exit322 Posted Saturday at 05:36 PM Report Posted Saturday at 05:36 PM Akron hasn't played bad through a half. Happy with the fight. Mistakes crippling. Broughton in a knee brace isn't ideal. Quote
1981 grad Posted Saturday at 05:41 PM Report Posted Saturday at 05:41 PM As a Zip fan, I have seen so many stupid penalities that have killed drives this last one should come as no surprise. However, when you looked at the replay you could see the Minn. player not getting off of our player. I know the ref threw the flag but I do not think it should have been thrown when a player causes the foul. Quote
ZippyDoo Posted Saturday at 05:43 PM Report Posted Saturday at 05:43 PM starting to rain here now cb isn't coming back today i don't think. he was in the tent for a long time came out right before the end of half Quote

catdaddyp Posted Saturday at 05:46 PM Author Report Posted Saturday at 05:46 PM Despite the score, I’m actually really encouraged by the 1st half. Abor and Durham are going to wreck shop in MAC play. Abor has been used inside and out, and has been a terror for the Minnesota OL. Having Durham on the opposite side has made a difference. I liked what I’ve seen out of Kavals too. D. Frazier has looked good dropping into coverage, which isn’t a surprise as he played LB in high school. Blitzes are mostly hitting home this game. Though when we don’t get pressure on Lindsey, our secondary is getting torched. Minnesota has done an excellent job freezing our nicklebacks and safeties with their RPOs. There was one play where Branch was caught completely flat footed - he didn’t even move as he wasn’t sure who had the ball. I thought offensive playcalling was excellent, but the drops and penalties killed us. Let’s see what the second half brings. Quote
ZippyDoo Posted Saturday at 05:54 PM Report Posted Saturday at 05:54 PM I like how we had first and goal with the nine and got hit with two bullshit 15 yard penalties that killed a momentum that really sucked. at least here at the stadium, they look like complete bullshit. I don't know what they look like on replay but here they look like they should've never been called. Quote

LZIp Posted Saturday at 06:14 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:14 PM (edited) Sure looks like a catch from Mason by me. The ball never bobbled..he had control. Edited Saturday at 06:14 PM by LZIp Quote
exit322 Posted Saturday at 06:14 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:14 PM I can see why they upheld it, but having this discussion live is the right thing to do. Quote
ZippyDoo Posted Saturday at 06:17 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:17 PM it looked like he bobbled it was the the reason ?? Quote
1981 grad Posted Saturday at 06:18 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:18 PM They did not have proof to overrule the ref. Best catch by a Zip all day. Quote

1981 grad Posted Saturday at 06:22 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:22 PM How many times have we seen a kick returner make this same mistake as a Zip fan. 1 Quote
GP1 Posted Saturday at 06:23 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:23 PM With 8 minutes to go in the third, if Akron can get a TD, they are in striking distance. Just when I press the period button on the sentence about, the punt disaster happened. What a day..... Quote
GP1 Posted Saturday at 06:24 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:24 PM Another solid defensive play bested by a slightly better offensive play. Sigh.... 1 Quote

ZippyRulz Posted Saturday at 06:31 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:31 PM Too many mistakes for there to be any striking distance. Quote

LZIp Posted Saturday at 06:45 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:45 PM Don’t like that call on Kavals. That was a man’s tackle Quote
exit322 Posted Saturday at 06:45 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:45 PM The dumb penalties would be good to get cleared up before what's become a winnable UNLV game next week... Quote
GP1 Posted Saturday at 06:45 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:45 PM 97 can't be that stupid..... Quote
