- Minnesota is a heavy favorite (23.5 points) hosting Akron at Huntington Bank Stadium on Sept. 19 — both teams enter 1-1, so it’s a chance for momentum early in the season.
- QB storyline: Akron’s redshirt freshman Cibastian Broughton is a dual-threat (338 passing yards, 4 TDs, team-leading rusher) while Minnesota’s Drake Lindsey has piled up yards (543) but just one TD so far.
- Watch the edges — Minnesota’s Tracy is a game-changer on special teams (two return TDs) and Akron’s passing attack is ultra-efficient (84.8% completion rate, second in FBS).
