LoyalZIP Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Kickoff is at NOON on Saturday, November 14. Zips open as 7 point favorites. Never forget: 1 Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted November 9, 2015 Report Posted November 9, 2015 Can the Zips offense figure out how to score 17+ points? If so, we will win. Quote
ZippyRulz Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 Never forget: It would be nice to have a fullback that could do that regularly. Quote
zipsoutsider Posted November 10, 2015 Report Posted November 10, 2015 It would be nice to have a fullback that could do that regularly.That would probably be the injured Newman Williams. 1 Quote
Dr Z Posted November 11, 2015 Report Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) ESPN3 will televise the game online with Jeff McCarragher (play-by-play) and Jeff Baldinger (analyst) calling the action. Edited November 11, 2015 by Dr Z Quote
ZachTheZip Posted November 12, 2015 Report Posted November 12, 2015 I'll say the Zips win 20-7. Quote

Dr Z Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 Zips need defense to continue strong play against RedHawks with bowl bid still the prize. by GT of the ABJ Quote

I think it is pretty fair coming from an outside observer. Edited November 13, 2015 by Zipgrad01 Quote

I think it is pretty fair coming from an outside observer.While I don't consider us a top team in the MAC, we sure aren't a "cellar dweller." I also do not think our program is heading in a different direction than Miami's. He insinuated theirs was improving and ours was getting worse. Quote

LZIp Posted November 13, 2015 Report Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) We haven't finished in the top half of our own division in a decade. That is the definition of a cellar dweller.I dont care about the past decade. We are competing for bowl eligibility and will most likely finish .500 at worst. we finished dead center of the division last year(and had an away win over a P5 bowl team) and will finish, at worst, in the same position again. That isnt the definition of a cellar dweller. Edited November 13, 2015 by LZip Quote

That isnt the definition of a cellar dweller.We were in the same position for the last 2 years and choked. Until we actually win the next few games we are what our past says we are and that is a bottom dweller. 1 Quote

akronzips71 Posted November 14, 2015 Report Posted November 14, 2015 Our defense is ranked 27th in the nation?We should be a whole lot better than this record.But it probably means there will be a few Zips in the NFL next year. Quote

Our OOC schedule was loaded with pretty run heavy teams. Makes it all the better, IMO. Quote
Balsy Posted November 14, 2015 Report Posted November 14, 2015 Let's get some positive talk going for #ZipsGameDay. #GoZips, #BeatMiami Quote
LoyalZIP Posted November 14, 2015 Author Report Posted November 14, 2015 Gameday post from Hustle Belt A win over Miami would put the Zips at five wins, which was the total for both 2013 and 2014. It would also give the Zips a 4-2 road record--their best since joining Division 1A.wow 1 Quote
Dr Z Posted November 14, 2015 Report Posted November 14, 2015 EA of the PD - Akron Looking to Reach .500Saturday's matchup will be a look at two young quarterbacks in Akron sophomore Tommy Woodson and Miami true freshman Billy Bahl. Both QBs became starters during the season and are coming off victories, as Akron defeated UMass last week and Miami took down Eastern Michigan.Both are also best described as being on the hefty side of the ledger. The 6-4, 248-pound Bahl has passed for 1,050 yards, 5 TD and 11 interceptions this season. However, the last three weeks he has passed for 543 yards, 3 TD and 1 INT. Quote
