I agree, that was a terrible call but one of many.

I thought we could have boxed out a little better against their height. Need to put a butt in their gut to keep them off the boards. However, I still thought we played great and if we play this well against other teams we should be very good this year.

That is one of the weakest calls all night. Perdue has been pushing off all night to create a shot.

He was yelling at the refs: You are better than that. A polite way of saying we are getting homered and almost every call has gone against the Zips.

I think we played as well as we can and we are down 13 points. I just do not know if we can play that well in the 2nd half so prepared to be blown out.

We got 2 foul shots!!! We got 2 foul shots!!! We got 2 foul shots!!!!

This is the best Akron team I have seen against a quality opponent. Groce has them ready to play. Only down by 5. I am not sure we can play this well for 40 minutes but really impressed with the ball movement, hustle, and breakouts. Tevari looks like he can play with these guys and Scott has hit some great shots.

I hope I am not banned from this board but you have to give Kent State credit. They have been absolutely terrible the last few years and they are a decent team. This was a battle of 2 evenly matched teams and Kent executed in overtime and we did not. They scored on their first play in overtime and we lost 4 yards and started behind the chains. After Akron came back from that large deficit in the 4th quarter it was a gut punch to lose this game. However, it was an entertaining game.

That targeting call is big because with can pooch it and try to recover on nail it to the end zone and force them to march the field.

As well as we have been running the ball, I am suprised we could not score a touchdown on the ground. Did not like that pass on 3rd down.

I still say this game is not over. We need a three and out. I do not understand why we did not punt the ball before the end of the quarter when we had the win. The special teams miscue set up the last Kent touchdown. We finally got some calls from the refs on the roughing the passer and the pass interference. We need the d to step up. How about a turnover?

That no call on the obvious pass interference and then the missed field goal just changed the momentum of the game. However, the Zips have dominated and can come back. Turnovers have really helped Kent.

They had overloaded that side. Too easy. We needed another defender on that side.

My prediction is that we get called for pass interference on a play that was not that egregious.

This is one of the better Akron Kent game with different ebbs and flows. Not sure what our defensive back was doing on that Kent touchdown watching the QB and letting his man run past him. Akron has 2 mistakes leading to 2 Kent touchdowns. Our running game has been strong with some really long third down gains. Need a touchdown to open the half. Finley has thrown some nice balls.
