Gets a couple more carries he gets 100. It all depends if the Zips are behind double digits or single digits. Zips barely ran the ball in the second half against Wisconsin. I'm just staying, it's not as unbelievable as you're making it out to be Keener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if he can bust out 100 against top-tier teams, that'll be good for us against MAC teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that impress you? i care more about what he does against MAC teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K92 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I don't think he'll get 100 and I hope he gets 0 because we have 0 chance of winning that game. Sit him on the bench and let someone else get hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sit him on the bench and let someone else get hurt. My opinion - He didn't stick around for a 6th year of eligibility to sit out the Penn State game. He returned to play football. As a P5 recruit, the nationally televised Penn State game is where he'd like to strut his stuff. The Zips OL is pretty good. I think he can do some damage against Penn State. And that would be a big help to Woody and the air attack. An argument could also be made to sit him against AK PB. Why play in a meaningless blowout? So if he skipped both, he's down to 10 games left in his career. Is the kid here to play football, or make weight lifting videos? Smoke 'em if you got 'em. At least for the 1st half of each game, and then make a decision to sit him based upon the scoreboard. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom-and-gloom doom-and-gloom doom-and-gloom. Like seriously guys get a clue, all I was doing was calling a shot. I mean good god, go get something better to do. You're telling me you wouldn't be at least a little hopeful/interested to see what he can do againtst MAC teams busting out 100 yards on a big-ten team? GET REAL.

This has always been my opinion, no matter what valuable player we're talking about. When you are an AKRON, you have to give everything you've got in those games, like a Penn State game. They are program changers. For those who were also in Ann Arbor in 2013, you know what I mean. What if we had been sitting starters that day? We wouldn't have been sitting on the 2 yard line with a chance to win the game with a few seconds left. And that Win would have meant more than any in our history. I agree. If you want to sit him, sit him when we don't need him during the UAPB game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not even worried about the penn state game. It has zero to do with how our season will turn out. No need to get all emotional. We haven't even played a snap yet.

Looking at how Michigan's season turned out in the end? Yes. But at that time, they were carrying a Preseason #17 and had just moved to #11 after upsetting #12 ND the week before. However, since you point out that Penn State would be a bigger prize than Michigan, then for me that would be even MORE of a reason to play to WIN.

You left out a couple things. Can we jam some Nickelback, eat stale graham crackers and stream a replay of Akron losing to Buffalo on the big screen?
