Line is down to -5 from -6.5. Hmmmm….

I would think this is a result of NIU player availability. I have trouble seeing us going to 3rd stringer instead of a 2nd stringer increases our odds, on its face at least. Obvious to us that Bullock should have a higher ceiling than Undercuffler, but he has a whopping 5 collegiate pass attempts.

NIU’s offense has been as disastrous as Akron’s. Lombardi got benched against Tulsa then looked like Tom Brady against Toledo. As with every Akron game, I expect it to end in a close loss, but if Rocky is on, it will not be close.

That's a pretty big swing, especially for an underdog like Akron. Points to a key position, like QB. Bullock time...?

DId they include a Zips blocked field goal to end the game in their prediction?

No, my guess is that we will line up for the game winning field goal and somehow the kicker accidentally takes a knee and then we lose in OT

Or, @Hilltopper sneaks his trumpet into the stadium and, just as Wiley begins his forward motion, hits a triple high C that causes the kick to careen right, landing in the bell of a band member’s sousaphone. The sousaphone player blasts it out, and it sails towards the goal where it double-doinks between the posts and drops through. Our in-stadium announcer yells “The punt is good!” Unfortunately our holder is called for unsportsmanlike conduct and the kick is nullified. A lightning strike in the distance causes a game cancellation and the Zips lose. 
 

Only in Akron…

Still less shocking than kicking off x 2 vs. Gardner-Webb 🤣

No.  Flea flicker that gets us to 10.  But we rush up and spike the ball which causes a penalty because the clock stops on 1st down. So it’s an illegal procedure call. Moves us back to the 20 yd line and we miss a FG as time expires.
