I think this group of Zips will show some grit and bounce back big. Zips 45 BG 27

Now that Kent has a pulse, this will be a tough game. I've lost all hope that Finley will complete 65%, but at least I hope for no stupid mistakes. I think the D will continue to shine, and the O will score just enough. Zips 24 -- Flashes 17

Of course, we will get homered by the BIG ref's, but I think we have enough depth to keep the pace fast. I'm no BB guru, but from what I've seen, I think we will be a match up problem for them as they are for us. Young in particular sticks to his man like glue. The whole D has been great. I think it will come down to shooting. Can we make a decent shooting %? Our chance for a V? I would say slim, but not none. GO ZIPS

I missed that comment, but I didn't miss the A flag flying when I approached the stadium. It was great to be welcomed by the large Budler contingent.

I checked out Creighton's presser. They are focused on gaining some revenge tonight. Weather is great right now; should be no factor for the match. My wife and I are making the 2 hour drive to Omaha; hope to see a few other Zips there.

As catdaddy pointed out, ANYthing can happen in the MAC. Bulls struggling rushing the passer could lead Finley into a great game passing. This week he will exceed 65%. Zips 38 - Bulls 27

Has the game been canceled this week?

This shows that anything can happen in the MAC. Pre snap penalties must be eliminated. I will say the call last week on our DT was poor. By rule motion by the DT that causes the O to react is OK; however just pointing out that motion is not the type of reaction the rule intended. The other 5 calls were on us. Finley must hit at least 65%. Drops happen; just like catches on balls thrown well behind receivers. This game is winnable. I'm always hopeful. Zips win. exit322, why don't you just take the off ramp to relieve your suffering?

With Finn back, coach T better have some magic to limit Finn. I don't think we win a shoot out. I would try to control the ball and take advantage of every opportunity. Gant has racked up big numbers without the 70 yard runs; so, I'm encouraged. Will Finley hit 65%+? Since these guys bounced back mentally from an embarrassing beating, I look for our guys to keep that mental edge. Zips. 24/ Red Birdies 20

Thanks Mark. I looked on GO ZIPS site and didn't find this episode.

I guess Joe and Joe came to that conclusion and canceled the show this week. ?

If Finley was still nursing an injury from the Duke game, why weren't the back ups better prepared? Toledo might have the best D in the MAC. A single dimension O was going to go no where. Our offensive genius could have come up with a back up plan to use Roggow and Johnson. Even at the same time. 👹

Unless Finley was injured Saturday, Johnson and Roggow should have been much better prepared for action. I haven't looked for Morehead's post game comments, but I am eagerly waiting for Zips Weekly. Will they have any positive footage to show? Was there any chance that we brought home Toledo's 3rd or 4th team QB to give us some hope?

Keys to the game: Finley finally bests 65% passing The Dukes boasted a stout veteran front 7 that we man handled. The Rockets will be better, but we will still run the ball effectively keeping their D honest. When we get them behind the chains, we need to rush 5. No stupid penalties! Go Zips.

Looking at the Toledo game thread, I wonder if there will be anyone left to care.
