A quick preview of this weekend's IU-Akron football matchup. Akron is...not good. Indiana isn't great, but they're better than the Zips, and this matchup could give IU a big confidence boost heading into a critical four-game stretch. We talk about the numbers behind the game, some of the areas IU needs to focus on improving, and what the ideal outcome for the Hoosiers would be.

Also discussed: IU returning to the black uniforms for the first time in over 25 years. And the folly of promotion/relegation in college sports.
