    Zip Pick of the Week

    Bowden and the boys head to FAU's backyard to play their bowl game. At first glance you would think this is a huge advantage for FAU. But, if you follow Zips football and I do, you know this area is a hot bed for recruiting for Bowden and the Zips. The Zips are a tough and aggressive bunch! I have said this from the start of the year. I predicted them to go to the championship game and lose. Wasn't happy with Bowden's preparation on how he was going to handle the QB situation going into that game. He has settled on the Frosh from Tampa area. This kid is an athlete with a nice arm. Kiffin has his team playing lights out football. The Zips have started the last two games off slow. If they come out ready to play from the rip, this will be a heated and interesting game. Zips defense can all tackle good. Zips have a Very fast team. This FAU team might be underestimating the Zips. Akron keeps it close and covers the 22 1/2. The Akron kids will have a lot of friends and family at the game to inspire them to fight hard! Go Zips!

    I can't see it that way. FAU scores as many points as they want to. Kiffin just received a 10 year extension and will show everyone why he got it in this game. Akron gave up 41 or more points in 4 of their games this past season. FAU scored 41 or more in 9 of their games and 52 or more in three of those games.

    Mannnn......22.5 points is a lot of friggin points.

    Akron looks like garbage in just about every offensive and defensive advanced stat, yet they manage to hang in game, and have beaten a few pretty solid MAC teams. Common opponent was Buffalo, and FAU lost to their backup QB, yet Akron managed to win, even though getting outplayed.

    Mannnn......22.5 points is a lot of friggin points.

    I don’t see why they couldn’t score. I mean they put up 20+ on Toledo. FAU is no 85 bears or anything

    I'm an Akron resident. The offense took a hit when Senior OSU transfer went down in game 2 or 3. Then another kid started to emerge as a good replacement and he went down with a broken leg. Two Florida kids share the RB duties. Both are seniors and both have heart and don't lay down easy. The Frosh QB (Keto Nelson) that gets the start tonight is the best Akron QB since Charlie Frye. This defense needs to get off to a better start and they can make this a game. Akron played Iowa St. tough for 3 full quarters. One of first games this year. The secondary is young and faded late in the game against a potent Iowa St. offense. Take the Zips and the points. These teams the FAU offense is running up the score on do not have the SPEED Akron has on both sides of the ball. Akron's track team is tops every year. Bowden recruits speed and this team can flat out fly! Can't wait to see this one unfold. Get it in on Akron and the points! GL

    FAU may win 50-0, but you just can't give 23.5 imo? Thats just too much motivation for the dog and FAU knows they're a huge favorite. That being said I'm on Under 67. Akron 10-3 Over this year and will ball control as much as possible to shorten the game

    Terry Bowden is a shitty coach

    4th/2 at their own 29 and Kiffin goes for it and Bowden lets the defense get fooled somewhat and they make it. Same thing 4th/goal from the 4 and they hurry-up and get the TD. You call the timeout and make sure your defense is ready? Kiffin prob punts or takes the FG if Bowden is doing his job!

    Akron is atrocious. It is what it is. They are a 4-9 team that somehow made it to 7-6. 45-10 final. Lol

    Just face it. Florida Atlantic is a much superior team than Akron is. That is really all there is to it. This game is rather pathetic.

    Don't you just get 3 downs in Canadian football? The Akron defense would be great there Yeah....total shit matchup. I'm hoping for Under 67 but Kiffin is such a prick? Prob score 4 more TDs and 2 more onside kicks

    Kiffin and Briles's kid. Rapes are ok on campus and they'll bring the rappers over to pay off the kids with coke and strippers. Just the old days with the Hurricanes. Total thug program. I'd pay a months salary to see Kiffin infected with aids. Smug prick.....never done shit without his daddys name

    I'M witnessing something I have not seen from this Zip team, niggers quitting! Then again they are niggers. Guess not that surprised. They are only tough when they are getting the best of it. When they have to fight out of a mess they fold like lawn chairs. fock the Zips and their ****** palyers!

    I missed the mark badly on this one too. The first quarter set the tone, when Akron was settling for FG's from the 2 or 3, and FAU was going for it on 4th down.

    Can the Bull S**t. You are just another Kiffin hater that can't stand the fact that the guy has forgotten more about football than you ever knew. He also makes more money in one month than you do in one year. Kiffin has done more with his life than you will ever do with yours. Do you think you are some type of tough guy or something?

    He's just a smug asshole so I can see why you identify with his so much! If his last name wasn't Kiffin then he wouldn't be shit. He f'd over Tennessee and that a huge and loyal fanbase.....and yes I am a tough guy! All I see you doing is talking shit to people like a keyboard warrior. I played football. I'm uessing our only known shot at celebrity was applying for My 600 Pound Life

    I respect Kiffin as a coach, but he's an idiot. Guy was setting a great example for his kid during the post game conference. With his kid (i'm assuming it's his) or someone's kid sitting right next too him, he decided to smack talk Akron from comments they made before the game, and swear while doing so. Grow up! Did he really have to respond to talk from an 18 year old from Akron?
