Countdown to YSU Season Opener!
DavedS:
Agree with Paladin--I think Powell will be a starter at Strong Safety and have an immediate impact--supposedly he is quicker than his 4.52 time in the 40--time will tell.
goodnews:
I am confident in saying he will be a drastic improvement from what we have seen the last 5 years in the secondary. We had players out of position and receivers over top of the defense more times then not. The less tackles our secondary makes the better our defense will be.....

Remains to be soon. That defense can take all the help it can get!

Amen to that!
I believe half the problem was we recruited offensive players and not enough talent on defense, but also we played so passively on defense it was a huge turn-off to me. I would get in the car after a game and listen to the radio recap and they were telling me the star of the defense was Julius Childs and I was wondering if they watched the same game as I did? Set up 15 yards off the line, let the receiver drive 12 yards downfield, turn back and catch a 10 yard hook. Over and over and over. Good grief he had 14 tackles against Duquesne and 11 against Butler to open the home season. Now don't get me wrong, I think Julius Childs might made a better cooking show host than a CB, but a lot of that was the coaching game plan too. We scored enough to win, just gave up WAY too many to make the playoffs. Pelini seems much more aggressive on D and that alone may be enough.
