Week #6 - BGSU Falcons @ Akron Zips - 3:30 pm Kick-off

[Blue & Gold]

And BG gets the ball to start the 2nd half 

[1981 grad]

And we give up a touchdown right before the half.  We have this down to a science.  A 3 and out by the offense where the receiver and QB are on a different page and then a poor punt and then a touchdown before the half.  The offense managed 3 points this half.  We are pathetic!!!!!!!

[akzipper]

This will go from a 10-7 lead to a blowout.

[Spin]

The good news is it’s half over.

[Blue & Gold]

& this guy's (obviously) a HUUUUGE Zips fan

This.

The only points generated by our offense was a ~47-yard field goal

How many years are left on JoMo’s contract? Is it guaranteed?

[zzx]

I wonder if BG would have taken a knee with one time out left like Akron did

Three years after this one, and generally they are.

BG is a serious program that tries to win games.  So the answers probably differ.

 

But that's a spot in the game where a lot of teams kneel when their offense is playing like trash (again).

No, but they wouldn’t have to worry about turning it over and going down by even more.

On the bright side, this is the best kicking game we have had in years.  We downed a punt at the 3 and our field goal kicker has been great.

This didn’t age well….

[Blue & Gold]

That's how we needed to start the half! Now let's go O

Another missed tackle.

24 made zero effort to actually make a tackle, pathetic effort

The Zips have no business winning this game. But two missed holding calls in the endzone on consecutive plays is inexcusable.

Just missed another one. Terrible game for Lewis.  That is at least his 4th miss.

This Akron defense is some kind of bad.

 

Luckily, Akron's offense is also bad.

We had BG at 2nd and 25 and we let them get a first down.

Seriously? The offense is horrible! BG scored 27 vs Penn State and 20 vs Texas A&M and you think the D is the problem??

If BG got a point for every Akron missed tackle they'd also have another 20-27 of those.  So yeah...the D is definitely a problem.

 

That the offense is putrid doesn't make the defense passable.

Nice play (where’s the flags?)

[zipsrule]

Keep getting the ball to Norton.
