Z.I.P. Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 Hope I can break into this sniping battle...Don't look now, but Ohhio and Miami look to be going down in MAC East comp. CMU won @Athens and BeeGee leads the RedHawkskins late 30-29. Those are the two teams of which we must beat at least one to have a serious chance at six wins and a bowl! Quote
Zipgrad01 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) That is about the 5th wide open receiver we have overthrown for 6 Edited October 7, 2017 by Zipgrad01 Quote

The angry whiner earned the second block for me in about 15 years on these boards. Not worth my time. Crazy day in the MAC, though. Even Buffalo had an early 14-3 lead on Western. Quote

RowdyZip Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 And BG holds on Oxford to beat Miami. Add that game to the "winnable" column. Quote

To be somewhat fair, he's their backup and they're also missing their starting RB. Ball State's offense is completely wrecked by injuries. Still, the way our defense was playing I don't know if a healthy Ball State makes it any closer. Quote
K92 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Posted October 7, 2017 Hopefully this is a big confidence builder for the Zips. First time in quite a while that we beat up a bad team. 2 Quote

skip-zip Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 It was quite frustrating to watch our offense fail to extend the lead during the entire middle part of that game. Ball State could have easily gotten back in the game at any time. That goal line stand was HUGE. Other than that, I like what I saw today, but that was admittedly a fairly weak team we were playing. Lets hope this game was at least the "practice" we needed for much tougher games down the road. It's nice to have 3 wins in early October. Quote
Blue & Gold Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 Had a blast today. Been at least a year since I've had that much fun at a Zips game. LOVED the helmets, great weather, nice crowd, fun game where the Zips looked good. Brought some friends to the game today & they all had a good time. I'm going to bed in a very good mood. Go Zips! 1 Quote

I defenitely felt like we were using the game to work on some things and gets reps to back-ups. A few thoughts: 1. Sands is going to be a strong back. Probably the best if the three, he just needs more reps. 2. Our defense has shown improvement. Lako, Reinke, K Brown, Featherstone, and Davis are really stepping up. Dailey, Gilbert, Bell, and Boxen are playing well and offenses seem to avoid them. 3. Ball actually had a very highly rated defensive line. We didn't do a bad job stopping their rush. 4. Why no Nate Stewart or Dre Williams? Coney and Wolf are playing consistently well, Chapman was quiet today. Young and Gladney still have not proven themselves and Smith seems like he is still somewhat of a gamble. 5. The announcers and Bowden both mentioned the wind affecting kicks and the passing game.

NWAkron Posted October 8, 2017 Report Posted October 8, 2017 I think had it been a basketball game we would all be very happy with WMU beating Buffalo 71-68 in overtime. 2 Quote
