AKRON, Ohio – Tuesday marked the first two-a-day in The University of Akron football team's preseason training camp. The Zips held a pair of two-hour morning and night workouts at InfoCision Stadium – Summa Field.
The morning session was the second-straight for the squad in full pads and the group went in half pads in the evening. Much of the day's emphasis was on third down situations.
