AKRON, Ohio (WOIO) - The Akron Zips on Saturday put a unique twist on the “turnover chain” during their win against Morgan State: the “Turnover Tire”.

The Zips donned the tire, paying homage to the Rubber City, after their defense caused an interception.

The Zips pulled out the celebration a second time following their game-changing stop in the fourth quarter.

The Zips ended up winning the game with a final score of 24-21.

However, their celebration went viral before all was said and done.
