What happened
Marty Whims II got to experience the joy and frustration of being the offensive coordinator for a Football Bowl Subdivision team on Saturday. Akron was moving the ball on its first possession against Robert Morris when wide receiver Marcel Williams fumbled at the Colonials’ 37-yard line. Whims got to call plays as part of Akron’s “Offensive Coordinator of the Game” for its home opener.
