Zips offense paralyzed
Football
Blame the offensive line for the most disgusting loss all season.
Western Michigan beat Akron 17-0 as Luke Getsy was sacked numerous times and running back Dennis Kennedy only scurried for 18 yards on 12 carries.
The Zips never had a chance to move the ball with WMU's good defensive front charging into Akron's backfield all game.
The senior class to step up, but they refused. The defense played solid in the first half, but it became apparent they were on the field too long in the second half. Akron gave up two quick touchdowns to put the game out of reach.
In truth, the game was out of reach at 3-0.
I'll post more later.
