Quick recap and top performers

Amen brother! Can't wait for the Zips to drag home a Nebraska carcass in Week 14. Too bad Nebraska won't be able to pull off 5-wins. Who in the hell are they going to beat on their remaining schedule? Purdue...Minnesota...Illinois...Troy? LOVE seeing those Crybaby Nebraska fans eat a piece of humble-pie...personally would love for us to serve them one as well.

How could we have possibly competed with that juggernaut in Lincoln?

Hated our uni's today. If the blues were truly in Nebraska then I'll temper my dislike. One thing I hate is our white helmets have the Z and the number outlined. The inside of which is not filled in. If both were actually navy blue you could clearly see them from the stands. As they are now you can't make out either number or Z. They just look like marks on the side of the helmut. Would have much rather seen our gold helmets. Call me old fashion, but i wish we have a standard uni that was recognized by all as the Akron look.

I don't quite get some of these comments. Kato made good decisions and was accurate with the ball. If the issue is with the taunting, then I get that, but the play was fine. I think I have more of an issue with the run game than anything. I will concede there isn't much we can take from this game. I'll just say I'm glad it was our first one and I hope Morris has more durability than what was shown today. He has talent for sure, but looked shaken up every time he hit the ground. Williams looks like he's going to be a solid option in the slot this year. Defense stout as expected against these guys.

Anyone know what happened with the Navy jerseys? It was reported on Twitter that due to "logistics" they we're forced to bring these old jerseys out. Hopefully it wasn't the football teams fault or something money related. That would be embarrassing... Also hope this fixed soon. Nothing better than the classic gold helmet with navy jersey and gold pants. I really don't like the huge focus on blue and white lately with Zips sports.

I’m not ? % on this but since we went to a bowl game & wore blue the players where given those jerseys and from what I’ve heard the new ones haven’t come in yet. They took their team pictures in the same ugly white version of those jerseys, they got the whites back in time for Nebraska but still waiting on the blues

They said uniforms were locked somewhere in Wisconsin..."supply chain issues." My comments about Nelson were early on, when we ended the drive with a FG and he got the taunting penalty. This is not his first such penalty. The fumble in the backfield was on him, IMHO. He has a rocket of an arm and decisio-making is OK, but accuracy still needs work. I have an issue with the quantity of personal fouls he has racked up plus the report of him fighting in practice. Those are all selfish choices. Once...OK...give a kid a chance to grow up. He has had multiple if those type of penalties. That's not leadership. We were bitten by Woodson's selfishness and really left without a chance to win at the end of the season. I would hate to see the Zips get bit by the selfishness of another QB. If he cannot grow up, let's bench him and see if Ramart can handle himself with more maturity.

L.O.L. Colorado has finished last place in their division 5 out of the past 6 years. I pray to god they need us for a 6th win in week 14. Their savior true freshman QB is already out. Cry baby Nebraska fans who want to talk smack about us deserve. Happy Frost homecoming.

Sure...we will still win the MAC.

Google "1976 akron zips football team" to learn more about the only Zips team to win 10 games in a season.

I couldn't tell anything from watching this game. Still not overly confident in Kato. D looked good. But again, difficult to say...

Amen. He should have been in mid way through Q3 at least.

As much as I want to see MTB have a great year, he doesnt seem to be any better as a WR as he was before. We are set with Smith, Morris, Williams, and Stewart. I liked MTB better at TE/HB.

Sanchez at SiU-E....is a very good coach SIU-E....could be a more dangerous MAC opponent this year than Western Michigan I am glad that the zips play SIU-E late in October. Hopefully,the young zips will improve during the year. SIU-E plays Grand Canyon tomorrow....2 zip opponents and both are pretty good https://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/siue-shuts-out-wisconsin_aid44764

That still does not excuse the lack of focus. There is absolutely no excuse for that goal being allowed. 90 minutes of effort.....required every game. I know that this team has many young players but they have to focus.

I think it’s right next to the team shop?

There is much more to a college education than vocational training. In general, relative to someone with lesser education, a college graduate should be able to: 1) think independently, 2) work within a team, 3) learn throughout life, etc, etc, etc... Again, I am not opposed to cuts or consolidation of programs. It is the hasty way it was done and outside of the context of stable leadership and a clear vision for the future of the University. There is inconsistency in the statements put out about the motivation for the cuts that makes things even more suspect. I am not a partisan, and I actually abhor them. It's unfortunate, particularly as a fellow UA alum, that you find the need to make petty opposition rather than seeing it as a great loss to our common interest.
