In a game that was in doubt until the 4th quarter, the Akron Zips finally pulled ahead for good on a 1 yard touchdown run from Drew Kelly to put the score at 31-21 with 26 seconds remaining in the game. "We made a couple of mistakes just outside the red zone that could have really cost us the game. That's something we'll need to improve before we go into Dekalb next week," said Coach Hutchinson as he was heading off the field. He also added, "The defense really came through for us tonight and made a couple of big stands and that was the difference in the game."
