Akron Zips vs Buffalo Bulls Prediction Thread

[Dr Z]

What will the score be?

Zips 21Bulls 14Since neither one of us can kick a freaking field goaledit* Also since we don't have TOM#5 (turnover machine) running around getting sacked throwing picks and fumbling all over the place, I just think we have a much better chance. (Get well Matt)

I'd love to be Sweet Polyanna Purebread Sunshine, but I have to call them as I see them. I can't see the Zips getting it done in Buffalo with a freshman QB starting (much as I like him). Bulls 21 Zips 14 since agreed, neither of us is likely to make a field goal.

Zips 28Buffalo 17Nicely throws 3 TDs and we have a pick 6.

I'd love to be Sweet Polyanna Purebread Sunshine, but Bulls 21-14

I'd love to be Hong Kong Phooey! The Zips played last week like the mild mannered janitor, this week they are “number one super guy” Zips 17-14

The Zips will win this game 23-13.It's go time! I don't give a F about injuries, coaching, schemes, or any of that crap. This game in on the individual players to go out and kick @$$. I know some of them read this. I'm putting it on them to spread this attitude to the entire team, or at least their unit.

I picked the Zips, but the weather really concerns me. Even without Starks, U@B looks to have a better running game.If it rains/snows/sleets during the game: Bulls 27 Zips 19If it is cool but relatively dry, I think the Zips pull off the upset: Zips 31, Bulls 27

[Zipmeister]

I believe the Zips will win by somewhere between 13 and 15 points, exclusive.

Zips 34Buffalo 16All points scored off special teams turnovers.Teams combine to set an NCAA record of 13 missed field goals in a single game.

I'm going to have to change it up. I voted a Bulls win but the more I think about this one I conclude that the Zips D will play gangbusters, and with Nicely at the helm this offense will finally start to produce. Zippers: 21Buffs: 7Can the Zips win, Nicely progress, the D dominate and we STILL fire JD at the end of the year? Is that too much to ask for?STZ

Crazy times for Zips fans. I think we all want to win right now, no doubt, but do we have to hit bottom to get to the top? I just finished my overnight bag for Canada tomorrow. Good night Canada.

That really is the question, isn't it? As incredibly bad as this year has been, I get the feeling that things could be far worse which is kind of frightening.You know what? Now that I think about it, I don't think that hitting "rock bottom" would help at all. In fact it would be terrible. The pieces are in place to improve greatly, what good would it be to scramble them up further? The farther down we go, the harder it is to climb out.

The defense has been playing well, we need the special teams to show up and make some big plays. Hopefully the coaching staff has picked one kicker and he makes a difference, please punt the ball. The weather might be a factor, I think that Harris will go with high percentage throws for Nicely and keep it simple. We need a RB that can break one, Tuzze has been great between the tackles but I think we need to stretch the field. Zips pull out a close one 28 to 24.Go Zips!!

[72 Roo]

The team with the best preparation, coaching and fundamentals wins. Buffalo 21, Zips 14.

[ZachTheZip]

About the running game, Tuzze is great between the tackles and maybe Shane is showing the other RBs his film and saying "this is what a hole looks like at this level, so that's where you are going to run" instead of having all the other backs try to run to the sideline and turn the corner.

Just to be fair...We can't kick field goals *or* extrapoints... UB 26 (two missed expts), Akron 21...--Bull Run 25 Questions Akron: http://bull-run.blogspot.com/2009/10/25-questions-akron.htmlBull Run Blog Exchange (Rasor on the Zips): http://bull-run.blogspot.com/2009/10/blog-...or-on-zips.html
