I look at these 3 games (maybe 4, unfortunately) as essentially a preseason. Through the first 3, outcome is exactly as expected. Try to look more for the strengths/weaknesses of the team than get too worked up on results when the P4 teams are spending probably something like 200x+ on roster than we are spending. That isn’t even considering operating budget issues. Aside from some correctible mistakes (stupid decisions), I feel our team will stack up pretty well in conference play just about everywhere aside from our defensive backfield. White’s injury obviously did not look good and no other corner has really shown much to me so far. Hopefully Abor is able to come back sooner rather than later, but not being dressed for the 2nd half is concerning . He’s a difference maker. Hopefully CB is okay. I noticed the brace off in the 2nd half. With that said, I’m not really clear whether our team is better with him at QB or Roggow. Roggow definitely stretches the field more, while CB is a dual threat. Seems very accurate, but we never really seemed to try to stretch the field with him. At the very least, it seems like we have 2 competent options at the position.

Looks like an all time choke job,

Coaches bring in the talent too. Do you think the coaches are coaching players to fumble, not catch a contested ball, field a punt like an idiot, rip a player off a pile, etc?

Maybe in the old days or if we had a reasonable NIL budget. Minnesota is paying their roster $20 million. We’re paying next to nothing.

#87 is a backup, but he’s stuck out to me in garbage time in every game so far.

Horrible injury game for us. CB, Abor, and now White

#17 literally just hurt Catrell White (our best CB). Smh

Don’t like that call on Kavals. That was a man’s tackle

Yep. Good coverage. Not much else you can do on that one

Horrible play by Patrick

Sure looks like a catch from Mason by me. The ball never bobbled..he had control.

That is not good.

Hoskins, Waye, and Sivon out. Looks like we have Durham back.

In all fairness, Rutgers is usually pretty historically bad. They were good the first time Schiano was there and stepped up a bit in his first few years after returning, but seem to be getting back to normal. Here’s to hoping they suck next year!

Haven’t seen anything posted yet, but was curious how enrollment was doing. When considering both UA main and Wayne campus, total enrollment looks to be up by 24 students compared to the fall of 25. Looks like a little less undergrad enrollment, with more enrolled in graduate and law school.

Shouldn’t the Info be paid off relatively soon? Thought I recalled reading 20yr financing at some point. If so, I think that’d help quite a bit with cash flow and reduce the need for 2 buy games annually. Not really sure how I feel about the change, but guess it does theoretically increase bowl eligibility chance. To me, perfect OOC would be FCS game, buy game against mid/low tier p4, another G6 school.

They have a lot of talent, but it’ll be interesting to see how they respond now that their CFP hopes are over.

Seemed like there were more media members asking questions than usual. Good questions too.

Double or double double oaked?

I was at a liquor store in North Lima, OH a while back and noticed Youngstown State had their own brand of bourbon (I always thought Youngstown supported their team much better than Akron does). I suspect this will lead to something similar for the Zips.

For those of you who were able to make it, what were the differences compared to prior seasons?

I think we’re only going to be able to keep Elijah Alexander for one year.

The tv timeouts are ridiculous.

This soft coverage defense is annoying. edit: now i see why.

So Akron to fumble the freaking ball during our big promotion
