Zips will win soundly in this game by at least14 points.  It will be a total team effort with solid running by Dollard and Knight.  I am hoping the freshmen Childs and Norells get a handoff or two to get some experience.  I expect a group receiving effort by Stewart, Grimes, Mathison and Qualls, and hopefully others that will catch balls from Gibson.  The young OL will rebound with a solid effort.  I am looking for the DL to play neutral, not great, but not as bad as they have been playing.  And, Bubba will have a career day of 20 tackles.  The DBs will also have a neutral day, making some plays and getting  beat on some plays.  Smigel and Romenick will be clutch.  This game will set the stage for 4-5 wins next year and 9 wins in 2022.

I really hope you are right. It's certainly possible. My expectations for the upcoming years are also very similar to yours.

Good Lord! I love this description of the game. If this happens Big Jim I owe you a beer ..... or three, four, five, whatever. We will have a lot to celebrate. A win would feel real good.

FYI, for each previous Akron game this year, I picked the Zips to lose by greater than 20.  So, it is not like I pick the Zips to win each game.  However, looking at the various scores of the MAC games, I have a mix of optimism and confidence in a solid victory.  Also, at some point, the football gods need to step in and help out Akron.  I hope I am correct, but if BGSU wins big, we are in deep trouble and should be rated 127th.

A very solid prediction.  I expect this to result in growth that will result in several wins next year and many in 2022.

You are on! I will provide the Warsteiner and you keep the W's coming, next year. I'm not holding you to a miracle W over Buffalo. Let's savor this win for now.
