My guess would be attention to game preparation. We seem to be "up" and ready for gameplans ala Pitt, but as the Akron announcer said, we look flat tonight.

Now, here is to hoping we have some second half adjustments and get with it!

GO FALCONS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've tuned in the audio of WCWA for Todd and Cal's call for halftime. Gonna see how off it is from the video feed and maybe rid myself of the Akron jokers...

We got a gift there as Akron tried to do a behind-the-back handoff on 3rd and 2 at the 3 yard line. Down 27-14. Must get a TD on this drive.

Sheehan is borderline useless on any pattern over ten yards down the field. We've got players running wide open through the secondary and nobody to get the ball to them.

Radio announcers are saying that Sheehan is doing poorly - missing badly. Again I will say Beam?

Can AT will this team to victory?

3rd and 10 from midfield, and we throw a 4 yard curl and punt. What's the point?

No kidding. Way to get the troops fired up at halftime, coach. It's not like the season is slipping away or anything.

For our offense to be effective, there has to be a threat of the Q-back running the ball. Examples J5 & Omar. We don't have that with Tyler.
