Ohio State Vs. Akron Score: Live Game Updates, College Football Scores, NCAA Top 25 Highlights

No. 2 Ohio State opened its much-anticipated 2024 season with a dominant 52-3 win against Akron. The Buckeyes have now won each of their last 53 games against in-state foes in a streak dating all the way back to 1921. 

It wasn't a complete performance for the Buckeyes, though. They held just a 17-3 lead at halftime while the offense struggled to find its footing. Akron's lack of depth, and Ohio State's surplus of talent, made a difference in the second half, as the Buckeyes roared ahead for 35 points over the final two quarters.

Ohio State Football Vs Akron: Five Observations Halftime Review

Will Howard has had flashes of brilliance with some great mobility and elite accuracy, but he has also looked lost at times. Again, this is not something to panic about because it's his first game starting for Ohio State and his first time playing in The Shoe, but it is something of note. You would expect a player with as much experience as Howard to light up a lowly MAC squad.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Whose house? Coogs' house!

The University of Houston's football team prepares to take on the UNLV Rebels to open up their 2024 regular season on Saturday evening.

Saturday will also mark Houston's second season in the Big 12 Conference, and the debut of UH football head coach, Willie Fritz, who is the reigning two-time American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. Fritz replaced Dana Holgerson, who was fired after five seasons at the coaching helm in November 2023.

UH senior Donovan Smith, who is a Las Vegas, Nevada native, was named the starting quarterback for the Cougar's football squad, and is looking forward to square off against the college football team in his hometown. The 22-year-old also started all 12 games in the 2023 regular season.

Frtiz is also impressed with Smith. From his energy and leadership to the ability to make every throw required, the senior is all the way back to 100% after labrum surgery.

In terms of the Coogs' history vs. UNLV, the team is 3-0.

UH's football season opener will take place at 6 p.M. On Saturday at TDECU Stadium.
