The football team was originally scheduled to play Akron at 6:30 p.m. today at InfoCision Stadium-Summa Field in Akron, Ohio, but a rain delay forced the players and fans to seek shelter with about six minutes of action left in the first quarter.

The game has recently resumed and can be seen on ESPN3.com.   Before stoppage, the game was scoreless, but Akron had the edge in total offensive yardage with 87 yards.  The Zips had a total of 90 offensive yards last week against Ohio State.

Owls’ junior running back Bernard Pierce had three rushes for 13 yards in the quarter before the delay.  The Owls had a total of 6 plays on offense for 23 yards.
