clarkwgriswold Posted September 19, 2021 Report Posted September 19, 2021 The Zips fresh off of a win against the Bryant Bulldogs head south to play that team in Columbus in the big stadium commonly referred to by an equine term. Another big pay day for the Zips and hopefully a game that will be injury free. Quote
LZIp Posted September 19, 2021 Report Posted September 19, 2021 Take the Buckeyes against whatever the spread is. We aren’t stopping their offense. Let’s maybe drum up a few scoring drives to feel good about ourselves and get out of there injury free. Quote
GP1 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Posted September 19, 2021 They had an entire InfoCision Stadium worth of empty seat Saturday. Might be a good opportunity to get some good tickets at a cheap price on the secondary market. Quote
LoyalZIP Posted September 19, 2021 Report Posted September 19, 2021 I'd be content with 56-10. Sigh. Quote
John Ward Posted September 19, 2021 Report Posted September 19, 2021 My guess is there will be more Zips fans at da shoe than there ever are at Info stadium. Quote

The scalpers are going to have a hay day as folks scramble to get their hands on tickets to watch the Battle of Ohio in person. Zips by 14. Quote

Blue & Gold Posted September 20, 2021 Report Posted September 20, 2021 Has anyone noticed Janirr Wade getting any PT at all? He got quite a bit of PT as a true freshman last season and made an impact on the DL. Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted September 20, 2021 Author Report Posted September 20, 2021 I'm already having nightmares about how the Zips' line will fare in this one. Quote

Or is it confusion like yesterday's Browns game, where "why did Houston decline the penalty to get to 4th and 2 and then punt?" Quote

Blue & Gold Posted September 21, 2021 Report Posted September 21, 2021 Is Norrils banged up, or did he get benched for fumbling on the goal line? Ant Williams is not as thick as I thought he'd be. I was expecting a downhill runner that'd be wearing LB's out come the 4th quarter. On the other hand, he's faster and shiftier than I was expecting. Wasn't he advertised as a 215 lb. RB? He's 195. I may be getting him confused w/ Boateng. I pray Norrils isn't banged up, or we've gone from having an envious stable of RB's (Dollard, Norrils, Ant), to one scholarship RB (Ant). Quote

I rewatched the game and think he might have just been benched. I thought I saw him go into the medical tent after the fumble at the game, though. You are also forgetting Gest. We have not had good luck at the RB position in general at all. Just when you think we have it fixed.... Side topic, but I sure wish we knew what happened to SL McCall. He was reportedly a standout on defense during spring ball. We sure could use him on the DL. 1 Quote

LZip, Im with you on this. Seems like some of the young men that balled out in the spring are none existent now. Does Arth just give up on these guys and try something else every 30 days? Quote
LoyalZIP Posted September 21, 2021 Report Posted September 21, 2021 Irons unsurprisingly named MAC East offensive player of the week. East/West Special Teams POTW were punters from Ohio and Ball State, who were both blown out by G5 nonconference opponents. If that doesn't tell you how bad this league has become, I don't know what will. Also, former Zip punter Jonah Wieland won those honors for the Bobcats. I had no idea he transferred to Ohio, and I have no idea why Ohio needed a punter who averaged 37.7 yards per punt. 1 1 Quote
LZIp Posted September 21, 2021 Report Posted September 21, 2021 I don't miss his 10 yard punts. Slike has done a dang fine job so far. 3 Quote
