He wasn't great by any stretch, but that percentage did (in his defense) get hurt by more than a couple drops.
Of course, when a QB is inaccurate, receivers don't always have time to react to a good pass (see: Watson, Deshaun)
Right. And as such...the defense really hasn't been good. But yeah it doesn't look awful except for when NIU makes them look silly time and time again.
I'm sitting here thinking "really this defense hasn't played that badly today," and they've given up 29 points and 405 yards in a driving rainstorm.
That's the standard...
Akron overcame (self-inflicted) adversity to get the win. Even if it feels more like an EMU loss. Can it propel them to more? Bowl game technically still alive...
Oh we can't do that, it would be pooh poohed because Akron wouldn't be able to fund everything by breaking everyone in three money games a year.
Let's never mind they might actually win a few and get people to have something that resembles excitement...they can't make millions getting mauled.
