UMASS is going to lose to Marshall who was picked 6th in the SBC preseason poll. Not a strong start to their MAC tenure.

JMU is certainly helping with our offensive struggles with all of these free throws.

Young is far and away the best player on this team.

Its obvious that Akron was mostly worried about JMU's big men. The guards are over-helping on D and getting caught down low way too much.

People keep talking about coaches having success and leaving as a bad thing. I dream of a young coach coming in, establishing a winning culture for a few years and moving on to success.

Wyoming is not a "name" school, they are a g5 team that was 3-9 last season and fans are not freaking out after one game, they are freaking out after well over a decade of pure futility from a program that is funneling money into a pit. Please do not be disingenuous in your comments. If the football team had put up a tying effort against a ranked team, this whole board would be doing cartwheels of joy.

I certainly wasn't as high on the Zips as some on this board, but I bought into the idea that we should at least match our 2024 win total and maybe fight for bowl eligibility (even though that doesn't actually matter this year). For me, it was mostly because I was excited to see what Finley could do in a second year in the system with what I believed were some quality (for the MAC) playmakers. I can't believe how bad the offense looked tonight. It is incredibly obvious that there is no trust in anyone except for Sean Patrick to make plays, with how much they were trying to force the ball to him, and he got hurt and was out of uniform for the whole second half. I'm also incredibly frustrated that the Zips brought in a new guy to pretend to be Tahj Bullock, which just means come in for a single play, an obvious QB run for 3 yards, and then leave again.

2 straight plays where Finley panicked and ran into the defenders instead of stepping into the pocket

embarrassing

The D is playing their heart out. Offense has to find a way to reward them. This is sad

I agree. Summers and Cooper have seemed to have really stepped up to cover our losses in the lb corp.

Findley looks scared. He is hopping around on his drop backs and ducking on his throws.

Offense, outside of Patrick breaking some tackles, is looking rough.
