Ohio State football: What to know about the Akron Zips

Akron, OH

Ohio State opens its 2024 football season against the struggling Akron Zips, who are coming off two consecutive 2-10 seasons under head coach Joe Moorhead. The Buckeyes are heavily favored, and expectations are high for a decisive victory following Akron's woeful offensive performance, which ranked near the bottom in college football in 2023. Akron's only victories last season were against an FCS team and Kent State, and they’ve not shown competitiveness in the MAC. The Zips’ defense is stronger relative to their offense, although still ranked in the bottom half of college football. The matchup marks an opportunity for Ohio State to start the season with a statement win.

Louisiana State

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
