Very true.

 

Also don't really blame Finley for sliding short in the first quarter there

Their long snapper for punts also leads the league in snaps.

That's because he probably also plays RB and LB.

Ok so Akron, let's get back up ahead two scores thanks

👍

Would you look at that.

 

Would like the defense to step up a bit more but if the offense keeps scoring TDs on 75% of their drives, I guess it's OK.

 

Moorhead's offense doing its job tonight.

Our biggest weakness on defense is mobile QBs. Gotta find ways to contain that variable 

[AkronAlumnus]

That's a BAD spot!!

[Lee Adams]

Let's curb our enthusiasm. Also watching Miami and OU. That's a nice slugfest. For the Zips 4-4 in the MAC is acceptable. But it's a long way from Detroit.

I didn't think it was that egregious.  At least we got it back

But it IS progress.

How many years? Gotta get there first.

I know.  I'd be willing to stay the course if they get to 6-6

Progress is a funny word. It has to be defined. I could define this season as success if they go 5-7. I could also define it as failure. 

 

I define it as success. It's just not successful enough this far in.

I don't disagree.  Just...since they long since punted on things, may as well take what little progress we can get 

[exit322]

Well this has been fun so far.

[exit322]

Not the best kick there...

[exit322]

Good first half by the Zips.  I think with how the offense has done, I'd have tried to move the ball.  But it's not egregious.

[MDZip]

Gant just went over 100 yards in the first half. He is just over 800 yards for the year. 

[akzipper]

Why not take some shots at the end of the first half? We've been able to move the ball through the air and there was plenty of time.

I do agree.  Alas, 27-10 isn't bad.

[MDZip]

Clever comment on the CBS halftime show. Finley has thrown for two touchdowns and run for one. So one of the commentators said one if by land and two if by air against the Minutemen. Not a perfect comment since the minutemen were on the US side but still not bad. And then just before they went off the air, one of the other commentators said "What does that mean?". I want to know which commentator it was so I know which school to make fun of. 😁

Well at least one of them got it because when they started up talking about the Minutemen coming back, one of the commentators started saying the Zips are coming. The Zips are coming! 😲

[MDZip]

Sigh -  and now the ones on air showed Findlay with the touchdown tire around his neck and called it the turnover tire. If your quarterback is getting the turnover tire, that's probably not good. 🤣

[GP1]

I can't see the game in my hotel, but the people on ESPN said we could be on our way to a bowl. Don't anyone tell them.....
