08/05/22 - QB DJ Irons, rSr/2024, Akron

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 focus 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 offense 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 pounds, 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 leading 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
