TXZipFan Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I heard from a buddy of mine that Akron has picked up a transfer from the University of Miami (Hurricanes, not the team down south), he didn't know his first name, but he knew he was from PA and his last name is Johnson. Well I did a little research and this might just have some validity to it. Andrew Johnson from North Hills, PA who is a running back for the Hurricanes has been rumored to be transferring, but I was unable to connect him to Akron in any of the articles. This could be the biggest pick-up in Zips football history if it's true... if you don't believe me see for yourselfCheck it outGood Lord I hope this is TRUE... and not just a rumor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZipAnalyst Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 If this is true let's hope that this guy can do a respectable job blocking when he is kept in the backfield to block for the "qb" when a pass play is called.On at least two occasions at Toledo Dennis Kennedy blew the block to protect Getsy. I am not a big Getsy fan but I will stick up for him when he gets pathetic support like that Kennedy demonstrated.Kennedy's poor blocking technique might be a reason we see Walker more than one might think given the "star" billing attributed to Kennedy. I say "might" because I have not focused on Walker and it could be that he is not any better than Kennedy at blocking. I do understand that blocking is not the primary skill asked of a running back. But it is a skill that quality backs possess.Watching the Toledo game was very painful because is showed many instances of a football team that does not appear to be well coached in fundamental techniques.

KentZip Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 This guy is listed as a 25 year old Junior who has a little over 100 yards in his entire collegiate career. I'm guessing he has used up his red shirt year so what would we be getting - a transfer with one year left as a 27 year old senior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
