I would think that Akron would be able to cover that spot but this is not a game that I will be playing due to Akron's lack of defense. Buffalo can actually move the ball on offense by the ground game as they did on the road against Eastern Michigan earlier this year. Akron is adjusting to a new offense and pretty much a whole new set of receivers and the running game has been nil. The Zips have the possibility of erupting this game and putting a big number up against a poor Buffalo defense. One thing about Akron there homefield advantage is pretty much worthless as they barely get 10k at each game as the Rubber Bowl besides being old and outdated is about 10 miles from campus so not many students attend the game.
