I've heard (and it is no stronger than that) that Broughton could have played against UNLV if absolutely necessary but that they didn't want to risk it and wanted him back to health by the start of the AMC schedule and that he should be ready for this week.

I hope that's right. I heard on the radio (after I left the game early 🤷‍♂️) that he would be out "a couple of weeks" but it wasn't clear if that included the UNLV game or not.

Well if true, that's a good thing.  Yeah, I think he'd have been better against UNLV, but these last 8 games are where you want to be at your strongest.  Akron still has shown enough that...if the cards fall right...they could contend in the conference.

I only post the prime unsubstantiated and unverified rumors.

Jesus’ 12-man staff would likely go 6-6 with our NIL coffers. Our training table would be endless bread, but at least the guys could eat. 
 

Could Coach Jesus turn water into a d-line? If so, 7-5 is the absolute best case. And he’d leave us for Notre Dame before our bowl game anyway.
 

 

UA would never pay for 12 assistants!

Jesus had an all volunteer staff. It would fit the Zips budget perfectly.
