The Zips move to 2-1 at home this year. I like it.

3rd home game on October 26th. Can't imagine why no one cares about Akron football

Simmons was a beast today. Hope we keep riding him for the remainder of the season. 
 

Congrats to Tahj as well. He’s had every reason to pout or mope, but he was ready when his number was called today. He was great.

2-3 passing for 36 yards

17 yards rushing 

You call that great?  Wow, the bar is low

Any particular reason you omitted his 2 TD’s? Or was it just an honest oversight?

I'm thrilled with the win.  Others seem to be happiest when the Zips lose.

Could be worse, could be 0-8 in Portage Co.

 

We don't see many W's, especially where the program is right now, let's enjoy them when we can!

What a "buzz kill" - am I right @NWAkron?

Not really but if you think that makes his performance great, by all means include it.  I also left out the 2.8 rushing average.  What was his longest TD run?  
 

call the Heisman committee.

I’ve been as critical of Bullock (as a QB) as anyone here, but we definitely don’t win that game without him. Multiple 1st down conversions and the 2 touchdowns were a difference in the game. He’s given the offense a needed boost in this role.

Pretty obvious to most.

An all-star in his role

Agreed. A similar criticism might be brought up against a kicker who makes four FGs with one being game winner. "He might have kicked four FGs with one being the game winner, but he only played four plays."

 

We now live in an era that obsesses over statistics to the point many people aren't able to actually analyze a game. Heck, baseball analysts now think telling us exit velocity is a meaningful game analysis.

Stop being weird kid is embracing a new role and is actually holding it down in this taysom hill role

My bad, but the Buffalo game this week does conflict. Same thing only different.
