Previews, Predictions and Game Thread: Game #9 @ Buffalo (1pm Kickoff)

[exit322]

Seems like a weird place to fake a field goal.  Buffalo has this in the bag if they just wait for the Zips to self-destruct.

[exit322]

That's not the first time Finley got a grounding call for being on a different planet than his receiver.

 

And then next play not the first time Finley threw a nice spiral to a wide open safety.

[exit322]

Was the genius expecting Buffalo to just let the clock run on that third and 6 with three time outs?

[exit322]

Defense did its job again, though.  Akron gets the ball back with plenty of time to throw a pick six

[ZippyDoo]

no need, they will just fumble it away and set up the field goal

[Captain Kangaroo]

Our offense couldn’t be more inept if it tried. Holy helll…

Yeah.  But 21 seconds and a time out, could be a touchdown still

[exit322]

And now Buffalo has it at the 2.  Nice.

[ZippyDoo]

and exit wins the prize ...

Each week we are so bad.  All we had to do was hand the ball off and not fumble.  Could not even do that.

[exit322]

Akron's defense can only hold up so long.  And let's see if Akron can add to its 82 yards on offense in the second half (not counting the -23 on the failed punt).

and they did without using their timeout ...  joemo lost confidence in finley those last two possessions. he was doing everything he could to just get in the locker room and it cost them 8 points

[ZippyDoo]

finley sprinted off the field at the end of the half faster than he moved the entire first half

Only took him two years after the rest of us did.  Offensive genius moves slowly, I guess.

[catdaddyp]

There’s no excuse for Buffalo to have gotten the ball back there. Just a complete blunder of events.

Time to play Roggow at QB the rest of the season

It's been time for many weeks.  But apparently Roggow looked at Joe sideways the wrong way once in the spring.

[exit322]

It's amazing that Moorhead has done so poorly recruiting that Ben Finley is incapable of losing this job as the obvious only playable choice.

[1981 grad]

Finley handled the blitz and the receiver made a great play on the ball.  Could the Capt be right and this is the game we finish on the road?

[exit322]

Apparently when they can script a little, the offense is competent.  Can they keep it up now that we have a new ballgame?

That's certainly the hope.

[exit322]

What's frustrating about this is...where is this offense on the regular?

 

But Akron has the lead now

[exit322]

And Kent just beat Bowling Green 24-21.

[exit322]

Akron got a fourth down stop

 

And then gave it right back.

 

And then took it right back.

alright who has faith that the zips are ACTUALLY going to seal the deal in the fourth AND NOT blow it?
