Weak taunting penalty...players do that ALL THE TIME.

Not much there.  He got up, walked away, and then danced.  Don't need to flag that.

Feels good man. Go Zips!

[LoyalZIP]

Feels awesome! Cheers, Zips fans! 🍻

Really happy for the players and staff.  Great day to be a Zip.  Average day to be a Flash.  And awful day to be a Buckeye.

This is the 12th scheduled game, but the actual 11th due to the postponement.  I am very surprised that nobody has started the thread.

The line for the game is NIU -10, but as I stated in other posts, I am predicting an Akron victory.

Go Zips!!!

 

 

First post of the thread and I called it correctly.

Go Zips!!!

Very Proud

 I agree re DJ. Needs to clean up the costly turnovers and sacks. The question is, whose going to challenge him? Undercuffler won’t. I feel Wasel doing so as a true freshman isn’t realistic.

 

Undercuffler is the starter now.

 

Who will challenge him?

Kind of unfortunate we have another game next week. This would have been a nice high point to end the season on.

Want to see how he does against Buffalo first, but I’d bet against that. He was okay. Threw an INT and Adams bailed him out of another. Running game rolling and defense playing well against a hapless team were the major contributors in the win IMO.

Suckeyes fans are miserable right now. They all expected a blowout win. Their day is ruined because some school in Columbus they have no connection to just got thumped by a rival they hate more than anything. 

 

Zips fans are celebrating the second win of the season and I couldn't be happier.

Go Zips!! Glad the team showed up and my assumption that the guys were over it all were incorrect. Glad for the win, feels good!

So close to having 5 wins and going head to head Friday for bowl eligibility (does the FCS win count?)

 

I left the radio on WHLO tunes after the game... the playlist is amazing.

Yes, the FCS win would count

We all saw that this team, even sitting at 1 win, was better than anything Arth put on the field.  This win validates that and gives them something to build on.  Plus, Coach Joe gets a full recruiting season this time around so let's go!.

I really want to agree with you, but I need to see a bigger sample size to give him the job and not have a QB competition in the spring and fall.  I do believe that the Zips offense was much more productive the last game and a half when JU was the QB.  The team seems to respond to him very well and the running game improved with him at QB.  I do believe that JU needs more experience against FBS teams to get used to the speed of the game, but he has been improving over the last 6 quarters.  However, Irons has shown to be a much better runner.  I would not use the Buffalo game to make a final decision, but it should be a data point to use going forward.  The bottom line is that the Zips finally beat a FBS team.  This win along with the Suckeyes loss made it a great day!!

Go Zips!!!

@bigjim, I'm now agreeing with you about RB Charles Kellom's potential!  I really like how he looked in his limited carries today.  (I never disagreed with you, I just wasn't sure what to expect by only watching his highlight video. But you called it - he looked good today.)

Very good Zips win!  Now try and find an article on any local paper about the win.  As of 10:30 on Saturday night - nothing or anything on Cants win over Buffalo.  Maybe the writers are all drunk after the Buckeyes loss?

 

The Zips finally got over the hump and reeled in the win after some close losses.

Undercuffler is not the long term answer but he was good enough today. The running game looked good!  Let’s go get Buffalo this Friday!

 

Go Zips!

That school helps pay our bills every 3 to 4 years.
