The Big Question: The Zips Lead 24-6 @ Halftime

2nd big question:  Time running out in the 4th quarter, Akron trails by 2, last play of the game, ball on the 19 yard line, 4th down.  Kick the 36-yard field goal or pass into the end zone?  What if it all came down to a field goal? :(
Hopefully JD is wise enough to have some coins in his pocket during the game. I will be happy with either option if we have a chance to win the game on the last play. Where are Alcorn, Getsy & Hixson when you need them ?!

OK, here goes. On 4th down from the 19, we line up in the “spread” punt formation. Tressel calls a timeout because his players are laughing too much to focus. After the timeout, the Zippers assume the same formation. The laughter returns, but it’s primarily from the Red and Silver (please do NOT correct me on this, thank you!) fans this time, as Flaherty suddenly snaps the ball to CJ, who has snuck in the lineup as an up back. Meanwhile, Stec darts to his left then pivots 180 degrees and heads to the right flat. The rest of the team follows CJ who is slowly fading to the left side of the backfield. Just as the silver helmeted dudes are closing in (close enough, in fact, so that CJ can view the Appy St. undergarments on each of his pursuers) he heaves the ball with the trajectory of a mortar in the direction of the lonely Stec. John stumbles and bumbles for what seems like the last 10 seconds of the Zip-Redhawk basketball nightmare until the balls somehow lands between his left bicep and his helmet. He’s at the 10 yard line when it looks as though 3 Red and Silver dudes are about to hand the punting chores over to Hildreth for the rest of the season when all of a sudden, in a blaze of Blue and Gold glory, there comes none other than old #40 flying to the rescue. Laube simultaneously clocks the 3 Red and Silver dudes all the way to the Island of Misfit Toys as Stec waltzes into the end zone, untouched!!! Zips win by 4!!! Zips win by 4!!! :cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:
