Then again, who wants to come to a program with 6 wins since the start of the 2019 season? This is where I'm at, plus a little more. We have Irons, Undercuffler, Bullock, Jennings, and Wasel on the staff. Irons isn't moving the offense. Fine. Undercuffler isn't moving the offense. Fine. Why not run with Bullock/Jennings/Wasel? Joe likes Irons (may be his demise). Fine. How can we make Irons more effective? An offensive genius has to be able to scheme guys open and fit the play calling to his personnel. Irons has a big arm, so why not take a few more deep shots, especially with post patterns? On shorter throws, why not more over the middle throws with shorter quicker crossing routes? Irons can run, but defenses know that. Why not get the RBs going in space outside of the tackles to help open the game up? Do we have speed on this roster? Where is it and why aren't we using it? Can't attract talent now? Fine. But what's going to change if this is what we are getting with the "offensive genius"? This offense is a 100 year old machine that has sat out in the elements and never been maintained. Everything is grinding and difficult to move; nothing is smooth. With the transfer portal opening up college athletics, the talent we have may not even stay. Might as well figure out what we have and try to benefit from it while we have it. If Joe doesn't like certain things as a Head Coach, he needs to find someone to handle those things properly or not be a Head Coach in the first place. This is complete garbage and inexcusable.

That's how you win and compete for league championships. I don't want to be the NC State of the MAC. We can do better than that. If Wake Forest can get top level ACC QBs, Akron can get top level MAC QBs. You are 100% correct. The sad part is even with average MAC QB play we would have made a run at 4-1 with the way the defense is playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be 4-1 and in first place in the division with enough opportunity in front of us to make the day after Thanksgiving game meaningful.

They also need to make his early game touches more productive. When we use our RBs, the production needs to be consistent throughout the game.

They ran a measly 55 plays today. Only 3 teams in all of NCAA FBS football averaged fewer plays per game last year.

You're right they put him to a choice and he chose wrong, the inside guy blocked it with his helmet, the outside guy was close but would not have got there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His play is polarizing but he always gave it his all and made some great plays. Best of luck to him going forward. who do we trot out there there next/rest of the season? Undercuffler might win you a few games but what does that really accomplish? id say go with Bullock most of the rest of the year and then Wasel the last few games assuming we don’t have any postseason hopes. Tough to be a zips fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to be a zips fan. I agree totally. I hated that he was banged up all season after coming off surgery and never looked quite right. I don’t think all the quarterback draws and delayed runs helped either. Add in his lack of getting the ball out quick and his frequently keeping the ball on a RPO regardless of what the defense gave him and it’s no surprise he didn’t make it through the season. He got crushed, rocked and killed every game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyalZIP Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Bullock was in tears on the sideline after the game. Seemed like frustration. Would love to see that passion on the field. He deserves a shot at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what rule that is in the book, but it's inexcusable. Sad to hear about Irons. @LZIp nailed it. Polarizing play but always gave it his all.

MangoZip Posted September 30, 2023 Report Share Posted September 30, 2023 Some random thoughts: - D has played their asses off, props to them - the late hit/personal foul on 3rd and long was a killer, Buffalo went on to score their only TD when they would have had to punt - another killer (among many) was the 3 and out when they got it on the 45. Time to finish at that point. - Lingard needs more touches, he’s a breakaway threat and it will help the passing game - don’t think I’ve ever seen a team so inept on offense in 2nd half. How does this happen?? - where are the tight ends? QB’s best friend on a struggling offense. Seems they aren’t even in the game plan? - 😩😩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
