I guess you can say "At least they are trying to get fans involved". Odd promotion but they do need help to get attendance.

It�ll be embarrassing if the fan OC scores a TD with more regularity than the paid OC. With Akron anything is possible.

At least they won't kick off to begin both halves as former coach Rob Ianello mistakenly had his Zips squad do in a loss to Morgan State.

Against a bad FCS opponent at home to start the season, I'm OK with it.

Next year, after another losing season, they'll have to offer QB privileges for opening drive.
