Bignow Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 If I hear one word about Akron being smaller than UCF on ESPN3 then we know the game announcers did not even look at the rosters. We match up pretty good and are actually bigger than them on the offensive line. Their receivers are not giants either so that makes me more comfortable with our secondary. I think we may be in this one late and then anything can happen. Could be a screaming win or a difficult heart breaker. Either way, I say this one is closer than most people think and may depend on one of the old cliches: turnovers, special teams, or penalties. Looking forward to a good game tonight. The UCF offense will be top 20 in the nation this year with a veteran Oline, two top notch RBs in (Storm Johnson Univ Miami transfer) who is really fast and his back up Cedric Thompson who is a north-south power runner at 230 lbs. at WR, this is the best quality and depth we have ever had (been watching the team since 1987). We have 5 receivers that can all start at every position including our next Brandon Marshall in Breshad Perriman 6-3 225 lbs(son of NFL great Brett Periman). I am looking forward to seeing how our improved D line matches up against you improved Oline and how our young secondary can handle being targeted. Keep an eye on our KR Speedy Hall, he will be top 10 returner this year. My guess is UCF moves the ball at will but our D will make a few mistakes keeping it within 20 this year. Cheers Quote
AKSportsFan Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Orlando Sentinel Game Preview. For some reason I just have a feeling...its either a fart, false hope, or preferably, Zips pulling out a W tonight! Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 We have 5 receivers that can all start at every position I hope they all start on the offensive line. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 86 degrees at kick-off. Dropping to 81 degrees by 10pm. Beats playing in the heat of the day. I think the cramping will be a minimal factor. Unless Carmelo Betancourt suits up. I'd give him 32 seconds before his first leg-cramp. Quote

Dr Z Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Zips +23.5 right now, 55.5 o/u. I haven't seen a real money line, but it should be somewhere around 10 or 11 to 1. D needs to come up with some big turnovers!!! Quote
LZIp Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Just finished class, skipping tomorrow and starting my weekend early grilling and drinking for the game. Hoping to be celebrating a nice upset tonight. Quote
Balsy Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 I told my students today that if the Zips win, they all get extra credit equal to the amount of points that the Zips win by. So for the sake of my HS students GO ZIPS!! Quote
Balsy Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Terry Bowden interview with Orlando radio station The audio is near the bottom of the page. For all those who said Bowden would instantly depart Akron if he turned the program around; in this interview he almost all but confirms that he wouldn't. He said that Akron is really the last team for the Bowdens and that he would love to coach for another 10-15 years Quote

He said that Akron is really the last team for the Bowdens and that he would love to coach for another 10-15 years I didn't get that impression. I think he's saying he'll coach until he's 70, so if you are in the market to hire a coach in the next couple years, don't worry about his age. He'll be there...wherever "there" might ultimately be...for a decade +. But Bowden departing is a silly conversation to have when he's got an 8.3% winning percentage. We'll save that one for a couple years from now. Quote

Balsy Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 At this point even - go Flashes! OK, sorry, got carried away. Go all MAC teams this weekend. Go Buffalo, Go Ohio, Go BGSU, Go CMU, Go Toledo and Go Can't. Most importantly Go ZIPS!!!! We can use wins in all of these games for this conference! Quote
akzipper Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Well the defense played well for one down. These announcers have focused 99% of their discussion on UCF. Quote
mes102 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 I think he was down you're right...hopefully we can finish this drive!!!!!!! Quote
Spin Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 I want to see a replay of that fumble... Quote
MDZip Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 What did Bowden say about what needed to happen? Don't give up big plays and don't turn the ball over. Two series, one big play given up and almost a turnover. Oy. Pohl has had a nice start. Quote
