I don’t have much to say about this one. The score line should have been better, but we hurt ourselves. I’m hoping we are relatively healthy for next week. QB: Without CBs legs, our run game basically went out the window. Roggow made some nice throws, but the offense shifted to a more traditional setup with Roggow running the show. RB: There weren’t that many opportunities and even less running room. Gant also fumbled once. WR/TE: The drops were drive killers. Can’t have those and expect to beat/compete with many teams. OL: The line couldn’t get consistent push in the run game and allowed pressure 31% of the time according to PFF. DL: I’m not sure what Abor’s status is, but he was a menace lined up both inside and out. Having Durham on the opposite side made a difference. Frazier and Kavals continue to progress. LB: Johnson and Nunoo were really good and easily had their best games as Zips. DB: Our nicklebacks and safties struggled, as did most cornerbacks not named White. I’m guessing White will miss at least several weeks from here. Galloway did seem to have some good snaps today, so we’ll see if he gets more action next week. ST: Patrick’s blunder came at a tough time and basically sealed any chance of making this a competitive contest. Castle had a solid day punting the ball with a long of 52 and three downed inside the 20. QB: Broughton Roggow Beals RB: Gant Patrick Williams WR: Mason Louis Hilburn WR: Hills Burris WR: Williams Myers TE: Alexander Cravaack Hook LT: Slayden Shor LG: Smith Falkner C Lyons Mobley RG: Hampton Archer RT: Jones Shor DE: Abor Kavals Watkins DT: Mixon Kavals Davis Ross-Graves DT: Hull Williams Brown-Demery DE: Frazier Kavals Watkins LB: Johnson Hocker LB: Nunoo Curtis NB: Branch Moss CB: Galloway White CB: Thomas Newsome S: Flowers Hunter Somerville S: Davis Hunter Top Rated Offense (15 snap minimum): QB - Broughton C - Lyons RT - Jones RB - Gant RB - Patrick Top Rated Defense (15 snap minimum): DE - Abor LB - Johnson DE - Durham DE - Frazier LB - Nunno

I look at these 3 games (maybe 4, unfortunately) as essentially a preseason. Through the first 3, outcome is exactly as expected. Try to look more for the strengths/weaknesses of the team than get too worked up on results when the P4 teams are spending probably something like 200x+ on roster than we are spending. That isn’t even considering operating budget issues. Aside from some correctible mistakes (stupid decisions), I feel our team will stack up pretty well in conference play just about everywhere aside from our defensive backfield. White’s injury obviously did not look good and no other corner has really shown much to me so far. Hopefully Abor is able to come back sooner rather than later, but not being dressed for the 2nd half is concerning . He’s a difference maker. Hopefully CB is okay. I noticed the brace off in the 2nd half. With that said, I’m not really clear whether our team is better with him at QB or Roggow. Roggow definitely stretches the field more, while CB is a dual threat. Seems very accurate, but we never really seemed to try to stretch the field with him. At the very least, it seems like we have 2 competent options at the position.

Fumbles, missed field goals, conservative play…all added up to a massive choke. Since my son recently graduated from UC, we had a good time.😃

Looks like an all time choke job,

Holy Toledo

I’d argue the Zips haven’t looked good in most of their games despite them finding ways to win. Next Friday could be rough.

That may have been part of the problem last night. You can't be playing Georgetown in your head while playing Butler in reality. One game at a time.

That Zips' performance was simply NOT good enough. Hoyas are licking their chops.

We didn't get beat that badly by better talent. Big mistakes were the difference between this game being competitive versus not. That's coaching.

Friday September 18 #9 Georgetown 3 Marquette 0 #14 Creighton 3 Providence 0 Seton Hall 2 UConn 1 Xavier 1 DePaul 1 St. John's 2 Villanova 1 neither team on our schedule....but result still made me smile Rutgers 2 #3 Ohio State 1

I’m at the U.C -Miami game. Miami absolutely thrashing the Bearcats.
