Game times finalized; three more televised
Football
Those of you with hodophobia (fear of road travel) should rest a little easier tonight.
Three more Zips away games will be televised, albeit on hard-to-find networks.
Akron will play Ohio State and Indiana on the Big Ten Network. The Connecticut game is an ESPN regional telecast. That is in addition to the two games on ESPN2 and two on ESPNU.
The universities also agreed on start times for each game. The only odd time is 11 a.m. at the Rubber Bowl against Central Michigan on Nov. 23 -- the day after Thanksgiving. (That is some early, early tailgating.)
The inaugural Patriot Bowl will begin at 7 p.m. on Sept. 1 against Army at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

broke down the Zips on NewEraScouting.com. He is more concerned about the punting game, while I think it should be OK. Everything else we are pretty much square about.
