the Pnc wAGon wheel chAllenGeOn Aug. 24, 2011, the athletics departments at The University of Ak-ron and Kent State University today announced participation in a new competition called “The PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge,” which further expands an intercollegiate athletics rivalry dating back more than a half-century between the two schools.

The PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge is based on a time-honored competi-tion for an historic wooden wagon wheel trophy awarded originally in 1945 to the winner of the annual Akron-Kent State football game. Start-ing with the 2011-12 academic year, the PNC-sponsored rivalry broaden the competition to include 15 NCAA varsity sports, with victories in each sport adding one point to the challenge standings.

Fans can learn more about the rivalry and follow the results and stand-ings via www.PNCWagonWheelChallenge.com.

“PNC’s new athletic challenge will spark more excitement in a broad range of sports between these rival schools,” said Kevin O. Thompson, PNC regional president for Akron, Canton and Wooster. “By showcasing the talents of student-athletes, we will further engage alumni and the community to support our schools.”

In keeping with tradition, the annual winner of the football contest will gain possession of the historic wooden Wagon Wheel trophy, while the school that accumulates the most total points in all varsity matchups for that academic year will receive an overall series trophy.

“The Akron-Kent State rivalry is a regional event and this partnership will help expand it to more sports and likewise more fans,” Akron direc-tor of athletics Tom Wistrcill said. “We’re excited to have PNC serve as sponsor of what is one of the more unique rivalries in college athletics. As members of the Mid-American Conference, the results of our compe-titions against one another are already very important, but the Wagon Wheel Challenge will increase the level of bragging rights around the community.”

According to legend, the “Wagon Wheel” trophy traces its beginnings to the spring of 1870 when Akron industrialist John R. Buchtel set out for the town of Kent in search of a site to establish a college. In the muddy Ohio fields, however, his wagon became bogged down in the area where Kent State University is currently located. When horses pulled the wagon, a wheel came loose and became buried until it was discovered in 1902 during the construction of a pipeline along the Western Reserve Trail.

The wheel eventually fell into the possession of Dr. Raymond Manches-ter, who as the Kent State Dean of Men in 1945, suggested the local his-toric artifact be offered as the trophy to the winner of the annual Akron-Kent State football game.

“College athletics is built on strong rivalries, and we’re fortunate to have one of the closest in the country with Akron,” Kent State director of ath-letics Joel Nielsen said. “We’re very appreciative of PNC’s support of the Wagon Wheel Challenge – this model has worked very well with other schools and it can only help grow this rivalry and make it even stronger.”

IMG College, the sponsorship and multi-media rights holder for both Akron and Kent State athletics negotiated the PNC Wagon Wheel Chal-lenge.

to be the winner of The PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge, it must accumu-late at least eight (8) points.

• The point is awarded to the team that wins the season series in the head-to-head competition.

• If the teams play head-to-head once in a given season (e.g. football), then the school that wins will receive the point.

• All regular season games count toward the season series tally (in-cluding if non-conference games are played) with the school that wins more games (e.g., winning two of three in softball) receiving the point. If teams split the regular season matchups (e.g., in basketball), then each team receives a one-half (½) point for that sport.

• For men’s and women’s cross country, golf and indoor/outdoor track and field, one point is awarded to whichever school finishes higher in the MAC Championship for each of those sports. (For these sports, no other competitions – in-season or post-season – will count toward the series).

• MAC and/or NCAA Tournament games can count toward deter-mining the season series winner (e.g., the schools split the two regular season meetings in basketball and then meet in the MAC Tournament, whichever school wins that game is awarded the point).

• In the event of a 15-sports season tie, the school that won the trophy the previous year will retain possession.

Story reprinted with permission from Akron Magazine

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.

Squirted it to him was more like it.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

The students’ first choice was Heisman, and they moved quickly to get him. The young coach was invited to campus in January, and after in-specting the facilities he spelled out the terms under which he would render his services. At a meeting of the trustees’ executive committee on Jan. 28, 1893, the committee agreed to extend Heisman a one-year 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 Bu-chtelite, ran the headline “HEISMAN! HEISMAN! Rah! Rah! Rah!”

Alas, John W. Heisman’s association with Buchtel wasn’t a long or es-pecially 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 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.

the wAGon wheel

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 lo-cated, the horses broke away and left bits and pieces of the carriage scattered, including one of the wheels, which remained wedged in the mud.

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.

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.

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.

In 1946, Kent State defeated the Zips, 13-6, to capture the Wagon Wheel Trophy. After a KSU 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.

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 intro-duced 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.

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 Chev-eliers. After a three-way vote – one by the student body, one by the University lettermen and one by the local sports writers and faculty rep-

resentatives – 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) in-vented 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 representa-tives. ‘’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’s mascot, began 60 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 dis-sent back then seeing as how Zippy is one of, if not the, most beloved symbols of the University. In fact, dur-ing an 11 week long national contest, Zippy defeated all challengers. Zippy, after a first-round bye in the playoffs, cruised to victories over Syracuse’s Otto in the semifinals and Minneso-ta’s Goldy Golpher in the final to be-come 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 named “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 in 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 “Zip-py” came Sept. 24, 1965, in an identification of a photo of the cheer-leaders listing “Mascot - ‘Zippy’ - Charles Huettner.”

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 re-cord in 1987.

trAdItIonsrInG oF honor

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 Gor-don Larson (2005) have been inducted. Dennison, the all-time winningest coach (by victories with 80) in UA his-tory, 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 Mon-tana 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-Amer-icans 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, called the Knute Rockne Bowl.

In 2004, Taylor was added to the Ring of Honor when the Zips hosted, and defeat-ed in dramatic fashion, Marshall on Nov. 5 in an ESPN2 telecast. Taylor was a first-team All-Mid-American Conference hon-oree for the Zips in 1996 before becom-ing a third-round draft pick of the Miami Dolphins in 1997. Taylor still holds the Ak-ron 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.

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 winningest 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.

The Chris Angeloff Scholarship was established in memory of Chris Angeloff, a junior starting tight end, who collapsed and died of cardiac ar-rest 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.

Akron’s FIrst bowl

Gordon Larson’s Zips and Louisiana Tech met up for the College Divi-sion 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 36-yard 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-yard touchdown by quarterback Marty Bez-batchenko to win, 29-26.

Akron’s FIrst I-A bowl

After winning its first Mid-American Conference Championship, a dra-matic 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 trailed 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.

the rubber bowlOpened 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 was 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 dedi-cated before 37,000 people on Aug. 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, pay-ing $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 Touch-down 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) pre-season 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 au-thorized 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, co-MAC 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 University of Akron football games played in the Rubber Bowl, the Zips posted a 191-123-10 record.

the rubber bowl • 75th UA Win in the Bowl: Oct. 17, 1972 – A shutout of Northern Michigan, 49-0. • UA’s Winningest Coach Gets First Win/Bowl Gets Artificial Turf: Sept. 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: Sept. 6, 1975 – In Akron’s 75th season of foot-ball, 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: Nov. 18, 1978 – Akron, led by fresh-man tailback Terry Cameron, who ran for a record-breaking five TDs, defeated Northern Iowa, 39-28. • Another Nail Biter: Oct. 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 UNLV, 27-6, on Nov. 27, 1976, and in the ABC nationally televised Knute Rockne Bowl, a very cold and windy Dec. 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 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: Sept. 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: Nov. 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 Youngstown State, 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: Sept. 6, 1986 – Head Coach Gerry Faust, in his first game with UA, directed the Zips to a 35-0 victory over Salem. On Oct. 16, 1986, the Zips make their first appearance on ESPN, a 24-13 win over Murray State.

• MAC Champion Defeated: Sept. 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: Nov. 24, 2001 – In the 2001 season finale, Akron and Eastern Michigan battled to a triple overtime thrill-er 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: Nov. 2, 2002 – Known more for the visual of see-ing 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: Nov. 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 points, including a TD with 48 seconds left and getting the on-side kick to set up the win. • The Snow Bowl: Nov. 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: Sept. 22, 2007 – Ak-ron 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. Reg-gie 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: Nov. 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.

other memorIes • The NFL Pays Visits: Nov. 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. Also, the Rub-ber Bowl has been the home of numerous Akron high school games as part of the annual City Series.

Head coacH terry Bowden

Terry Bowden, who owns a 141-73-2 record (65.7 winning percentage) over a 19-year collegiate coaching career, is in his second season at the helm of the UA program. He was named the Zips’ 27th all-time head coach on Dec. 22, 2011, but is just the seventh person to hold the posi-tion since 1960.

In 2012, Bowden, serving as offensive coordinator, ushered in a spread offense that resulted in an aerial attack responsible for a school-record and Mid-American Conference season-high 30 passing touchdowns. The offense, which was conducted in a hurry-up no-huddle style, was led by fifth-year senior transfer quarterback Dalton Williams, who set the program’s single-season record for touchdown passes (25) and pass completions (326-for-522), while compiling the third most passing yards (3,387) in a season in school history.

Williams’s arm was complimented by sophomore running back Jawon Chisholm’s 953 yards rushing on the strength of 180 carries, and senior receiver Marquelo Suel’s team-high 820 receiving yards off 76 catches. Suel’s receptions were the second most in a single season in program history and earned him a place on the All-MAC Team.

The UA offense finished 2012 ranked first in the MAC and 16th na-tionally in passing (312.8 ypg), and sixth in the league and 45th in the country in total offense (427.2 ypg). Akron’s 5,126 yards of total offense ranked sixth in the MAC and 61st nationally, and was the second most in a season in program history, behind the 2003 squad’s 5,643.

Other highlights of the 2012 season include redshirt freshman kicker Robert Stein being one of 38 student-athletes named to the Academic All-MAC Team. Additionally, 11 Zips earned academic honorable men-tion from the league. Fifth-year senior transfer linebacker Kurt Mangum was selected to compete in the NFL Players Association Collegiate Bowl, after he led the squad with 110 tackles.

Bowden, who served as a studio analyst and color commentator with ABC Sports’ college football for 10 years, was the head coach at Au-burn from 1993-98 and spent the three seasons prior to coming to Ak-ron at Division II North Alabama.

In his time at North Alabama, Bowden led the Lions to a 29-9 record and three-consecutive playoff appearances. In 2011, the squad went 9-3 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. He was named Gulf South Conference Co-Coach of the Year in 2009 when the team went 11-2 and won the GSC championship and advanced to the quar-terfinals of the playoffs. He followed that in 2010 by guiding the Lions to a 9-4 record and another trip to the playoffs.

As head coach of Auburn, he went 47-17-1 (73.4 winning percentage) and posted the best opening, five-year run of any head football coach in school history. Also during his time with the Tigers, Bowden became the first collegiate coach in 50 years to win his 100th career game by his 40th birthday.

In his first season at AU, he became the first coach in Division I-A (now FBS) history to have an undefeated and untied season in his inaugural year at that level.

Prior to his stint at Auburn, Bowden built two programs from the ground up as head coach at Salem College (W.Va.) and Samford University (Ala.). When he took the job at Salem in 1983 he became the nation’s youngest head coach in college football at age 26.

Inheriting a Samford program which had won just six games in three years prior to his arrival, Bowden led the Bulldogs to a 9-1 record his first year, tying the record for the best season in school history. The squad led the nation in total offense (523 yards per game) and scoring offense (51.7 points per game), both national Division III records. The team’s 40 touchdown passes were also a national single-season record.

Bowden then engineered and directed Samford’s move from non-schol-arship Division III football to Division I-AA (now FCS) scholarship foot-ball. With only one freshman class on scholarship, the Bulldogs went to a full Division I-AA schedule in 1989. By 1991, Samford was competing for the national championship. His 1991 Samford team had the best record in school history at 12-2, and reached the Division I-AA national semifinals.

Bowden was named head coach at Auburn on Dec. 17, 1992. In 1993, Auburn had a perfect 11-0 record and he swept virtually every national coach of the year award in his rookie season, including Walter Camp, Scripps Howard, Football News, Toyota and the Paul “Bear” Bryant Award presented by the Football Writers Association.

During the decade of the 1990s, Terry, Tommy and Bobby all led their teams to undefeated seasons.

As a student-athlete at West Virginia, Bowden lettered two years as a running back (1977-78), held a 3.65 grade-point average in account-ing, the highest GPA on the football team, and graduated Magna Cum Laude.

He did post graduate work at Oxford University in England, and earned a Juris Doctorate from the Florida State School of Law in 1982, while a graduate assistant coach with the Seminoles.

associate Head coacH/deFensive coordinator cHUck amato

Chuck Amato, in his 41st year in the collegiate coaching ranks, includ-ing serving as head coach at North Carolina State and long-time assis-tant coach at Florida State, is in his second season on the UA staff. He serves as the program’s associate head coach and defensive coordina-tor, and works closely with the linebackers.

In 2012, Amato mentored fifth-year senior transfer linebacker Kurt Mangum, who was selected to compete in the NFL Players Association Collegiate Bowl. He led the Zips with 110 tackles and was the squad’s Defensive MVP. Also last season, junior LB Connor Seeman and soph-omore LB Nick Rossi earned Academic Honorable Mention from the Mid-American Conference.

Amato is one of the most respected coaches and recruiters in college football and has produced winning football teams and numerous top draft picks throughout his career. In 2002, he was elected to the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees.

Amato, 67 (born June 26, 1946), served as head coach at his alma mater NC State from 2000-06 and posted a 49-37 record while guiding the program to five bowl appearances (4-1 record in those bowl games).

A.J. Milwee was promoted to offensive coordinator in December 2012 and also mentors the UA quarterbacks. At age 27 (born Jan. 19, 1986), he is the second-youngest coordinator in the FBS.

A record-setting signal caller at Division-II North Alabama, Milwee oversaw the record-setting season of Zips’ fifth-year senior transfer quarterback Dalton Williams in 2012. Williams achieved the program’s single-season record for touchdown passes (25) and pass completions (326-for-522), while his 3,387 passing yards ranked as the third most in a season in school history.

Additionally in 2012, the Zips set a program record and led the Mid-American Conference in passing yards (3,753) and touchdown passes (30). The team’s school-record 312.8 passing yards per game ranked 17th nationally, while its 427.2 yards of total offense per game ranked 45th. UA’s 5,126 yards of total offense was second most in program his-tory, behind the 2003 squad’s 5,643.

Also in 2012, redshirt freshman QB Kyle Pohl was named to the MAC’s Academic Honorable Mention Team.

Milwee came to Akron after one year on staff at East Mississippi Com-munity College, helping the program to an NJCAA national champi-onship. He spent the 2009 and 2010 seasons on Terry Bowden’s staff at UNA as a graduate assistant that worked with the quarterbacks. In that time on the Lions staff the program went a combined 20-6, made back-to-back playoff appearances and were 2009 Gulf South Confer-ence champions.

Having compiled a 33-5 mark as UNA’s QB during the 2006-08 seasons, Milwee set all-time school records for career passing yards (8,436), pass completions (677), passing attempts (1,030), touchdown passes (73) and total offense yards (9,401). He earned honorable mention All-America honors as a senior and is a member of the program’s all-de-cade team (1999-2008).

At UNA, he was a two-time finalist for the Harlon Hill Trophy, awarded annually to the nation’s top player at the NCAA Division-II level.

Milwee spent his freshman year of eligibility as a member of the Ala-bama football team. He holds an undergraduate degree in finance from North Alabama.

The younger brother of UA head coach Terry Bowden, Jeff boasts nearly 30 years of collegiate coaching experience. In his second season on the staff, he serves as the Zips’ special teams coordinator and also works with the outside receivers.

In 2012, Bowden worked with All-Mid-American Conference Team pick senior wideout Marquelo Suel, who posted a team-high 820 receiving yards off 76 catches. Suel’s team-high receptions were the second most in a single season in program history. Additionally, he closed out the regular season ranked fifth in the MAC and tied for 28th nationally in catches per game (6.3). Suel was also named to the Fred Biletnikoff Award Watch List.

Also in 2012, junior receiver Jerrod Dillard, who led UA with nine touch-down catches, earned Academic Honorable Mention from the MAC. He finished the season with 29 catches for 401 yards.

In the three seasons prior to his post at Akron, Bowden was associate head coach and receivers coach at North Alabama with his brother, helping the program to a 29-9 record.

Before his tenure at UNA, he spent 13 years (1994-2006) on the staff at Florida State, working under his father, legendary coach Bobby Bowden. Jeff was the Seminoles’ offensive coordinator from 2001-06 and from 1994-2000 worked with the receivers.

In his 13 seasons at FSU, the program competed in a bowl game each year, tallied nine conference titles and one national championship (1999). A total of 21 of his charges were drafted or signed as a free agent with an NFL team, including Pro Bowlers Laveraneus Coles, Javon Walker and Anquan Boldin. He also coached consensus All-Americans Peter Warrick and Marvin Minnis, and mentored four bowl game MVPs.

He began his collegiate coaching career in 1983 as a receivers coach at Salem College, when Terry was hired as the head coach, and in 1985 was promoted to offensive coordinator.

In 1986, he served as graduate assistant coach at Florida State before rejoining Terry on Samford’s staff the following year. Jeff was offensive coordinator for the Bulldogs from 1987-90 and was credited with guid-ing the career of current Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher.

From 1991-93, Bowden served as receivers coach at Southern Missis-sippi before returning to Florida State in 1994.

Bowden, 53 (born Dec. 30, 1959), played wide receiver at FSU from 1980-83. He and his wife, Cindy, have five children, Haley, Hunter, T.J., Robert and Julia Elizabeth.

Alan Arrington is in his second season on the Akron staff and serves as coach of the offensive line. The recipient of the Northeastern Ohio Chapter of the National Football Foundation’s College Assistant Coach of the Year Award in 2012, he also handles a variety of administrative duties for the program.

In 2012, Arrington tutored a Zips front line that supported an offense ranked first in the Mid-American Conference and 16th nationally in passing (312.8 ypg), and sixth in the league and 45th in the country in total offense (427.2 ypg). Additionally, the offensive line allowed 24 sacks in 2012 after giving up 38 during the previous season.

Three of Arrington’s offensive linemen – Micah Leo, Joe Petrides and Travis Switzer – earned academic honorable mention from the MAC last year for having a cumulative grade-point average of 3.20 or higher.

Arrington, 43 (born Sept. 29, 1969), came to UA after six seasons at North Alabama, serving as the program’s offensive coordinator for the last four seasons and working under Terry Bowden each of the last three years. Arrington also worked with the Lions’ offensive line and helped the squad to a 62-14 mark during that six-year span as well as an ap-pearance in the Division II playoffs each season.

At North Alabama, Arrington tutored a number of decorated offensive linemen. In 2009, Calvin Wilson was named an All-American as well as being placed on the All-GSC and All-Super Region 2 teams. In 2008, Sam Hathorn was named to four All-American teams as well as the All-GSC and All-Super Region 2 squads, while J.D Whited earned All-Amer-ican, all-league and all-region nods in 2007. In 2006, center JoJo Bates earned All-American, All-GSC and All-Southeast Region recognition.

With Arrington as offensive coordinator in 2008, UNA posted a 12-2 record and advanced to the semifinals of the Division II playoffs.

He joined the UNA staff following 12 seasons as an assistant coach at Northwest Mississippi Community College.

In 1994, he was named offensive line coach at Northwest Mississippi and also was the school’s head softball coach from 1998-2001. In 2001, he was elevated to offensive coordinator and held that position through 2004. During his tenure, the Rangers claimed three Mississippi Junior College state championships and posted an 84-28 record.

Also during his stay at Northwest Mississippi, the school produced eight All-Americans and two National Academic honorees. While serv-ing as offensive coordinator, the Rangers sent 11 players onto Division-I programs and nine to Division-II schools.

Three times during his career (1995, 2002, 2004) he was selected for the MACIC North All-Star coaching staff.

He is a native of Oxford, Miss., and is married to the former Gail Perkins.

Northeast Ohio native Trent Boykin is in his second season at Akron, where he oversees the running backs.

In 2012, Boykin tutored sophomore tailback Jawon Chisholm, who rushed for 953 yards and five touchdowns on the strength of 180 carries.

Boykin spent the 2011 season as running backs coach at Wayne State, helping the Warriors to a school-record 12-win season and the pro-gram’s first-ever appearance in the Division-II national championship game. The team was ranked second in the final AFCA poll, and closed the season listed 33rd nationally in rushing yards per game (200.56) and 23rd in scoring offense (34.48 ppg).

Under his watch in 2011, Wayne State had two 1,000-yard rushers in the same season for the first time in school history. Senior Josh Renel was a first-team all-region selection and CoSIDA Academic All-America pick, while sophomore Toney Davis earned third-team all-region accolades. Davis’ 1,557 rushing yards were the fourth most in a single-season.

Boykin, 42 (born Nov. 13, 1970), spent the 2010 campaign as the co-of-fensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Lambuth (Tenn.) and was the head coach for two seasons (2008 and 2009) at Lane College (Tenn.), where he mentored eight all-conference players and the Southern Inter-collegiate Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year. Before working at Lane, he spent three seasons as assistant head coach at Kentucky State.

A 1995 graduate of Youngstown State with a degree in organization-al communication, Boykin began his coaching career as an offensive graduate assistant at Akron (1996-97). He also served one year at Bos-ton College (1998) as an offensive graduate assistant before coaching receivers at Tiffin in 1999. He spent three years (2000-02) as YSU’s wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator, and oversaw the run-ning backs and special teams at Ball State in 2003 and 2004.

Boykin was awarded four varsity letters in football and played on three Division I-AA national championship teams (1991, 1993, 1994) at Youngstown State under then head coach Jim Tressel. He completed his collegiate career ranked second on the Penguin’s career receptions (150) list and seventh in career receiving yards (1,950). He also held the school record for career punt returns (74) and career punt return yardage (534), and was named the program’s outstanding offensive player in 1994.

A 1990 graduate of Kent Roosevelt High School, he lettered in football, basketball and track, and is a member of the Kent City Schools Hall of Fame. Boykin played one year in Spain in the Arena Football League after originally signing with the Canadian Football League’s Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

Terrell Buckley, a 14-year veteran of the NFL and Florida State stand-out, is in his second season on the UA staff and works with the Zips’ cornerbacks. He helped the Patriots to a victory in Super Bowl XXXVI (Feb. 3, 2002).

In 2012, two of Buckley’s charges, senior Micklos Blake and redshirt freshman Bryce Cheek, earned Academic Honorable Mention from the Mid-American Conference. Blake closed out the season with 21 tackles, three pass breakups and one fumble recovery. Cheek had eight tackles to his credit.

A two-year starter and three-year letterwinner as a cornerback and re-turn specialist at Florida State (1989-91), Buckley was inducted into the school’s sports hall of fame in 2003. He had his jersey No. 27 retired in 2011 and is one of nine players in FSU history to earn that distinction, joining receivers Fred Biletnikoff (1962-64) and Ron Sellers (1966-68), nose guard Ron Simmons (1977-80), cornerback Deion Sanders (1985-88), Heisman trophy-winning quarterbacks Charlie Ward (1989-93) and Chris Weinke (1997-2000), running back Warrick Dunn (1993-96) and linebacker Derrick Brooks (1991-94).

Buckley, 42 (born June 7, 1971), left FSU as the program’s all-time lead-er in interceptions (21) and interception return yards (501). That INT return yardage was an NCAA record, and he tied school records for touchdowns off interceptions (4) and punt returns (3). He earned con-sensus All-America honors as a junior in 1991 as well as the Jim Thorpe Award that same season, given annually to the nation’s top defensive back. He was also a member of the Seminoles baseball team for two seasons (1990-91), playing outfield and second base, and was a sprinter on the outdoor track team (1991-92).

Buckley was picked fifth in the 1992 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers and spent the next 14 seasons in the league (1992-2005).

During his NFL career he amassed 50 interceptions. In 1996, Buckley led the league in interception return yards (164) and as a rookie in 1992 set what remains a current record as the youngest player to return a punt for a touchdown (21 years, 105 days – Sept. 20, 1992, versus Cin-cinnati). He also played baseball in the Atlanta Braves minor league system.

In the three seasons prior to his move to Akron, Buckley was as a gradu-ate assistant strength coach at FSU, where he completed his under-graduate degree in 2007. A native of Pascagoula, Miss., he’s a single father of three daughters, Sherrell, Brianna and Britney.

John Pont is in his second year on Terry Bowden’s staff and serves as recruiting coordinator and inside receivers coach.

Pont worked with a UA receiving corps that had 18 different players tally at least one reception in 2012, and account for a program single-season record 30 passing touchdowns.

In 2011, Pont was on staff at fellow Mid-American Conference institu-tion Miami (Ohio), serving as intern to the defensive staff. He began his coaching career at Florida State, where he was Bobby Bowden and Jimbo Fisher’s offensive graduate student assistant from 2008-09, and completed a master’s degree in sport administration during that time.

Pont, 29 (born Aug. 28, 1983), who has an undergraduate degree from Miami (Ohio), was receivers and tight ends coach at North Alabama for Terry Bowden in 2009, before a brief stop at North Texas and move to Colorado State in 2010 to be an offensive quality control coach. He returned to North Alabama for a short time in 2011, just prior to his post at Miami.

Pont’s grandfather, John, is a member of Miami’s famed Cradle of Coaches and also served as head coach at Yale, Northwestern and Indi-ana. Pont is married to the former Tera Bowden, Terry’s oldest daughter.

Todd Stroud, who boasts over 25 years of experience as a collegiate coach, is in his second season on the staff and works with the Zips’ de-fensive line. Throughout his career he has tutored numerous NFL Draft selections and developed nationwide recruiting ties.

In 2012, Zips junior lineman Nico Caponi earned Academic Honorable Mention from the Mid-American Conference after posting 29 tackles, three tackles for a loss and two sacks. Last season Stroud also worked to develop redshirt freshman nose guard Cody Grice. The Akron Firestone High School product finished the season ranked seventh on the squad in tackles with 47, including 7.5 for a loss, after being recruited as a fullback.

Prior to his current stint at UA, Stroud spent two years at Colorado State where he coached the defensive line in 2011, and was tight ends/full-backs coach and recruiting coordinator in 2010. He arrived at CSU after three seasons (2007-09) as head coach for strength and conditioning at his alma mater Florida State.

Stroud, 49 (born Dec. 17, 1963), was assistant head coach/defensive line coach at North Carolina State from 2004-06, working under then Wolfpack head coach Chuck Amato. During his first season, the pro-gram led the nation in total defense.

Five of his NC State players were selected in NFL drafts. Three of those linemen went in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft – Mario Williams (the No. 1 overall selection ahead of Reggie Bush), Manny Lawson and John McCargo. Additionally, Wolfpack standouts Tank Tyler (2007, third round) and DeMario Pressley (2008, fifth round), a member of the New Orleans Saints team that won Super Bowl XLIV, also were drafted.

From 1999-2004, he was NC State’s director of strength and conditioning. He was also strength and conditioning coach at Memphis (1997-99), Auburn (1993) and Samford (1987-92), where he also coached the defensive line.

The 1993 Auburn team he trained and conditioned went 11-0 and finished ranked fourth in the final Associated Press poll under head coach Terry Bowden. In his six seasons at Samford (also coached by Bowden), he aided the program in reaching consecutive Division I-AA playoff appearances.

He has a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Florida State (1985) and a master’s degree in athletics administration from Alabama-Birming-ham (1988). He started at nose guard for FSU from 1983-85 and was cap-tain of the 1985 squad while helping the Seminoles to four bowl games.

Stroud and his wife, Marianne, have four children, daughters, Jessica, Alexandra and Chelsea, and son, Stone.

Veteran coach and Northeast Ohio native Mike Woodford is in his sec-ond season on Terry Bowden’s staff and second stint as a member of the program. He tutors the UA safeties.

In 2012, one of Woodford’s pupils, junior Sean Graves, earned Aca-demic Honorable Mention from the Mid-American Conference.

Woodford joined the Akron staff after spending the 2011 season at New Mexico following a three-year stretch at Illinois (2007-09).

As special teams coordinator at Illinois, Woodford was responsible for breaking in a brand-new kicking battery. Emerging in 2008 was place-kicker Matt Eller, who broke the school record for field goals by a fresh-man and led the team in scoring with 84 points.

In 2007, Woodford tutored placekicker Jason Reda to the best season of his career. He broke the school’s all-time scoring record with 267 points, while also finishing with 51 career field goals.

Woodford’s tenure at Illinois marked the fourth time he and head coach Ron Zook had joined forces. The pair were part of the Kansas staff in 1983, the New Orleans Saints’ staff in 2001 and during Zook’s time as head coach at Florida. While at KU, the duo worked with Mike Gott-fried, and Woodford has also studied under such coaches as Larry Smith, Lou Holtz and Jim Haslett.

In his first season at Florida, Woodford coached three All-SEC players in Todd Johnson, Keiwan Ratliff and Guss Scott. That year, the Gator pass defense ranked seventh in the country.

He also helped a pair of Saints to Pro Bowl selections during his season with the NFL franchise, as safety Sammy Knight was a 2002 Pro Bowl starter and La’Roi Glover also was selected to the team.

Woodford went to the Saints after spending two seasons at Middle Ten-nessee State as the defensive backs coach. Prior to that, he was the de-fensive coordinator at nearby Walsh University for the 1994-99 season and the defensive backs coach at Akron from 1986-91 with then head coach Gerry Faust (Terry Bowden was on the UA staff in 1986 as well).

Woodford, 53 (born Sept. 4, 1959), has a bachelor of liberal arts degree in history from Arizona and played safety for the Wildcats from 1978-81. After joining the program as a walk on, he later becoming a starter and was a member of the team that played in the 1979 Fiesta Bowl.

From 2008-10, Webb was a member of the strength and conditioning staff at Michigan, serving one year as an intern and two seasons as an assistant coach. During that time he worked with student-athletes from multiple sports, including football, men’s ice hockey and wrestling.

Prior to joining the Akron staff in 2011, Webb was on staff at Strength In Motion in Syracuse, N.Y. In that role, he taught proper Olympic lift-ing techniques, nutrition and customized training programs. Among his students were select members of the Syracuse men’s basketball team.

Webb has a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology/fitness development from SUNY Cortland and is working on a master’s degree in sport science and coaching at Akron. He is CSCS certified and a member of the Na-tional Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

Jason Sanders is in his second season as Akron football’s coordinator of video services. He was named the 2012-13 Mid-American Conference Video Coordinator of the Year by the Collegiate Sports Video Associa-tion.

Sanders joined the UA staff after spending 2011 as football video coor-dinator at Connecticut and as a video consultant to the Hawaii football team. He left Oklahoma in 2010 after four years as the school’s assistant director of football video. In his time with the Sooners, he was part of three Big XII championship teams (2007, 2008, 2010) and a program that appeared in the 2008 BCS National Championship Game, two Fi-esta Bowls and one Sun Bowl.

Sanders served as a graduate assistant at Mississippi State in 2005-06, earning a master’s degree in sports administration. In 2003, he began his career as the video coordinator for Jacksonville State while still an undergraduate student. He earned a bachelor’s degree in communica-tions from JSU in 2004.

PLEASANT, Mich. – Despite posting 492 yards of total offense, The University of Akron football team lost 35-14 to Central Michigan in a Mid-American Conference cross-divisional matchup at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Akron had a chance to pull to within a touchdown with about nine minutes to play but its 10-play, 76-yard drive fell short. On fourth and goal from the 4-yard line quarterback Dalton Williams faced a heavy Central Michigan blitz and overthrew the endzone.

The Zips made the margin 28-14 with 14:30 left when Jerrod Dillard caught a 10-yard pass from Williams to complete an eight-play, 76-yard drive, but the squad’s scoring ended there and the Chippewas posted an insurance TD when Zurlon Tipton rushed six yards to the endzone with 1:26 remaining.

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. Williamsranfor233yardson30carriesandfinishedhiscareerwith6,021 yards rushing – trailing only Ron Dayne, Ricky Williams and Tony Dorsett in Division I-A history – and an NCAA-record 7,568 all-purpose 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)madeagoodshowinginitsfirstDivisionI-Abowlgameafter scoring 21 fourth-quarter points to beat Northern Illinois in the Mid-American Conference championship game. 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.
