Facts are Facts after our loss to the Rabbits!
FOOTBALLFEVER:
They have been solid, but seemed very confused the entire game. Taking nothing away from the freshman Qb but we made his job pretty easy
Blo Pelini:
--- Quote from: FOOTBALLFEVER on October 18, 2015, 09:55:18 PM ---Just curious who is the defensive secondary coach? What I seen in coverage was very disturbing. Couldn't even cover twins and switch on a simple X ..leaving the slant across the middle wide open

At Nebraska, Bo was very hands on with the secondary. That is why they allegedly churned through so many coaches at that position.
Observer:
Facts are indeed facts. So when Pelini leaves after next year for the power 5, having accomplished whatever he will accomplish, which at this point doesn't seem like it will be much, 1) Will Strollo be allowed to hire the next coach? 2)Will YSU move to D2 3) what new building/slash facility construction/upgrade will be announced to draw attention away from habitual almost genetic mediocrity of the current administration. I hear the ghost of Dike Beede is looking for a spot.
YSUFANSINCE1990:
YSUGO great post. Our defense is very average at best. Our defensive line in every game except St Francis gets pushed around. We give up huge chunks of yardage in the run game every week. Allow too many big plays. Our corners are awful, this Kenneth Durden is a joke. You watch the corners from South Dakota State, thats how you play, in fact their entire secondary played as a unit and together.
Way to early in the Pelini era, but I said when hired and I say now, he is not the answer. In most of his big games at Nebraska, his defense was embarrassed, games at Wisconsin and Ohio State were not competitive. A Wisconsin running back once ran for over 400 yards on his defense. Not going to rehash Pelini hire, it is done. But his 9 wins at Nebraska, very similar to Heacock and Wolford winning 6-8 at YSU, and both got fired. You have 2-3 lock wins each year when you play the teams we do before conference play begins.
I am disappointed in the lack of progress of Wells, especially since Montgomery built him to be the next great QB here. Maybe Montgomery is the problem as well. Our offense is predictable and good teams shut us down.
Right now we are an average team, average program. I also think Pelini needs to quit whining about the fans, what we have seen the last two weeks, can you blame them for not coming. Also, big picture, most games at the FCS level are played in front of 5-8 thousand fans, we are where we should be. Even with a winning program maybe 12-14 thousand fans, but we need a reality check. FCS football is regional, and maybe even local interest. Other than ND State with ESPN exposure, most could care less and would prefer to stay home at watch a good game on TV.
Because there are 24 teams in a watered down playoff, and just about the great FCS programs have made the jump to FBS, there will be some not so good teams in the playoffs, and we could be one of them. Appy State, Georgia Southern, Troy, Nevada, Marshall, and the list goes on, have all moved to FBS. We may be the lone one not stepping up. And if we had the money, and they would take us, we would be in the MAC.

YSU has a much better "D" than you think. Again, with the rules change from years gone by "O" is king and "D" has to always play catch up. Not many teams "IF" any are shutting down teams every play every game like we used to see in the early 90's at YSU. The player on YSU's "D" that I don't understand why he plays is #1 :-\ Tackles like a 2nd grade girl.
Bottom line; the Offense is Offensive and has been for a few years,, I can't understand why Monty was retained. Yes Dan I said it but I have to call it as the facts state.
Carry on!
