Well that was a series.

Not a great way to sustain success.

It's going to take a combo of Buffalo again playing down to its opposition and that patented Akron offensive genius to come away with an Akron win today. Probably be helpful if Finley doesn't throw it away on fourth down again.

Probably should extend everyone another eight years given this being predicted.

Nah, it's just with how great everything is with the Zips, it's just mostly a sidenote in the greatness of everything. No reason to discuss it's so awesome.

Probably? Maybe? I know there's a few different ones on TV if nothing else

Probably not this year. Their stadium is being rebuilt, and they currently play 70 miles off campus at the soccer stadium in Houston. Best comparison around here would be if Akron had to play their games at Arlin Field in Mansfield...those Tuesday games in an 0-7 season...eeeek (official attendance was 4657 fwiw)

Not that preposterous. Maybe hasty, but Colorado State doesn't want to think one bowl in four seasons (which they'll need a 4-1 finish to avoid) is good enough. I guess that Pac-12 money is helping them pay the $1.5M

The offensive line is legitimately fine. Finley just has a bad combination of "scared to take a hit" and "his internal clock is a sundial."

Yes, and at a fair number of G5 schools as well. Thing is with those "smart schools," the right NIL donors could put them in a very good spot, especially in the non-P2 leagues (e.g. all of those but Northwestern, though the Wildcats are even 5-2 right now)

That's going to be a big change going forward. I don't think we'll see too many coaching tenures even 12 years long like Franklin has (at least, at the P4 level). James Franklin started at Penn State in 2014. There were six FBS head coaches (Kirk Ferentz, Kyle Whittingham, Troy Calhoun, Dabo Swinney, Dave Doeren, Mark Stoops) with more tenure than Franklin (and three - including Miami's Chuck Martin - who started in 2014).

Well, we can't do that here. That would constitute progress, and things are forever hopeless.

Clear progress has been made by this team, and now it is abundantly clear that this team is night and day better than the prior few years and everything is working. Just wonderful work only losing by 14 to a 2-4 Ball State.

"I'm a chuck it down there, gotta be a receiver somewhere."

No no, not at all. They scored 28 and Ball State has beaten an FBS school. Things are great!

Hey a special teams miscue!

And now we're suspended. Do we get MAC after dark again?

The rare Zips game where the defense is the side failing more.

Only on poorly coached teams.

Goodness they keep fighting. Only took four years.

Well they scored points on multiple drives, and even against a solid 2-4 MAC school! That's clearly a major moral victory based on what we've previously discussed, so this team is obviously well on its way to great things.

Well, they're well on their way to losing today. You forget the minor detail that they're still not well coached.

Good answer. Only 3, but still they got points.

By some margin the best of the season.

Yes. What's fair is fair
