For Wyoming, it marks the first trip to Ohio since 2011 and its first race with Akron. Historically, the Cowboys have fought their own confrontation against MAC opponents, 12-5 in the matchup meeting, including a 4-2 road record.
Wyoming enters the season under sophomore head coach Jay Sawvel, who led the team to a 3-9 record in 2024. Nevertheless, the program hopes to build momentum after returning to offensive staff and improving defense.
Meanwhile, Akron ended in 2024 and was banned from the playoffs due to academic compliance issues when fourth-year head coach Joe Moorhead finished 4-8.
