PNC WAGON WHEEL CHALLENGE On Aug. 24, 2011, the athletics departments at The University of Akron 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 competition for an historic wooden wagon wheel trophy awarded originally in 1945 to the winner of the annual Akron-Kent State football game. Starting with the 2011-12 academic year, the PNC-sponsored rivalry broaden the competition to include 14 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 standings via www.PNCWagonWheelChallenge.com.

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 director 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 competitions against one another are already very important, but the Wagon Wheel Challenge will increase the level of bragging rights around the community.”

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

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 Manchester, who as the Kent State Dean of Men in 1945, suggested the local historic 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 athletics Joel Nielsen said. “We’re very appreciative of PNC’s support of the Wagon

PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge Rules & Qualifying Sports

• Each of the 14 sports will be worth one (1) point. For a school to be the winner of The PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge, it must accumulate 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 (including 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 determining 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 14-sports season tie, the school that won the trophy the previous year will retain possession.

AKRON FOOTBALL

“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.”

Wheel Challenge – this model has worked very well with other schools and it can only help grow this rivalry and make it even stronger.”

AKRON TRADITIONS 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.

JOHN HEISMAN 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.

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.

Squirted it to him was more like it.

AKRON FOOTBALL

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.

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.

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 objected, 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 inspecting 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 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!” 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 game to boot.

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.

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 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.

The Zips are 20-23-1 since the introduction of the Wagon Wheel Trophy. In 2011, the Wagon Wheel was the inspiration behind the creation of the PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge. The Wagon Wheel Challenge broadened the Akron-Kent State rivalry to include all 14 NCAA varsity sports that are sponsored by both programs (see page 13 for more information on the PNC Wagon Wheel Challenge).

AKRON TRADITIONS

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.

Gerry Faust 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.

The great debate was, should Akron, coming off a Division 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. #ZipsGameday

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?’’

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.

The evolution of Zippy, The University’s mascot, began more than 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 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 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 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 Zips 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.” #RiZeUP!

UA MAKES FIRST 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.

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, one by the University lettermen and one by the local sports writers and faculty representatives – the winner was decided on January 15, 1926.

RING OF HONOR

Jim Dennison inducted into the Ring of Honor in 2003 as Akron’s all-time winningest coach (80 wins). The University and City of Akron honored Dennison on Nov. 2, 2013, with “Jim Dennison Day.”

Jason Taylor was inducted into the Ring of Honor in 2004 after finishing his Akron career as the program’s career sack (21) and tackles for a loss (41.0) leader.

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, the first coach to lead the Zips to a 10-win season, and 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, 3313, in the bowl game. The 1976 team, coached 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, 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 first-team 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. 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 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 contributed memorials. GoZips.com/ZipsFB

AKRON TRADITIONS AKRON’S FIRST BOWL

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 16yard TD run and 36-yard TD pass from NFL Hall of Famer Terry 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.

The 1968 Zips went 7-3-1 and made their first postseason appearance at the Grantland Rice Bowl in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

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 Bezbatchenko to win, 29-26.

AKRON’S FIRST 1-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 1976 Zips finished 10-3 after a 24-13 decision to Montana State in the Pioneer Bowl (NCAA Division II National Championship).

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.

Luke Getsy guided the Zips to their first MAC championship in 2005. As a result, Akron returned to Detroit on Dec. 26 for Akron’s first D-I bowl, the Motor City Bowl. #ZipsGameday

RUBBER BOWL

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 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 wellworn 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 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, 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 facility’s 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 191123-10 record.

The 59 points was a modern era record (since 1900) and helped propel UA to its first post-season bowl game – the Grantland Rice Bowl. • Big Win Propels UA To Great Season: Sept. 20, 1969 – While on the way to matching UA’s best record ever, a 9-1 mark, breaking 32 UA records and finishing with the football team’s highest national ranking ever – third in the AP college division poll – the Zips upset favored Tampa, 40-0, before an Acme-Zip Game crowd of 42,869. Little All-American halfback Jack Beidleman scored four TDs to lead the UA attack. • 1971 Team Produces Two Last-Minute Victories: Sept. 25, 1971 – With 39 seconds remaining, Little All-American defensive halfback Mike Hatch was spectacular in returning a punt 74 yards before tossing an over-thehead lateral, while being tackled, to Pat Coughenour for the final yard of the winning TD over Western Illinois, 14-7. One week later (Oct. 2), with only 24 seconds remaining, quarterback Mic Hutton directed the Zips from their own 33 yard line to the Ball State 21, 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: 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 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: Nov. 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: 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 start-

ed 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 35yard 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 made 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 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 stan-

COACHING STAFF

COACHING STAFF | TERRY BOWDEN Terry Bowden, who owns a 151-87-2 record over a 21-year collegiate coaching career, is in his fourth season at the helm of the UA program. He was named the Zips’ 27th alltime head coach on Dec. 22, 2011, but is just the seventh person to hold the position since 1960.

TERRY

BOWDEN

Bowden has been responsible for miraculous turnarounds almost everywhere he has coached and is on the verge of doing it once again at The University of Akron.

} Head Coach } Fourth Season at Akron } 22nd Season Overall } West Virginia ‘78

AKRON FOOTBALL

Last season, Bowden led UA to its second-straight 5-7 record overall and a 3-5 mark against the MAC. He led the Zips to their first win over a BCS/Power 5 opponent since 2008, downing Pittsburgh, 21-10, at Heinz Field on Sept. 27. The win was the first for Akron over an ACC program since UA’s 20-17 win at NC State on Sept. 9, 2006. The 5-7 record marked the first time since the 2005 and 2006 seasons that the Zips had posted back-to-back campaigns with five or more victories (7-6 in 2005, 5-7 in 2006). Four Zips earned All-Mid-American Conference honors in 2014, with junior linebacker Jatavis Brown and junior nose tackle Cody Grice named first-team All-MAC. Senior defensive lineman Nordly Capi and junior punter Zach Paul earned second-team honors. In addition to the All-MAC honors, nine Zips were named Academic All-MAC, led by three-time honoree Robert Stein. The nine honorees marked the third straight season with nine or more Academic All-MAC selections. During the summer, five players from the 2014 squad signed with NFL teams, including Nordly Capi (Jacksonville), Jawon Chisholm (Pittsburgh), Zach D’Orazio (New England), Justin March -Lillard (Kansas City), and Nmesoma Okafor (Cincinnati). In 2013, Bowden led UA to its highest win total since 2008 by going 5-7 overall and 4-4 against the MAC, as well as ending the year by winning three straight and four of its last five games. The Zips went 3-3 at home, including a 31-29 win over Toledo in the season finale and a 16-7 victory over neighborhood rival Kent State to regain possession of the coveted wooden Wagon Wheel. Additionally in 2013, seven players were named All-MAC, highlighted by first-team selection then-sophomore linebacker Jatavis Brown – the first Zip named to the first team since Bryan Wagner in 2011. The 2013 squad also landed defensive lineman Nico Caponi, sophomore quarterback Kyle Pohl and sophomore kicker Robert Stein on the Academic All-MAC Team – the most for the program since 2006. Eight other student-athletes were awarded academic honorable mention. In 2012, Bowden, serving as offensive coordinator, ushered in a spread offense that resulted in an aerial attack responsible for a school-record and MAC 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’ 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 teamhigh 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 nationally 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 included redshirt freshman kicker Robert Stein being one of 38 student-athletes named to the Academic All-MAC Team. Additionally, 11 Zips earned academic honorable mention 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 Auburn from 1993-98 and spent the three seasons prior to coming to Akron 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 quarterfinals of the playoffs. He followed that in 2010 by guiding the Lions to a 9-4 record and another trip to the playoffs. 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. Bowden was again a finalist for coach of the year following his second season at Auburn as the Tigers had reeled off 20-straight wins, an Auburn record, and finished 9-1-1. He posted a 47-17-1 record at Auburn and led the Tigers to three bowl games. 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

Bowden then engineered and directed Samford’s move from non-scholarship Division III football to Division I-AA (now FCS) scholarship football. 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, 59 (born Feb. 25, 1956), was an assistant coach at Akron in 1986 under then Zips’ head coach Gerry Faust. During his time away from coaching, Bowden first served as a studio analyst and color commentator with ABC Sports’ college football coverage. He was also an analyst for Westwood One Radio’s College Football National Game of the Week, co-hosted “The Coaches Show” on Sirius Satellite Radio with Jack Arute, and was the exclusive college football columnist for Yahoo! Sports. Bowden is a member of one of the most famous and successful college football coaching families. His father, Bobby Bowden, turned Florida State into a national champion and his 389 collegiate wins rank second in Division I history. His brother Tommy had an 18-4 record in two seasons as head coach at Tulane and a 7245 record in 10 seasons as head coach at Clemson, taking the Tigers to eight bowl games. His brother Jeff also has 25 years of collegiate coaching experience, working at Salem, Samford, Southern Mississippi, Florida State, North Alabama, and at Akron with Terry. During the decade of the 1990s, Terry, Tommy, and Bobby all led their teams to undefeated seasons. All three were named National Coach of the Year. Bobby and Terry were the first father-son combo in NCAA history to serve as head coaches at the same time. Bobby and Tommy were the first father-son combo to coach against each other. 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 accounting, 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.

Three of the Zips’ four All-MAC selections came from the defensive side of the gall, including junior linebacker Jatavis Brown and junior nose tackle Cody Grice earning first-team All-MAC. Senior defensive lineman Nordly Capi earned second-team honors. During the summer, three defensive players from the 2014 squad signed with NFL teams, including Nordly Capi (Jacksonville), Justin March-Lillard (Kansas City) and Nmesoma Okafor (Cincinnati). During the 2013 campaign, Amato’s defense finished third in the MAC, allowing 397.0 yards per game. Four Zip defenders earned All-MAC honors, including Jatavis Brown (first-team), Malachi Freeman (second-team), Justin March (third-team) and Nico Caponi (third-team).

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, 69 (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). He led the Wolfpack to their first 11-win season in school history in 2002 and highest national ranking (No. 12 in the final Associated Press poll; No. 11 in the final Coaches poll) since 1974, after defeating Notre Dame in the Gator Bowl. The 2004 NC State squad led the nation in total defense. Additionally under Amato, quarterback Philip Rivers rewrote the program and ACC record books in every passing and total offense category. During his tenure, he had 22 players drafted into the NFL, including five in the first round. In 2000, Amato’s NC State squad defeated Minnesota in the MicronPC.com Bowl, in 2001, lost to Pittsburgh in the Tangerine Bowl, in 2003 downed Kansas in the Tangerine Bowl, and in 2006 topped South Florida in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.

AKRON, Ohio – Behind an offensive attack led by junior QB Kyle Pohl, Akron had no trouble handling Howard in its season opener, cruising to a 41-0 victory at InfoCision Stadium – Summa Field.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Akron defense forced three turnovers but the Zips were only able to convert them into three points as UA dropped a 21-3 decision at Penn State.

The decisive win was Akron’s first in a season-opening contest since 2007, when the Zips defeated Army 22-14.

Akron picked off Christian Hackenberg twice and forced a fumble on the day, while the offense was without a turnover for the second-straight week. However, Penn State posted 425 yards of total offense.

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 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) 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. 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 the 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 four 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.
