YSU vs WVU
FOOTBALLFEVER:
Both Minnesota and Northwestern better be ready because Indiana St. and Illinois St. will be. I'm most anxious to see what kind on game plan Shane Montgomery comes up with. After watching the Missouri game I think they will be tough to run on. This is a type of game where we need to get our TE's involved and throw down field
The YO Show:
Damn, that is a large spread ??? :o
Alright my fellow penguin fans, this has to get you fired up. I predict a competitive and close game, nothing like any of the WVU fans (or even that spread). YSU has alot of upset potential in my opinion. Dana Holgorsen doesn't respect FCS schools. See

Also, on this board, some of the fans are weary about the game (most don't think we stand a chance though):

The YO Show:
Power, you are right, we should try to get along with their fans. They aren't that far away from us. Plus, fans from any school can be rowdy.
FOOTBALLFEVER:
Yo, Holgorsen his staff and players are fully aware of the challenge that await them on Saturday. The fans not so much. Still it is never easy for a coaching staff to get their players up for playing a FCS opponent and the risk of losing and what it could do to a program is just not worth it
YSUGO:
I would love to see a win but we have too many questions that need to be answered. Will our WR's play the game of there life. We now this is not a strength right now. Lots of unproven talent. We need a good showing from our TE's. Don't see an Adams there. Davis will have to hit 70% of his throws to give us a chance. How will he react playing in front of 60k and he can't just tuck it and run every play. Ruiz needs 20+ carries, Webb needs to fill Stubbs role. The wild card is Monty will we go up tempo to neutralize their athletes. Our punter has 2 career punts don't see that sneaking past WV. Will we keep WV from scoring on special teams? We tend to give one of those up in these type of games. Missouri took the deep ball away and defenses against against Wv's screen game. Wv countered with a short to intermediate adjustment which we have been not able to defend that stuff. They had almost 200 yds from there Rb's. If we were a Tressel built tried and tested team . I saw we have a better shot.. Davis hasn't done enough for me to see us pulling out a surprise. He is no Hess, zetts or even Ryan. I hope he proves me wrong. Defense wins championships maybe our D will provide us the spark we need. I just want us to get better. Davis needs to get his reps and get better. It's all about the conference and beating WV means Squanto if we don't do well in conference play. The Pitt game was a wasted win after what happened the rest of season.
