Game #11 - Can't State

[Slam_Hilliard22]

Joe Moorhead deep into his bag!

 

Tie game!

That targeting call is big because with can pooch it and try to recover on nail it to the end zone and force them to march the field.

Hpw many times has this stupid wallet commercial run tonight? 

[zippy5]

I'll be that guy but we should have ran that play on 4th and goal, this game would be over

Yeah, Kent would've won in regulation. 😉 

 

Win this in OT

[Zippy87]

That is one way to immediately give up momentum. 

[LZIp]

Wow. How was that upheld

An investigation needs to be done on these refs. 

[MDZip]

Terrible finish 

[Let'sGoZips94]

That's JoeMo for you. Loser.

[Zippy87]

Just as embarrassing of a loss as you can have. Kent State tried giving you the game and you still couldn't do it.

 

Moorhead just ain't it. 

[zippy5]

You just can't kick it from the 1. Cowardly move and we paid for it. Among other mistakes

Refs tried giving it to Kent, Kent didn't want it, then we played hot potato and gave it right back to Kent.

I didn't like the call either, especially since it put us down 8. Meaning we would still have to convert a 2-point conversion from an equal distance to tie it up anyway.

I look at the offense in the first half of the game. It was like the moment was too big. Once we got their crap together we were moving the ball.
 

But by then it was too little too late. It’s hard to build momentum when you’re playing from behind. Desperation and anxiety are strong opponents.

 

Oh well. Who’s next?

Ok, back home.  First, the bad:

 

The defense just wasn't there.  As they got it to overtime...then it fell apart.

 

The officiating was...I don't know.  It was just kinda off.  Spend more time officiating and less time enunciating, I guess?

 

The good?

 

Moorhead called a good offensive game.

 

But...Akron had an actual crowd and a pretty amped one at times.

 

Basically...yeah this didn't end well.  But Akron fought back in a game they should have been blown out.

 

If this were year one of Joe, I think you could take something from it. But it's Year 4...and they're again not bowl eligible (even disregarding the academic penalty).  This didn't work.  It sucks, but it didn't work.

[Zippy87]

I am just not sure how Akron gets over the hump.

 

The academic penalty this year staining any progress made. 

 

Moorhead isn't the answer, but it doesn't make financial sense to dump him.

 

Fan interest is low. 

 

Any talented underclassmen will almost certainly go portaling, as most would. 

 

I just don't see it ever changing for this program.

Even with the loss, that game probably didn't hurt fan interest.  Makes it tough. 

 

I guess we'll see.  Unless he leaves, Moorhead does return next year.  Maybe we go bowling next year...
