YSU @ ISUb 11/20 1:05 pm
Penguin Nation:
Reviewing MVFC stats, ISUb generally falls in the middle of the pack in most categories. An exception is that ISUb is the most penalized MVFC team, average over 70 yards lost in penalties/game. Also, ISUb has the most sacks against, average 3.9 sacks/game.
ISU b (2-5/4-6) beat SIU 39-36, who we lost to in OT.
From YSUsports.com:
"YSU has won 20 of the 24 all-time meetings in the series, but the Sycamores have won three of the last five meetings, including a 27-24 overtime win at Stambaugh Stadium in 2014. At Memorial Stadium in Terre Haute, YSU is 11-1 with the lone loss coming in 2011 (30-24). The Guins won the last time the two teams played in Terre Haute, 35-24, battling through two lightning delays. Ten of the 24 meetings have been decided by a touchdown or less."
Massey: YSU with a 66% chance of victory with a predicted score of 34-28.
5dimes: YSU -6 O/U: 55
From gosycamores.com
"Sophomore QB Matt Adam took the reigns of ISU’s starting job minutes before the season opener vs. Butler on Sept. 5, and hasn’t looked back. His 2,055 yard season this year is already the sixth-best passing season in Sycamore history."
"Senior WR Gary Owens and junior WR Robert Tonyan Jr. put up another impressive performance against Western Illinois on Saturday, combining for 13 receptions for 147 yards. On the year, the duo has combined for 75 receptions, 1,130 yards and 14 TDs and during their two years together as receivers at ISU they have combined for 198 catches for 2,692 yards and 23 scores. Both have tied the single-game receiving touchdown record of three scores in a game this season, and both are encroaching on the single-season season (eight) and all-time career (15) touchdown records."
"Following a season in which ISU made the SportsCenter Top-10 for its “Circle of Death” trick play, Indiana State has scored on four different trick plays this season."
"Youngstown State comes to Terre Haute this weekend on the cusp of a potential bid to the FCS Playoffs :) at 5-5 overall and 3-4 in conference play."
Penguin Nation:
tOSU took Whisky to the woodshed 59-0 in the BIG title game in December 2014, and the College Football Playoff selection committee was so impressed that tOSU was selected to enter the playoffs.
I believe that if YSU similarly wallops the Trees, the effort will be noticed by the FCS ADs comprising the selection committee. YSU would be the fifth MVFC team selected, with the same # of at-large invitations as last year (ISUb was invited with a 4-4/7-5 record).
A long shot, but possible nonetheless.

Could be tough putting up many points with the weather. Rain should end in the morning but 30mph winds are forecasted for the entire game. FCS playoff selection will air live on Sunday @11 on ESPNU
IAA Fan:
