Akron has named junior college transfer Clayton Moore their starting quarterback.

Congratulations - now go take on the Buckeyes in the 'Shoe.  In all seriousness, after Week 1, Moore isn't an awful option.  Akron's remaining non-conference schedule includes VMI, Cininnati and FIU.  Sprinkle in some MAC defenses, and you might just have a decent bye week plug in.  Moore, a one time Ole Miss recruit, beat out Patrick Nicely, who had started 21 straight for the Zips.  This offense can't be worse than in 2010, and now you and I both know who is calling the shots.
