To boot, with the hurricane cancellations, I think 6 wins would be a near-lock for a bowl this year. I'll await someone to do the math

A win over a 2nd 1-AA team is still a 6 win Akron team though.. Only one 1-AA win a year counts. This would just be an extra scrimmage in December for all intents and purposes

Picked 5th. No one on pre-season All-MAC. Should be a nice little chip on the shoulder

Any word on Jamal Davis's injury?

Zips win a close one. FF: We don't have a fumble this week But really, I'll go with - Van Edwards breaks 100 yards this week

Yeah doesn't make much sense to me

Most of any Zip in that time period as well. Wagner had 22 against FIU in 2008. A decent amount of those games are against option schools where linebackers really rack up the tackles, so really dang dadgum impressive.

23? Holy crap

Who wasn't even a Leipold recruit. He's obviously coached him up pretty well, but we'll see where they are when he's gone. I get what others are saying about stagnating, I do. But I think some are underestimating the depths we sank to. I'm really curious how we'll look next year.. We got to two bowl games with the most patchwork recruiting classes I've seen in CFB. Half have been transfers, and the other half were gambles on kids that didn't even have recruiting profiles. Which isn't the be all-end all with recruiting but the odds aren't great if that's all you've got. We're now setting a foundation and bringing in kids with offers from other decent schools. If next year looks the same, I might start to feel the same way. But at the same time, I'm pretty grateful that we're in a spot where a bowl game isn't that huge of a deal anymore to most.

We'll see!

Dan Bertolini took over 2 years ago. Their recruiting has gotten way better since he stepped in, but those are 18-19 year old kids still. I don't like to play the insider card like some do but I know a lot of the area coaches and they're well respected and don't hesitate sending a kid there like before.. he's gotten a few recruits over Kent the past couple years. They'll be contending with Wright State in a few years. I didn't say it's turned around yet They won 5 conference games in 2016 and doubled that to 10 last year.

That's great. Wasn't the initial word we'd only fund 5 or so?

I like this idea. mine is - CMU doesn't score a point

I think we beat them up. We have no running game, so I'm going with Kato. Andre Williams seems to be stepping up. Though, Kwad could always lead the team with a long catch or two

YSU is turning their program around as well. I don't have high hopes given that we're handicapping ourselves with limited scholarships and resources, but it'd be a lot of fun if they could surprise some people and make something happen.

That's depressing

Haven't heard many great things on this one from the coaches I know. I hope it works out

Besides Kent. Well, are they still considered FBS?

Yeah imagine if we had a beat reporter or something

Let a sleeping dog lie. Or something

Yeah that wasn't a fake

Rivalry games are always weird. A wins a win.

Couldn't have drawn it up any better
