Once again, same old question: Will Broughton play? I believe last week was the first week that he dressed since the injury in Minnesota, does that mean he might actually hit the field this week? The lack of information from this program is so frustrating (among other things!)

Yet another embarrassing chapter in this 2026 season

Totally agree - that guy is not right!

I don’t even know where to start! Sounds like this kid is a great D3 receiver. I’m sure dozens of FBS teams will be lining up to sign this 5’8 150lb white wide receiver 🙄. Did it ever cross your mind that he’s playing against D3 DB’s? Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of great athletes in D3 but in general, they are an inch or two too short, or not as quick, or not as strong, or not as fast - that’s why they are in D3 and not D1. But back to the point, Akron, or any lower tier D1 school (or FCS) would absolutely destroy Mt Union. Anyone with any common sense or football knowledge knows this - you obviously don’t fall into that category. It’s an absolutely ridiculous debate. Also interesting that you somehow know what football I watch. Could you please explain how you know what levels of football that I watch/follow?

It’s just absolutely such an asinine and ignorant comment that just proves how little he knows about football and talent. It’s actually laughable.
-
There you go again! Are you saying that Mount Union could beat Akron or are just saying they have more talent? You do realize that not one of their players received a D1 offer right?

Game Eight (Wagon Wheel) Thoughts - 2026

Getting ahead of ourselves here but here’s a Google answer to what up and coming coach would take the job at Akron. I know that Ferris State has been dominant for several years in D2, but would a guy like this take this job? On one hand, I could see him taking it as a step up to D1, but on the other hand, I could see him not wanting it because it could be career suicide. ——————————————————- An up-and-coming lower-division football coaching prospect who fits the profile of a program like the University of Akron is Tony Annese, the head coach at Division II powerhouse Ferris State Bulldogs. [1] Why Tony Annese Fits the Akron Profile: Lower-Division Track Record: Similar to how Curt Cignetti made the jump from lower divisions (IUP, Elon, James Madison) to major success, Annese has built a dominant culture at Ferris State with massive win-loss totals, multiple deep playoff runs, and national championship pedigree. Developmental Mindset: He has a long history of turning around programs at the high school, junior college, and Division II levels, making him an ideal candidate for a Mid-American Conference (MAC) program like Akron that relies heavily on scouting, development, and maximizing limited resources. Readiness for an FBS Step: After establishing a premier D-II dynasty, coaches with Annese's offensive innovation and leadership track record frequently surface as realistic targets for group-of-five openings looking for proven culture-builders rather than recycled coordinators.

Ok, 7 are playing “college ball”, that means that about 60 are not. You are clueless.

This continues to baffle me. Alexander and Cravaack have proven to be very sure handed, reliable, receivers but they always seem to be the third or fourth read in the passing game. Very rarely are they a primary receiver. This passing game seems to only focus on the deep outs or crossing patterns deep over the middle. I think an intermediate passing game would certainly help Roggow and make his life easier. Roggow has done his best in a tough situation but accuracy on his long throws isn’t his strength and he hasn’t been helped with numerous drops by the wide outs. -
Some of your points are valid but you proved your ignorance by saying a high school team could beat a D1 football team. At that point you lost all credibility- go back under your rock and never come back. 🤡
-
For an open handed slap? Totally lost composure, but at least someone is showing that they are pissed off and frustrated by this train wreck of a team. They just march in and march out with no emotion every freaking week. If he never wore a zip’s uniform again all the other players would be so jealous. 😂
-
Complete embarrassment - heads needs to roll!
-
Again - for a TD
-
This defense just continues to give up sooo many chunk plays - kills them
-
All PI have been under thrown balls - so hard for a DB to stop and make that play
-
Pillow fight
-
He’s dressed
-
This isn’t looking good. Driving down and scoring on our first possession is always the kiss of death! Sure loss!
-
Anyone know by who the starting qb will be tomorrow?
-
Besides Kent (which is absolutely no gimme) the only chance of this team winning another game is if Broughton comes back, puts on a cape, and literally carries this team. That’s asking a lot of a redshirt freshman with a bum knee, but sadly, that’s the reality.

Groundhog day

QB Broughton
-
Any word on if Worm is back this week?
-
You gotta have a better 2 pt play than that in the arsenal
-
Bad combination - Roggow’s throws over the middle are always high and our wide outs have a lot of trouble catching high passes.
