Akron looks pretty loose running down the field, but got stuffed as they approached the red zone.

3-0 Zips.

A shot of a good Zip fan section before the commercial break.
It looks like the Zips may have brought more fans than the Huskies...if that's the case, good job Akron!
Once again the MAC Refs show on national TV that they do not now the rules of NCAA football.
QB throws the ball and it hits an eligable reciever and what do they do? They call intentional grounding! :rolleyes:
I love watching Wolf run. He is amazing.
Looks like this is going to be a pretty competitive game.

Akron 10, NIU 7
Akron is playing to win while Northern Illinois appears to be playing not to lose. Not suprising with the Zips being decided underdogs.
geez it's about time NIU made a defensive stop.

by the way, how 'bout that crowd huh! :rofl:

Man, I can't agree with you more WesternWilly, how hard can it be for the MAC to get some competent refs????? :chair:

The MAC games that I have been to this year and the ones I've watched on TV, the officiating has been just brutal. Where do they get these refs from??? 03-banghead
Interesting things I heard on Akron's radio broadcast of the game during the 1st half:

-"Garrett Wolfe has nothing on Brett Biggs" - just before Wolfe went off for 127 first-half yards

-They also said that the crowd of Akron students was the most they have seen at a game in years. This comment surprised me a bit.


Also hear a lot of talk about the Akron Athletics program. Soccer team has a fantastic year, basketball team has tons of promise and NCAA potential and the football team is in the MAC Championship. A great time to be a Zip fan right now. I just hope that the fair-weather fans (not you guys on here) start sporting Akron apparel in NE Ohio and get more MAC love!
NIU just got a field goal to pull away a little, but this contest is by no means over. Great to see Akron play as well as they have in this game and if you have got a good sized contingent of supporters that is great to hear too. :bluethumb:
What a game! Akron scores. 24-27 NIU with 7:35 remaining. :eek:
Akron's D makes a stand and NIU has to settle for the field goal. 24-30 NIU
It's too bad someone has to lose this game. Both teams putting on a good show. I think Akron may have closed the door on themselves with that INT.
:eek:

WHAT A GAME!
Congrats to the Zips. :(
Congrats to the Zips! Nice to see some new blood go out and get it done.

Me thinks this might help your fan base to grow even more and get more people interested in MAC football. 04-rock
