Rutgers Football is fresh off a big 44-7 win over Howard this past Thursday and this upcoming weekend they will welcome Akron to town for a Saturday afternoon matchup. But before kickoff happens, let's take a look into this year's Akron Football program.
Akron is coming off their second 2-10 season in a row, as their lone two wins last year came against Kent State and Morgan State.

Moorhead is widely regarded as one of top offensive minds in college football. He helped lead UConn to their only FBS Bowl Game appearance in 2010, turned around Fordham from a one win team to three NCAA Playoff appearances over four seasons and then turned Penn State into the 2016 Big Ten Champions.
After all that, he was hired at Mississippi State as the head coach, but was let go after two seasons and quickly got the job as Oregon's Offensive Coordinator where the Ducks won the Pac-12 Championship in year one (2020) and then ended up at Akron prior to the 2022 season.
