Listening to the games, I hear SFPBPA say "he was wide open" a couple times per quarter it seems. It's probably more of an issue with linebackers trying to drop into correct coverage as needed. No defense can lock down all receivers on every play but hopefully that phrase can be used less than half a dozen times per game vs. our MAC opponents.

I'll set the over/under for Zips dropped passes at 4.5. Wet weather would mean fewer passes but a slipperier ball. I'll set the over/under for EMU wide-open receiver catches at 7.5 (for entertainment purposes only...IANAB).

And Weis will retire a wealthy man, receiving $5.6M through 2016 per footballscoop.com.

No, underdogs. It's -22.

Be sure to click on the "Too Low" button for the Zips. At least it gets us a little name recognition for all the eyeballs that look at the poll. We are almost into the top half

+1. Play them like they're the Michigan State Spartans. Don't even look at the Vegas line on this one...pretend we are the underdogs at home. Run the ball, catch every pass, no turnovers, no dumb penalties. Go Zips!

Amazing to think that he was head coach (interim) at Notre Dame after Weis was fired. Makes for a good bar trivia question. The silver lining may be that our AD's present and future won't be allowed to make any more big hires on their own without considerable oversight from a team of university staffers and/or outside consultants.

Available again? Our receivers have been struggling a bit...maybe we could use his help? http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/24728137/kansas-fires-charlie-weis-after-texas-rout

Use Grice more on offense...3-4 ypc, move the chains, and wear down opponents' defense. I think we have enough depth on DL to do it. Chisolm could start taking reps in practice as slot receiver.

Finally getting some blitzes.

Crushed at home by Northwestern.

GRICE again...can we get a hat trick?

REFRIGERATOR !!

Plenty of mistakes but have to be happy to be tied at the half after last week's debacle. UP appears to be in danger of not covering the spread

I have Frenchy on (internet), it's a full half minute behind gametracker.

Opponents are going to start inviting & escorting us to the red zone...

What did he say that got you off the ledge?

FWIW, Penn State is now #27 in the AP poll, Marshall is #30, and Pitt got 1 vote.

Back to unwatchable...at least for today.

Get as many fast QB's as possible and turn some of them into S's and WR's. And then you also never run out of backup QB's.

they beat Oral Roberts 4-1 on tues. it's game on at 7:00 after we marshall
