Blue & Gold

ABJ/GT: Lack of consistency continues to plague Zips "UA coach Tom Arth will likely be the first to offer no excuses for the dismal stats that revealed themselves once again in the Zips' running game. The Zips rushed for 39 yards on 18 carries for 2.2 yards per attempt." "For the game, [the Zips] managed 3-of-12 third-down conversions."

If they'd build a mini "Green Monster" wall in left field they could create a little more room for the grandstands & concourse as well as give it an old-school urban stadium feel.

Were our guys cocky and lazy this offseason? The slogan "Unfinished Business," may suggest they thought they'd simply stroll to the College Cup this year? Do we miss Marco Micaletto & Abdi Mohamed that much? I know we sorely miss Marcel Zajac's finishing skills.

I love Arth's demeanor. He's a teacher who remains positive. I would have loved to have played for a coach like Arth.

Sports Illustrated quality!

ABJ/GT: Akron vs. Troy scouting report Much better than last week's scouting report. After reading about Troy's offense... uh, oh.

FF: Julian Hicks has a breakout performance.

That was a great press conference. I really appreciate both the fact that GT was asking the difficult questions (concerning risking injury to Alvin Davis as our return man & the obvious OL issues) and the fact that Arth got fiery and stood up for his players. Good stuff!

Looks like this guy is coming for a visit this weekend. A couple of the Zips coaches Liked the above tweet. Trey Coleman, RB, 5-11, 213, Hutchinson CC, West Monroe HS, West Monroe, LA The Hutchison CC Football website states his previous college as Tennessee. 24/7 lists him with offers from us, UMass & Toledo. Rivals.com lists him coming out of high school as a 3-star prospect with offers from Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana Tech & Iowa State

Keyondre White entering the Transfer Portal. Not terribly surprising. Good luck, Keyondre!

I'm sure he'll sign his LOI on the 2nd Wednesday of November - the NCAA early signing day. So we'll know whether or not he'll be a Zip next year prior to the start of this season.

ABJ/GT: Snail's pace on offense leaves Zips to dig out from under problems

I think so. I think we get him next year. It'll be fun to watch how he performs at Mott JC this season.

7:09 & ESPN+ is still telling me the event has not started yet?

ABJ: Another nightmarish first half dooms Zips The writer is correct: 3 weeks, 3 slow starts.

I think @zzx thinks UA should think about recruiting Marquez Parks? ?

ABJ Akron -v- CMU "scouting report" ?

You could watch Jordan get better as the game went on. It was fun to watch. His high school film impressed me. He's gonna be a good one.

Well, 6 P's, actually.

ABJ/GT: Zips looking for a run game to balance the offense I'm still utterly perplexed by the whole pencil thing. But I do appreciate Arth's differentiation between it being a "Takeaway Pencil," not a "Turnover Pencil."
