Will Akron score 100 Points

[gangrene]

OH NOOOO...It's Meager-time.

[Mad Hatter]

WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[gangrene]

Meager is going to have negative yards passing.

[NTEdgex2]

I would have rather seen him put Phillips in.

GMG!

[untwillrise]

the game is over. but it wasnt as bad as i thought it could be.let go stomp them MuTS next week.

they never gave up.

[NTEdgex2]

Final stats?

GMG!

[akriesman]

Meager certainly didn't provide any kind of ammo for a QB controversy. That is a good thing also

[meanrob]

if you guys are satisfied with that performance, i don't know what to say. we were never in the game.

wow, we moved the ball sometimes after they had a 33-7 lead.

no imagination inside the red zone.

again.

We lost by the first quarter. Take those mistakes off the board and we won. We beat ourselves.

[meanrob]

they went totally conservative in the second half. no reason to believe we stop them if they don't take the foot off the gas.

yay, we won the second half!!!

[NTEdgex2]

At least the offense was able to show more than at Tulsa.

GMG!

[mgsteve]

we got killed, Akron took their foot off our throat, and we did what? NOTHING!

The sad thing is all 4 quarters count.

If DD and RF learned anything today, it's take chances on offense. They saw the result against SMU, and we dominated the 2nd half tonight...Woody is basically a freshman QB, let him go out there and learn and screw up......we have momentum going into our next home game. MTSU is getting blown out tonight, worse than our UT loss. I think we'll open conference play with a decent win next week against them.

The last OOC road win was October 28, 2000. No more chances this year. When will it end? 8-41.

We got all our yardage and points in garbage time; the really, really sad part is that garbage time started in the 2nd quarter (that's when Akron already had their 2nd string defense in).

What about the 3rd and 4th quarter? I thought we dominated those quarters (admittedly, without points of course). Even Akron announcers would getting nervous and complimenting our play....I don't know Akron well enough to say they had 2nd string in the 3Q and 4Q but I suspect hey didn't given our offensive/defensive play as well as several opportunities to come back.

Below is the drive summary for the 3rd and 4th quarter. One drive of consequence. Several more drives that ate clock, and didn't go anywhere. Not exactly dominating.

DD was only looking creative tonight, because we were down by 20-26 pts and he was trying to make up the deficit. Next week it will be back to the same conservative approach, that's just how he is. Nothings going to change.
