At the post game press conference, and during the taping of Zips Weekly, Joe will again state "we have to find a way to get the ball to Lingard and Anderson more". Since Joe's wife is the only person who can tell him what to do I am convinced she hasn't approved more rushes for these two. I hope she gives the OK soon. 2 Quote

Lol. So, naturally, come the start of the 2nd half the other team said they wanted to receive. (Or something like that.) Quote

LoyalZIP Posted October 7, 2023 Report Posted October 7, 2023 I feel ashamed for not being all that excited about today. We get 5-6 home games a year to enjoy and the first two have just been so ugly that I find myself dreading the thought of watching more football there. How nice! There’s an old saying that if you have two QBs, you don’t have one. I worry about that at the prospect of doing dual QB. I’m hoping Coach could come up with something to get this offense back to life. Getting playmakers the ball, getting chunks of yards. NIU has a stellar defense. In 2015, we saw our 3rd string QB come off the bench in week 3 and wind up leading us to a 7-3 record as a starter. Then in 2021 our third stringer came off the bench at BG and led us to a blowout victory. Maybe the same thing happens today, who knows. Go Zips! 1 Quote
Blue & Gold Posted October 7, 2023 Author Report Posted October 7, 2023 This is about how I'm feeling right now. With our stout D I may go 13-10. Anyway, sadly, I'm expecting another kinda boring, kinda painful to watch near miss. 😕 Hope I'm wrong on all 3 counts! Quote
LoyalZIP Posted October 7, 2023 Report Posted October 7, 2023 It feels like college football in Akron today! Busy lots already. Nice football weather. Would love to see a W on the board today, more than usual! 5 Quote
CincyZip86 Posted October 7, 2023 Report Posted October 7, 2023 Trivia question: Last year, we beat NIU and scored 44 points.. starting QB had 312 yards, averaged nearly 10 ypc and 3 passing TD’s.. Who played QB? *Oh wait.. the kid JoMo’s gonna put at backup.. makes sense? Quote

We have some good ones! Use them! Quote
MangoZip Posted October 7, 2023 Report Posted October 7, 2023 Heard that Tahj is starting at qb today, anyone else hear that? Quote

Blue & Gold Posted October 7, 2023 Author Report Posted October 7, 2023 That was a good call - nice easy throw. & Tahj put it on the money & looked smooth. Quote
