Great play calling. Night and day. Stretching BG D early...love it!

GREAT JOB !!!

Akron has scored 41 of its 96 total points this season during the fourth quarter. Good news, game is on ESPN3. Bad news, Reghi will be reeling off nonsensical cliché after cliché during the broadcast. BG switching to white helmets tomorrow to try to combat zipper helmets….fat chance!

KD signed a one year extension. Jeff Bozello claims it makes a "ton of sense."

The story was more entertaining than the video.

I agree. That is as clear as mud. I think I can read between the lines though. Great point by coach: But Bickley’s five-catch, 79-yard, two-touchdown performance last Saturday makes Bowden sure of one thing: Things are about to change for the receiver. “He’s also going to be facing more pressure now,” he said. “The next team we play will see how well he did in that game and they’re going to say, ‘OK we have to have a plan and make sure we have [someone] out there to cover him.’ ”

A good point. Indiana put up 600 yards of offense on this "number one" mac defense??? You can watch some highlights here and judge for yourself.

BG is first in the mac in team defense, if we come out and try to run the ball, we will fall behind early AGAIN. Coach has talked about getting a fast start this week. Our offensive game plan will decide this one. If we win, it will be 38-35, and we need the ball last. Balls to the wall AJ! :gun: PS If anyone is a Tool fan and digs this song, Maynard on his last side project CD.

Fire When Ready...By Elton Alexander, The Plain Dealer BG scored 34 or more points in 3 of 4 games, while the Zips scored 24 points vs. UM, 30 vs. LL and 35 in a victory over JMU. BG qb Johnson is the 3rd qb in the MAC, averaging 250.0 y/g. Pohl is 5th at 218.2 y/g. The Zips are 9th in total defense, BG is 1st in the MAC in total defense

THAT WOULD BE DA BOMB.

Get Michigan out of the problematic college polls...

I think they should do this at EVERY Akron sporting event for every game.

We have been lucky this season. For one, the tailgating weather has been awesome. Other than the Michigan noon start, tailgating times have been great. The entertainment value is there. The offense and defense have scoring potential on any play. Game day activities seem to be there also. There is plenty to do with the kids if you bring your family. The stadium is beautiful, and you can enjoy a beer at the game. They did a nice job on the end zone grass, it's fun to check out if you have never sat down there. I'm fairly confident that we are on the verge of winning. I can see the progression. Now if you were to post this about are last coach, you are right, other than making good coin on the games, I probably should have had my head examined. It's all about entertainment for me, and yes, this year has been entertaining...so far. One more positive I will mention, when the last coach was here, I was embarrassed to ask anybody to come and watch the team. Now I'm happy to invite others and know they will see some entertaining football and have a good time. Now if we can get some upsets, I won't have to ask people, they will ask me.

Starting fast will be a priority this week... By George M. Thomas Beacon Journal sports writer

Borrow a Cowlumbus fans ugly red shirt and get a nice Akron shirt. ...or grab one from the trash.

I noticed the same on more than one occasion.

Thanks K92.

Here is an NFL example of what I'm looking for. I'm specifically interested in the Zips players snapcounts. Bowling Green favored by 15 according to OddsSharks.

I would guess nobody if you were evaluating QBs. But if you were evaluating a game, and wanted to know if there was going to be some passing in the game, it might be a good indication.

For you stat guys, I'm looking for two stats, tackles and snaps. How many tackles does CJ have? How many snaps has MTB have? This is easy info to find in the NFL, but seems to escape me in college football. Can someone help? BG QB is 23rd in the nation in passing yards. Pohl is 34th.

Wouldn't it be ironic that the very team the Browns have to trade up with in the draft to get the QB that they covet, is the Steelers? Think the two teams won't trade? The two GMs have already traded once in last years draft. Hmmmm....

Sloppy game offensively. We gave that one away. Among many of my questions, the one I can't get out of my head this morning. Why did we take the long pass to LT Smith out of the game plan that was so effective last week? I don't know the numbers but MTB got tons of snaps last night, LT did not. If you check the box score, both had the same numbers. Dictate your offense game plan until someone stops it, don't react to what may happen. Our game plan was too reactionary. Offensive play calling is an article that is dying to be written by a newspaper writer that has access to answers, to the proper questions IMO.

Expectations change as a team progresses. I expect the team to get better and better this season because of our experienced staff, and the fact that we now have some talent to compete in the MAC. I expected better execution last night. We beat our selves. The defense is doing exactly what coach has said it needed to...start taking the ball away. The offense needs to get better tempo. I expect us to get more wins this season. I voted "meeting", assuming you are referring to a time frame of "before the season started." If you take it game by game, UCF = meet, Dukes = meet, UM* = exceeds, and Cajuns = below. * I only vote exceeds because I didn't realize how bad UM really is, had I known how bad they are, I would have voted "meet." The fact that UM is ranked is a complete JOKE.
