What the hell was that PAT?

Dwight Smith?

We're going to block one of these punts today.

Hundley runs into the endzone untouched! 14-7 Zips.

Need to get more pressure on their QB. Also need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.

Miami ties it after a big PI call on Akron.

Lee was suspended for academic reasons. That usually signals that a player won't return until January if he gets his grades up.

40 minutes of Full Court press. It will be interesting to see how Akron handles that. Maybe play a lot of 2-Center lineups to pass it right over the defense? We're athletic enough as a team to handle it.

Looks like Akron is better in every category.

Awesome.

I'll say the Zips win 20-7.

Today is the beginning of the early signing period, I think. Lasts through Nov 18th.

I would guess Jake. It wouldn't take much to increase his scoring, and the potential is there for him to become a 3-point bomber.

Way too close for comfort, but it's a win, on the road. Anybody want to disagree that 4-5 looks a whole hell of a lot better than 3-6?

UMass can't settle for a FG here.

Stop this drive and it's over.

But still running on 3rd.

What a reversal of momentum.

Agreed. Their defense is not good enough to keep up, unless we go ultra-conservative with the play calling.

Who is Carlitos Anderson?

This team has the ability to put out a ridiculously tall lineup.

Starters: Antino Jackson, Josh Williams, Reggie McAdams, Kwan Cheatham, Isaiah Johnson. Williams will see a lot of playing time.

Hopefully that means replacing those orange bulbs with something. Or even nothing. Just remove them. Nothing worse than sodium lighting. Also, about the students getting chairbacks, it won't happen. I don't care if that is the "plan" they told you. They won't give students chairbacks because they all end up broken. Just look at the seats behind the basket. Half the chairs are missing or damaged, and haven't been replaced for almost a decade. Maybe this is the new AD's idea, but reality will set in before the renovations are completed as he observes how the students in chairbacks behave during the season.

The Massachusetts Minutemen are currently 1-7 this season. This after being predicted to make the biggest turnaround in college football by several preseason magazines. The UMass program is in dire straights. At the end of the month, they will officially leave the MAC and become an Independent with no bowl contracts, no TV coverage for home games, and no hope of joining another conference. Attendance is bad, and it looks worse since they play in an NFL stadium 90 miles from campus. This is a game Akron should win, even on the road. While Blake Frohnapfel is a good QB, he tends to lock on to his favorite WR, Tajae Sharpe. If the Zips keep him under wraps and pressure the QB, UMass' offense will stall. They're not very good on 3rd down conversions, and go for it on 4th several times per game. Defensively, UMass is awful. They give up 37ppg and can't stop the run or the pass. As a team, UMass is one of the most penalized teams in the country.
