Game 8—Central Michigan Chippewas

[Z.I.P.]

17-0 at the half.  Zero Akron penalties, but two fumbles.  One inside the opponent's ten.  Just doing enough to beat a weak CMU team.  Won't be like this next Thur vs NIU.

Was thinking same thing.  NIU game.  Huge.

Fumbles by true and redshirt freshman. It is part if the reason we still see Van Edwards... time in the weightroom to be strong enough not to get stripped as easily.

The weather is not helping.

KN1 cannot seem to get enough on the ball today. Throws have been consistently behind the receivers.

[NWAkron]

Huge Momentum swing

Offense is losing the game for us.  Mileee sucks.

[Blue & Gold]

Uh, oh.

 

Offense is giving this away. Reghi just said, “Akron, on offense, is incredibly lethargic and just has nothing going on.”

[NWAkron]

Who called that 3rd and 1 play?

[zvillezip]

Offense self destruction

[zipsoutsider]

Unbelievable....you cannot fumble 5x and win.

[RowdyZip]

There is no way this team gets bowl eligible, especially with 11 games.

[NWAkron]

If we lose, that will really hurt Northwestern's RPI.

[NWAkron]

When CMUs field goal hit the upright, it shook the stadium. Then we did the same.

Knight be the bright spot of the day. Best returner since JoJo.

I wonder if Father Nelson is going to take to social media and talk crap to Zips fans.  

[NWAkron]

Bigger question: how is Central losing this?  (At the moment)

[zipsoutsider]

1st unsportsman-like call KN1 did not deserve. Cheap shot to take the shoe. Very poor officiating.

Our offense has looked awful ever since we started MAC play and now we are turning the ball over.  This has been difficult to watch.  If we were playing a good team we would be getting blown out.  Now a bad punt.  I hope we can hang on.  The defense has to hold on.

[Blue & Gold]

CMU’s QB couldn’t throw it in the ocean.

+1. 

 

Larry Williams has to make a move. Insist Bowden make a move at OC. If not, I suppose we’ve gotta clean house (which I don’t really want to do).  This product is not worth spending $$ to watch.

This is a ridiculous comment.
