Agree 100% if we can just stay focused and win out there is no reason we can’t be a national championship team this year. We are a better team than last year, just had a few tough breaks so far.

I disagree we are a better team than last year. Good team, yes. But we are a notch below what we were last year.
--- End quote ---
I dunno, I think we’re playing just as well as we did in the playoffs last year. If a couple plays go differently we’re undefeated with a win over NDSU and an FCS team.

Hate to pick, but we lost to Pitt by 7 not 3 and the best team in FCS is clearly JMU. I think we can get better. I think we are good enough to make the playoffs and I think if you get healthy and get on a run, we could do damage in the playoffs. Right now we are a bit better than we were this time last year, but not better than we were during our playoff run.

If we can find a way to stretch the field and make teams respect our passing game. Then yes we can go far into the playoffs

You're right I did type that too quick, I know we lost by 7 to PITT, my bad.
I don't necessarily think JMU is clearly the best in FCS, at best I'd say they are arguably #1 both NDSU and USD have the same record as them and play a tougher SOS.
I guess we'll see how we play this week, I could be eating my words if we drop our 3rd game in a row this week.
YSUGO:
We have lost all the close games I think this year. Last year we won them. We still haven’t played all 4 quarters of a game well. Penguin power is correct we lack the big play ability on both sides of the ball. I really think we miss Webb on offense. The new kid is good but he is still Green and lacks the take it to the house like Webb did.? Our D needs to create more turnovers and our kicking game needs to improve. We should make the playoffs and if Wells come back that could be the keys to get to Frisco.
DavedS:
JMU is definitely one of the top teams in FCS but I wouldnt go as far as saying they are clearly the best--they might be though.Sagarin ranks NDSU as #43 and JMU as #66 which doesnt necessarily mean they are better---time will tell.
go guins:
I would only note the following: As several postes on this thread have pointed out, YSU is not better than last year's team, and NDSU and USD are also not clearly better than YSU. We could/should have one both those games. 7 games ago we faced JMU and they were CLEARLY the superior team. Until somebody proves different, JMU is the best team in FCS football. Regarding schedules, JMU has 4 ranked teams on theirs and I beleive Delaware was ranked when they played them. Certainly the MVFC is the best, but JMU isn't playing all Slippery Rocks either. I want to block out the championship game too, but if we look back, I recall that team was well coached, very well balanced, with talent all over the field. Beat them and you are the new #1, but 'ya gotta do it on the field.
