The offense has failed against the best defenses the last 4 years. Perhaps we now have one of the better defenses and we would expect the offense to struggle based on past experience.

This is true. Maybe this is the case. Ysufan0505, i know the backups played alot but what the starters did while playing is concerning. Hunter wells threw 2 picks.
FOOTBALLFEVER:
Yo Show- l really wouldn't be concerned with Wells being picked twice. The defense to this point has seen about everything the offense runs and are very familiar with their plays.. I believe LB kelly had all 3 picks. The offense will be fine this year don't worry !!
OleYSUfan:
I don't believe you can judge the offense and defense performance at this point. Coach Pelini and his team are evaluating every position, moving guys and changing the lineup constantly with freshmen thru seniors. During these changes several "known" starters are seeing limited time to protect against injuries.
The coaches are doing a lot more teaching and looking for the 2nd and 3rd depth teams. Also they are trying to find the right guys for the special teams which has to be shored up.
We won't really know who is starting until the Pitt game. Even then it will change in the next two home games so we can be truly ready for the MVFC.
ScarletRook:
I understand that a couple of players have run into severe scheduling problems and will lose out and possibly drop in the line-up by missing some practices during the week. I know they have people that work with scheduling for athletes, but I would guess that class times are limited.

To be fair, the backups played a lot today. Starters played first couple series and sat out.

I'm not sure why Monty was retained. YSU's "O" in a crunch time situation or against a team that plays "D" was horrible. As much as I hate to say it the "D" under Wolford was bad, but IT (D) was not the only problem Montys "O" was equally as bad when it counted.
