Zips are an eight and a half point favorite. Weather is calling for early morning showers, clearing in the afternoon, high of 49. Probably around 40 near kickoff.

Did you happen to watch HBO's Hard Knocks LA Rams this season? It was interesting to see how much responsibility and admiration Rock Gullickson had. It stuck out to me as a little unconventional. Maybe it's not. I'm not trying to make any points, just an observation. I know little about the situation.

That would be the best improvement to the JAR, and for the team.

MTB has scored a touchdown in four straight games this year, Marshall, App St, two in Kent, and then Miami. Has anybody else on the team done that this year? I wonder what his injury is?

15, 17, something unreal for Akron. I'm not getting into another one of these off topic debates. 2015 national rankings opponents yards per game.

Not sure? We had a top 15 defense in the nation last year. Top 15, at Akron. This year's team is young and injured on the defensive side of the ball. It's not fun to watch right now, but that's the hand coach Amato is dealt. Next year, most returning starters will be older, stronger, more experienced, and hopefully healthy. I would also guess (from a successful history) we will have two new players in the front seven rotation next year that aren't on the team this year. I hope that is enough to make a difference. The one change that I would like to see for the remainder of this year is some secondary blitzing. We have to take some chances to create turnovers to help us get stops. On offense for the remainder of the year, I would run less on first down in the first half of games. Beat BG, and get bowl eligible so all the young guys can get some more practice. Go Zips! Go Bowden Ball, Year 5, 6, 7, 8...

Congratulations to UAZippers, zippyfan34, LZip, kreed5120, 72 Roo, zippy_ua_00, and Hilltopper. They answered all three questions correct. Woodson threw for 316 yards, and Toledo rushed for 290 yards.

The Zips have had 3 halftime leads this year.

Use the ninja remote, and turn on what u want.

Interesting. I wonder how other coaches (Owens/JD...) compare? You could also use odds. I thought I remember Pitt being the biggest upset in Akron's history (odds-wise), no? Michigan should have been.

Both games on at basically the same time. As a fan of both, I'm choosing the Zips tonight, I was wondering if anyone is doing the same? Feel free to describe how you might do both, one, or none...

The original question.

Again, take this site with a grain of salt, but Warren Ball is not listed for the first time in a long time. I'm not sure Ball playing will change any of my answers, but some may consider.

20. Western Michigan With Boise State falling to defeat at Wyoming, the bye week has been kind for Western Michigan. That leaves them as the frontrunners to be the top team outside of the Power-5, provided they can keep winning, and their season-opening win over Northwestern looks pretty decent at this point. Inside linebacker Robert Spillane leads the team with 25 defensive stops, which has helped him to an 84.8 overall grade.

Injured yesterday. The injury happened midway through the game and was a very somber moment for the Chargers, who have already several significant knee injuries this season. As the training staff looked at Brown on the field, several of his teammates were kneeling on the ground near him in concern. That being said though, he did manage to walk off the field on his own power. At this point the extent of the injury is not known, but it’s easy to fear the worst for the young linebacker. If it does end up being serious and he’s forced to miss more time than just the second half of Sunday’s game, it would be a very significant loss for the Chargers. Brown, a fifth round pick this year out of Akron, has been filling in for the injured Manti Te’o and has been doing an excellent job thus far. He’s even earned high praises from several of his teammates.

The Zips are an eight and a half point underdog. The weather looks to be great (High 76 with 10 percent chance of rain) for November. Hopefully the Indians can win on Tuesday so there isn't a game 7 conflict for some.

I'll guess no, and I'm a Doctor.
