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.

Obituary A good guy who gave a lot of The University of Akron.

They are called "chin straps". One of the things about changing a part of the uniform critical to the safety of the players is a lack of proper fitting of all of the parts of the helmet. Maybe some extra time spent with the guys properly fitting their alternative uniforms might be in order. Shouldn't neglect player safety for a fashion statement.

2 PM start.

Interesting. Bill Hillgrove said it was a MAC crew officiating the game. The guy in me who hates the MAC leadership wants to say they put the word out that Akron was not to win. Helps in future employment opportunities....

Pitt Student Newspaper article Pretty good job for a kid.

MLive Article I Googled "emu football news" and a bunch of soccer articles came up. Never a good sign for a program.

Link I really don't appreciate indecision in an athlete. LBJ needs to decide if he is going with hair plugs (eye magnets) or not.

Nobody has discussed our efforts against this guy. Boyd is a future NFL player and the Zips held him for I think around 75 yards. I'm more impressed with that than the fact they held Pitt's top RB to under 100.

Thanks for the photos Dr Z. The two TD running plays are very revealing. Well conceptualized and executed plays. The Zips were able to use their big guys to move Pitt's big guys, leaving the smaller guys on Pitt's defense to deal with a much bigger player. Advantage Zips. TD Zips!

There is a name that has gone unmentioned, but is still important. Zach Paul seems to be doing a good job of punting this year. A fifty yard average is pretty darn good. Most average around 44. An extra 42 yards during the course of a game is a lot to make up. EDIT: I listened to the game on the way down to Columbia on Saturday as it was on satellite radio and the Pitt crew said Paul was on the Ray Guy watch list. The Pitt radio was both surprised and impressed with Akron's performance.

I wonder if using "The Force" would make him a better reporter? And by "The Force", I mean a fact checker.
