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.

SEC fans are a class act. Kentucky fans included per last season.

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.

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.

George reports he had surgery today.

One of the biggest surprises of the game for me. Well done! Keep up the good work, hopefully he'll hit some game winners for us this season.

Your source is absurd. The line is five and a half.

I would have liked to see a few more vertical passing play calls in the last two drives. DBs were sitting on the short stuff.

Should be fun when our own fans start to believe.
