YSU vs WVU

<< < (30/32) > >>

ysuguins4:
Looked like there were quite a few empty seats.  Were there a lot of folks selling extra tickets before the game?

pennyguin1:
I saw quite a few people trying to get rid of their tickets. Not too many needing to buy tickets.

ytownchief22:
Holgorsen speaking of Moss and Rivers... As if we didn't already know but high praise nonetheless.


Dana Holgorsen: "These two cats that we played against from Youngstown State were as good of pass rushers as I’ve seen."

Penguin Nation:
I'm not trying to prove a point but asking because I truly don't know. The consensus seems to be that our players tired out because WVU could sub out frequently and YSU couldn't, thus the meltdown starting late in Q2.  We could sub out, but with second team non or partial scholly players, right?  I've heard a fresh mediocre player is always better than a fatigued star player. The meltdown continued despite halftime in a climate controlled locker room, and then with the YSU offense on the field first consuming 2.5 minutes.  I would think that'd allow the D time to get a second wind.  Obviously, the WVU players played in identical conditions as YSU players, and no WVU players had cramps from what I recall.  All of this is with the back ground of prior second half meltdowns, like the NDSU game last year, where heat obviously wasn't an issue.

I totally buy that WVU made adjustments that we didn't.  Monty sucks.  But it sure seems like we may have issues with strength and conditioning, and players unable to perform for a full game.  Is that a legit gripe?

Compare WVU's first five drives versus the last seven.

FOOTBALLFEVER:
Good point Nation..Look, W.V. is good, but there know elite team currently in the top 20 or even close to it. I too question the conditioning of the team. We have changed strength and conditioning coaches and trainers as of late. It was hot at Northwestern, Illinois st. didn't have a problem. It was extremely hot at Iowa St, Northern Iowa didn't have a problem. The same could also be said for the other 5 FCS programs that have beat FBS opponents. The FCS team that lost to Georgia by 2 points this past weekend has the same amount of scholarships as we do or maybe even less..I don't like the depth issue excuse
