Would love to see trick plays like that. No reason to hold anything back at this point. Take some chances and let it all hang out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We weren't won't supposed to win that one either. I have a copy of that game (and the following SportsCenter) on my PC that I pulled off my Dish DVR. I was watching some of it the other day. Never gets old. Not the same team. Not the same coach. '05 was a better squad and NIU was not as good as this TU team. Hope the Zips can pull a rabbit out of the hat but who cares? At least we get to go to Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz 8 to 10 times from all over the place. Make them run with a back and we bend and not break. I hope Kato is ready as I agree with many on this site that he had cobwebs after that takedown last week. He needs to learn how not to take a hit. We can beat Toledo. Target Wolf more and blow up the Rockets. Can't blitz that much against these guys. They will hit big plays. Before U no it U are down by 2 TD's. Akron has to score first but its gonna happen if they get a tight end and RB's involved early. Defense will have to play way over its head to win this one. Nelson will have to be more composed than he was against KSOO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson will have to be more composed than he was against KSOO. Please read up on the Eastern/Toledo game in the link below. Eastern's defense disrupted Toledo by being in their backfield most of the game. I think this is a good contest to pattern a possible Akron defensive game plan. Woodside is very good (reminds me of Charlie Frye) and the only way to hold him back a bit to be all over him most of the game otherwise he'll throw 5 TD's on the Zips like he did against Akron earlier this year. http://www.emueagles.com/news/2017/10/7/football-rockets-outlast-eagles-20-15.aspx?path=football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I'm looking forward to seeing the money line on this game. ---------------------------------- From the press conference posted above, the most interesting question and answer was, how will you split (QB) reps? "I can't tell you that, because you will know the answer to the previous question." The previous question was, will you name a starter at QB for the game? That answer was "I don't think I will, we could play multiple QBs" I would assume Toledo is expecting Kato. Could there be a surprise? ---------------------------------- From @zipsoutsider above post, coach Bowden will be on here, at 11:30 am. Hopefully, you will be able to listen on demand at the same link. ---------------------------------- Love the green screen. ? I would have put him in Detroit traffic, and had him roll the wheel across the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you that they will have more. But, they only averaged somewhere in the 17k to 22k range in "announced" attendance during the season at home, so I wouldn't estimate that their core followers are that much larger than ours. But certainly, 3 hrs. vs. 1 hr. will be a noticeable difference. Edited November 28, 2017 by skip-zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
