Ohio has been another Peter Principle team. They were crushed by nationally ranked Louisville, but returned the favor to the other three, all inferior foes, going 3-0 straight up and against the spread to non-ranked teams. Akron has one win, to FCS Jimmy Madison at home by just two points.

The Bobcats are coming off a bye week which was great timing for a team that was hit by injuries, particularly in the trenches. Senior quarterback Tyler Tettleton (68 of 106, 858 yards, 6 TD) and the veteran tailback tandem of Ryan Boykin (201 yards, 2 TD) and Beau Blankenship (179 yards, 2 TD) are on hand to lead OU.
