I don't see that illusive 6th win on the schedule. They may even struggle to get to 5 wins. 

 

They certainly may.  The key is going to be "is Poffenbarger a good MAC QB?"  If he is, Akron can win the whole darn league.  If he's not, Akron will win 3 or 4 games.

Can’t believe he didn’t bring up Bivens.

This Skoczen guy lost ALL CREDIBILITY when he was asked who compliments Durham on that edge position and his response was, "Ah, Amari Bivens a redshirt freshman from last year."   Seriously??? That is your answer? A walkon DEFEENSIVE TACKLE? How about an actual edge rusher? Abor is going to be an unstoppable force this year I am predicting him to be First or Second Team All MAC, maybe at least name Kurtis Waye or that  you expect Dahvon Frazier to step up in his second year at the position? But to name a red shirt walk on defensive tackle????

 

oi vay....

I think he made some good points and had some informative things to say, but he was clearly lost when it came to most of the portal additions. It seemed like he wasn’t too familiar with backups who didn’t play much last year either and ended up throwing out the one name he could think of. Definitely not the best look, but it wasn’t a terrible interview either.
