I predict Bruno gets stolen by Purdue as soon as this season’s over.

Can our defense step up and keep them from scoring.  Would like to see an Akron win despite us shooting ourselves in the foot at least 3 times.  

And they did.  Now Akron needs to get this game at the very least tied.

And then Finley panics when he can step up in the pocket and Akron gives the ball back.

He has played so well tonight and then he just cannot make that big play.  Can our defense hold a 2nd time to give us one more chance?

2 guys covering 3 on that first down. Coaching.

Well, here's the chance.  80 yards from a touchdown, and approximately 77 yards from field goal range.  Here goes nothing.

Shocked UAB didn’t run another screen there.

I'm kinda surprised they didn't just run it.  He had the guy, though.

[exit322]

I'm shocked this drive went off the rails.

[Zippy87]

I will never get those 3.5 hours of my life back. 

[exit322]

So we looking at what, maybe 1-11 this year?  Figure Duquesne is bad enough to squeak by with a 21-14 win?  That good enough for another two year extension for the offensive genius?

 

The defense isn't anything special, but there's guys who could get a few NIL dollars from other teams on there...how many of them watching this nonsense and thinking "ya know, I could save my eligibility if I stop after four games."

Don’t turn it over, actually win the turnover battle, rack up 441 yards of offense, and still find a way to lose. Rough.

Defense pitched a shutout in the second half to boot…

Yeah.  Defense did their jobs.
