OFFENSE
QUARTERBACK POSSIBILITIES
All three quarterbacks have seen action so far; each brings a different strength to the Zips’ offense.
Sophomore Thomas Woodson, who saw action in eight games with two starts as a redshirt freshman
last fall, rushed three times for 30 yards at No. 19 Oklahoma. He played on a short-yardage play
against Pitt but recorded no stats. In the win over Savannah State, Woodson came off the bench and
guided the Zips to the endzone. He finished the game 12-of-20 for 207 yards and a touchdown. He
also rushed 11 times for 63 yards and a touchdown.
In the win at Louisiana, Woodson moved into the starting role. He finished the game at 13-of-29 for
238 yards and a career-best two touchdowns. His 72-yard TD pass to Jerome Lane was a career-long.
He was also the Zips’ leading rusher, finishing with a career-high 93 yards and 14-yard touchdown on
eight carries. For his efforts, Woodson was selected as the Zips’ Student-Athlete of the Week, presented
by The University of Akron, Ohio’s Polytechnic University, and the College Sports Madness MAC Offensive Player of the Week. In the MAC opener against Ohio, Woodson went 18-of-38 231 yards. In the
MAC win at Eastern Michigan, had a career-high four touchdown passes, all in the first half. He finished
14-of-22 for 222 yards en route to Zips’ Student-Athlete of the Week honors again. Against Bowling
Green, Woodson went 13-for-28 for 91 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 54 yards. Against
Central Michigan, he was 22-of-26 for 252 yards and a touchdown.
After eight games, Woodson is the Zips’ top quarterback, going 92-of-174 for 1,241 yards and nine
touchdowns in five starts. He stands second in rushing with 302 yards and two touchdowns on 70
carries.
Senior QB Kyle Pohl, who handled duties under center for the last two seasons, is No. 4 on the career
passing chart with 5,023 yards. At No. 19 Oklahoma, he came off the bench and led the Zips under
center, going 6-of-17 for 88 yards. Against Pitt, Pohl went 3-of-8 for 34 yards. He missed the Savannah
State game with an injury. Pohl returned to action in the win at Louisiana, playing in the fourth quarter.
Against Bowling Green, he went 2-for-2 for 13 yards.
In fiver games, Pohl is 11-of-27 for 135 yards.
Sophomore newcomer Tra’Von Chapman, who waited a year for his shot, received the starting nod
in the first three contests. A transfer from Pitt, he challenged returner Pohl through spring and training
camp drills. The first-team All-Ohio standout set the single-season records for passing yards (2,901),
touchdown passes (33), and total offense (3,650) as a senior at Kent Roosevelt HS.

11 rushes for 53 yards.
DON’T FORGET ABOUT CODY
On the roster, he’s listed as the starting nose tackle, but don’t let his size or agility fool you. Senior
captain Cody Grice can run.
Used last season in short-yardage situations, Grice has reprised his role as short-yardage fullback. In
the win over Savannah State, he rushed for five times for seven yards and career-high three touchdowns, all in the first half. Grice ranks No. 11 nationally this week in scoring (18.0) and No. 13 in

LONG SNAPPER’S BIG MOVE
In Akron’s 35-14 win at Louisiana, sophomore LS Michael Buddenberg recorded his first stat as
he recovered a Louisiana fumble following a punt in the second quarter. The recovery gave the Zips
the ball back to close out the first half and take away the Cajuns’ opportunity to tie the game before
halftime. He was tabbed the Mid-American Conference Special Teams Player of the Week for the East
Division on Sept. 28.
RETURN THIS

Last season, Bowden led UA to its second-straight 5-7 record overall and a 3-5 mark
against the MAC. He led the Zips to their first win over a BCS/Power 5 opponent since
2008, downing Pittsburgh, 21-10, at Heinz Field on Sept. 27. The win was the first for
Akron over an ACC program since UA’s 20-17 win at NC State on Sept. 9, 2006. The 5-7
record marked the first time since the 2005 and 2006 seasons that the Zips had posted
back-to-back campaigns with five or more victories (7-6 in 2005, 5-7 in 2006).
Four Zips earned All-Mid-American Conference honors in 2014, with junior linebacker
Jatavis Brown and junior nose tackle Cody Grice named first-team All-MAC. Senior defensive lineman Nordly Capi and junior punter Zach Paul earned second-team honors.
In addition to the All-MAC honors, nine Zips were named Academic All-MAC, led by
three-time honoree Robert Stein. The nine honorees marked the third straight season
with nine or more Academic All-MAC selections.
In 2013, Bowden led UA to its highest win total since 2008 by going 5-7 overall and 4-4
against the MAC, as well as ending the year by winning three straight and four of its last
five games. The Zips went 3-3 at home, including a 16-7 victory over neighborhood rival

1977-78 Football (West Virginia)
Kent State to regain possession of the coveted wooden Wagon Wheel.
Additionally in 2013, seven players were named All-MAC, highlighted by first-team selection then-sophomore linebacker Jatavis Brown – the first Zip named to the first team
since Bryan Wagner in 2011.
In 2012, Bowden, serving as offensive coordinator, ushered in a spread offense that
resulted in an aerial attack responsible for a school-record and MAC season-high 30
passing touchdowns. The offense, which was conducted in a hurry-up no-huddle style,
was led by fifth-year senior transfer quarterback Dalton Williams, who set the program’s
single-season record for touchdown passes (25) and pass completions (326-for-522),
while compiling the third most passing yards (3,387) in a season in school history.
Williams’ arm was complimented by sophomore running back Jawon Chisholm’s 953
yards rushing on the strength of 180 carries and senior receiver Marquelo Suel’s teamhigh 820 receiving yards off 76 catches. Suel’s receptions were the second most in a
single season in program history and earned him a place on the All-MAC Team.
The UA offense finished 2012 ranked first in the MAC and 16th nationally in passing
(312.8 ypg), and sixth in the league and 45th in the country in total offense (427.2 ypg).
Akron’s 5,126 yards of total offense ranked sixth in the MAC and 61st nationally, and
was the second most in a season in program history, behind the 2003 squad’s 5,643.
Bowden, who served as a studio analyst and color commentator with ABC Sports’ college football for 10 years, was the head coach at Auburn from 1993-98 and spent the
three seasons prior to coming to Akron at Division II North Alabama.
Prior to his stint at Auburn, Bowden built two programs from the ground up as head
coach at Salem College (W.Va.) and Samford University (Ala.). When he took the job at
Salem in 1983 he became the nation’s youngest head coach in college football at age 26.
Bowden, 59 (born Feb. 25, 1956), was an assistant coach at Akron in 1986 under then
Zips’ head coach Gerry Faust.
Bowden is a member of one of the most famous and successful college football coaching families. His father, Bobby Bowden, turned Florida State into a national champion
and his 389 collegiate wins rank second in Division I history.
As a student-athlete at West Virginia, Bowden lettered two years as a running back
(1977-78), held a 3.65 grade-point average in accounting, the highest GPA on the football team, and graduated Magna Cum Laude.
He did post graduate work at Oxford University in England, and earned a Juris Doctorate
from the Florida State School of Law in 1982, while a graduate assistant coach with the
Seminoles.
Bowden has five daughters (Tera, Jordan, Erin, Cori and Jamie) and one son (Terry, Jr.).
He is one of 59 coaches at FBS schools that vote in the USA Today Top 25 poll.
