Thanks for the photos Dr Z.

The two TD running plays are very revealing. Well conceptualized and executed plays. The Zips were able to use their big guys to move Pitt's big guys, leaving the smaller guys on Pitt's defense to deal with a much bigger player. Advantage Zips. TD Zips!

Hilltopper and I were sitting through a relative's wedding ceremony conveniently scheduled right on top of this game. We sneaked as many quick peeks at our smartphones as we could under the disapproving eyes of our spouses. I'm sure that Hilltopper appreciates seeing these nice images as much as I do.

Thanks for all the kind words from everyone. I'm glad to read the images are appreciated, makes the effort worth it. I wish every ZN member could have been in the end zone celebrating with the team after the game. I didn't capture the excitement as well as one could have, but I hope fans get the idea. I think the Akron media department was on the field filming it, so maybe fans will get to see it.

PS You can watch the replay here, with the proper id.

This one is by David Dermer is my favorite. I can read a lot into this one, and feel the emotion.

Thirteen more photos by Keith Srakocic can be found in this gallery.

Excellent work on your photos, Dr Z!!! You captured exciting moments with great clarity.

Of course, the Beacon’s caption for this one refers to Justin March as Joe MacNamara :lol:

Jatavis not only on Pitt's watch list this year, he is on the Rotary Lombardi Award Watch List as well.

Jatavis Brown (Belle Glade, Fla.) has been named to the Watch List for the 2015 Rotary Lombardi Award, the Houston Sports Authority announced on Tuesday. The Rotary Lombardi Watch List contains 146 delegates and will be periodically updated and revised through the conclusion of the voting to determine the 12 semifinalists for 2015. Eligibility for the Rotary Lombardi Award is limited to down linemen, either on offense or defense, or linebackers who set up no farther than five yards deep from the line of scrimmage.
