Akron Zips

[RCAJUN90]

The players were trying, so I hang my hat on depth. More than in recent memory.

Excellent point! We weren't even trying to score with our second string in and still managed to do so. We have more depth than perhaps ever before.

I think that is why Hud hung 70. It not only gave our guys confidence, but I puts fear in the heart of other teams. We put up just as many points as Oregon. It also lets the recruits know this is who we are no matter what happened over the last two weeks.

We put up more points than Oregon, same margin of victory...63 points.

Post from the Akron board.

"This is a very winnable game IMO. I said in another thread that, If you read their boards, they think that they are King Kong. Too bad it is the Sun Belt.

After the Michigan game, there should be no reason that this should be an easy win.

Yes I know that they scored 70 on Nicholls St. However they beat an apparently bad Western team.

Louisiana-Lafayette, or ULL, or U-La-La if you prefer, is pounding their chest at the moment, so this will be the deciding game for this season."

Poster is a dope on the Akron board....That loss to Miiiichigan was a "Coulda, woulda, shoulda" loss and those stay with a team for a good long time.
In general, I don't think teams from the MAC have the overall athleticism that teams like UL (from the south) have. Larger? Maybe.....What's been the overall success of MAC teams against southern based teams this year? Other than Kent State getting slapped all over Tiger Stadium, what have the other teams done? Miiiichigan isn't Michigan either this year, at least I've heard....To commemorate this game, I think I'll spring for a bag of Zapp's as the Cajuns kick ___ on the Zip's.

Bowden is a hell of a coach. It won't be an easy game.

In fact, I think Vegas will have us as dogs.

Just looked at the odds....Louisiana -6 1/2

[CrappDaddy]

We will win the game! Running game will be too much for them to handle for 4 quarters.

[Bankruptcyman]

If we don't abandon the run!

[CrappDaddy]

If we don't abandon the run!

I think that lesson has been learned!

ill put that akron loss on the o.c. who calls a toss inside the five and on the near side on third and goal against a much faster bigger d? almost as balzy as karl pelini calling for a spike on 4th down...yeah that happened

[leeman]

Did not even know that acron had a football team. will be a decisive win.
