Well I hope so. But I think the Zips are going to have to fire him. The new AD has his opportunity to prove he's serious about improving the program.

4-6 D3 schools don't pay that much for coordinators, and what he's doing with this offense isn't going to get him interest from anything better than that

Yeah. Defense did their jobs.

So we looking at what, maybe 1-11 this year? Figure Duquesne is bad enough to squeak by with a 21-14 win? That good enough for another two year extension for the offensive genius? The defense isn't anything special, but there's guys who could get a few NIL dollars from other teams on there...how many of them watching this nonsense and thinking "ya know, I could save my eligibility if I stop after four games."

I'm shocked this drive went off the rails.

I'm kinda surprised they didn't just run it. He had the guy, though.

Well, here's the chance. 80 yards from a touchdown, and approximately 77 yards from field goal range. Here goes nothing.

And then Finley panics when he can step up in the pocket and Akron gives the ball back.

And they did. Now Akron needs to get this game at the very least tied.

That was a nice drive. If this was the Finley we got every week, we'd all have a different opinion of him.

Don't complain just because you don't understand offensive genius.

I wouldn't be surprised to see that targeting call reversed so that he doesn't miss the first half. The hit on Finley wasn't targeting.

It wasn't forcible contact to the head/neck area using the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow, or shoulder. The contact was to Finley's chest.

That was quite a hit Finley took there.

Yeah. Sure, it can get worse. But it's time to see if it might be able to get better.

Too many A's on his report card.

It's almost like all 11 defenders knew exactly what that fourth down play was going to be.

While a true statement, they're at the point where you gotta give it a shot.

I mean...at this point the only plausible choice from...the opposing team's 31...is to punt on fourth and 10.

This much lack of discipline is yet another coaching issue.

That was a good fourth down stop to start the second half.

Which they HAVE done. Problem is, Moorhead's used a month's supply of touchdowns in the first half.

Akron's in this game, but they gotta score touchdowns against this offense.

It is. Luckily we have Joe Moorhead to make sure the points keep coming.

Insert "ineligible for Bowl" joke here
