Game 5 - Miami (OH) at Akron

[Lee Adams]

Line is down to 3.5

It's dropping faster than Enron.

Edit: apparently Miami will still be without standout WR Nick Harwell.

Where did that come from?

[Lee Adams]

getting 3 is still a good bet. My head says Akron by 1, but I'm going with my heart on this one - Zips by 14.

AHHHH they are reelin' 'em in.

[gozips19]

Don't think I've been looking forward to a Zips football game this much since the opener for the new stadium. Cautiously optimistic about tomorrow. Think we pull this one out. What I know is I'll be making awesome rubens.

DOWN TO 2 NOW. Whoda thunkit before the season started?

Where did that come from?

Well its looking that way now

Our defense is an embarrassment. In reality the score would be almost the same had we not even fielded a defense for the first half. We had what, one stop? I don't know how you can even say at 1-4 you can look at this as a positive game.

Down by one score. NOT pushovers. But we need to step it up on defense.

[akzipper]

Is it possible to get some of these dummies from practice?

Maybe use them in the second half instead of using our defense?

You may not agree with me, but if you think our defense is playing well you need to get your head checked. The offense is keeping us in the game, but football is about executing on both sides of the ball. You can't expect us to score on every possession.

I know we just scored anyway, but I have a major gripe right now.

Since when can they review penalties?? And on top of that, assess a penalty after review?? This would be the same thing as, after review, they had called off the touchdown on the Monday might game because of offensive pass interference.

Regardless, did our defense remember that the game started at 2?? They have been downright horrible.

You are NEVER allowed to review or challenge a penalty.

WOW we held Miami to a field goal....time for a parade down exchange street!

[bUAkronG]

1st and goal on the 1 and our defense gets a stop. Time for the offense to put 7 up on the board.

[ZippyRulz]

Dysert over 100 yards rushing..

[akzipper]

If we want any chance to win, we need to come up with a turnover.

[akronzips71]

Anyone know what the over/under was on this game?

And BTW, win or lose today, we are competitive. We were not the last two years.

60. Good thing I took the over.

[lance99]

what a shootout 49-48!!!!!!!!

[akronzips71]

what a shootout 49-48!!!!!!!!

We may be the losingest team on top of the NCAA in stats!

[lance99]

Is there Piss-Poor Flag calling? Even the broadcasters is calling this sad!

[zippy5]

wow wow wow. someone took miami giving some points. sheesh

[UAZipster0305]

These defensive personal foul penalties are ridiculous. Two in a row that never should have been called. Giving Miami an extra 30 yards per drive really hurts.

They said that Akron Police is on the sidelines keeping order. Is that true?

Competitiveness doesn't show up the in the win column. At the end of the day we're looking at a 1-4 football team.

I understand refs aren't going to make every call, but when they start affecting the game I have a problem. We have had 6 personal foul penalties alone to Miami's 3 penalties for 19 yards.
