Feels more like an EMU loss than an Akron win🤷‍♂️

Akron overcame (self-inflicted) adversity to get the win.  Even if it feels more like an EMU loss. Can it propel them to more?  Bowl game technically still alive...

Emu moved the ball at will and would have scored w/o the fumble. No fumble on that last drive and Akron loses again

Or not 

 

We blew an 18 pt lead that was only possible thanks to a very poor kick catch interference call on EMU. Otherwise, EMU likely recovers the fumble and we don't have the possession that leads to a score. EMU missed 2(?) FGs to boot. JoeMo gets very little credit for this, but a win is a win.

Zips beat a 5-2 team.  They get some breaks. and you find multiple reasons to complain.  Same old tune.

Because the 5-2 team lost that game more than we won it. I simply witnessed the same issues we've seen all season occur yet again today - lack of discipline, blowing leads, muffed punts, chunk plays on defense, etc. - and for the first time the opponent didn't take full advantage of it which led to a Zips win. 

 

I'm happy we won, but the W doesn't excuse the negatives that continue to plague this program under JoeMo. This win doesn't give me confidence we've turned the corner as a program. 

 

Edit: Here, I'll appease y'all and say something positive. We got the run game going today. As Pat Shurmur would say, "Progress."

again, 2 minutes after the win you begin running down the coach, etc.  Why don't you give it a rest for a few hours.  Such a buzz kill.

Thank God for the W but did they have to torture us until the last second?? 

Usually we’re tortured until the last second, and lose. 
 

It would be great if this was the start of the “win by a little” segment, and the “lose by a little” is over.
