Buckzip Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Let's go 1-1 versus the B10 this year. Akron played a good defensive game Saturday and the young offense got some great experience against a great defensive team. Now let's grow from this game and kick some Hoosier butt.Please don't follow up a hard fought game with a POS game against a very beatable Indiana team.

Ryno aka Menace Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 The very beatable team pounded the snot out of Western Michigan at Western yesterday. I don't look at it as western is a good team that got beat up, i look at it as indiana is not as good as ohio state. If the buckeyes score 20 then indiana should be 20 or less.

skip-zip Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Ryno..that's true. Indiana is probably not as good as Ohio State. Only time will tell. But it's certainly not encouraging that they beat probably the best team in the MAC on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think that Akron is better than them this year. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class of 82 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 I think we've got a shot against the Hoosiers. But their QB is a major handful.Terry Hoeppner was really starting to put his stamp on that program before he so tragically died. I think you can bet those kids are playing this season for him, and will give Akron everything it wants and more. I think we'll have to play at our best to beat them in their house.

You are probably right. I think that the game yesterday was a big help in heloing this team grow. I think the offense will be better next week. They can't be worse.I just hope the team doesn't have a let down after a hard fought loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class of 82 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 FWIW, here's the bio on Hoosiers quarterback Kellen Lewis, who is a redshirt sophomore from Jacksonville, FL."Completed one of the best freshman seasons in Indiana football history, racking up 2,221 yards passing and 19 total touchdowns ... named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team and was named a Freshman All-American by both the Sporting News and Rivals.com ... became the first Hoosier since Levron Williams in 2001 to win Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors twice in one season ... voted the team MVP at the end of the season ... against Michigan State, Lewis had a day for the ages, as he became just the fourth player in IU history to account for six touchdowns in a game ... threw for five touchdown passes against the Spartans, the second-highest single-game total in Hoosier history, and racked up a career-high 261 yards on 15-of-26 passing ... added 75 yards on the ground, including a 27-yard touchdown ... that followed an impressive performance against No. 15/13 Iowa, when Lewis posted 255 yards and three TDs, earning Big Ten co-Offensive Player of the Week, USA Today Player of the Week and Rivals.com National Freshman of the Week honors ... recorded his first career 300-yard game with 321 yards at Minnesota and finished the game with three scoring strikes ... added 75 rushing yards to set a new career best of 396 total yards of offense - the fifth-best total in IU history ... made his collegiate debut at Ball State, hitting James Hardy for his first career touchdown ... made his first career start against Southern Illinois the following week ."This kid can play, and he has some weapons to throw to. Defensively, Indiana is perhaps not as impressive, but it looks to me like a strength-against-strength, weakness-against-weakness type of game. It will be interesting to see what kind of spread their will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyzip84 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 This will be a tall order. I figure we'll be at least 14 point underdogs, but if the D can play like they did this past week we should make a game of it at least. I hope JD takes a little more of a "go for broke" mentality with this game. I'd rather take some some chances and get burned every now and then as opposed to playing it safe. I think we need to be aggressive in games like this to give us our best shot at winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
