The purpose of this post is to talk about the game itself. Not the attendance or any trash if possible.
QBs
For the greater portion of this game, Frye had his thunder stolen from him by Stan Hill. I haven't heard this said on here yet, but Hill was really good. He would throw one or two clunkers, but then hit some precision thows when Akron had guys in his face. Then, when the Zips could get no pressure on him in the 3rd quarter, he was just carving them up. The TV guys were really switching the hype over to Hill, and deservedly so. Bates made some good snags too. Although what people will talk about are the misses.
Frye really needed this game to have one "signature game" in his senior year. Watching this, you could see how hampered the guy has been by some butterfingered receivers. He took the bull by the horns late. But there were two specific plays that were just SICK. One was the last play of the 3rd quarter. He juked away from three Marshall guys, freezing one of them with a fake even though the guy was BEHIND him, ran to the edge and hit a man 30 yards down field. That drive ended up stalling. The 4th down tying TD was just incredible. He avoided a sack, ran to the absolute last instant and hit that guy in the absolute only place he could. A great play all around.
Kudos to both QBs for really solid play.
