So here we are again...
A late season epic pillow fight between the only two teams not names Ohio or Miami who won the MAC East this past decade.
Last season it was a week 13 trip to a winless Akron that showed us just how far UB had fallen. The Zips were in the lead throught the game and only some spectacular work by Alex Neutz (you know the guy who's out for the season with a wrist injury) kept the Bulls in the game.
This year, for both teams, has went about the same.
Sure UB beat the MAC East champs this year and all the zips have to hang their hat on is a win over VMI but the Bulls play, in general, is declining over the early part of the season.
Akron had been showing some improvement throughout the year, coming just a missed two point conversion away from beating Central Michigan, but these past to weeks they have hit a road block. Getting stomped by Miami and losing the Wagon Wheel to Kent.
With game like this, and with teams like these, you never really know what to expect. UB has been a far better team at home than on the road. Akron, despite being winless beat the Bulls last season.
The only real known about this game is that the loser, if they survive the off season, will start 2012 with the shortest leash in college football.
