One quarter in and this is definitely one of the games of all time.

Yes. Toledo with their third possession. So far it's 8 plays, 104 yards (opening kickoff returned to the Akron 30), 14 points

Akron can't afford to fire Moorhead, I keep hearing. And maybe they can't. But can they afford to keep him?

No. It seems he's fairly limited. Luckily the offensive genius will figure out a way.

Johnson with the start. May as well see though with the season basically lost already, may as well see Roggow instead of a backup senior.

Wonderful start.

Does he have a redshirt available?

Ben Finley not dressed today.

Yes, it's wild that people are more annoyed about losing to a second 3-9 G5 team than they are about beating a tomato can.

I mean, this is good. Duquesne isn't an awful FCS team. But save some of it for teams with a pulse. Or 1-11, whatever

Yes we are.

Clearly the offensive genius thinks Johnson is worse.

I mean if that I was a 1 and it was a 101-48 game, that'd at least be entertaining

Ah. Crisis averted

6.5 point favorite over an FCS team that's had a lot of turnover from last year? I guess everything's fine and we'll just keep going ahead like nothing's wrong here.

Clearly we're waiting for Moorhead 's contract to expire so we can hire a 6-5 FCS coach whose school is glad to get rid of him. That'll get excitement back to the program.

UCLA and Virginia Tech decided today keeping their failed head coaches was more costly than getting rid of them. So I guess it's doable even when UCLA's stadium was 80% empty. Wild.

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.
