And a timeout our first play of scrimmage. My god.

Turned on the game a minute late and already missed a TD from Ohio. They chose to take the ball and I don’t blame them one bit.

He expects 25 total openings, while mentioning up to 32. This tells me to expect very few additional HS commits and to expect another 10+ players to transfer out, considering we only have something like 12 scholarship seniors. I think that's a smart move for this year. There are some scholly guys who aren't contributing multiple years into their career, so likely won't ever, and I don't see a ton in the way of younger guys who are ready to step up and fill spots of those seniors graduating.

thanks for sharing. I came away more impressed with Lester Miller and Darius Owens than I think I originally was, though all look like players. Who stuck out to you the most?

Huh. Took their foot off the gas up 10 at most the whole game?

Every Thursday at 6 I believe. Should be able to live stream on Akron Zips Facebook page or listen on 640 WHLO.

I wondered what the true share of sacks from OL vs DJ holding the ball too long was, as it’s not uncommon to read posters saying he’s holding onto the ball too long. 3.5 for OL vs 2.5 for DJ last game.

Probably a good idea considering we have half the students we had a decade ago.

Ohio, more so Rourke seems a little better than I thought. With that said, they're still a middling MAC team at best and I expect us to compete and have a chance to win vs all MAC opponents until proven otherwise. Clean up the inexcusable mistakes and we got a chance.

All the uniforms look slick a hell IMO.

Spot on. Many good D players and defenses in general during the Bowden tenure. Offense, not so much.

Eh, even if Grimes was hurt, Shocky was returning at the beginning of the season and I don't believe anything negative happened where you wouldn't want to put him back there. Still a big believer in the staff and not everything was going to be fixed in a shortened offseason (and depth/overall talent is still an issue), but there were some questionable decisions this game.

$h!t

Golden Nelson wasn't dressed yesterday. Just wearing his jersey on the sidelines, so I assume he has an injury of some sort. Gathings was another player not dressed, think he aggravated something against MSU.

We gave them the game as much as they won it. This team can win a few games in conference play, but have to stop beating themselves. The staff would appear to still have multiple holes that need upgraded as well, but that wasn't all going to happen in one short offseason.

We have 2 timeouts, why aren't we calling them instead of spiking?

Why in the hell do we have a true freshman out there fielding punts when we have Shocky and Grimes as options? Not only did he turn it over, he tried to call a fair catch at the 3 yard line.

Liking these Clyde Price runs.

Noticed that too.

3rd and 2 on fringe of FG range then go back on 2 consecutive plays.

This team isn't better than us. Clean up the penalties and no more turnovers and we win.

Do we not teach our DBs to look for the ball?
