You can't cover up a stench like that, you can only hope to move it somewhere else with a Big Ass Fan. Not one of the residential ones either. It would require one of the industrial size ones.

My bad. I was referring to the game Saturday. He had a TD throw and a run for a TD. He also had a long throw for a TD, if one considers 28 yards a long throw. When given the opportunity, he produced. I'm less concerned about his mistakes and more concerned about him (and everyone else for that matter) not being put in a better chance to succeed. EDIT: And in the category of "what have you done for me recently". The Zips are 4 of 5 in their last five trips to the red zone while KP was at QB in games against Pitt and EMU. They are 5 of 6 counting the FG they got last Saturday after a turnover, but KP was not on the field. So, I guess the question is....If the Zips have won the last two games and the team has shown improvement in the red zone, why should I care about what the season average is? My expectation is improvement over the course of a season and I expect the Zips to be better at the end of the season than at the beginning of the season. The wrong stats can paint an inaccurate picture as to where a team is in the course of a season. Another example would be, if someone measured a human every year of their life on January 1, for 18 years, what would the average height of that person be and why would it matter? The Zips may just be late bloomers this year. It is critical that one goes beyond reading stats to using their brain to interpret the stats. My most positive thought about the Zips is, we are a really good team with room for improvement. We are already better than the team that won the MAC. There is no doubt we should be competing for the league championship with a realistic shot at beating any team in the league.

Goes to show what a failure the War on Drugs has been...

Akron needs to get off to a faster start. QB needs to play better early and play calling needs to be better. If not, they could find themselves in a shoot out against a team with a QB who can throw the ball around decent enough to be dangerous. Miami has averaged 31 points per game the last three weeks and their offense has improved. The bad news for them is their offense now has three games in a row on film. The good news for us is we have defensive coaches who know how to watch film and exploit teams. The Zips are a solid team and will continue to play well this week. However, I can see this game being closer than expected with Akron holding Miami to a lot of field goals and Akron getting one more TD than Miami with some scattered field goals. Akron 34 Miami 33

Thanks LZip. In an effort that produced two easily forgettable drives, I forgot one.

Thanks for posting this Dave. Glad to see he is getting the recognition he deserves. KP does what it takes to win. Some want perfection. Not sure if those people ever turn on another college game. I watched several games yesterday. KP does what every other winning qb does. He makes big plays for touchdowns (28 yard pass yesterday. He limits turnovers. He scores in the red zone, one running and one passing yesterday. Does he mess up sometimes? Sure, but I think the entire offense was off track in the first half. KP may be getting thrown under the bus. ThebOC had better be better next week or they could easily find them on the wrong side of an insurmountable lead if Miami gets off to a hot start. In addition, KP averaged over 8 yards per attempt and 10 yards per completion. Those are winning numbers. I'll take those and zero interceptions over passer rating all day. Better yet, I'll take the winning.

How many when the game was still in the balance?

Wasn't he on the bench for only 3 plays? One could say he was the best part of the first half.

Pohl completed 68% of his passes. Threw for two, ran for one. That's good in any book.

I don't see the spark. Too bad Bowden couldn't bench Milwee for his lack of variety in the first half.

I think you are right. Game never in doubt. I still don't like it.

Just win. There is a certain luxury to having a stadium all to yourself.

7-3 in his last 10 starts. Should be a nominee for MAC Offensive POW.

So they can kick a FG instead of scoring a TD against a team they were probably going to beat anyhow. My guess is the well is officially empty on that move.

Very efficient day.

Unleash the hounds.

I don't think that's the answer. Right now, defense needs to stop giving up long first downs.

That 50+ yard loss was weird to read on ESPN Gamecast.

Need to get the running game going.

Hell ya! Go Zips fans!

Agreed, but don't you mean, TAEHOGTF?

I think Pohl is going to look like an All American this week against a bad EMU team. This will make him 7-3 in his last ten starts. Give me a guy who limits turnovers and is semi mobile all day long.

Exactly.

Nice pick. I have a trip to Charleston tomorrow and thursday. Trip to Florida Friday so I'll see you guys next week.
