Davis looked like a good match for this type of offense. Wide receivers passed their initial test, but we have to see them operate against the better teams in the league before we let them off the hook.
Nice pressure on the Duquesne quarterback who certainly is legit. And penguinpower, nice job by the new punter, your relative, I believe? Two punts: one to the 13 yard line and the other one to the 9. Can't ask for more.

Yes my relative. 1st cousin, although I am much older as the family had 13 kids on my father's side. Mark was the ring bearer in my wedding
The YO Show:
Good game by the penguins. Watched on my phone on espn 3 at work. Penguin power, which engineering program did you graduate from at YSU?
YSUGO:
Great night for football. Good to see students out supporting their school. How about that whistle! Defense showed it can get it done. Special teams it's all about the Kennedy. He can kick it. Team played with some emotion which I hadn't seen in awhile. Davis was ok. He is the typical run first QB but against the Dukes anybody would of looked good. He has improved but don't see him looking off receivers no different than Wells, but he can run. He has improved. But again the competition skews it. He won't last long if we run him to death. I agree with Penguinpower on that. Rivers is a beast. Liked the 3rd string RB.

You always hope to learn a lot about your team in the first game. But I didn't learn much last night. I saw a lot I already knew:
Rivers is a draft pick in waiting
D-line overall is good.
Linebackers solid.
Kicking game more than solid.
Ruiz is far better than Webb and should be starter (I'd use Webb in the slot like we did Stubbs, to get them both on the field, especially since we have a 3rd TB in Tevin)
OL is huge and far too big for teams like Duquesne
What I wanted to find out and didn't:
Can secondary hold up to big time passing attack. (Early evidence is questionable)
Can Davis actually town 1AA quality passes. (Had 3-4 really nice throws, but also stared down every receiver and was late getting rid of the ball a couple times. Works against inferior competition, but not MVFC)
Can receivers catch under pressure? (Had decent game, but also a couple drops on less than perfect but catchable balls. No results against pressure situations because we didn't have any pressure)
FOOTBALLFEVER:
Nice overall team win and Davis was solid in his first career start. Let's face it guys the N.E.C. can be just God awful at times. Our week 3 opponent R.M.U. was beat by Alderson Broaddus a division 2 team. I can't even get excited to listen to that game on the radio. I just think these games do very little to get you ready for conference play. I look for Duquesne to be know better then a .500 team this year. South Dakota our conference opener, played New Mexico good for a quarter before getting blowing out..Bring on the Mountaineers!!
