Beautiful. Knew it. Refs were moronic for what they let go in the 1st half. Southern coach couldn't believe they weren't getting calls, yet played football on half the plays.

Ewers is the second highest rated QB recruit ever - second only to Vince Young. Let's apply some common sense and save the energy for realistic gets. I do believe a number of 4 star guys will come to Akron, either the transfer route or true recruits. Moorhead instantly raises credibility for the program. Saquon Barkley, Trace McSorley, Mike Gesicki all played for him at PSU, and THRIVED. That is a selling point to recruits. It wasn't too long ago that the MAC had the #1 overall pick in the NFL Draft, and a few years later had a WR drafted in the top 10. Moorhead will be able to sell himself and Akron to that caliber of player, and/or develop that caliber. If I remember correctly, he even had NFL talent at UCONN, which has been dormant in football since his departure. This hire received heavy coverage from the National Media. People will be paying attention to Akron football, so these kids will have quite the spotlight to be seen to and get to the next level.

I missed the second half. What happened? Should I play the lottery tonight?

This. These. All of them. Why get away from what makes us unique, only to go to one of the most generic and common types of logos?

Nice finish to the half. Withstood their physicality and seemingly found some sort of rhythm.

For anyone who watched the debacle that was the PAC 12 Title Game last night, here is a tweet to show what Moorhead was up against when it came to controlling his own offense. I was on multiple Oregon message boards last night and today, and found this sentiment echoed.

There is going to be at least one technical foul called in this game. These refs are letting everything go.

Burn a redshirt. Please. Have a shooting contest over the couple days of practice. Whomever makes more, let them play.

Football largely determines a college's success now; it is the premier moneymaker. The University should take big strides all around during Moorhead's tenure and beyond.

He can put script Akron on the academic planners & supplies. Let the Athletic Director be in charge of what is marketed by athletics.

A lot. Still waiting for the Info to be renamed Leaf Filter Stadium.

"Flashy" Based on the uniforms and the score, I think Brimfield CC sent their Fashion Major students...

State of Ohio? Are we about to become THE State University of Ohio?!

Welcome, @Boondog! Aside from the lack of player discipline, what type of player did he recruit? Did he have the athletes/size to compete in the SEC? Or did he have more of the slender-frame guys like he had at Oregon?

Furthermore, thank you AD Guthrie for believing in Akron, that Akron can be better.

When's the last time we heard from Hixon? Speaks volumes to the importance of this hire.

How much fun is the Info going to be with butts in seats?

ZipsNation - congrats to all!

From what I've read, Moorhead was given credit for the OSUcks win, and Cristobal was given credit for the lame-duck (pun intended) performances against Utah in recent weeks.

Injuries at WR... Good analogy. Could we see a change at QB? Possibly one that might follow Moorhead?

Another mention of Moorhead to Akron by Herbstreit in the second half. The camera then showed Moorhead looking down at his notes. Couldn't quite tell, but I thought I saw "Guys to bring with me to Akron... Brown - No... Reasons I'm happy to be going back home to Akron... This $%#@ show is exhibit A..." Side note: Still amazes me that the commentary crew for our 2005 MAC Title was Mike Tirico, Kirk Herbstreit, and Erin Andrews.

Oregon's personnel is interesting compared to what Moorhead has had success with in the past. Slim, speedy guys (typical Oregon) vs. bigger frames on Midwest/East Coast guys like he had at Penn State. I wonder if he'll find some sort of combination to recruit at Akron, or if he prefers one over the other.

Maybe Oregon with their contract extension for Cristobal. The whole team looks flat. By the way, note to self: do not target Boston College transfer QBs. Both Oregon's and BG's transfers from Boston College are not impressive.
