I LOVE hearing him speaking about game planning! First Akron coach I have heard since Owens & Huggins talk about it.

Ooo ooo, do me. Who was the only WR coach to coach two different Biletnikoff award winners?

The entertainment value of Zips basketball just decreased this year.

Try Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba

Judging from the few times I saw him on the field last Saturday, he needs to work on the speed of his routes.

So far the "fear the roo" campaign has been the only successful marketing campaign in over two decades. How long have we been with IMG? When is this marketing machine going to start "rollin?" I did see that Bart Simpson said "dadgum" on this weeks episode, so maybe IMG can build off of that.

Nice photos Keener, thanks for posting.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Agreed, nice article. An effective NG can set up a lot of good things for your defense. I think that Haloti Ngata is the most under-rated player on the Ravens D. I like what Mayock called him last night..."the dancing bear."

I'll base Pat's effectiveness in game situations, not practice. Some on this site have been fooled before.

Anybody see this guy in Tennessee? I'm thinking someone can do a "Z" this year.

Good for Clayton, glad the little guy is doing well. I think I have seen that pass in the photo before?

Thread from Aug of 2010 gives you some suggestions what to do in Akron

So according to your Vegas site 96% of the money went on Oregon and the line moved a half a point?!?

Lines don't move 4 points. ESPECIALLY an Akron football line. Do you know how much money would have to be bet on Akron to get the line to move a whole point?

I enjoyed TB saying "that is SEC talent that he is running away from"

Never heard of this guy, but this pick was on my radar this weekend.

Good thing that was titled or I would have thought someone slipped something in their water cooler.
