Well, Kent State just pulled a Kent State on the final play of the half. Wow.

Yes, the loss to Akron was a big one, no question. There’s been a lot of talk around here already after the Akron loss about how the MACC didn’t happen again this season, but Ohio is still alive in the MAC race and it’s not over yet. Akron “could” lose to Kent State and Ohio “should” beat Buffalo. That would send the Bobcats to Detroit. Kent State has shown some improvement in recent week and has nothing to lose and you know they would love to ruin Akron’s season. And let’s face it, the Zips have no real history of how they handle success because they aren’t really in the role to begin with. Akron knows the importance of this game and will feel the pressure while Kent State won’t have any of that. No one thought Akron would be Ohio last week just like no one expects Kent State to beat Akron this week. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Akron fall flat on its face Tuesday night and see Kent State sneak away with the victory.
Good call. I can really see Kent's improvement. Ohio's season ended last week. All that's left now is our two season-finishing toilet bowls @ Buffalo and TBA.

Kent State makes a QB change and goes right down the field for a TD. Only down 10 late 3rd quarter now...

Akron’s total yardage - COMBINED - in the 2nd, 3rd and this point in the 4th quarter right now is 25. They simply can’t move the ball. If Kent State can score here this game could really turn around.

At this point, you're rearranging the deck furniture on the Titanic.

Congrats to Akron.

Seems that championship teams almost always have a big dose of luck at some point in their seasons. I was hoping for some of that luck last night, but the 17 seconds to close the first half all but eliminated Kent from the upset. The Flashes simply shot themselves in the foot, twice.

I stand by this: Akron is a good team. Ohio is better. If Ohio lined up to play Akron again next week, I like our chances. A lot. But, Akron has some good athletes, including a good secondary.

Having said that, I predict Toledo will take Akron apart in Detroit. The Zips are premature in getting to the Championship game, and Toledo will expose them. Just a hunch.
