72 Roo Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Good for him. That's a higher level program than I thought he would reach. That will be a nice place for him to send his final year of eligibility. I wish him well. BTW< i'm looking forward to seeing the LB's we have coming in coupled with our returners and redshirts. I believe in JoeMo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're losing this All-MAC LB. Apparently it's difficult finding a decent barber in BG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, we probably saw the peak of the program under Loeffler. I believe I saw Brooks declared for the draft. Losing Brooks, Anderson, Anders, and Brown from that defense is going to sting.

Maybe. I haven’t been impressed with their recruiting, so I’m doubtful they are replaced with the same caliber players.

kreed5120 Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 I actually didn't think BG was good this year to begin with. They just did enough to capitalize on a very weak MAC this year. Most other years they would have probably been a 4 win team given their level of talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like he’s feeling the pressure. He has a few players in this year’s class that I’d like to have, but overall I believe our staff has a better eye for talent.

They just did enough to capitalize on a very weak MAC this year. Most other years they would have probably been a 4 win team given their level of talent. They weren't. Much like the 2017 Zips, they benefitted from some fluky results. They had a negative point differential in MAC play. They lost a pair of MAC home games by 30+ (Akron had 0 MAC losses of 30+ this year). Their postgame win expectancy vs. Marshall was like 14%. They squeaked by Akron with the help of a pick-six and Bobby Golden's punt return blunder. And if Toledo was simply *bad* at tackling, they would have lost that one too. Good on them like those 2017 Zips for winning the games, but the final results speak for themselves. A losing record, blowout losses, a loss to a 6-6 G5 team in the bowl. For UA, it was 2 butt-kickings by Toledo and Lane Kiffin naming the score in Boca. Scot Loeffler won himself a lame-duck year by reaching 6-6. Now with this mass exodus, it seems the writing is on the wall, barring a miraculous portal recruiting season. I encourage anyone curious on the situation to go read the BG board, Ay-Ziggy-Zoomba. It's nearly consensus that SL needs to go, but at the same time they realize they're stuck with him for '23 at this point. Really a terrible situation all around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are people on this board continually ragging on the MAC? I'm not saying that we should of had a team in the CFP, but in our bowl games against similar conferances, the MAC did pretty good. What conferance has the best W/L bowl record? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MAC had a good season this year. Now they need to combine good football with playing games on days and at times that are attractive to people.

It’s too bad we didn’t play BG later in the season when much of the tackling was cleaned up. I know we still have a few areas to be addressed through recruiting, but I expect next season’s outcome to be different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but I really enjoyed the MAC bowl games. I used to pick bowl games at high percentage rate. Not anymore. The portal (and draft opt outs) has made many P5 teams into either a shell of themselves or different versions of what they were in the regular season.

You're completely disregarding the 4 OOC games that each team played, which the MAC performed extremely poorly. This included multiple losses to FCS schools. The 48 OOC regular season games is a much larger sample size than the 6 bowl games. I'm not ragging on the MAC to just rag on the MAC. I'm doing it because it was objectively a down year for the MAC. Hopefully this years bowl performance is a sign the conference will be improved next year. Edited January 3, 2023 by kreed5120 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but can the Zips tap into some of the 4*/upper 3* guys that these transfers bump down on the totem pole? Much more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
