Blue & Gold

Good thread. I'm a bit frustrated with this too. Frustration with Zips' athletics... Why do I even let myself care?

No, TC5 was definitely a QB recruit @ Pitt. He played locally @ K.e.nt Roosevelt & put up amazing statistics in high school, but... I saw him play a couple of times and I can honestly say I wasn't overwhelmed. He was clearly a physical specimen & a superior athlete. But I wasn't impressed with either his throwing accuracy or his decision making - in high school where the game is played much more slowly. Again, he did put up fantastic stats, but his 4-star rating must have been due to potential? On a handful of occasions I remember thinking, "Oooh, that'd get picked off in college..." "Oooh, that'd get picked in college..." "Oooh, that'd get picked in college..." What I don't understand is how I can see that, but men who know so much more about football than I do & have so much more experience than I do thought/think differently. Edit: I think the Zips coaching staff was hoping against hope that they had caught lightning in a bottle with TC5. It just really hasn't worked out that way. Hopefully we can use him differently next year, i.e., position change.

Thanks, Dr. Z! Look forward to these every week!

If Woody's done the season's done. I'm probably gonna go to the JAR & watch the basketball team take on Ga. Southern instead of watching our final fb game vs. OU.

Good call by johnnyzip84

We're just utterly decimated by injury.

Woody's in there b/c the trainer was looking at Tra'Von's shoulder & neck on the sideline.

Good grief.

UG5 w huge behind the LOS tackle on 3rd down!

Uh, oh. Bryce Jones shook up & DeAndre Scott walks gingerly off the field. Good grief.

Deon'Tae Moore banged up again. Just respect him for trying to battle in there.

BG OL was dragging the BG RB! Should have been a flag.

TD TC5!!!

GT just tweeted Woody's doubtful for the rest of the game. Sickening.

I'm glad I'm one of the few posting. Means the rest of you are at the game. Good.

Tra'Von runs & gets destroyed. He plays like this level moves too fast for him.

7-0 BG We haven't crossed mid-field yet.

TD BG. BG 1-8 If we lose this I'm gonna be sick for a week

Our best OL

^^Offensive adjustment? I'll stop you right there.

Crap!! Forget about bowl eligibility if Woody's out. Our D can't win the game for us.

Just tuned in & no Woody?! Did Woody play the first series?

http://www.ohio.com/sports/zips/university-of-akron-football-zips-need-strong-finish-to-keep-postseason-hopes-alive-1.725524 Ball could return Just when it looked like Zips running back Warren Ball was going to live up to all the potential that arrived with him when he transferred from Ohio State, an injury cost him his senior season. According to sources, however, Ball could apply for a medical hardship waiver from the NCAA to get back a season of eligibility. If granted, it certainly would be good news for the Zips in 2017.
