How They Play · 2025Akron fields a struggling offense behind a solid, gives up the big play defense.
Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.
Akron reads strongest in success rate allowed (top 42%) and passing epa allowed (top 42%); the crux lives in epa / play, where Akron sits at the 12th percentile.

Home-field advantage · Akron · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Akron is worth +3.2 points more at home than on the road.
Middle of FBS, 34th percentile of 133 programs
20% at home, 14% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (7–28 home, 7–43 away). Interval ±4.2.
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge — per-team modelling was tested and did not survive scrutiny (why) — and the books use about 3. Against the closing line, Akron has beaten the number by −1.3 more at home than away over 73 games — inside the ±6.9 that many games can resolve. Results here cannot tell the flat number apart from the building, and that is the honest reading of nearly every FBS stadium.
InfoCision Stadium seats 30,000 and has averaged 27% full (8,202, 22 games reported). Visitors get here easily: a median 193 miles trip since 2018, the 7th-shortest of 135 FBS venues. There is no travel penalty on visitors here either way. 22% of the 2026 roster (28 of 127 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 42 home games since 2018.

Pass-depth identity
What this team throws, and gives up, by depth.
On short throws (≤19 air yards), Akron’s passing game completes a completion rate above the FBS mean (75.8% vs 68.3% league-wide, shrunk toward the mean for its 61-play sample) — most aggressive underneath, 41 of 41 qualifying offenses.
We won’t show a deep-ball (20+ air yards) leaderboard here, on either side of the ball: even a full season of charted plays gives most teams well under 30 deep attempts — too thin to tell a real tendency from noise, so we won’t guess. Same refusal for yards-after-catch allowed and where a team’s attempts land by zone: both measured and both came back statistically indistinguishable from season-to-season noise.
