I like seeing things work out for Ben Finley. He continues to have some impressive moments for the Zips, albeit not often resulting in wins for overmatched Akron. Ben threw an absolute dime of a bomb to Polk on the 75-yarder.

(ESPN.com RECAP) “BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- — Jalen Kitna threw for 341 yards and two touchdowns, Solomon Beebe ran for a 96-yard touchdown on the opening kickoff, and UAB beat Akron 31-28 on Saturday night. Ben Finley answered Beebe's score on Akron's first play from scrimmage with a 75-yard touchdown pass to Israel Polk. The duo connected again with a 5-yard touchdown to put the Zips up 14-7 midway through the first quarter“

Two of the teams noted below with new coaches. VT and UCLA both fire their coaches.

Tennessee FG shanked a potential game winning FG attempt and now it looks like Tennessee is about to lose in OT.

How do we miss on a kid like Aguilar (UT) or is it the admission requirements that prevent us from doing some of the JC transfers?

Youch! Kind of sad to see both of our old friends up there going down hill. There, but for the grace of the football gods, go the Bears.

This GT-Clemson game is great! Haynes King is the man.

Clemsons offense just looks stagnant. Klubnik is not playing like a 1st or even 2nd round draft pick

GT looked like they were botching the end of the game with a hurried field goal. But instead they hit the 55 yarder for the win!

What source was listening to when I heard regarding that FG? Podcast or sorts either main(er)stream or SZduo. Anyway, GT constantly practices its FG team for those situations with no time stoppage. FG team was all set up on the sideline ready to run in and execute.

I think a couple of our WRs that left seem to be doing well and look okay. Hunter and Mathew’s look good. Endries has looked good as well.

But you’re right about Ott and Jet.

Yep, took the short term cash up front in the portal. Best case now is undrafted signing n

Guessing he is out injured? Not even in the blowout Temple game today.

I always thought he "pussy" footed on dive plays. Which is obvious why he's not playing.

5 carries for 6 yards... on the whole season.

His draft prospects are just about nil at this point.

Ott and Thomas aren't helping their draft stock. Fernando, Hunter, and Endries are playing well.

Yeah, that’s about how I feel as well. Thomas still has eligibility so he can portal out of the ucla dumpster fire after this season

GoldenSD81's avatar

Yep, I can’t believe he transferred to Oklahoma and expected to only have 5 carries through 3 games. At least he got that NIL money because at this point he isn’t getting drafted

I almost, emphasis on almost, feel bad for them... a contrast to what is happening here with the leadership of Lyons and Rivera...notice how we are not even talking about the Athletic Director. Go Bears Forever!
