where's alex allen?

how do you have so much time to look at all these kids?you should vie for a spot on the recruiting staff.

his story reminds me of Garrett Wolfe and he's in the NFL now

Alleman obviously did this year and maybe Getsy will. Other Akron Alumni currently playing:Jason TaylorDwight SmithChase BlackburnCharlie FryeDomenik HixonMark Cherry???Kiki Gonzalez?anyway i looked on ESPN and they said the best draft possibilities are:Jabari ArthurJohn MackeyNate Robinson and Kris Kasparekidk about mackey and KK but i would like to know if Reggie Corner has a chancei have not seen him mentioned anywhere but i always thought he was good enoughwhat say ye?

memphis was 2-10 last year and has 5 votes

i think kiki registered a safety in that game, right? no other stats though according to espn.com

that guy was a pretty funny writer but i hope his prediction was wronggood news is that i beat them in NCAA Football 08 17-0 with a safety by Marquinn Davis who inexplicably plays DE in the game. Also, the option helped

let's go jerome royal and Marquinn Davis!

do u have a link?

look on the bright side. at least 3 wins this year

"Akron looked huge and fast, and they almost seemed to be Division I," he recalled. "They came to Texas with the attitude that there was no way we could play with them, and we picked up on that right away. It fired us up."the Bobcats pounded the Zips on the ground, rushing 69 times for 266 yards. MSU led 14-0 at the half, 17-0 early in the third quarter, and rolled to a 24-13 win.wow. 69 times for an avg. of 3.86 yards/carry

that's awesomeis there anyway you could make one for the ps3?

speaking of former Zips in the NFL, has any1 heard anything recently about Domenik Hixon?

impact players i believe are Reggie Corner, Jabari Arthur, and Brion StokesI'm not certain about Stokes, though.After playing a bit with the Zips (and winning the Wagon Wheel) it has become obvious that this will not be a walk-over to the MAC Championship.Ratings:Matt D.- rating of 50Igor- rating of 66John Stec- mid 60sO-lineEveryone was a 70 something except Kemme (80)QB:Jackson: 79Chris Jacquemien: 77Sean Hakes: 70Matt Rogers: 70i'll post the rest later

The bar is high. That’s where J.D. Brookhart placed it when he took this program to its first MAC title in 2005. His wide-open, spread offense creates an exciting product, but new pieces must fall into place quickly for the Zips to return to the contender’s role. High-profile games abound, with a gala against Army at Cleveland Browns Stadium, and a visit to Ohio State as one of three games against BCS conference teams.The key for those games and the ones on the MAC ledger will be defense. The Zips expect to force the issue by creating turnovers and putting opposing offenses in difficult situations. If that unit turns into a catalyst for momentum swings, Akron’s fortunes improve significantly.OFFENSEThe most glaring question mark is at quarterback, where the savvy Luke Getsy rewrote the record book during the last two seasons. The relief must come from a duo of third-year sophomores — Carlton Jackson and Chris Jacquemain — who need to embrace the demands of the spread offense and fast-track their way along the learning curve. Jackson saw very limited duty last fall, completing his only pass attempt for a grand total of two yards. Jacquemain has yet to throw a pass in a game.In Dennis Kennedy the Zips have a workhorse-quality ball-carrier, and they’ll be counting primarily on him to get the ground game going at a faster rate. The need for a spike in production is evident; this was the MAC’s lowest-producing group at 83.8 yards per game. Sophomore wideout David Harvey would give the Zips a game-breaker who led the nation’s first-year players with 914 receiving yards last season when he averaged 21.3 yards per catch on his 43 receptions. There’s a problem, however: Harvey was excused from spring drills in order to attend to personal matters. It is not known when — or if — he will return. With four new starters, the offensive line has less experience but more athleticism than last year. Therefore, the Zips are crossing their fingers that development is swift. Junior tackle Chris Kemme is the veteran of the group.DEFENSETwo of the three starters on the defensive line are new, and after last season’s struggles to mount a functional pass rush, there are more than a few concerns. Senior tackle Jared Cecchetti is the only proven commodity. He can also play end. Junior Eric Lively moves into a starting role at end after backing up at nose tackle last season. Sophomore Wallace Pendleton emerged from spring No. 1 at nose.The strength on the defensive side is here, led by senior Brion Stokes, who recorded 5.5 sacks last year. Junior Doug Williams is also experienced and has the ability to be a playmaker. Junior Kevin Grant, also a returning starter, will be the middle linebacker.Former NFL defensive back Emmanuel McDaniel signed on to coach Akron’s defensive backs, which feature Andre Jones and Brandon Anderson at safety and Reggie Corner and Davanzo Tate at corner. With depth in the rotation, Akron has the luxury of moving some players around to create different packages and put more speed on the field when needed. SPECIALISTSThe kickoff game has been an area of emphasis since the rule change puts the kicker at the 30 and opens up the return options. Harvey averaged 30 yards per return last season, after taking the first return of his career back 78 yards. His return would be a boost to the special teams’ units. Punter John Stec averaged 38.6 yards per kick last season, while Matt Domonkos has the inside track on the placekicking job.FINAL ANALYSISWith a solid background in the corporate world, Brookhart knows all about sales charts and progress graphs and the necessity to meet goals and expectations. His team fell short of its well-established quotas last season and is re-doubling its efforts to get the business back on solid footing. After two straight winning seasons, the 5–7 record of 2006 won’t do. They key will be at quarterback, where either Jackson or Jacquemain must emerge as a viable option. There is solid talent at the other skill positions and enough experience on the defensive side for this team to succeed — if Brookhart finds a signal-caller in whom he has confidence. sounds pretty accurate

Does Akron have a Dodgeball team? I hear Can't State does and that makes me sad. I love dodgeball but hate Can't. So do the Zips have a club or a team? If not, I would like to start one when I get there (2009).

hooray Defensive Linemen

Dammit. A golden flusher is on the Rams and Getsy is with SF. At least Alleman was drafted in the 3rd round.

this has to be one of, if not the best draft for MAC players. It's insane how many were drafted and how many went early

Fall of '09 would be great. I'll be a freshman and start my college career off right.

thank you. It looks like the QB position will not be decided as the canidates all seemed to have a poor game. I wasn't there so did anything exciting or significant happen?

I'm looking forward to freshmen playing since we had such a great recruiting class, it would be a shame to make all of them sit for the spring game.
