Bowden on the MAC and the Zips:

"We have to improve to meet the level of a conference with 7 bowl teams. We have to go through the (word omitted) but everything is there for us to be successful."

Bowden on OC A.J. Milwee:

"I promoted AJ because he is ready. He is young, smart and knows the offense and how to scheme for success."

Bowden on QB Kyle Pohl:

"Kyle has an abundance of talent and an NFL caliber arm. He can throw every pass in our playbook. He continues to grow as a quarterback and as a leader."

Bowden on RB Jawon Chisholm:

"Jawon is a tough, hard-nosed back with good speed and is due for a 1,000-yard season after coming close the last two seasons. He allows us to really spread the field and find holes in the opponent's defense."

Freeman on the secondary:

"We are getting deeper at all four positions. We continue to work on defending as a unit and we are making progress. We need to build on last year and play better as a group for four quarters."

Freeman on Moses McCray:

"He brings depth to the front line that will help us keep opponents from moving the sticks."

Dillard on Year Two of Bowden Ball:

"We felt good last year and you could see the offense progress as the season went on. This year, we are more comfortable and confident, and fans should be ready for some more fireworks."

Dillard on QB Kyle Pohl:

"We are going to take advantage of Kyle's mobility to scramble and run from the pocket. He has a strong arm and is growing into his leadership role."

"How many games would that be coach?"

DETROIT: It’s not an episode of Sesame Street, but the letter “C” is definitely a point of focus for the University of Akron football team.C is for comfort. C is confidence. C is for continuity. They will be the words Zips players will have in mind as they approach the season. “We’re going to be a lot more comfortable, have a lot better chemistry,” senior wide receiver Jerrod Dillard said during the Zips’ stint at MAC Media Day on Tuesday morning at Ford Field. “I just feel like as a team we’re going to take off.” There are palatable reasons for that, Dillard said. Primarily: the coaching staff and their systems have been in place for more than a year.

Now expectations do exist. And it’s more than hope that Zips coach Terry Bowden was pushing last season.......

This isn't exactly from MAC media day, but it's on its heels. Besides, I didn't think it merited a whole new thread.
