Summary
Akron will hand Marty Whims II control of its offense for the opening series against Robert Morris after he won the program’s Offensive Coordinator of the Game promotion.
A 20-play script was built with coach Joe Moorhead during the week, and Whims is set to call the start of the 3:30 p.m. ET game on ESPN+.
Nick Saban used ESPN’s "College GameDay" to offer Whims a simple plan: get calls in early, run the ball, stay ahead of the sticks and, if needed, try a flea flicker.
The promotion emerged as one of Week 2’s lighter storylines on a Saturday otherwise led by No. 1 Ohio State at No. 4 Texas and other early playoff-shaping matchups.
