Let'sGoZips94

Play calling has regressed since the first couple of drives. It's either a run or a deep ball. Why not a simple slant to keep the defense on its toes and pick up decent chunks of yardage instead of all or nothing?

Bend don't break. Pretty good hold to 3 pts there after the good punt return.

Agreed, but Montgomery is such a stud. Easily going to be one of the better RBs when he enters the NFL Draft. He's the great equalizer in this game - otherwise, it's advantage Akron.

Our height at WR is a game-changer this year.

That sucks. That's possible because a 3rd down loss-of-yards was converted to a 1st down by the wrap & whip tackle over our own player.

TOUCHDOWN! WHAT A THROW AND CATCH!

HUGE that they changed the original call to Akron's ball. Not enough conclusive evidence to overturn.

Very nice hold after the INT. That 3rd down play by ISU is typically a play that gets not only a 1st down, but decent yardage on the Zips in the past. Was that a broken route that led to the INT?

I'm so glad this game is on FSO. My man cave chair and I have a date with the TV starting at noon. I'm fresh out of Bud Light (Dilly Dilly to the Browns!), but the drink of choice will be a smooth Sam Adams Octoberfest. Here's to another upset, and another week of flying the Jolly Roger!

Pretty powerful article.

One last opinion - this defense will win us the MAC if the offense doesn't lose it. This defense is a top 25 caliber defense (team ranking wise, not the unit's ranking itself). Multiple NFL prospects, speed, length, athleticism. It's a beautiful thing to watch.

Met a guy at our hotel that is a huge Nebraska fan. He told me Akron is probably lucky that game got cancelled. Should be noted: that was before today.

Whoops - you're right. Haha. Sorry, I am in Wailea on Maui. Aloha, brah! Shaka! By the way, I believe this is technically Akron's first win against a Big Ten squad, since OSUcks didn't join the Big Ten until 1912. Not sure what conference they were in during the 1894 season.

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN AKRON BEAT NORTHWESTERN?! ME? I AM IN MAUI ON MY HONEYMOON! WATCHED IT ON MY PHONE FRON THE BEACH! FLY THE JOLLY ROGER!

Love that we're recruiting Indiana.

According to Nebraska Fan Forum, no game tomorrow.

This gives us a chance to all go to church tomorrow and pray for a Zips win. I'm just glad the game will be played.

Game has been cancelled. Not sure if that verbiage means it will be made up or cancelled altogether.

Huskers fan whose sister is/was at the game said the game has been called. https://nebraska.forums.rivals.com/threads/they-are-going-to-call-the-game-thunderstorms-lined-up-for-next-4-hours.216531/page-3 Not so fast, to quote Lee Corso. Nothing from Matt Reynolds in confirmation, but it does sound like this could be played tomorrow at 10am or 1pm. https://twitter.com/Matt_Reynoldson/status/1036084806633828352

Any possibility our AD can use this as a selling pitch to other schools to pay us to come play a game against them? We pack stadiums!

A Huskers poster started a thread titled "My Buzz Has Worn Off", with the body of the post reading, "Should I keep drinking?" We've reached that point folks.

You're telling me Lincoln doesn't have more resources than Kalamazoo?

https://twitter.com/Matt_Reynoldson/status/1036077288062894080 Sounds like there is a huge push to play this game no matter how late it goes. I'm all for it.

Keep it that way for the 9th-17th (my honeymoon).
