  1. Game 3—@Marshall Thundering Herd

    in Akron Zips Football

    Posted

    Akron reeled off 34 points in the second quarter in a 65-38 win over Marshall in front of 24,258 silent fans - The Herald Dispatch 

     

    “It’s obvious we didn’t play well and you’ve got to give Akron credit,” Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said. “I thought (Akron head coach) Terry (Bowden) and that staff did a great job of coming in here and having that team ready to play.” The game featured a combined 1,084 yards between the teams. Marshall outgained Akron, 560-524, but also topped the Zips in penalty yards. The Thundering Herd was called for 17 penalties that cost it 180 yards. Akron was flagged 13 times for 136 yards. In the end, Marshall’s 17 penalties, four turnovers and a punt block for a touchdown were too much to overcome.

    We expected a good game....

    Thanks for stopping by with the good wishes. Can you show me anybody in WV that expected a "good game" before noon on Saturday? I saw lots of these predictions.

     

    Thunder in Paradise Prediction – Marshall 49 – Akron 17

    I suspect the Zips will hit a couple of big plays against a Marshall secondary still trying to find itself. That same secondary will also come up with at least two turnovers, thanks in part to a Thundering Herd pass rush that should begin to overwhelm the Akron offensive line in the second half. On the offensive side of the ball, Litton and company will have another big day through the air. But, I also look for Marshall to establish more of a consistent ground game in week two than it did in week one, after a mediocre performance by the Herd offensive line in run blocking.

     

    Good luck the rest of the season. Wish we could play every year, always love playing Marshall.

    I only have basic cable, so do not get it on TV. The CBSSports app on Amazon FireTV doesnt offer live streaming for whatever reason, and you need either a cox, frontier, or optimum cable login to watch online. I'm probably going to have to go to a bar for this one...

    Get the Kodi app for your FireTV, and then side load Sports Devil, and or Phoenix.

    I have never seen the Badgers QB play, but I know he is better than Voytik. I have never seen a Badgers WR play, but I know they are not as good as Boyd. I'm hoping the game plan is similar. Good luck. 

    Circling back, I have to admit, I was impressed with Jazz Peavy's game. I'll have to keep an eye on him. Good luck against Georgia State this week.
