaron Weaver for a 23-yard score on the game’s first series and found Van Chew for a 26-yard touchdown five seconds before halftime for a 17-3 lead at intermission. The Zips got on the scoreboard with just over a minute left in the first half, thanks to a 40-yard field goal by Iveljic.

Jeremy LaFrance had seven catches for 75 yards to lead UA’s receiving corps.

With the defeat, the Zips dropped to 0-6 overall and 0-2 in MAC play, while the Golden Flashes improved to 2-3 overall and 1-1 in the conference standings. The loss ended a three-game UA winning streak in the all-time series with KSU, and the Golden Flashes regained possession of the coveted Wagon Wheel. Alex Allen led the Zips with 51 yards on 14 carries and a touchdown, his team-leading sixth of the season. Jeremy LaFrance added a 10-yard score on a fake field goal to go along with 75 yards receiving on six catches. Allen’s two-yard run gave Akron an early 7-0 lead, capping its second drive of the day. That score was set up by a roughing the passer call on Kent State on third-and-4 and a 34-yard sprint by Jalil Carter. Akron forced a Kent State punt to open the third quarter and drove 71 yards on 12 plays to close within 21-17 with 5:47 on the clock. LaFrance scored on the ground from 10 yards out on a fake field goal, acting as the holder. The Zips’ drive was kept alive thanks to a facemask penalty by KSU on third-and-27, resulting in an automatic first down.

The Owls (7-2, 4-1) blocked a 42-yard field goal attempt by Igor Iveljic with 30 seconds left in the first half, and held to a 6-0 lead at the break thanks to two Brandon McManus’ field goals. Iveljic’s scoring try was sparked by a Temple turnover. Shawn Lemon tallied his teamleading seventh sack of the season and caused Owls’ quarterback Mike Gerardi to fumble. Lemon also recovered the loose ball at the TU 32 yard line. Akron moved the ball as far as the 25 and in a fourth and three situation sent in Iveljic, but Kee-ayre Griffin deflected the kick.

Akron quarterback Patrick Nicely completed 15-of-26 passes for 134 yards, had one interception and was sacked four times. Brian Wagner led the UA defense with a gamehigh 10 tackles.

AKRON, Ohio - The University of Akron football team led by four early in the second half, but couldn’t hold on as Miami (Ohio) came from behind to hand the Zips a 19-14 defeat on Wednesday night at InfoCision Stadium-Summa Field.

AKRON, Ohio - Behind three touchdown passes by quarterback Patrick Nicely, The University of Akron football team earned a 22-14 victory over visiting Buffalo at InfoCision-Stadium-Summa Field on Friday in the final game of the season.

Akron (0-11, 0-7 Mid-American Conference) suffered the setback despite a pair of big contributions from running back Alex Allen and wide receiver Jalil Carter. Allen rushed for a team-high 134 yards and two touchdowns, while Carter recorded seven receptions for 119 yards.

With the win, the Zips (1-11, 1-7 Mid-American Conference) finished the year on a good note for its 16 seniors, who were honored before the game. Buffalo ended the season with a 2-10 record overall and a 1-7 mark in MAC play.

The Zips took a 14-10 lead on their second play from scrimmage after halftime when Allen broke a 91-yard run up the middle for his second touchdown of the night. It was the longest run of Allen’s career and the fourth-longest run from scrimmage by any Akron player in school history. Miami (7-4, 6-1) regained the lead on a pair of field goals - from 25 and 27 yards - from Trevor Cook and took a 16-14 advantage into the fourth quarter. Cook provided the game’s final margin with his fourth field goal of the night - a 32-yarder - that pushed the RedHawks’ lead to five with 4:58 left on the clock. Akron battled back - converting a fourth-and-1 on a trick play that had Allen complete a 13-yard pass to quarterback Patrick Nicely - and had a chance to pull out a dramatic victory, but Jeremy LaFrance fumbled on Miami’s 13-yard line after a quick pass from Nicely with 1:46 to go. The RedHawks recovered the ball and ran the clock out to escape with the win.

Nicely connected on 13-of-24 passes for 193 yards and made a number of big plays down the stretch. Seniors Alex Allen and Jalil Carter also enjoyed strong performances, with each going over 100 yards, respectively. Allen rushed a career-high 32 times for 106 yards and Carter had five receptions for 109 yards, including his second touchdown of the season. Holding on to a 22-7 lead late in the fourth quarter, the Zips had to hold off a late surge by the Bulls, who scored a quick touchdown and recovered the ensuing on-side kick with 1:52 left in regulation. UB quarterback Jerry Davis led his team all the way down to Akron’s 17-yard line as the Bulls, down by eight points, threatened to send the game into overtime. But sophomore linebacker Brian Wagner, who shared the team lead with senior linebacker Mike Thomas with 14 tackles, made one final big play for the defense by stripping the ball free from Davis on first-and-10. Senior linebacker Shawn Lemon jumped on the loose ball to officially end the rally and send the Zips to their first victory of the year.

Memphis 38, Akron 31 Ford Field • Detroit, Mich. Dec. 26, 2005

DETROIT (AP) - DeAngelo Williams lived up to the hype. Williams set an NCAA record with his 34th 100-yard rushing game and scored three touchdowns, leading Memphis to a 38-31 victory over Akron in the Motor City Bowl. Williams ran for 233 yards on 30 carries and finished his career with 6,021 yards rushing - trailing only Ron Dayne, Ricky Williams and Tony Dorsett in Division I-A history - and an NCAA-record 7,568 allpurpose yards. The Tigers (7-5) took a 21-point lead with 3:09 left, but needed to recover an onside kick with 55 seconds left to seal the win after Luke Getsy threw his fourth touchdown pass to cut the lead to seven points. Akron (7-6) made a good showing in its first Division I-A bowl game after scoring 21 fourth-quarter points to beat Northern Illinois in the Mid-American Conference championship game. “This became an awakening around the campus and the town,” Zips coach J.D. Brookhart said. “To come out and see that wave of blue and gold on the sideline was awesome.” Getsy was 34-for-59 for a Motor City Bowl-record 455 yards, and tied Chad Pennington’s mark for passing touchdowns in the bowl’s nine-year history. Jabari Arthur broke Randy Moss’s bowl record with 180 yards receiving, scoring twice on eight receptions. The Tigers led by 10 at halftime after scoring on three straight drives, then pulled away in the second half with three TDs and a field goal in four drives before nearly collapsing in the final minutes. It was a wild finish - with 46 points scored in the final 15:46 - after Akron led 3-0 midway through the first quarter. The teams combined for 1,018 yards of offense. Williams broke 100-yard games mark in the third quarter when he ran up the middle and bounced to the outside on an 18-yard carry. After Getsy threw a 72-yard TD pass to Brett Biggs early in the fourth quarter to cut Akron’s deficit to 23-17, Williams showed his speed and power. He burst through a small hole in the middle of the line and sprinted for a 67-yard gain to set up his 2-yard, linemen-dragging TD for his third score, tying the bowl record. Williams, who finished seventh in voting for the Heisman, was taken out of the game midway through the fourth quarter while Memphis was driving for its 38-17 lead. He finished 4 yards rushing short of the Motor City Bowl record set by Northwestern’s Jason Wright against Bowling Green in 2003. A crowd of 50,616 attended the game in Ford Field, where the Super Bowl was played in 2006.
