Dr Z Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Game time temp 15, with a wind chill of 0.I would put AJ on the field to call the game. Where's the beef? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 The oddsmakers seem to be waiting for a status on Frohnapfel, as many haven't established a line yet. One might have it as a pick 'em? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'm in Chicago on business. If the weather they are having here is going to be in Akron tomorrow, do yourself a favor and stay home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I have to assume Whipple's kid is expected to be the UMass starting QB, because the Zips are 7 point favorites.This makes me wonder. In the history of college football, how many teams have been favored for the 5th game in a row after losing four straight games? This is truly a strange set of circumstances.

zippy5 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 That's how bad our schedule has been. And unfortunately we've been even worse. Frustrating knowing the opportunity was out there for 8 or 9 wins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 What personnel package will the Zips run the majority of the time? My prediction is based on the answer. Sixteen degrees at kickoff with 15 mph winds.Again I say, make AJ stand down on the field to call plays so he gets a feel for the conditions. This ain't Alabama.

GP1 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 I saw Duke do some real creative things last weekend against a talented defensive line. Using either one or two backs, they used a TE in the slot next to either tackle to run power plays or pull the TE to block on counters. Dukes coach is very creative and ran a large variety of plays one can run at a school that takes brains to attend. Turnovers killed them.

johnnyzip84 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Reading this story, I have no idea how UA can be a 7 point (and rising) favorite. Even if Frohnapfel doesn't play, UM has a couple of quality backs with an offensive line that is improving. Woodley, in particular, was a highly recruited Floridian (maybe the cold is our great hope). Couple that with the body language of the defense over the last few games and I don't feel very confidant.I'm going to do something that I rarely do: predict a Zip defeat. If the Zips win, I'll be more than happy to eat crow. I'm just sick of having the Zips lose AND being wrong Minutemen 27Zips 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LZIp Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Plays like that Ritossa drop have really hurt the season. Pohl could have played better, but those drops are way too common and costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 AJ makes a call a few of us have been begging for. Fake to Cody, and it results in a touchdown....well it should have been one, except TE tries to catch the ball with his chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
