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

I think we should just extend Moorhead now so we don't have to worry about it.

i'm gonna go out on a limb and say they hold on to win

[ZippyDoo]

Kent beat bowling green 24-21

[ZippyDoo]

MAC was wide open this year

[roopride]

Nice TD!

[1981 grad]

Run Finley Run.  Watch Finley Run.  Touchdown Finley.  And who made fun of Finley sprinting to the locker room at halftime.  He was just warming up.  With that said, I still think Akron can lose this game but I hope I am wrong.

Buffalo imploding like they're the Zips.  This is a wild change.

[roopride]

Go ZIPS!

[1981 grad]

Zips call a timeout and then run the same running play they have called all game.  Very conservative call.  Would have been nice to get a first down and burn some clock.

24-16, 6:04 left

 

Akron needs this game to end immediately 

 

[1981 grad]

A net 13 yard punt.  Why not go for it or 4th and 4.  If they get the first down they come close to sealing the game.  

[ewbrooman1]

That series was way too conservative. 🤨

[ZippyDoo]

so if the old zips show up now

[ZippyDoo]

they cheated zips on the punt but couldn't challenge it and risk losing the timeout i guess?

[zipsrule]

The D gets a HUGE interception!

[exit322]

What a strange game.  But looks like maybe a decent win for Akron today.  Maybe.

[ZippyDoo]

this is how buffalo got umass last week. zips NEED to get the first

[ZippyDoo]

JoeMo is doing the EXACT same thing that UMASS did i hope it has better results. he has gone conservative at questionable times to me

[exit322]

Defense did their job, offense did just enough, and Akron still alive for a hail mary waiver request for a bowl.

Goodyear touchdown tire

[GoZips88]

WHAT an effort by the D today.

I will go out on the mother of all limbs and predict the Zips go 3-1 to finish the season. 

Great call but you were off on the score.  We won by 8.

[ZippyDoo]

Laventure is the real deal

[ZippyDoo]

spriggs was a monster, simmers was all over the place. they really stepped up to cover for cooper today. 

[Slam_Hilliard22]

This defense was awesome today
