University of Akron football coach Joe Moorhead admits that he liked a lot of what he saw during spring practice, mostly because of his what he saw in his team's attitude. The offense may not have much of a problem buying what Moorhead is selling. His fo cus as a coach has come on that side of the ball and it's led to prolific scoring teams such as Oregon, where the Ducks averaged better than 33 points per game. Past success doesn't lead to future fortune, but there's reason to be hopeful. The Zips offen se evolved through the course of last season, being the reason the team came close to pulling out a couple of close games. Still, that was then and players realize that and understand questions surround this year's team.Here are the three primary ones for the UA offense: Can DJ Irons take the reins of the offense and hold them? Moorhead recruited Irons at another college, so if anyone but him is under center to start the season, it would be earthquake level shocking. Irons, at 6-foot-6, 215 pound s, has the size for the position. He also possesses the arm strength and legs to get out of sticky situations. He's a legitimate dual-threat quarterback. At times last season, he flashed at the position, but in eight appearances, he also took a beating l eading to some issues. "I felt like I started not to have fun a little bit last year," he said. "Now, I feel like I'm getting my confidence back and I'm just ready to be on the offensive side of the ball and get in the end zone." - Akron Beacon Journal

Junior quarterback DJ Irons was one of the standouts on offense for the Blue Team with three touchdown passes - one apiece to sophomore Alex Adams, senior Shocky Jacques-Louis and sophomore Blake Hester. Irons, a returning quarterback who played for form er Zips coach Tom Arth last season, completed 13-of-21 passes for 112 yards Saturday. "I felt like I played straight, but I could have done some things better," Irons said. "I will take this, listen and just add on and keep getting better every day." Ada ms hauled in a 30-yard dart by Irons for a touchdown in the second quarter to give the Blue Team a 10-3 lead. Irons connected with Jacques-Louis for a 5-yard touchdown to put the Blue Team ahead 17-10 four seconds before halftime.Irons found Heste r for a 25-yard touchdown in the third quarter to give the Blue Team a 24-17 advantage. "He started a little bit slow," Moorhead said of Irons. "There were some things early on that he either misread or held the ball a little bit long, but he collected h imself from there. I thought the line held up and protected well and did a nice job run blocking. "We have got a pretty solid arsenal of receivers to get the ball to. He has got to be just like a great point guard, identify who to get the ball to and let those guys play with great speed in space." - Akron Beacon Journal
