Game #5: Toledo

[lance99]

 

"Akron Vs. Toledo=Black Friday Week Fun!'"

 

Not this year.

 

Toledo has already did their MAC Screw Up already and I do not know what will happen.

 

Will Toledo Phone it in, or will they come to play

 

Will Akron Defense do just enough to keep the Offence around?

 

Will there be a offence explosion?

Finley had mid 50% completion rate.  If you give him the drops, his numbers would look much better, but "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride".  That int can't happen again!  People aren't giving the Dukes much credit, but they are scholarship players. We man handled them.  Give the guys some credit.  The Rockets are struggling, but I'm guessing that we will be +15 or so.  If we can limit the explosive plays on D and create some on O, we will play the Rockets even up.  Our D has a real good taste in their mouth.  They will limit the Rockets.  The O needs to step it up in the passing game complimenting our run game.  This is the week we start to put it together.

 

Zips 27 / Rockets 20

I wish the Zips could start out a season 2-2 and fans describe us as struggling. 

 

Toledo plays extremely well at home.  They blew out Morgan State and handled a good WKU program. 

 

They have a relatively close loss at Kentucky and a one point loss on the road at Western, who always plays well at home. 

 

Take the Rockets giving the points. If you don't have much to do Saturday, go to the game if you are close enough. Toledo is a great setting for a college football game. It's going to be 80 degrees there on Saturday. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I can't believe I am saying this, but I am actually taking the Zips and the 21 1/2.  I don't think they can beat them straight up but I don't think they get beat by 22 either.  I expect some changes on the defensive line.  They have to get pressure on the qb.

 

I am so impressed with Coop and Malcom.  They have really been a bright spot to the defense.

 

Coop is ranked 52 out of 786 by PFF and 

Malcom is ranked 20 out of 834 by PFF

 

Those are incredible.....

Toledo, 2-2, are struggling and....Zips are getting 21.5 points?

With Toledo coming off a loss and Akron beating them last year, I think there is little chance Toledo comes into this game sleeping. Whether or not Toledo wins by 20+ I'm uncertain, but I have little faith of the Zips pulling off an upset.
