P-Mac's ABJ Zips - Ball State story

[Blue & Gold]

P-Mac is very fair in this story, telling everyone how talented Ball State is and mentioning that Akron's wideouts should have come up with a number of passes that were dropped. Also mentions 3 deflections for INT's. http://www.ohio.com/news/top_new/28353164.html

i like the a writer blames tipped passes for the loss.i agree there were some passes that were tipped and turned into int.the fact is though cj played a bad game.he threw alott of passes into double coverage that should have been picked off by ball state that were bad decsions.he was lucky to only have four ints.he also fumbled the ball that gave ball state a int.i am not blaming him for the loss because the loss was a truly team effort.if the dl does not get healthy soon it may not matter what cj does.

Dude, get off Jacq's back. He played a pretty decent game. It is absolutely true that all of the interceptions with the exception of one, were the fault of a tipped ball. As for having a fumble recovered for a touchdown, ask Todd Boeckman how that one feels (see: OSU v. OU). Those kinds of things do happen, especially given the rain and slippery conditions. The Zips moved the ball down the field with relative ease, especially in the first half, but unfortunately once they got near the red zone the receivers couldn't get a handle on the ball. Sometimes that's just the way the ball bounces. The problem is not Chris Jacquemain, nor is it the Zips offense. Honestly, I think Chris has been doing a great job this year. I'm actually very optimistic about this offense, those guys can REALLY play, and mark my words they will make quite a few teams pay this year. Your beef is with the defense and the fact is, this defense is really banged up. They're thin if not non-existent on the D-line and a good part of the secondary seems totally out of place. There seems to be no true leadership on the defensive side of the ball. We had leaders with Mackey and Corner in previous years, those guys knew how to take charge. IMO somebody on that side of the ball needs to step up and put the game on his shoulders. I'm sure I could write another page about the play of the defense but I'm not going to. I'm going to trust the coaching staff on that one, they know what they're doing, whether you'd like to believe that one or not. My only other gripe would be RACER'S inability to understand that after the period of each sentence comes two spaces and a capital letter in the first word of each sentence. Seriously man, not to sound like jerk, but I can't take a person's writing seriously if they don't take it seriously as well.... In the words of the immortal Brad Hamilton: "Learn it, know it, live it."
