A 100% healthy Akron is a top 25 team. Too bad it'll never happen. Can someone explain why several players miss multiple games every year with back spasms? Is it their lifting techniques? Why can't we just be healthy?
Barring a major upset Nebraska, San Jose State, and Minnesota should all be eliminated next week. Lots of toss-ups happening for other 6-loss teams. One or two of them might lose as well. Also, 6-loss Texas has to play Baylor in two weeks.
It's looking like we'll need another win to get into a bowl. Still, this win tonight takes a tremendous amount of pressure off the Zips for when they play Can't this "Frye-day". Can you imagine if we needed a win against them to get eligible, in a rivalry game against a team with nothing to lose?
Arkansas is a guard-oriented team that likes to pressure the ball handler. Josh Williams may be a liability on offense. Defensively, our size and athleticism should bother them.
27-4 at the under 8 timeout. I would rather see the main rotation players fine-tune things than to experiment with lineups. We need everything running smoothly for the next two games.
