Offense needs to score.

Offense is pathetic.

[Falcon137]

How long till the defense says "eff it, offense can't score anyway?"

[Falcon137]

Can't lineup for a punt return!!!!!!!!!!! Another wasted timeout because we can't lineup. BOOOOOOOOOOO. I'm sick of undisciplined Clawson teams.

[jpfalcon09]

Schilz is 9-23 for 74 yards...

[Falcon137]

That's BG's 6th penalty. 2 have been declined and have 2 wasted timeouts because they can't get the right personal on the field. BOOOOO.

GET SCHILZ OUT!

We're making Akron's defense look like Alabama's defense

[jpfalcon09]

Matt Johnson needs to play the rest of the season.

Odd clock management by Akron there

I think the weirdest part about this game is that we're only down by 10 despite how everything has gone.

Penalties absolutely killed us. Sure, plays aren't going to go well 100% of the time, but those penalties are ridiculous.

[jpfalcon09]

This is one of the worst defenses in Division 1 and BG can only muster 150 yards in one half and not score? Dave Clawson's tenure is on the line with this game.

How can we be this bad? Schilz has clearly regressed

Halftime thoughts ...

Schilz is a junior. Three year starter. In Bowling Green. Why does he still have problem playing with wind?
Late in the half Anthon Saumel was 6 rushes, 47 yards. So ... why the crap are we passing all the time?
Defense has been playing very inspired. With the exception of a tired lull in the second quarter, they have played well. They will need more time resting, though, so the offense HAS TO SCORE AND KEEP ON THE FIELD!!
The offensive playcalling is boggling me. Why pass so often when the QB is struggling, the receivers have been streaky, and we have an all MAC tailback? Why? I know Samuel is more effective because defenses fear the pass, but he's our best playmaker and he has I think 9 carries in the first half. Bogggling.
If Schilz continues playing with problems with this wind, it might be Johnson time.
What's with all the penalties? Every time Schilz rolls out, the O line makes a mistake and holds. Either that's gotta get fixed or Schilz has to get rid of it faster. O has yet to hold on a running play.

Frustrating. However ... we are only down by 10 points. If .. if the offense gets moving, we should be fine because the defense, if they weren't so exhausted at points, might be pitching their own shutout right now.

But yet the coaching staff keeps throwing him out there. This team is as good as the team that went 2-10 at this point.

I'll say this again. Akron has had 8-9 guys in the box the entire game. Same as Toledo, Va. Tech, Idaho. No team respects Schilz whatsoever, they think he sucks. They are saying please, please throw the ball. Schilz can't beat us. Samuel can, Schilz can't.
