100% agree.  They're trying to make this game seem important, and are adding to the broadcast.

It is important to a lot of people. 

[exit322]

Other than the one 80-yard play, Akron has thoroughly dominated this game through a quarter.

 

Just can't give up any more of those 80-yard plays.

[AkronAlumnus]

Norton is so good

[zipsrule]

TOUCHDOWN ZIPS!

[exit322]

I know it's Kent, but this is the offense we thought we were getting with Moorhead.

Interested to see where he's playing next year. If there were ever a time to create a NIL, this off-season would be it to keep Norton.

Nationally, no one cares. These commentators may make this game vaguely interesting to a barstool bum looking for a game to watch though.

[UAZipster0305]

Our lack of pressure on the QB is allowing these deep open routes and accurate passes.

This is a really entertaining game so far. 

[zipsrule]

We are rushing at will.

Wasn't aware that we had rushing plays in the playbook. Nice game so far for Kellom.

[MangoZip]

Simmons 7 yd per carry, Kellom 10 yds per carry - don’t stop!

[MDZip]

Kent has 13 yds on 13 carries. Even for them that should be easy math. 

[UAZipster0305]

Great turn around catch by Norton, and Finley looks sharp. Lots of good catches by our WR's in general. Maybe this is the game we look back on and say it is when everything gelled for our offense? Let's hope so.

[UAZipster0305]

KS37 looks to be a really good kicker. Wish we had him or someone like him a few years ago against Indiana...it's amazing what that game could have meant for us, especially considering where IU is as a program right now.

That was last year. Scary to think about.

"Kent Read, Kent Write" in our student section getting some exposure and the announcers enjoying it on the broadcast...I love it!

[zipsrule]

Simmons!

So how is this game magically on CBS SN? I thought all the weekday games were supposed to be ESPN+ ...

[zipsrule]

Good half.

CBSSN got a contract with the MAC this year for one of the Tuesday games each November week.

[exit322]

That was a heck of a drive to end the half, no time outs, in the shadow of your own goalposts, no time outs, under two minutes, and the Zips got points.  Massive.

Why does it have to be our game

The commentators and quality of the broadcast are actually much better than those on ESPN. As a viewer, I am thrilled, but this likely comes at the expense of CBSSN not generally having the subscribers/viewership as ESPN.

[zippy5]

CBSSN usually does a nice job with MAC games. They don't have the quality of the talent ESPN has, but I think they do their homework a little better and bring some more knowledge
