Cykron Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 Some tough games for the MAC on opening weekend. Akron at Penn State, Kent State at Clemson, Buffalo at Minnesota. Good time to make/MAC a statement! And what is up with Ohio State playing Indiana to start the season? Has that ever been considered a marquee game to the TV networks? Quote

OSU - Indiana isn't that appealing of a match-up week 8 when it is overshadowed by a lot of better conference match-ups. It's a watchable game week 1 on a Thursday when there are few to no other good games. Quote
Captain Kangaroo Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 No one here gives a crap about Ohio State's team, attendance, television ratings, ranking, recruiting...whatever. So if everyone would keep their comments and observations related to the Zips it would be greatly appreciated. The Moderators 6 Quote
ZipsVoice Posted June 28, 2017 Report Posted June 28, 2017 Cykron's new here and will probably be gone after the ISU game, so cut him some slack...but I agree about the other stuff.... 1 Quote

Yes, I'm new, but I should know better. I like threads that stay on topic and am known to gripe on our site when people hijack them. No, I probably won't disappear. I have 30 years of Akron connections, including at least one trip there each year. And you guys are coming to Ames the following year and I intend to host a tailgate for you (at least for those who have been nice to me). Lastly, for the record, on topic, I would love to see you beat Penn State! Quote

Dr Z Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 What will coach Amato's plan of attack be? Quote
ZippyRulz Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 IDK but I hope it's not the Matt Johnson plan. Quote

Dr Z Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 2 hours ago, zippy5 said: Whatever Pitt did last year. The Pitt offense ran the ball effectively (340 yds), controlled the clock (36 to 24 minutes), had great red zone success, and made less mistakes. Good offensive plan in any game, right? I don't think the Zips can be as successful on offense as Pitt (400+ & 6 TDs), so I would hope they play better defense. I don't see the Zips winning in a high scoring shootout like that game, but I have been wrong before. The Pitt/Penn game this year is 3:30 before the Zips play Arkansas-Pine Bluff at 6:30 on 9/9, so that could be entertaining tailgate watching. PSU defense will be wore down from chasing around Ball and Company the week before, so Pitt should be able to run the ball again. ? Quote
kreed5120 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Posted July 12, 2017 I'm confident in Amato's ability to come up with a good game plan. I have 0 faith we have the Jack and Joe's to execute it to the level we'd need to. 1 Quote

Throw in the good things I've heard about Jamal Davis and hope that Bell has improved, as he had talent according to his offers.* Throw in another offseason of development for Gilbert as well. So we should definitely be better. 99.5% sure it isn't enough to beat Penn State, but should help enough for the rest of the schedule. *Assuming they are on the team. 1 Quote

I have heard rumor King & Jest had to go Juco & Bell should be available just being disciplined, not sure if accurate i agree our defense should be better this year, not good enough to beat Penn State, & hopefully a healthy Ball & a more balanced offense & IMO more competitive this year Edited July 18, 2017 by 94zipgrad Quote

Would be big losses. Quote

I wish we had better coverage of team, more hype & information could only help in the grand scheme of things i sent DM to moderators because just a rumor, I really don't know & im fairly new to ZN & don't know how much info they have or how close they are they didn't respond so it is just that a rumor, hopefully I am wrong Quote
