Syracuse Students Staying Away in Droves
Dr Z replied to Captain Kangaroo's topic in Akron Zips Football
That's just Wong. -
K-ent Police are always picking on these guys.

This is from Dan Kadar's live blog from the game(2:24) Brookhart needs to really decide if Tyler Campbell should be getting this much playing time on the defense. It seems like he’s been on the bad end of a lot of plays.Here is a photo of such a play.Let's hope he gets it together this weekend. I'll have my eye on him next weekend, it's tough to get a fair judgment from tv.

Former Wisconsin RB, now jailed, Lance Smith Considers YSU and Akron
Dr Z replied to eguins's topic in Akron Zips Football
Memphis STOLE him from YSU. -
Nice list.My comment on #1, I don't remember CJ having such a quick release, he must have REALLY worked on this. Hope it continues.My comment on #7, unofficially (because I lost my notes), I think 5 different rushers went for 7+ yard gains 17 times.My comment on #9, what a different attack that was in comparison.My comment on #10, man I hope this continues. The other thing I would like to see stop is the RB moving from left to right or right to left just before the snap of the ball. Stop all the motion until we stop false starting every third play. The only team we are confusing is our own.

I never bought into these kind of excuses in sports...if we had better WR, then the QB would be good.If the OL was good, then our RB would be better...and so forth. If you are good at your position, you will shine. I understand that football is a team sport. Take for example just this week, as bad as the defense was, I can still pick out a defensive player that played great.Dwight Smith played for some pretty pathetic defenses and played some pretty awesome games.One doesn't always have to do with the other. Getting back to the "note to JD" topic. My note would read like this:Dear JD (and Jim Fleming) make a halftime defensive adjustment. Thank you, Dr Z.

Why would you want to play LB in a 3-3-5? I bet if we played the 3-4 he would be dying to play LB.If my goal was to play in the NFL, I would be very hesitant to play for a team that plays the 3-3-5 if I wasn't a DB.

Great news. While we are on the radio subject. I complained about this last year and nothing has changed this year.Could somebody in Akron marketing figure out how to get some of our games on Sirius/XM?Other MAC schools have figured it out.I know this is asking a lot since we can't even get a billboard on route 8, but K*ENT can.

This is from Rivals last year, but gives some insight on his ability:Evridge started at Kansas State and then transferred after Ron Prince succeeded Bill Snyder as coach. He sat out the 2006 season per NCAA transfer rules and still has two years of eligibility remaining. He proved himself in 2005 when he started six games for the Wildcats. Evridge set a couple of school freshman records, including six touchdown passes in a game. He also threw for 1,365 yards on the season and rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns against Nebraska. He passed for 357 yards against Texas A&M, which remains the ninth-best single-game passing total in Kansas State history.

Elton Alexander goes out on a limb1. There will be four bowl-eligible teams to come from a mix of these seven schools: Central Michigan, Ball State, Miami, Temple, Western Michigan, Bowling Green, Can't State. In a college football world where .500 is bowl-eligible, all seven of those teams could make that mark. Temple should have no nonconference trouble, with Army on the road and a rematch in Philly against Connecticut, which stole a win in their game last season. Go .500 in the MAC and the make-or-break game likely will be at Navy on Nov. 1.2. Central Michigan quarterback Dan LeFevour will earn some mention in the national Heisman Trophy discussion. LeFevour will get an early shot at national attention with a Sept. 6 game at Georgia. CMU also plays Sept. 20 at Purdue, a team against which he already has played twice in his career and posted 656 yards passing and six touchdowns. Despite the string of outstanding MAC quarterbacks, none ever has finished higher than fifth in the Heisman voting.3. There will be no shortage of offensive fireworks from MAC teams this season. Every team returns a quarterback with some starting experience. Five MAC teams averaged more than 30 points per game last season.4. Don't be surprised to see a MAC team -- Central Michigan or Ball State -- creep into the Top 25. The upset is on the tee for Western Michigan at Nebraska on Saturday. The Broncos have been on the edge of several major upsets in recent seasons. WMU's offense under seasoned junior quarterback Tim Hiller should be able to hold its own against the Cornhuskers. The other early upset to watch for is Miami at home against rebuilding Vanderbilt on Thursday. Miami should have one of the top three defenses in the MAC. And CMU at No. 1 Georgia on Sept. 6 certainly has some intrigue.5. For the first time in MAC history, both Akron and Can't State will have winning seasons. Akron gets a break in the schedule by not playing Miami this season. Can't hosts Akron this season for the Wagon Wheel on Oct. 4.

Nice article. I like "Jack's" confidence. I hope it translates on the field.

Okay I did a quick excel chart to represent our defensive numbers last year. The red line represents our averages. 29 points given up per game. & 409 yards per game.The first half of the season we were under our average 3 times and over our average 3 times in points against.The second half of the season we were under our average 3 times and over our average 3 times in points against.The first half of the season we were under our average 3 times and over our average 3 times in points against.The second half of the season we were under our average 4 times and over our average ONLY 2 times in yards against.While I hate the 3-3-5. I'm not sure I see a whole lot of truth to that statement. Just cause you print something in the PD doesn't make it true.I know this is only one year and he used the word "history", but I took the most recent history due to time.
-
I wish Ellen would have backed this statement up with some stats."Defensively, the 3-3-5 defense, is good for making big plays. But historically, as the season wears on, this unit wears down."

Try asking here someone could probably tell you.

IMO Coaching staff should have enough information to know which direction to head on September 7th.
