This incomplete pass - incomplete pass - short check down pass for 1 yard offense ain't going to win this game. What the heck are they doing?! So far this half we're 2/6 for 0 yards.

I say the same thing every Saturday and Sunday. Literally just hit open receivers, don't make dumb mistakes and tackle. It shouldn't be this difficult. But for some reason my teams just can't do the most basic stuff. We went from 10-7 and now it will soon be 21-10 in a blink of an eye.

Aside from a fantastic punt that led to the nice TD and an okay scripted first drive, it's been a really inconsistent game. Zips can't run the ball or really do much on offense and the defense can't tackle.

This is an embarrassing performance by the defense. Just giving them free first downs.

Seems like whenever they show him he's just shaking his head and looks sort of confused. Maybe he's frustrated that the team has had so many missed opportunities this game to get back into it. Is it too much to ask for the Zips to have a QB that can hit wide open receivers?

Agree completely. The nice runs set up the PA shot. Have to capitalize.

Wide open TD and Finley completely missed him. Can't happen in this game.

Have to be aggressive if you want to hang with an SEC appointment. Don't play scared. Try to throw the ball downfield. We have a QB and WRs who can make plays. What's the worst that can happen? We lose? That's happening anyway. Take a chance at least. This super conservative, control the clock stuff ain't working.

College Football 25 Patch was released yesterday. Seems like these are being released every 2-3 weeks. Still no fixes for Akron's incorrect field logo and no new uniforms. Not sure how they can updated 22 teams, but Akron keeps getting ignored.

Aside from maybe two nice passes from Finley and a few good plays on defense there wasn't much positive to take away from this game. The offense never got into a rhythm and were assisted by a handful of dumb Colgate penalties. An average MAC team would have blown out that team. We have a long way to go and all 3 facets need to get better.

Why the heck are the Zips throwing with 2 minutes left in the game? Run the clock out and end this. Even though I picked Colgate to cover, I want this game to be over with.

Colgate has done a great job out Akroning us here. If the defense keeps making stops we'll be just fine.

I take that back. Now we are at the lowest point. Finley runs around and throws the ball from the Zips sideline while the lineman takes a cheap shot.

This might be the lowest point in the history of Zips football right now. Holy s$#&.

You've got to be kidding me.

It's crazy how far we've come from this: To having the best uniforms in the MAC, and potentially the country. I just hope gold pants exist and we see a gold/blue/gold set at some point. Maybe add some blue helmets in the mix too.

Something about NE Ohio football fans and losing their minds after a few games. Between the Zips and Browns, I have watched nothing but losing ball for almost my entire life. I'm not going to give up after 0-2. Especially when the Zips first 4 games are against two BigTen teams and one SEC team. Just have to stay as healthy as possible and hope for the best during conference play. Having said that, if we don't win Saturday by double digits I may join the doomers lol.

I'm not going to say anything about Kent until we play Colgate. At this point, I'm just expecting the worst.

Where was that all first half?!

Yup not our day. Can't expect you to hang with a Big Ten team if you can't even get plays off on time. Not to mention a complete collapse to end the first half. Really thought our offense would be impressive under Finley. Super conservative playcalling. But honestly he seems inconsistent and the receivers aren't doing him any favors.

There's this weird trend in football and has been going on for years. It's even been added to video games. Players wearing big baggy undershirts that are sometimes a different color than the actual jersey. Really doesn't make any sense to me because manufacturers talk about all this technology that makes jerseys lighter, tighter, more breathable, etc. Yet wearing a big shirt underneath all that just defeats the purpose. Not only that, it gives defenders something else to grab onto. Could be worse though. Remember when a Duquesne football player went viral for looking like Fred Mertz out there?

Especially since they've literally had like 8 months since the last home game to get it up and they announced the new video board back in July.

I didn't get to watch much of the game but we did seem to hang with OSU for at least 3 quarters or so. It's encouraging yes. But I feel like this happens every season that I've been a Zips fan. We hang tough against the big boys, but can't deal the deal. Then have a mediocre run in MAC play. Not trying to be a doomer, because I want to be excited. Just feels like we really don't know our team until we start conference play.

😂 Not going to lie I've had way more fun playing that game than anything else that has come out in decades. I won two National Championships with Finley and then recruited a mobile QB. He's a 99 speed but sucks at everything else. I just run around all game.
