We are playing like a terrible football team. Why even try to throw the ball on 3rd and 25. Stupid Stupid Stupid!!!!

The receivers have to help the quarterback. Daniel George, go to the ball if it is thrown short. That should have been a completion. He was flatfooted. Should not happen at this level.

If you want expectations, mens basketball starts in 3 weeks.

I just checked our record in the last 5 years (2018-2023) and we are 6 and 43 with a total of 3 conference wins. We have watched some really bad football the last 5 years. It is amazing that Akron football has any fans. Watching our offense last week for 3 quarters was painful, especially the decision not to switch quarterbacks until the 4th quarter. However, the defense this year except for Northern Illinois has been good and has kept us in games. The Indiana game was fun to watch until the very end. I am just hoping for a competitive game where our defense keeps us in the game and our offense is watchable.

I watched Bullocks high school tape and he looks amazing However, he had all day to throw and his receivers are wide open. It makes me wonder how do you evaluate a high school quarterback that is on a superior team that never faces any pass rush and can pick and choose to pass to wide open receivers. Obviously, in Akron he has players in his face and his receivers are not wide open. It is great that he is athletic and has a strong arm but he is not making quick decisions and has had difficulty throwing the ball. Are the high school quarterbacks that are on teams with superior talent at all positions and consistently win championships and break records overrated and struggle when college levels the playing field?

Outrageous? Paying $20 to watch Akron football this year.

I am adding to the list: Bullocks attempt to thrown the ball out of bound that was a wounded duck and was intercepted by Central Michigan. You may be a bad passer but you should at least be able to throw a ball out of bounds when the rush is getting to you. And the offsides on the CMU field goal attempt that eventually led to a touchdown instead of a field goal.

Everyone on this board watched Bullock for 7 quarters and came to the same opinion, he is not a division one quarterback. What is he doing in practice to get the confidence of the coaches?

Joe should have made a change at half time. At least we made it close and the 4th quarter was watchable which I guess is the low bar we have for Akron football.

Can our special teams not screw this up so we have a chance to win this game?

I would have gone for it on 4th and 7.

Our special teams are not looking so special. We lost 20 yards when our punt returner does not catch the ball and now a 20 yard punt.

Lets vote!! Undercuffler!!!!

I am keeping this game on just to see if he can move the team. For better or worse this move should have been made at the half.

They are offsides on the field goal and gives them 4 more downs. The ineptitude is beyond anything I have ever seen.

CMU is starting to run the ball with some big holes. Unless there is a fumble or another interception I see another score and game over.

Put one of them in and let this board decide before everyone turns this game off.

What are the coaches looking at when they believe Tahj is a division one quarterback?

Does anyone on this board see any improvement? I think he looks worse. Drops back and cannot find a receiver. Our offense is going backward. Bring on Jeff.

We get 7 yards on first down. Run the ball on 2nd down!!!!!!!!!! Get a first down!!!

Why not call a time out when the clock is about to expire. This offense is so bad. There is no way the defense can keep Central from scoring when our offense keeps going backwards. Pathetic is too kind to explain what we are watching.

We have 70 yards of total offense. I can name the 2 plays where we got the most of those yards. The pass to the receiver who ran across the field on the roll out and the run by Tahj. Other than that, zippo

Almost every time Bullock drops back he cannot find a reciever. He needs to count to three and throw the ball. On third and 20 he could not even hit the short guy for 8 yards. We need to just run the ball because he does not have the skills of a drop back quarterback.

That is 2 straight third and longs they made when we are playing zone and a guy is running wide open with nobody near him. That is on the coaching, not the players.

Third and ten and an easy pass up the middle. Not sure why they were playingj zone on that play but made that an easy throw and catch.
