LoyalZIP Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 The MAC is still in need of its annual Big 10 win. And, we could do Indiana fans a favor in making Tom Allen's seat even hotter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted in the other thread that crap like this seems to be amplified by the offensive struggles. Maybe I'm so focused on our offense being "cheeks" (shaht aht Pat McAfee Show) I'm missing a penalty issue. I will add one more thing. - Golden not on PR/KR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning only 28 teams have more yards per game given up for penalties than we do. https://www.ncaa.com/stats/football/fbs/current/team/698/p3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that come to mind are the Smigel shoulda-been-game-winner at WMU and apparently Perez’ career long is 42 but I don’t recall when that was. That is it.

MDZip Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 No more huge plays after the defense has put themselves an excellent position to get off the field. You know like no more third and 25s and touchdowns get scored on those plays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoZips86 Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 This game is actually winnable. I thought KY could have been, but even before season started I had this one circled as a possible win. I mean, everything has to go right for Akron, dont get me wrong, and the offense and defense need to step up. Indiana is in the Big 10, but they aren't an Ohio State or Michigan after all. A win this weekend...just imagine how awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted September 20, 2023 Report Share Posted September 20, 2023 I'm feeling pretty discouraged. We don't have a QB & can't drive the football. We & the Browns look to be in identical situations - other than QB play we've got a great team. Unfortunately, QB is the most important single position in all of sports. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think DJ has been disappointing so far this season as well, but Joe seems to be pinning a lot of the offensive limitations on the OL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Games like this should be played at noon so the teams can get in and out quickly, and the fans can go on with their day. If you are going to legally steal from your fans, at least do it in broad daylight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We & the Browns look to be in identical situations - other than QB play we've got a great team. Unfortunately, QB is the most important single position in all of sports. Much like the Browns, the Zips have play-calling issues as well where they're seemingly allergic to the middle of the field. 3 hours ago, LZIp said: I think DJ has been disappointing so far this season as well, but Joe seems to be pinning a lot of the offensive limitations on the OL. I think the OL has the 2nd most room for growth behind the QB, so maybe it's just Joe trying to get some of the negative focus away from the QB position. Play-calling improvements could really help both positions. 3 hours ago, GP1 said: How about some touchdowns? You know, something to cheer for.... I figured it was a pretty simple, implied equation... Attacking the middle of the field + more RB touches = Touchdowns 3 hours ago, GP1 said: I swear, this is fantastic abuse.

The bulk of my day isn't taken up by a potentially ugly & disappointing Akron game, I can sit down after putting my girls to bed and relax with some aggravating Zips football, and if the game gets too bad, I can switch over to Penn State/Iowa & OSUcks/Notre Dame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer it to be at 7:00 AM so that I have the maximum time available to cool down before I go to bed rather than try to sleep after I am p!$$ed after an embarrassing loss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. Sub-par run blocking, too much pass protect penetration, false starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 My prediction for this week: Hoosiers- 24; Zips- 6. We see Undercuffler after DJ goes down with an injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyolcrowe Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 B/R prediction IU 31 UA 17. Frankly 17 points is a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
