The problem with late game collapses comes from either 1. players just not good enough, 2. poor conditioning, 3. players choking, 4. coaches choking, or some combination of the 4. Can’t speak to Nebraska against ranked teams, but I suspect it was the players just weren’t good enough. YSU had good enough players against almost everybody through 3 quarters, so by my theory; it’s one or a combination of the last 3. My experience over the years says it was a combination of “running out of gas” (conditioning) and coaching “tightening up”. Hopefully the attacking style of D talked about and show a little bit in the spring game with have us more aggressive in the 4th quarter. They certainly seem committed to conditioning, and the roster is probably a little deeper this year. Unfortunately I don’t see any future stars on either side of the ball in the recruiting class. I hope the Nebraska experience of OK players, but just not quite “there” doesn’t become an issue at YSU.
Your thoughts?

yes, I'd like to see them do well. Wolf recruited very well over his tenure here. I chuckle at many of the Wolf haters and the Pelini choirboys. I fully agree, The D did in Wolf as he never had a good DC here to get them over the hump and they were playoff worthy or near it for many years. The love affair with Pelini, just a local good old boy, is one to watch. Its been mentioned that Pelini FAILED at Nebraska against ranked teams almost all the time. This at a major university with everything going for it. For what its worth, he has Wolf's players and it a Cadillac. They are loaded for bear.
But, I won't be there . We gave up our Penguin Club seats. Go Bucks ! lol. Get rid of another local good old boy failure ( AD) and I'll be back. Will catch some replays at night, maybe. I expect a coaching hiccup at YSU. Watch what the MVFC predicts in the pre-season vote. lol
As I said before, many times.............. this will not be a "drama" here at YSU. It will be a "comedy".

My thoughts regarding the current season are I'm excited and optimistic. I have high hopes for pelini even given the circumstances, but I'm not going to have unrealistic expectations for the season either. Im not expecting a national championship run, but I'm willing to say that the past, i completely agree about conditioning and defense probably doing wolford in. Id say alot more than conditioning I think. Also overlooked, im wondering if team leadership was lacking too. Just look at all the off field issues the past couple years. Idk maybe I'm wrong on that? It just seems like it was alot.
But I do have high hopes for the season because I do think pelini will get the defense to play better, and considering that was a glaring concern, I believe you will see them perform well this year
