they beat navy...who as we all know by now beat ol' ND...these guys will slam it at an akron D that is shaky against the run when healthy...unless the akron secondary can go man to man and give up no big plays i don't see akron moving the ball enough to win...

So how would you defend it?with fleming's defense?!!! please...these guys beat Navy for goodness sake...akron will not be able to run...might be best to let temple get their yards on the ground and avoid big plays by their offense...akron's secondary needs to play man on the temple receivers... and hope...the d line and linebackers such as they are can slow down the run...need to read at the line and TRY to shut down the run w/o overcomitting on the rush...my real fear is that the temple D will completely control the game...the akron offense will not be able to do what they did against Can't...don't be fooled by last weeks game..temple is playing for a MAC championship...they won't be ambushed...

on speculation..new head coach from a winning program.., Scott Browning from Edinboro State...Penn. State Athletic Conf....got 4 teams in the DII playoffs this year including the 'Boro..he is from OHIO... grad of OSU..22-11 since becoming head coach at the 'Boro in 2006..just a thought

temple has a solid resume for a mac team...they can and will slug it out on both sides of the ball...al golden changed qb's when he figured it would help the team...i don't believe fleming's defense can slug it out..never has been able to...temple wins the mac east...

OK, I thought I heard on this board that schools don't fire their coaches during the season...(?)What did Memphis gain by firing this guy at this point in the season? It is a move short on substance and long on fluff.hey...tommy west head coach...u of a(lol)

temple beat navy,who beat charlie's boys saturday...no matter what you think of ol' nd temple has played a good schedule...they can run straight ahead and play D...hope i'm wrong...owls 21-10...oh yes those ARE beautiful...sunglasses

i was a little puzzled about the way Can't played...i know some of the Can't fans were complaining about the play calling at the end of the first half when Can't settled for a field goal going to the lockeroom...no sacks for the Can't D?...Nicely is as poised and in control now as i think jacquemain ever was...he knows where to throw the ball, high,low inside outside,he doesn't just throw it toward the receiver...he also seems to be in control of the offense on the field...too bad Andre Jones doesn't have another year with this guy...

We give up 377 yards of passing from a freshman from Ken+, and we have a good defense?!? Not my idea of good D. I'll say for once I seen the staff try to put some pressure on the QB, but that's as far as I'm willing to go.A frustrating thing for me watching the game yesterday was we don't even mix up our coverage when we rush three. We appeared to play all zone behind the line. How about some man-to-man mixed in with the zone. A football team can only send five guys out for a pass. With eight defenders, surely some could play man-to-man with a last line of defense zone behind it. Our pass coverage is too passive.....well, our entire defensive scheme is too passive so why should I be surprised?actually when Can't went with 5 wides it was a lot of man...end of the game it was a lot of man... db's got beat deep a couple of times but keith couldn't hit them,thankfully...he seemed to have more trouble against the zone which isn't surprising...the pass rush is still weak...but the D came up big when it had to...

once again from a harsh critic...congratulations to the players and coaches...for one week at least everybody is happy...except the flushes of course...

Nicely looked like the real deal today...even as a frosh he throws the ball where it should be thrown(mostly) not just at the receivers...arm is strong enough...doesn't move to well yet...he handled the pressure of this game pretty well...much better than anyone one we have seen the last 3 years...

hey...its been a tough season...congratulations to THE PLAYERS and the coaching staff...any way,anyhow against Can't

if akron tries to throw the ball nicely will be sacked 10 times and the game will be over by haltime...line up in the I run at 'em, play field position and tell the defense(fleming) to stop making excuses and win ONE game...ain't gonna happen but hope springs eternal...If you watched the last few games, protecting Nicely from making mistakes wont cut it tomorrow. If we run for a yard on first down and second down Nicely will be a target, that's where 10 sacks would come from. K.S.U. does well against the run, throwing a pass or two on first down is the only way to keep them off balance and they wont be rushing Nicely. Also, field position, are you kidding us, with our special teams? I'm just trying to get this right, so we should run twice, get in third and long, miss a short pass, then rugby kick it for twenty five yards and let Can't get the ball inside the 50 every possession? No defense is that good, our defense can get us wins if the offense does something, like score over 20 points in a game.i know what you mean...gonna have to try some 3 step drops and at least try to frustrate their d-line...but running, not from the gun, but with Nicely under center is the only way to slow the rush...if akron tries to run from the gun against these guys its over early...the defense will have to play 60 minutes not 45 in this one...

if akron tries to throw the ball nicely will be sacked 10 times and the game will be over by haltime...line up in the I run at 'em, play field position and tell the defense(fleming) to stop making excuses and win ONE game...ain't gonna happen but hope springs eternal...

nothing personal(or is it) but most of us are awrae of the 'rivalry" unfortunately in the big picture for the program this one is pretty meaningless...there WILL be changes win or lose...us long time fans who have spent our money and attended games for years would love to see a win on saturday... we will feel good for a week...short term thinking however is not what is need at this dismal point...i hate to say it but doug martin will outlast brookhart...

obviously we are all 'experts' the night before the game...however, unless Akron changes character on offense Can't will sack Nicely 10 times and the game will be a rout in the 1st half...i don't think brookhart/montgomery/harris have the cajones or imagination to do it but...line up in the I with Tuzze as the lead back(he knows how to do that),put Nicely under center and run,run run right at Can't...maybe Alex Allen has 1 game left in him...play field position and tell fleming its time for HIS defense to finally win a game...otherwise Nicely gets swarmed and Can't wins going away...obviously if brookhart hasn't done it already he can't do it(the definition of insanity)...Can't is making a living off of qb sacks and letting their FRESHMAN QB throw the ball 30 times...no jarvis...it isn't going to save anybody's job but the fans will at least remain interested...i fear a long afternoon for the west side fans...

Those aren't thoughts. facts

interesting to see what some of the defenders are saying...i don't think there are haters...thats just some peoples' justification to save face...stop assuming everything is personal...its not...at least not for most of US...people are not attacking Mr. Brookhart personally...just the performance over the past 4 years..lets also remember that there are FAR more important callings in society than being a football coach... i am certain Mr. Brookhart and his family will 'survive' quite comfortably no matter what happens at the end of the season..

weak 1- ; weak 2 ; weak 3 ; weak 4 ; weak 5 ; weak 6 ; weak 7 i went to the 'cuse game last year and hundreds of those people were wearing greg robinson farewell tour tee shirts...they had the 2008 football schedule on them....

more comic relief...thats great!...

ya know we needed some comedy relief and we got it!!!!...thanks man...

lol and what planet are you watching from?...

they are making fun of us on ESPN 1350 folks!....

how bad? wait until november 7...by the way Can't is about to become a contender for the mac east...

don't look now but Can't is about to become a contender in the mac east...

unfortunately all the 'trends' in this one are against the Zips...playing poorly,on the road,injuries,freshman QB,revenge factor,non-conference game between 2 conference games,on and on...
