KG14 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 22 hours ago, Ham said: KG14, thanks for visiting. We aren't all grumpy old men! This contest should tell us much about both our teams. Let's wish for no injuries for both of our teams. Thanks man. Agreed on both points. A quick breakdown of our team: - We have 2 QB transfers, Dormady from Tennessee and he just got hurt. Moore is from Memphis and he is a dual threat guy. Haven't seen much of him but he is better than anything we had last year, we assume. - Ward is our RB, he got injured too. However, we are deep at that position. - WR is a young group but we have a transfer fro, VaTech, Pimpleton, who is a stud. Poljan was our QB last year and is now our best TE. - OL was trash last year, improved this year. - DL is solid. - LB is very young, but decent. - Very strong at S, but weak at CB. I think many CMU fans are expecting a win because last year we kept it very close and our offense was inept. However, I don't follow Akron to know what the turnover was like from 2018 to 2019. We lost 2 CB's to the NFL. Should be a tight game. I do think we will win, but it really depends on how Moore performs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UA1987 Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 interesting tidbit - CMU's HC McElwain was the QB coach at the Oakland Raiders when Charlie Frye was there I believe. Now Charlie is the CMU OC. By the way. McElwain's coaching resume is pretty impressive, except for crazy stuff at Florida (including bogus online photos). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Z Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 " ... They’re a pretty aggressive defense. When they’re bring pressure, they’re coming. They’re timing up blitzes. Their linebackers are hitting it on the run, so we have to do a good job of being ready for some of the pressures they’re going to bring.” I watched part of a practice this summer where Kato was using a deceptive snap count to counter the above. Maybe we'll see that play out today. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyZip Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Whew. This is bad. I want to give the staff the benefit of the doubt, but being uncompetitive against Central is unacceptable. Central should be, by far, the worst team in the MAC this year. Oh, and EMU went into Champaign and hung 34 on Illinois, with a walk-off FG win. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Adams Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Unfortunately, I am now convinced this will be no more than a 1 or 2 win season for the ZIPS. If You can't show any better than the worst team int he MAC, U are not going to win any games except by good fortune. EMU beat Illinois. Think that tells the tale of how bad this program is at this point. I am out until a win! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoyalZIP Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Culture is improving, non football things are improving, but the football is still bad. Kato isn’t the answer IMO. The whole O line is done after this year IMO. And the defense needs a year or two to get to the average level. My hopes are still high but damn!!! Trust the process & go Zips!!

ZippyforPresident Posted September 14, 2019 Report Share Posted September 14, 2019 Well, we've eclipsed 100 yards rushing as a team... and it only took three games. SMH. At least Frye called a nice game for Central. It's good to see Akron football alumni having success in the coaching ranks at the FBS level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
