Blue & Gold

Good thinking, 'Meister. Could Coach Stroud serve as both DC and OC?

ABJ: University of Akron football quarterback situation remains in question for Zips As for Ramart? With Nelson’s status still questionable, he will be the next man up if needed. Bowden said the redshirt freshman was down after the loss Saturday. The message was simple. “You’re not the first quarterback to start out bad,” Bowden said. Alex is going to be fine. You could tell the game was still moving too fast for him. The only remedy for that is reps. It also looked to me like Alex was aiming the ball instead of just throwing it (because he was tight). Pressing too hard. I remember those days from when I played; one of the worst feelings in the world. Only experience cures that. If I may, I will point out one thing I think may be a weakness in his game that reps may not remedy - I think his deep balls flutter a little bit & get caught up. He has a tendency to under throw the deep ball, but he did this in the Spring Game as well, so it wasn't just tightness from starting his first game. In the Spring Game, IIRC, he threw deep, the ball got caught up and fluttered a little bit & gave time for Reggie Corner to run under it and make the interception. I believe the same happened in mop-up duty time against Morgan State. That's something he'll have to work on in the off season. Again, I'll clarify my frustration lies with Milwee. Not Alex. Alex is going to be fine. But Milwee's been underwhelming as OC for... Idk... five years now?

With 3 minutes to go Chicago State is up on Illinois State 68-62.

Don't worry. Milwee's had a full week to construct a game plan which puts Ramart in the best position to be successful. Fearless Forecast: We score an offensive TD this week.

Why is it always something :/

I’m not surprised. They’ve been doing that for at least the past three years.

I don't believe the replay is available on ESPN3. I clicked the link on the ESPN website but was unable to get the game to play

Zipsvoice, I forgot to reply to this post. Sorry, man. East QB Kyre Williams is a UA commit (as a DB/athlete) as is DT De'Arius Reese.

ABJ: Eastern Michigan 27, Akron 7: Zips struggle without Kato Nelson in loss to Eagles For the game, UA (4-5, 2-4 in MAC) gained 90 total yards (29 pass, 61 run) and went 0-for-11 on third down conversions. They turned the ball over four times. Still, the defense kept the Zips in the game until the fourth quarter with the Eagles leading 10-7.

Frenchy is a community treasure.

Ugh. 1st game of the year. I had Top 25 aspirations that year. Made the trip to Youngstown. Promptly lost my lunch. it was after that game that I was steadfastly indifferent about KD moving on.

Thanks, Clark. We should be the absolute terror of the MAC and run through the conference every year like a buzz saw. It shouldn't be close.

+1. And, aside from posters on ZN.o, I'm by far the biggest Zips fan I know.

I hate it when MAC coaches leave. CJ Massinburg had 43 & 14 last night

ABJ: With Kato Nelson's status in doubt, Zips rely on running game When considering the Eagles, it’s important to note they’ve followed a similar trajectory as the Zips this season. They have a signature win over Purdue — the team that beat Ohio State — and they’ve lost three of their games by three points. They cannot be taken for granted.

I'm planning on being there. Hope LePear's good to go. I don't want to see him get left behind so early in the season. Cool graphic

ABJ: Kato Nelson will be a big question mark as Zips prepare for Eastern Michigan

Ouch. I was looking for him to develop into one of the better players in the league.

Has LePear Toles gotten any PT?

Just saw we’re trailing 15-10. Who were the starters?

Local boy LePear Toles!!!

Wish I could make the game tonight, but alas... Please post lots of details!
