My takeaways....
RB - Sands and Morgan need to be the 2 guys toting the rock. Sands is the potential game breaker and Morgan is slippery and deceptively quick. VanEdwards is a special teams guy at this point.
WR - the group looks quite a bit better with Wolfe. We need the large receiver that can stretch the field because our other receivers are tiny. Kwan is a hell of a speed matchup problem for a #2 corner to cover in the MAC. Coney had a nice game. Chapman drops way too many passes.
QB - Woodson looks to have gotten is arm strength back, but he is still not consistently accurate. This has always been an issue with him, but his running capability always made the defense account for that threat. He isn't running anymore, so a good defense is going to exploit his inaccuracies and make us 1 dimensional. He missed about 4 or 5 td's by overthrowing wide open receivers. We can't do that against good teams.
defense - I don't know what to take from this game as Ball State had about the skill player talent of APB. Their offensive coordinator was beyond awful. They got 7-10 yards on every off tackle run, but decided to call and up the middle play for no yards on over half of their running plays.
Overall a fun game. I have been saying for a while that buffalo is pretty decent. We will find out next week when we see how we match up with western. The game with biffalo definitely gives me a much more positive outlook for Saturday.

Buffalo may pop Western.

We looked like that under Ianello. Like a high school team playing against adults.
Lol... we did for sure, but I don't know if we had anyone quite look like that. I am trying to blank those memories out.

This Ball State qb is as bad as a D1qb can get. What a stiff.
Their slot receiver #83 looked like a 7th grader. It was pretty amazing to see the talent deficiency on that team. Wow.

That is a shocker.
Right..as bad as BG is.... Ball State is probably worse. Western and Toledo are the only games that are a stretch to win. Buffalo actually doesn't look too bad.

The angry whiner earned the second block for me in about 15 years on these boards. Not worth my time.
Crazy day in the MAC, though. Even Buffalo had an early 14-3 lead on Western.
Hurt my feelings
-
That was a nice throw
-
That is about the 5th wide open receiver we have overthrown for 6

Two touchdown lead and people are bitching. Y'all are insufferable. I'm fine with Kato getting some reps to change things up. Can only help for next year.
Who is bitching? I haven't seen it so far. Actually, I see nothing in this game thread.

Nice, lol. What did Woody do to you? Steal your girl?
I said he pouted, which he did. I said nothing else. I have no personal vendetta against him.
Are you at the game today?
-
He failed to execute the shitty play call? Twice? Ok. And yes... Woodson pouted. Go f yourself.
-
So Nelson comes in and lights it up and Milwee calls 2 idiotic QB draw plays. Then Woodson comes in and pouts. Love it.
-
Their OC is dumber than Milwee. They run off tackle for 7-8 yards every play and every time they have a short yardage situation they run up the middle. They haven't gotten anything up the middle all game. Just boggles my mind.

Ball States players look like D3 players. They are AWFUL.

Best drive of the year???

This might be the most positive post I have seen out of you on here
Here is hoping they don't pee me off on Saturday! ?

I put zips win by under 8 and I have a weird feeling that Woodson is going to be more involved in the running game pushing our yardage total +131.

Well looks like I'm going to avoid the forum for awhile. Zips win and all some fans do is complain. See ya'll later in the season. Not worth it right now.

Larry Williams hit a home run in hiring John Groce & Larry Williams is a football guy. He's likely already got his short-list of candidates on speed dial; might be looking for a reason to give his #1 a call. Bowden's in Save-His-Job mode. I have full confidence in Larry Williams.
Heck, #5 YSU just beat #4 South Dakota State last night. Bo Pellini's only 45 minutes away.
I guarantee he is. Nobody with a brain can watch the zips and think that this program is even remotely heading in the right direction. Bowden is as good as gone and rightfully so.

Who vehemently insisted they were a garbage football program? People commented that they watched bad football last week. It was a true statement. Troy played better this week. Good for them. They beat LSU something Akron could never do. If it makes you feel better to rationalize how bad we suck as a football program, God bless ya.
It is whatever fits the narrative to justify this god forsaken staff. Just get them gone already.

$hit. Troy beats LSU by 3. They beat us by 5. We suck again!
Come on keener... Bowden can win the SEC!!! We have the dumbest and smallest fan base in D1 football. It is ridiculous

EMU and Buffalo are the 2 sleepers that are better than people give them credit.
