Akron vs. Gardner-Webb
Kickoff: Noon, InfoCision Stadium, Akron.
Radio: WARF AM/1350.
Notable: Akron (0-1) gets a welcome tuneup before road games at Kentucky and Indiana. The Zips defense forced three turnovers in last weekend's 29-3 loss to Syracuse and should be more than enough to keep Gardner-Webb (1-0) under control. G-W is without several injured skill position players. Akron had 166 yards of total offense in the opener. G-W, located about 40 miles from Charlotte, N.C., plays in the Big South and is 0-2 lifetime against MAC competition.

Now the Golden Flashes step up in class to see if they have enough offense to be competitive with Boston College (1-0) out of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Kent's defense held Murray State to minus-65 yards rushing.
Next for KSU: Sept. 18 at Penn State, noon.
Bowling Green at Tulsa
Kickoff: 7 p.m., Chapman Stadium, Tulsa, Okla.
Notable: Both teams are 0-1. Tulsa lost a stunner at East Carolina, 51-49, when ECU completed a Hail Mary. The Hurricanes rely on QB G.J. Kinne, who was 28-of-43 for 399 yards and five TDs last week. BG QB Matt Schilz was 22-of-43 for 221 yards and a touchdown in a 30-27 loss to Troy. Willie Geter had a strong day in the loss with 93 yards rushing and a TD.

Next for Miami: Sept. 18 vs. Colorado State, 3:30 p.m.
Toledo at Ohio University
Kickoff: 7 p.m., Peden Stadium, Athens, Ohio.
Notable: Quarterback play will be the focus as OU (1-0) plans to play at least two QBs, Boo Jackson and Phil Bates. Toledo (0-1), which lost to Arizona last week, will try to get rookie QB starter Austin Dantin and its entire offense (183 yards in the opener) on track.
Next for OU: Sept. 18 at Ohio State, noon.
