  1. The line opened at 22½, it's at 24½ on some sites. Fearless Forecast™: Dollard breaks a late run for a TD, and the Zips cover.

  2. I know these guys are not ready. But, give them 4-5 plays a game to understand the speed of the game. Also, that will help them work harder in the weight room and get ready for next year. It will also give a brief breather to the starters while you are prepping for future success, and it is not at the expense of current success.

  3. 22.5/24.5!!? This a rivalry game. In the MAC. This game won't be decided until the final buzzer. FF: Both teams score with a trick play.

  4. DL is young, but it needs to play Brendan Smith and Bryce Wilson in addition to the players listed above. Smith put on 35 lb from last year and is ready to contribute. Maybe rotate in Julius Hawkings. I agree that Logan Hawkins needs to be in the mix. I support your linebacker analysis, but I think they need to get some minutes for Juan Jarett and Michael Snowden. with the rules this year, they will not be charged a year of eligibility. Give them some playing time.

  5. I picked us for the win simply because I couldn't bring myself to vote for a 21+ Kent win. I was hoping for rain to slow down Kent's offense, but no such luck. It is only scheduled to be 35 degrees at kickoff, so maybe that will slow their passing attack a little bit? Crum's awfully good. Hopefully we can continue to run the ball successfully and keep Kent's offense off the field/our D fresh/run clock. So many advantages to being able to run the football. I've already mentioned how much I'm enjoying watching our OL develop. But our DL is awfully young too. DL getting the most PT are #11 Nazir Sy - R-Sophomore #97 Janirr Wade - true Freshman (don't believe he played in game #1 - made a difference) #67 Logan Hawkins - R-Sophomore (don't believe he played in game #1 - made a difference), and #94 John Mitchell - Senior (Senior Ja'Quize Cross started Week 1 but didn't play last week.) A freshman who hasn't played yet but whom I'm excited to see on the DL is Deacon Allen. He's listed as 6-1, 290 and was a state-ranked wrestler in high school. I like wrestlers - they know how to use leverage & have good balance. Our starting LB's also have a couple/few more years to reach full potential: Bubba - R-Junior (I'm digging the fact this year doesn't count against eligibility) Brandon Bischof - Junior Ryan McClain - Junior, and Julian Richardson - Sophomore Two linebackers I'd like to see more of are R-Soph. Reggie Corner (undersized but a natural baller) and R-Freshman Quevan Lawson - one of our higher rated recruits and has great size at 6-5, 240. (I haven't seen Quevan at all - I'm thinking he's probably sick.)

  6. Odds are not in our favor but I can’t pick anything other than a Zips win against Kent. Hopefully are running game keeps rolling to keep Kent’s offense off the field & maybe Crum will play Crummy ??

  7. Game moved to 8:00 on ESPN. Ohio -v- Miami cancelled due to COVID-19 issues w/ OU. Um... if OU has issues & we played them just last week... ?

  8. These Tuesday night games sneak up on you. Only 2 more days till game day! Kent is playing really well right now. But if our OL continues to play well & we can win time of possession rushing the ball, we can hang with anyone.

  9. There is symbiosis among universities and their cities/towns, so this is great to see: https://www.bestcities.org/rankings/americas-best-cities/ Akron, OH #92 behind Columbus, Cincinnati, and Cleveland, but ahead of Dayton. Toledo didn't make the list.

  10. Clickbait like this is always interesting. I spent most of my adult life traveling for work and I can tell you Akron is better than half of the cities ahead of them....probably more. I moved away 14 years ago after living there almost 20 years after high school. Anyone who lives in northeast Ohio and tells you they don't like it because it is boring is a boring person. It's a great place to live and I hope the people who live there know that.
