When the Zips won the National Title in Santa Barbara I met Doc Nash (and sadly didn't know who he was at the time - did get a nice photo with him though). What a game to win on a night honoring him.

For real. Should be coming any day now if it is. So hard to get information on this team.

Rules only apply to programs like Akron, not programs like LSU or Michigan.

True an Akron team would never have an ineligible player working with the team this close to the season

My understanding is that it means the game wasn't as bad as the score looks. Even though it can also be said the score was closer than the game actually was since we scored two garbage time TDs to close the gap.

I had no idea either so I looked it up: Net success rate in college football is an advanced analytics metric that measures a team's offensive success rate minus its defensive success rate, showing which team performed more efficiently on a play-by-down basis. What is "Success Rate"? Before calculating the net version, college football analysts define whether an individual play "succeeds" based on down and distance to keep the chains moving: 1st Down: Gains at least 50% (or 40% in some models) of the yards needed. 2nd Down: Gains at least 70% (or 60%) of the yards needed. 3rd & 4th Down: Gains 100% of the yards needed to get a first down or score a touchdown. How Net Success Rate Works Formula: Offensive Success Rate % – Defensive Success Rate % Meaning: A positive net success rate means your offense gained "success" on a higher percentage of plays than your defense allowed to the opponent. Value: It strips out the "noise" of rare, high-variance plays (like a lucky 80-yard broken tackle touchdown or a freak turnover) to reveal which team actually won the fundamental battle of consistent down-to-down execution. Now I still have no idea. 😂

Which is why I will still root for Michigan vs. Ohio State - the Suckeyes fan base is a miserable one and it's hilarious to see them deal with failure.
