I felt all along that Woodson had far more talent and physical ability than Pohl. When his "smarts" in effectively running the offense finally caught up, I'm sure glad that the coaching staff recognized it soon enough to resurrect our season. The Lafayette game had to be the game that solidified that status for the rest of the year.

He always seemed disinterested to me. Traylor-Bennett has received rave reviews at the TE/H-back position. I think we'll be better off this year at TE.

I watched the entire thing live, and I love how Keith always wears Akron gear when he's on TV to talk about LeBron. He even did it during his segments in the "More Than A Game" movie. He's always promoting the U of A. Gotta love it.

Woodson was named preseason fourth-team all mac for fans that like that sort of thing. I prefer that he quarterbacked the Zips to a bowl victory. I'm hoping for another one this year.

I think our QB situation is as good as, or better than anyone in the MAC. Woodson has proven he's a legit starting MAC QB. By all accounts, Chapman has had a great offseason and is ready to contribute in 2016. Kato was the highest rated recruit in the 2016 class. That's ok with me. I'm more concerned with linebackers.

I thought the same thing - come get your photo taken with the trophy.

There is no doubt Chapman struggled against Oklahoma but they were obviously one of the best defenses in the nation. Pitt was also quite good, much better than they were expected to be with the new QB. Where Chapman failed was against Savanah St. Remember that he started that game and the offense struggled into the second quarter. The Zips were actually down before coach Bowden decided to bench Chapman and go to Woodson. He would have gone to Pohl but if you recall he had another concussion the prior week against Pitt so he could not play. Chapman came back in the 4th quarter but his destiny the remainder of the year was as backup, same for Pohl when he returned from injury. What surprised me about Chapman is how many chances he got. He seemed to be a deer in the headlights most of the time he played. Without pressure he did ok (4th quarter against Savanah St) but you got to get it done against Ohio and Bowling Green if you are going to go anywhere. From my perspective, last year is in the books but Pohl should have started against Oklahoma. He was the 5th year Senior and had run the team for much of the prior two seasons. He was effective as a QB and had played well against big teams. He had a few bad outings but also did not have the consistency of receivers catching the balls like he should have. The O line gelling last year was also something Woodson would end up benefitting from that Pohl did not have much benefit from. The 5 game win streak was something very good but our offense played to the competition in that period playing well against good competition and down to the weak competition. It was definitely the defense that pushed out team to the top. Overall the result ended up good but it was nip and tuck all the way with games that have should have been convincing winners ending up being close. Based on how we closed the season Woody should be the starter and I think he is that based on coach's comments. As for QB's behind them, who knows what is there as two have left, one let go and another taking a scholly at an FCS school like Dalton Easton did a few years before. Anybody think the new QB coming in from South Florida have anything to offer? I heard he was only like 175 lbs or so. There may be one or two more to fill out the roster but I think we are thin underneath at QB now.

Before getting too wrapped up in "what about next season", perhaps we should live in the moment & enjoy and savor this. It's been a looooooong time coming and is so sweet in the way it happened...home town boy delivers and coming back from 3-1 deficit among others. THANKS LEBRON and the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS.
