The commissioner was on with Frenchy at halftime Saturday rationalizing this decision.

First and second down play calling did little to help our QB convert third downs. We were consistently in too many 3rd and long situations. This is, and was a recipe for losing to anybody. I remember one first down pass that went to the TE for a 5 or 7 yard gain. I liked that call. Marshall and OU have showed (on tape now) how to stop our offense when we consistently spread em out. Obviously you need the defenders to do it, but I think we need some play calls to adjust to that defense.

Most? Who are these posters? I want to run the ball to gain yards and put our QB in the best position to put points on the board. I don't want to "establish" a run. That is not happening while coach Bowden is here. PS One more thing I wanted to mention. Marshall had the best defensive corner play against us. OU's corners had a good day against us too. They play aggressive, and played well. If teams continue to play aggressive on the outside like that, we need play calls to take advantage of that.

There is a certain WR that wouldn't see the field for a while, but I'll agree with most, I can not get past the offensive game plan. Worth repeating, we are trying to pound a square peg in a round hole. I warned of this before the game. If I call plays yesterday, we win by two touchdowns. I thought it was a classy move when coach walked out to the field, and gave his QB a hug after he ended the game.

RUN THE BALL!!!!

Damn, ZP rulz!

That is some chicken-sh#t blocking by OU's line. Hollis has a beef. Finally, a first down carry. Come on AJ!!!

You forgot Harrison, Mitchell, and Suisham. All played in the Mac and had just as bad of a day as the other three. Gradkowski holds a clipboard, and Umass nicknamed "Baby-Gronk", Blanchflower is on the practice squad. All in all, the Steelers have NINE Mac players on their roster. Most will make it through the rebuild. Harrison will retire again. Moore will not dress when when younger talent takes over eventually. Dri could become a casualty if their OC becomes collateral damage. Still my favorite Mac media photo of all time. Cody may give AB a run for his money next year.

The Zips have a better coach than the Jets, I wouldn't concern myself too much about what's going on there. GT writes his 5 keys to beat OU: In a nutshell: Establish the run. Stop the run. Protect Woodson. Send in Jerome Lane (no 14). "UA’s offensive line has powered the team to an average of 170 yards rushing in the past three games." Weather calls for 53 and cloudy during the game with a 20 percent chance of rain.

Probably not soon. Oklahoma and the Rajin' Cajuns in 2015. Marshall and Wisconsin in 2016, PSU and TBA in 2017. Nebraska and Iowa St in 2018. Just got Nebraska on the schedule for 2018. Home and home with Cincy would be great. I always set my expectations low for our conference schedule. Hopefully with our new found success, we get some favors we are owed.

Not for away out of conference games. Oklahoma and Louisiana games are over a thousand miles away. As opposed to PSU and Pitt this year where fans could jump in the car the morning of the game. Not complaining, just pointing it out.

Opposite year. Zips in bowl game, Cowboys in playoffs. Lucky guy.

I would venture to guess hundreds of coaches have been dismissed from the job with talented players on their team. Like I wrote in the beginning of this thread: "The intention of this thread is to follow this years players in the MAC that may have the chance to play in the NFL. The thread will also inform ZN members of the top talent to watch as the season progresses. I was wondering if there are other ZN members that enjoy following and would enjoy posting updates throughout the season." I thought maybe fans of the MAC might like to know of Taylor's success since we play Buffalo November 11th.

21,997 avg. for the last three of those four years.

Buffalo running back Anthone Taylor is third in the nation right now in rushing with 926 yards and 9 tds. PS He's from Ohio.

I didn't watch the game last night, but looking at the box score, I see Voytik had more rushing attempts than passing attempts. That's a better job by the offensive coordinator from my evaluation of that team. Get Boyd the ball and limit Conner on obvious running downs. I'm assuming they didn't go run, run, pass (vanilla game plan) like they did against the Zips. Edit: I had to look up Pitt OC because I just read a small blurb about his brilliant play calling last night. Joe Rudolph. "Rudolph spent three years at Ohio State (2004-06) serving as an offensive graduate assistant" I'll bet a nickel the game plan against Akron next year is dramatically different than this year. If I could buy a ticket to that game now, I would.

Article written Dec 2012. Games following the orange bowl in 2013 were: 23,595 (sellout) - 23,595 (sellout) - 20,185 - 18,290 and 17,679. (Capacity: 23,595) They had 20,000 last week against Central. That's 3,595 short of a sellout. Skyrocket? I'm not sure how you define that. If you replace the word "skyrocket" with "increase", I would answer, yes.

George Thomas ‏@GeorgeThomasABJ 1h1 hour ago Kyle Pohl will not play for @ZipsFB against Ohio Bobcats. Tommy Woodson will get his first start.

Unless they move Rock on the Range to Infocision.

I would guess that is far off. Real lot niners™ don't drink swill.

This is at halftime Saturday, so I'm sure some students left their seats for a restroom break, but here are some attendees.

Selling his Miami home.

Yep. I hope KP16 is fine. For the sake of game planning, I hope they don't "announce" until as late as possible. Like Bill Beli-cheat, I mean chick. Nobody works the system as good as he does...wink wink.

George Thomas ‏@GeorgeThomasABJ 53 minutes agoKyle Pohl did not practice again for @ZipsFB. Pohl's status will be announced tomorrow.

I filled out my ballot yesterday. Here is issue 12 for reference: As a reminder:
