Didn't he actually come in as a possible CB then move to safety? Think it indicates how thin they think they are at LB Yeah. He's definitely undersized at 5-9, 205. Reggie was a 1st Team All-Ohio D1 pick at LB his senior year, but his size obviously dictated the coaching staff envisioning him as a DB - that and his dad played CB for the Zips & then the Buffalo Bills. He looked pretty good at safety during the Spring Game 2 years ago. You're probably right in that it indicates our lack of depth at the LB position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I most certainly dread the possibility of getting blown out on The Mother Ship. Keep it close & make Kent sweat. I rewatched the OU game and boy does Gibson have A LOT of moxie. I love it, but I don't think he's quite ready to lead us to a victory in this game. Crum may be the best QB in the MAC. Jordyn Riley is going to have to have a whale of a game.

In the past, If the game was at the INFO, I would be unloading the car and getting ready for a day long excursion of tail gating. Now, there would only be a couple of us in Lot 9, but that number would grow in the hour before kickoff. Zips need to put on a good show tonight. Lot 9 was packed for last year's Kent game. I was shocked. We arrived 3 hours before kickoff and there weren't more than a handful of spots remaining. I saw quite a few people there whom I hadn't seen in a while. To me, it showed that Akron area fans will still come out and support the Zips if InfoCision is a party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think part of that may be the fact of how they changed parking lot assignments. When Info opened in 2009, a friend received a lot 9 parking pass while I received a lot 5 pass. We tailgated in lot 9 in many of those games. It may have changed the following year, but those lots were given to the big donors who would show up at game time.

LZIp Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I'm pretty sure we have COVID issues last week on D, Ohio had a COVID breakout immediately after they played us, and I saw a player's parent hint on twitter we should cancel as well when news of their game broke. I don't know the MAC's policy, but wouldn't be surprised if we are missing quite a few again. Probably operating at something like 55 scholarship players available if its a similar injury/COVID situation as last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ham Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 I'm already thinking that the 2020 season will have a big *. We may need to designate conference survivors, and can the post season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riley did have a big game. Big for Kent that is. He was terrible. Gave up big receptions and TD's. His tackling was inferior. He got so scared to get beat deep that he lined up far off the receiver thus giving up automatic first downs. He is an experiment whose time has come to stop. Try someone else and work with him to rebuild his confidence. He is lost at corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Jr. got a real good shot to play in the secondary the last few seasons. That lack keeps showing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
