A couple things about Akron.

The Zips are 1-2 with losses to Ohio St and Rutgers. A win over Colgate. They are tied for first in the MAC. Looks like they are mostly a passing team with a change of pace running QB that has gotten around 30 snaps. Ranked 78th in passing, 121st in rushing. Scoring 18 a game and giving up 40 but getting stomped by Ohio St skews that I would bet. Still I do like how that sounds.
They throw more to the TE and RB but have a couple WR's, Norton and Golden that appear to do most of the damage.
Seems like they are tailor made for us to beat. Lawd I hope so. Go Cocks!
Kickoff is 7:30 In Williams-Brice and on ESPNU.

Refs - LSU game

Whether you agree or not, the general consensus by many is that we got hosed by the refs on the offensive PI and qb hit penalty on the int return. Either way we had too many penalties and that's on the staff.

I did have an observation. I actually watched the 4th quarter with the skycam view on ESPN3. After the LSU fumble recovery close to the goal line at the end of the game, the LSU defender stood in our south end zone at the hedges with the ball right in front of fans in wheel chairs just taunting the crowd for 10 seconds. Maybe a lot of players do this type of thing but a flag seem warranted. Not saying it would have changed the outcome but the refs never missed an opportunity to call a penalty on us.

On his visit to South Carolina and where the Gamecocks stand in his recruitment: “South Carolina stays high on my list. The game was insane, the atmosphere was intense and the team stepped up and showed they can compete.”

On how he furthered his relationship with wide receivers’ coach Mike Furrey and head coach Shane Beamer during the big visit to Columbia: “I got to the game a little late, so we caught up with Coach Furrey after the game. We talked about what we saw out of the wide receivers and caught up on my season so far. I saw Coach Beamer a few minutes before kickoff and he ran over to me and said ‘Welcome Home!”

Are we ready for LSU

I just felt good about the UK game. I picked us to win by a small margin. Here is exactly what I said...Looking forward to a good game today. It will be tough, but I see Carolina squeaking it out, 24-21.

Well, I feel good this week too, but still feel a little conservative, 28-21 Gamecocks.

I really hope they prove me wrong again. Those guys improved greatly in one week. I really hope they did that again. I have no clue what the score will be, it could be 3-0 or 31-6, but I just feel we are going to come out of this with a win.
Some people say UK isn't a good team. Well, they were ranked #23 to start the season. If they had been able to finish their first game, they may have been ranked higher. If we win, some on here will say LSU ain't so good. We might have to wait on the Ole Miss game to prove if we are any good are not. I just hope for a win this Saturday. Make us 3-0 and we might get ranked.

I will be there with my rain poncho on yelling like crazy. It is another sold out crowd. That crowd looked really good at the start of the ODU game. We just need them to make plenty of noise. We need that 12th man.
