skip-zip Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Ok. About the "attendance" predictions. There might be as many as 10 to 12 thousand fewer people than the number of tickets that they will say that they "sold". We know that. Should we give two numbers? Maybe I'll take a stab at doing multiple numbers."Announced" Attendance: 23,000Actual Attendance - Start of Game: 14,000Actual Attendance - 4th Quarter (if Akron is winning): 9,000Actual Attendance - 4th Quarter (if Akron is losing by more than a TD): 3,000 Game Prediction:Please, please, please show me that our defensive effort at Heinz Field last year was no fluke. If so, we can win another low scoring game, even with little offense.Akron - 17Pitt - 14 Quote

UAZipster0305 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 21-17 ZipsOur defense holds Pitt on the final drive of the game when they have to rely on the arm of their QB to go for the win. Quote
zippy5 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Being a fan of both teams, I thought it was awesome when they scheduled a home and home. But in reality it sucks. Gonna say 27-20 Pitt. I just think Ollison/James and Boyd are going to be too much to completely shut down, and our offense isn't quite there yet. Quote

Captain Kangaroo Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Coaching my little basketball and baseball kids for years, I always learned so much from that first game of the season. 1000X more than I learned in the few weeks of practice before the season began.I think Bowden learned a lot from the Oklahoma game. He learned that we can move the ball on the ground. I think having "reasonable" success in the running game last week will give him some confidence to not abandon the run (see 2014) as the season progresses.Chapman's feet are now wet. Not from pee, either. Oklahoma is a tough opening assignment. Hopefully the competitor inside him comes out and against Pitt he shows some of the impact ability the staff and fans are expecting. Can Pohl throw a decent pass that's not a sideline fly pattern? Can the WR's run a successful route that's not a sideline fly pattern?I love our defense. If you put our D in Oklahoma State uniforms last week, people would have believed it was Ok State. Pound for pound, we matched up against an upper-tier P5 offense like we are an upper-tier P5 defense. Our D will dominate Pitt.Bowden knows he has to win this game. There is no better chance to beat an ACC team than right now...they're minus their All-ACC running back, they are in our back yard, we beat them last year, the crowd will be big, it's a night game...this, will be Bowden's real break out game.Akron 41Pitt 13 Quote
Dr Z Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Akron 41 Pitt 13Man's prediction!....boy's prediction. If our offense is involved in three quarters of those predicted points, ZN may crash. Quote

skip-zip Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 If we score 41 points against Pitt, the ACC will consider dropping them from the conference.I'll be overjoyed with half that many, and I think it might still be enough to win. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 If we score 41 points against Pitt, the ACC will consider dropping them from the conference.Then I'd think a 1-AA program putting up 37 points against Pitt should have been cause to "Scarborough" their entire program? But here they are... Quote
ZachTheZip Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Our defense matches up great with their offensive strengths. No "air raid" this time.A lot of YSU's points came from big plays. A focus on the running game makes it less likely for Akron to get those types of plays unless we have a Dri Archer type player somewhere on the roster that can pop out of the backfield before the defense sees him. Using the run to set up the pass only works if you can actually pass the ball. Have the receivers improved? I didn't see anything to give me that impression.If the offense can put together some decent drives to keep the D fresh, and we get a few big plays or turnovers, we will win. Quote
K92 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 Hey everyone, the U has issued a Stadium Advisory for Saturday. Just thought you would all want to know. Quote
skip-zip Posted September 10, 2015 Report Posted September 10, 2015 LOL....Keener, I saw that also. But, I don't understand what it is, other than a game announcement. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Posted September 11, 2015 It's always fun to calculate the score prediction of the betting public. With an over/under of 50 and us now being 12 point underdogs, they think it will bePitt 31 Zips 19.http://espn.go.com/college-football/lines Quote
