No. They cannot afford to pay him to not be here. Even if they could, who would want to come here to replace him? Whoever it is, they need to figure out how to recruit offensive linemen. THIS position group has been garbage for as long as I can remember.

This team has enough talent to win 5 or 6, but so far under Moorhead they haven’t learned how to win. For that reason I am going with 3-9 (Colgate, Buffalo, & Kent). I hope I am wrong.

3-9. Wins over Colgate, Kent, and Buffalo

They rank Joe Moorhead as the 9th best coach in the MAC. I think that’s pretty good considering he hasn’t done much in his first couple of years.

Kid went to St. John Bosco. That school is a high School powerhouse. Looks like Cal Berkeley also offered him out of high school.

In order to succeed in the NBA, he is going to need to be able to play the 3 because he is too small for the 4. I think its why they are testing him out on the wing. They want to see if he can knock down threes. Sounds like he's doing it, which is good news for him. Keep practicing your medium to long range shots Enrique!

I hope he sucks even more in Pittsburgh than he did here.

and offensive line

Winning hopefully leads to that, but I understand your point because Toledo and Miami don’t draw much more than us. Yes, need the money. I just want more than five home games per year.

I fear that the two disastrous seasons under Moorhead are going to lead to the handful of good players left leaving for greener pastures. Who wants to come here?

I know that playing P5 schools brings in a lot of revenue for the football program, but it would be nice to get at least six home games per year. Not saying we need seven like most P5’s, but not five either.

What did I miss? Did Kentucky buy their way out of the contract that they had with Akron that was going to have them go on the road next year to play us?

I doubt the committee will take exhibition games into account. Zips are 1-0 on the season.

Me too! I was disgusted until I woke up this morning and read a text from a friend who said we rallied in the 4th quarter and won. Great thing to wake up to! Keep it rolling next week in Oxford!

No coach can fix this overnight. It’s going to take 3-5 years of roster turnover and coaching. QB play has been terrible, but the OL, although improved over 2022, still sucks. How many yards rushing did we have last night? How many times was our QB pressured or sacked? Maybe Joe will move some guys around to try to get a better combination, but you can’t fix it over night. There are some good young players and some transfers to build on, but OL play still isn’t up to FBS standards. Defense is much improved and that is a big positive!

If Undercuffler plays against Temple, we win that one. I don’t want to see DJ Irons for the rest of this year.

Thank God for our defense! Let’s see what our offense can do with a short field.

I have never been sold on DJ Irons as a pure passer. Jeff Undercuffler has a much smaller sample size than DJ, but in that sample size, he has looked better. Maybe Irons plays well in practice, but can’t handle the pressure that comes with games? Maybe his shoulder is shot? IDK, but I believe we would have won yesterday if someone else was under center, even if it was only for the fourth quarter. What I saw yesterday was a QB who couldn’t make a throw when he needed to. This is a very concerning problem. The defense played well enough to win and it is much improved, especially the secondary, but the LB’s held their own as well. DL is a work in progress, but we all knew that coming into the season.

Forgot about the low throws. MANY of those!

It was so frustrating to me that Joe continued to stick with Irons when it clearing wasn’t working. Overthrows, throws behind, and then that pick. Ugh!

Nothing is that bad, but it certainly feels like another one score loss. Offense needs to wake up.

These Pro-Temple announcers suck. Our defense needs a three and out to start the third quarter.

I love your enthusiasm. I went with 6-6. If we win that opener in Philadelphia, then 8-4 is very realistic. I had forgotten that Kurt Warner’s son is there. Our defense is going to be challenged.

Five wins at best (4-4) in MAC. OL and DL are improved, but still below average compared to the rest of the league and w/o much depth IMO.

5 wins
