ZachTheZip Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 http://mac-sports.com/custompages/stats/2014FB/confldrs.htmA few things stand out.Akron is 1 of 10 on 4th down conversion attempts.We're the most penalized team in the conference, by far, but opponents get penalized more than usual when they play us. Refs just seem to get whistle-happy when the Zips are on the field. They're not necessarily biased against Akron, as they call more penalties on both teams. This is a trend across all sports, as basketball and soccer fans can attest. It may be one of the reasons we struggle with attendance. Something is fishy here. Does Akron have a reputation in officiating circles that sets them on edge during Zips games, creating a feedback loop?Akron leads the MAC in turnover margin and in sacks, and it's not remotely close. A product of the defense's aggression.Kicking is a conference-wide problem this season. It's perplexing. Quote
