Blue & Gold

^^I had a good view of that play & saw that Sampson had only grabbed him by the jersey. I just figured the refs got the call wrong, which would be really easy to do in that situation. Didn't know the rule had been broadened. Thanks, Doc. P.s., I watched Sampson explaining to Bowden he only grabbed the jersey. I was a bit surprised Akron didn't challenge the call but now understand why they didn't.

Excellent pictures once again. You're gifted. Thanks for sharing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe we've had a legit striking forward since Darren Mattocks. Seems to be a weak point in our recruiting efforts. Do striking forwards prefer not to play on a team that values possession & passing?

Awesome!??

Jeffrey Lubin really passes the eyeball test.

6:00 p.m. kickoff time just announced.

I like all the young bucks listed, but voted for Kato because I don't want him to be too green next year.

We've also got East's Daishawn Brimage coming in next year who's 6-1, 200 & has fantastic hands, as well as Ellet's Marquise Bridges (5-10, 180) who's speed is jaw-dropping. I'm eager to see how his game translates & watch our coaching staff try various ways of getting the ball in his hands. -He was a RB in high school but I'm betting they attempt to use him in the slot next year.

Agreed. Young & Smith sure are fast, but they just don't seem to be naturals at the position.

Iowa State blew that game. Definitely should have won.

I noticed this as well. Our pass rush was pretty weak. I did think Brian Reinke looked good.

UA1987, are you sure we play Northwestern next year? I was just looking at our future schedules and only see @ Nebraska and @ Iowa State listed.

?????????⚡️????⚡️??

Give me the bottom half of the Big Ten: Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue or Rutgers. Just say no to Michigan, Michigan State, Nebraska & especially Penn State & Wisconsin. (Personally, I like playing Ohio State.)

My thoughts, spot on.

Thank God it's a Zips article by Michael Beaven

Agreed. It was just one game but I've got little patience for pouty QB's.

Kato showed a nice arm & looked really quick when he was out there.

Good call. He's the best high school back I've ever seen. (Including Beanie Wells - who didn't have much of an O-line blocking for him.) Ricky Powers was a little before my time.

That sucked

That's insane.

I wasn't disputing this, Hilltopper. I was just trying to say it's awesome!

I'm sure they did. Poor Big Dog's just one of those guys who'll tip the scales at over 500lbs. shortly after his playing days are through.

I've never heard of such a thing. It's near miraculous.
