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.

That statement could not be more true!!!! Wow.

I'd look for him to play SS here. MSU moved him to a LB because they were light there and Powell could play, even as an undersized one as he could light them up on tackles. Powell wasn't keen on playingh LB and he loo0ks to play at the next level after college, which won't be at LB. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried him at weakside LB here either, but he won't be thrilled. Major hitter, good field sense, pass D was good at MSU ( but the secondary was loaded there) and nothing wrong with his speed. YSU should be improved in the secondary and have some depth. Wouldn't hurt for him to pick up 5-10 lbs.

Let's see ...slated as one of the top-10 players on defense ...perhaps even top-5. Played at a big-10 school and HS at S and LB. So you are predicting him to play at YSU as S or LB? So what is there to analyze? He was not brought here to snap the ball. ::)
So was that your one allotted positive post of the year, or did you go to Harding? ;)

I was responding to go guins comment, who, like you, knows next to nothing about football. I always have positive comments on here, just not EVERY ONE as you would like, being the leader of the "cheerleaders". I always hate to let the BS pass for facts here and will respond. The "cheerleaders" have no problem ripping the players but holding up losers like the AD or praising a coach who hasn't even coached his first game after failing at the last level. Cheerleaders and BS artists ............... that why I come................ to add some reality to the site.
Perspective. ;D ;D ;D
P.S. -- not from the area , so I didn't go to Harding. That, however, is one of the few places in the area Pelini should recruit. And Florida !!
The YO Show:
Paladin, I would like to say that while I disagree with your comments sometimes, it does make the discussion different. Also you said you arent from the area. You mean you arent from youngstown or arent from warren (harding) area?
