Akron made a bowl game under Terry Bowden, even though they were 3-5 at one point this season. A victory would be big for the seniors, as it would make five straight seasons with a winning record for Utah State.

The bowl game was the final one on the Utah State sidelines for offensive coordinator Josh Heupel, who was hired as Mizzou’s offensive coordinator earlier this month. The Zips should have some experience to utilize, though, with head coach Bowden and his top assistant, Chuck Amato. This is an area where the Akron offense has an edge with running back Conor Hundley and a mobile quarterback in Tommy Woodson. He combined for 19 scores this season and will need to be more accurate in the passing game than his 53 percent for the year. Utah State’s run game wasn’t overpowering but did average almost 170 yards per game. Akron Zips recorded 193.8 passing yards and 172.2 rushing yards while allowed 238.8 passing yards and 89.8 russhing yards with turnover differential of -0.7. Andersen was Utah State’s coach from 2009 to 2012 before taking the job at Wisconsin. The Aggies field general passed for 1,470 yards, 14 touchdowns and three interceptions while rushing for 348 yards and three touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Hunter Sharp leads the team in receptions (60) and recorded a total of 746 yards and eight touchdowns. Utah State is 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games coming off a game where the squad allowed more than 40 points in their previous game but USU is a porous 0-4 ATS in their last four overall games when facing a team with a winning record. “We want to be a bowl team – that’s a standard that’s sunk in that we don’t want anyone who plays here in the future to take away from this program”.
