catdaddyp Posted October 18 Report Share Posted October 18 Here are some rankings & stats that don’t show up on the MAC site: Run Blocking (MAC games only): 1 - WMU 2 - NIU 3 - Miami 4 - Ball 5 - CMU 6 - EMU 7 - BG 8 - Ohio 9 - Toledo 10 - Akron 11 - Buffalo 12 - Kent Pass Blocking (MAC games only): 1 - WMU 2 - NIU 3 - Ball 4 - Buffalo 5 - BG 6 - EMU 7 - Akron 8 - Miami 9 - Toledo 10 - CMU 11 - Ohio 12 - Kent Pass + Run Blocking (MAC games only): 1 - WMU 2 - NIU 3 - Ball 4 - Miami 5 - EMU 6 - BG 7 - Toledo 8 - Akron 9 - CMU 10 - Buffalo 11 - Ohio 12 - Kent - Our receivers have dropped 17 balls so far. To put that in perspective, we only dropped 17 all of last year. - Finley is completing 66% of his passes when kept clean compared to 45% under pressure. Adjusted without the drops would take those numbers up to 75% and 59% respectively. - Finley has thrown 4 of his 7 interceptions when “kept clean.” - It may not seem it, but the OL is actually giving Finley similar time as our opponents’ OLs are giving their QBs. - Runs off RT/TE have been our best rushing plays and we are averaging 7.8 yards per carry on it. - Norton has been the best blocking wide out. I think we all know this by now, but if we quit shooting ourselves in the foot, we’ll actually win some games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add that it is uncanny how our defense folds after an offensive blunder. We fumble, the opponent scores a quick TD. Interception…turns into a quick opponent TD. Shanked punt…quick opponent TD. One minute left in the half…plenty of time for an opponent to drive the length of the field and get a TD. Our D is a strength in the flow of a game. But it ain’t been so hot when they’ve been called upon to pick the team up after a mistake or close out a half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t find any kind of stats to reflect this, but our “sudden” defense has been horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MangoZip Posted October 21 Report Share Posted October 21 EMU (5-2) vs Akron (1-6) but EMU only a 3.5 point favorite. I think this may be the week that the Zips put it all together and play a complete game 🤞 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
