The final score doesn't even begin to indicate how total an ass kicking this was. UC dominated every phase of the ball game from start to finish. Akron didn't begin to seriously drive the ball until the second half when UC went with a predominately second team defense to start the second half. That doesn't mean that there weren't some statistical oddities on the night. Check the box score.
