    Good post. 

     

    They are probably going to need to work on defensive depth. They do have a good defense, but if the offense still struggles next year they will need a lot of fresh, competent bodies during games. 

     

    The grad transfer QB probably works best at this point. Joe burned two seasons without his guy behind center. Can't wait to develop a freshman for a couple of years. 

     

    I see someone gave a thumbs down to your post. NE Ohio fans are a funny bunch. I think they enjoy losing more than winning. 

    I hope this debacle doesn't affect recruiting.  If you are a top RB, are you going to come here when you get 10 or less touches?  If you are a QB are you going to come here to throw 30 yard passes for 5 yards (WRs too).  

    What are we selling recruits right now?

    It's about opinion, not correctness. We'll never know how the youngsters would have fared against Can't. Does this mean JU is now the man for next year? I admit it's a little scary that the successful HS QB's we've recruited are still too overwhelmed to take snaps in a bottom-level MAC game.

     

    I was thinking the same.  And my wanting to see the freshman had more to do with thinking they might give us a better chance to win than what we have been seeing.

    • Lingard was great running and catching.  I really liked him in the interview....I like the way he talked about the alumni, the community and coming back for the rest of his life.  I can't help but wonder what the season would have looked like if he had gotten the ball more like he did in this game.  He is tough to bring down and it opens up play action. Also made an amazing catch on the final drive.
    • You have got to be a strong armed QB to play in this system.  30 yard outs to gain 5-10 yards are scary.
    • Great call on the final touchdown!!
    • Undercuffler came through but the spike and the penalty could have cost us (I realize the emotion but damn that could have erased everything).  Same for Gathings.  He got lucky because I thought he could have been called twice for unsportsmanlike conduct).
    • The kicking looked good.  There were no long attempts but the short FG and all XPs had good height and right down the middle).
    • The stadium looked beautiful from the blimp.  Would have looked even better if it was full.

     

    Hopefully this is the game that sets everything off.  Run the table Zips!

    I agree. I doubt we see that kind of heavy activity again, but I’m sure we’ll see some more signings and defections. 
     

    What is most surprising to me is the lack of productive Zips players that have hit the portal. Nearly every team has lost at least one key player.
     

    So far, our biggest losses have probably been Max Tucker and Lester Miller who aren’t portal related. I thought both guys were underrated high school recruits and it seems Boston College agreed on Tucker. Remains to be seen with Miller.

    Agreed.  I hope the luster of the JoMo hire has not worn off by our season and poor attendance.

    Try doing it without a Marketing Director, and only two SIDs, 1 videographer and 3 GAs wit zero experience covering football, mens and womens soccer, volleyball swimming and diving, rifle and now mens and womens basketball all at the same time.  You can put lipstick on the JAR with new lighting and a new floor, but you gut the admin staff and expect "other school in the MAC" amenities?

    I'm pretty sure I could do it in less than an hour, Captain K could probably do it in 30 min.  One of these folks could likely do it in 15 min with eyes closed UA Computer Science Degree
