  1. Game 5 - Miami (OH) at Akron

    Coach Bowden should be beating the bushes for some JC D-lineman as his #1 priority this off season.
    I think the concern this year is the depth. I thought our starting defense line played decent given the task (due to scheme and amount of snaps) they were given. Zac impressed me with his movement to avoid some pressure in the pocket. I think Miami did some good film study on our blitzing tendencies when we tried to help the d-line get pressure.

    I'm not interested in watching the QB run a lot, but when the opportunity presents itself, I'd like the Zips to be able to take advantage of it. Our QB rushed for zero yards Saturday. Miami's QB rushed for 100+ yards. The running QB is the "X Factor" in this offense and the teams that really do it well have that. That's the only criticism I can push TB's way with this offense. It could be the difference between just making a bowl and winning the MAC in years to come.
    You might have a tough time with this. As I posted before, TB told us that he doesn't like his QB to run because if he is at the bottom of the pile, he can't get the next play efficiently. TB doesn't forbid him to run, he just prefers he does not. I'm not saying I agree with it, I'm just reporting what he told us. A few times when Zac ran, there was nobody around him for 25 yards.

    Overall, I agree with Holtz. I have seen a ton of terrible tackling on that play, even in the NFL this year.

    In this game, it was not terrible tackling, receivers were getting very open on that set. It was confusion in the secondary.

    The few times the Zips did have good coverage, Dysert burnt them by running the ball.

    I thought Zac played an awesome game...as did Dalton. The refs really robbed football fans of a good game.

    ....cudos to Miami for a great game plan.. but when it was coming down to the wire - these kids were making stops (i.e 4th and 1s at Tennessee as well as last night) - but the refs made horrific calls that determined the outcome.
    Every time Miami needed a first down (on third down) they used the same 3 WR to one side set. We had NO defense for that formation and outcome. I kept hoping for 3 and short instead of third and long. If an opposing team runs middle, we have a good chance of stopping them.

    45-28 Zips.
    I have yet to see Miami play this season, so I can't make an educated guess. I know one thing, our offense can score on anybody.

    I really hope your right Keener, THAT score would get the town buzzing about Akron football. Sounds like it's going to be a beautiful fall day for some football! I'm probably going to take Akron with the $ line and forgo the points.

  20. Game 4 - Akron at Tennessee

    Tennessee does not run the ball.
    Tennessee run 46 times for 232 yards averaging over 5 yards a carry.

    I heard TB interviewed before the game. He stated the Vols running game was his biggest concern because the Zips were undersized upfront compared to the Vols. He said they would play a lot of 8 man fronts to try to stop them, but obviously they couldn't stay in the 8 man front too much. He stated they would show 8 and drop out of it in multiple occasions. I love the to hear this kind of stuff before the game. I can't remember the exact stat they showed during the game...something like the Vols offensive line averaged 319 lbs and the Zips defensive line averaged 269? Somebody can correct me if I'm wrong. All things considered, I think the defensive line played well, getting into the backfield multiple times and making some key stops on obvious run downs.

    ...how do you'll feel about Commack seeing some work at WR
    I don't think we are lacking in the WR dept. If we were...possible, but the way the corners played this Saturday, his value to the team lies on the D side of the ball. It's going to be fun watching coach Amato getting pressure on MAC QB's with the coverage we are able to provide on the outside.
