RJ's take: Joe Moorhead made the run-pass option a thing, it just hasn't worked at Akron. In fairness, not a lot has for the Zips historically.

Moorehead has won four games in two years. The Zips have enjoyed one winning season in the CFP era and went 0-12 in 2019. Still, there's a star in Akron, and his name is C.J. Nunally IV. He accounted for 13 tackles for loss with seven sacks last season.

Akron's Win Total Odds: Over 3.5 (+100) Under 3.5 (-125)
