That is one crappy offensive play call Garbage right there ...... Total misread of the coverage and defense

C'mon now ...... Move the ball Some short throws for Pohls confidence

-6 yards in q1 ......... That a way to establish the run

The last three games are on the Coaches in my opinion .............. Team has lost confidence and is looking for some leadership. No offensive leadership to be found (on the field or coaches) and the defense seems to be frustrated with the offense. This is an easy game really, from a coaching perspective 1. Run the ball .............. This will open up passing lanes (offense 101). 2. CATCH the ball ........ Enough said 3. HOLD on to the ball ... He who turns the ball over less .......... WINS The defense will be fine ......... We have not shown AT ALL this season that this offense is for us. I know we won't abandon it (and shouldn't), but if the Coaching staff cannot simply look at film of each game this year and make the adjustments needed to win games, we are going to struggle through the last three games (and will sit at home during bowl season). Still plenty of good things that can happen this year to move the plan forward. No doubt that we can win the next three, but the inconsistent state of our offense (to be kind), and the inability (or unwillingness) of the Coaching staff to adjust to our current personnel will make all three games a challenge. We are not only looking for more consistency from the players, but more important is the consistency of our coaches. Keep the faith !!!!

OK ....... They both look good on film

Anyone know why that would be ? Appears there may be a couple of guys like that

Also don't see this guy on the roster:.............. 2014 signee Anthony Clark DL 6-4 276 Akron, Ohio / Buchtel HS

Appears I may have to join the crowd next year on some road trips up to see the boy !!! Sounds fun

HMMM ?? Sure do like his film !!

YES !!! There we go !!!! .................. Great photoshop with the "Z" on the jacket !!

HERE HERE !!!!!

Funny I was looking at the 2014 class and cannot seem to find this kid either ................. Would red shirts be on the roster ? Probably not

43rd rated defense in the country is above average but given the offenses we have faced, I agree with your point ................... I'm sorry to keep saying it, but depth is a big factor. Ones and two's on the DL are solid, but you have to have a very solid three line rotation .............. Need some longer, more physical corners that can play the hard press I am honestly not worried about the defense, it's far ahead of the offense and getting stronger .......................

Seems like alot of QB's on the roster ..... Kincade's film is nice ............... He seems to have a cannon for an arm

Kincade looks to be a big pro style QB ................... Is he equipped to navigate Bowden ball ?

So what is the low down on the list of QB's on the roster ? .................. Lot of young guys and we have a commitment from this 2016 kid Is this kid Chapman going to be the future or is Woodson the man ? 9 Tra'Von Chapman QB So. 6-1 210 Can't, Ohio / ashland / Pittsburgh / Roosevelt HS 15 Nick Hirschman QB Sr. 6-4 235 Los Gatos, Calif. / Colorado / Los Gatos HS 6 Matthew Hoyer QB So. 6-4 195 North Olmsted, Ohio / Mercyhurst (Pa.) / St. Ignatius HS 18 Chandler Kincade QB Fr. 6-5 230 Beaver Falls, Pa. / Blackhawk HS 16 Kyle Pohl QB Jr. 6-3 217 Farmersville, Ohio / Valley View HS 23 Devyn Wood QB Fr. 6-2 185 Mount Orab, Ohio / Western Brown HS 13 Thomas Woodson QB RFr. 6-1 233 Monroeville, Pa. / Gateway Senior HS With 2 freshmen and a red shirt freshman ................ These are Bowden recruits ? Will they be in the mix for playing time next season ?

Say what you want, but this, to me, is the ole square peg in the round hole scenario with Pohl Pohl is not the QB for this system .... Not that he is a bad kid (don't know enough), but he is not a leader and certainly does not have the swagger and confidence to direct "Bowden ball" ........ Thus square peg and round hole. There was talk that Pohl should transfer .... Agreed and if he can get another year and find a school, Bowden should help foster that (and may be for all I know) If Woodson is the future (not enough knowledge of the other QB's) .... Then I believe Coach Bowden has to make that decision and roll the dice now. Some thoughts: Not sure if Bowden has the trust in his offensive assistants ..... Defense has a vision (Identity) and a great mix of experienced position coaches and young GA's ..... Offense has a philosophy (Bowden ball), but no execution or personnel to perform at the level of the defense. Defense was on point until late when the were pretty tired and beaten down ..... If offense doesn't catch up to the defense level of play, going to potentially be internal team issues, Not educated yet on the young guys on the roster, but it's kind of obvious that the recruiting focus needs to be on the offensive side of the ball. I believe there may be a couple of transfers on offense (skill positions) that will have a couple years of time of UA, and the O-line needs to be established ... As I know more of the defensive side, the recruits and transfers coming on in defense fit the defensive identity (SEC type), the sophs and jrs this year have bought in. I think they will be in pretty nice shape. Need to get some bigger corners if possible, some pretty long receivers coming up in the conference Strength and conditioning program has been turned over .... More of a lean, quick and physical athlete. More SEC styled if that makes sense. Coach Stoud's philosophy (as the Director) is completely different than in the past and Coach Gildy and his staff are young with great backgrounds in winning programs (Mt Union and Oklahoma) .... An aspect that is every bit as important, but never discussed or considered. Facilities are top notched (for program size) and they are spending on strength and conditioning (all the way through the sports performance/training program) ..... again maybe not considered unless brought to point Third year of the five year plan ( 1-11, 5-7, 7-5 (6-6) ........ ) Obviously not where we as fans want to be ( or most of you as Veteran fans), but seems right on track For me (as I understand myself), ....as a fan I'm disappointed because of the way we have lost these games, not that we lost them. You have got to beat the teams that you should beat (at any level), and rise up to the level of the opponent in the big games and compete. As a parent of a kid coming into the program, it is still exciting as Bowden is right on track thus far in the plan he laid out to us .... Record shows the progress, 2014 and 2015 recruiting classes seem to be an upgrade, still need the transfers for the next couple of years. Just a different perspective ........ To say have patience is a joke to you veterans I know, but that's what it's going to take If we can say, we "should have won the game", then we can agree that it is a better position than a few years back when that was the hope and not the expectation ( As I understand from you all ) ........ LOL Keep the faith

Thanks Mother Nature ........you suck !! Gotta say and sorry to the veteran Zips fans but the unis look damn good on TV

Well I must say that if I were not 10 hours away, I would man up and be at the game (easy for me to say !!), but I can also say "Thank You ESPN2" !!!! We will be cheering the Zips on from the Dirty South !!!! Go Zips

That game is unfortunately on a Friday night .............. High school football semi-finals here in Georgia Would like to make it to Detroit, but that means Buford would need to get beat !! Guess we will watch on TV

LOL ............. How many will jump back on the bandwagon when UA makes it to Detroit ?

10 hours away and fired up for the game tomorrow !!! Although its a Tuesday night game (which sucks) ....... Glad we can see it on TV Would really like to see an all around game by the zips ....... Back on track for the home stretch.

So who does everyone believe will start at QB ?

Thank You ....... +1

SMH ................... Fickle we are !! Victory is an addicting drug !!! Let the process run it's course folks . A five year plan is exactly that ................ A five year plan. Consistent progress is being shown, the last two weeks have been a let down, but that is part of rebuilding.
