Afraid it's too late in the season to expect things to change. Finley is what he has been and hasn't really progressed. Gant is really the only offensive player you can hang your hat on. O line still isn't good enough to take over a game. As a unit the D could be servicable but but isn't going to take over against quality opponents. The lack of program progress is on the head coach immediately. But goes to the people in the athletic department long term. Until a REALISTIC vision for the program is established it's the same movie season after season.

Was at the game. Beautiful sunny day with wife and granddaughter. She got ANOTHER picture with Zippy. Anyway. Defensively that unit played well enough for Akron to have won.Miami ain't chopped liver. The defense should sue for non-support. Offensively it was pretty offensive. I saw the same QB making the same mistakes he has forever. If he holds the ball longer than about 3 seconds you can see he loses the field and tends to just throw the ball up. Still has a hard time stepping into the pocket. Throws to much off back foot and thus is inaccurate. AND, you can't continue throwing picks into the end zone to covered receivers. Drive and game killers. But, thats Moorehead's recruit and he hasn't been able'to coach him up' much. Whats with the center and wide receivers being called for motion penalties!!!! Thats ridiculous. I thought the O-Line played well considering they were playing a good defense. Gant can run. Bottom line Moorehead's offense doesn't score enough. Curious as to why he didn't run even more. Did Moorehead lose track of downs at one point in the second quarter when the game was still close? Did he go for it on 4th down and fail? Someone help me with this one. Game management is a bit rocky still. Y'all can debate whether Moorehead should be fired or not. Thats becoming nauseating. I said 4-4 in the MAC would be OK with me. Lets play the games and see. Doesn't do any good to speculate about who they can or can't beat.

I repeat my above question.

Wherever they can be competitive. Think they could compete against the S.Dakota, N.Dakota and Montana teams among others, in FCS? Personally I would question that also.

Not about 'saving money' after lierally decades of this. They have to play at a level where they can be consistently competitive. Now they are not.

All the fire the coach fans are out in full force. Again, this isn't about 1 coach or a QB...etc. This program can't compete at this level...... Let's frigging move on. I have season tix but likely only make 1 one more game. Not gonna lose sleep on weeknights for this garbage.

Was at the game. To me this one was pretty meaningless after Wyoming and UAB. Duquesne is a BAD FCS team on both sides of the ball. Zips ran the ball well. Finley still made his bad passes against a bad D but thankfully it didn't matter. The real season starts now. I'll take 4 wins in the MAC to admit there is progress. Otherwise time for the program to move on.

College football is a business. Whether its Ohio State, Akron or Indiana PA. Businesses fail all the time. Why? Isn't it usually because the people with the corner offices on the 24th floor make bad business decisions? They hire bad personnel. They present a bad product. They don't correct problems when they present themselves. Who hires the AD? Who hires the coaches? Who 'hires' the players? When the folks at the top keep making bad decisions again and again you get the same results again and again. The effects trickle down. The definition of insanity? We all know it. Time to make some bold decisions about the direction of this football program.

Said it before say it again. The problems with this program go beyond 1 coach or a few players. This is and has been an organizational problem for literally decades. And now with the changes in DI college football, programs like Akron etc. are just going to fall further behind. Agree with kreed can't put lipstick on a pig. A shame. A winnable game.

Nobody here wants them to lose. Some posters are like the you lose I win people that we all know. At times the devil is NOT in the details.

Well at least Wyoming won another game.

Yesterday is another example of why I hate payday games. I see little value in them.Kids get hurt, discouraged. Hold on! I know Akron and others play these games for the big paycheck. That to ostensibly operate and IMPROVE the quality of athletic programs. Since we are talking football I ask, where has been the long term IMPROVEMENT in football? Ain't happening. Hasn't happened consistently here. You can't blame one or two people for what's going now, This has been a systemic problem with the football program for years. Apparently those payday funds have not been well spent at least as far as football is concerned. When I see OU beating WVA and being consistent year in and year out. I see Toledo, Miami etc.being competitive year in and year out. They can fire another coach. Bring in another 'savior' and where do we end up? Time to look in a different direction for the program.

Respectfully your position advantages don't seem realistic given what we have seen.You may call it a must win. But that seems meaningless until they actually win a so called must win. We have had plenty of those.

Nebraska will name its score. Gonna be at least half a hundred.

Finley was bad from the jump. Puzzled me as I watched. The O line didn't seem THAT BAD. something else going on there.
