The Ohio State football team stays at home this Saturday as host to in-state foe Akron, still looking to improve in multiple areas. To be fair, it shouldn’t be much of a game this time, because the talent gap isn’t anywhere close between the Zips and Buckeyes, but that’s why they play the game. Remember, we also thought the contest between Tulsa and OSU would be a win going away.
Each week, we try to keep you in tune with what the opposing coach says about Ohio State leading into the game, and it’s no different here. Akron head coach Tom Arth met with the local media in Northeast Ohio earlier this week and previewed the challenge and opportunity ahead for his Zips.
As you would expect, he was extremely complimentary of the talent and ability of what his team will face in the ‘Shoe Saturday night, and we’re bringing you the video thanks to the YouTube channel of the Akron Zips.
Watch below and hear Arth discuss not buying into OSU’s defensive struggles, how impressive and explosive the offense is, what an opportunity it is for his squad, and more.
Ohio State and Akron are set to do battle Saturday night at 7:30 p.m EDT on the Big Ten Network.
