Other teams in the playoffs do not look like they could be better than us. We need to just get in.

I watched some of the UNI game and I agree. We probably have top 10, maybe top 15 talent at worst. But you cant implode 3-4 Saturdays a year and expect to get in. we've seen how that works out for the past decade.
Anyway, we were better than both of those teams IMO.
YSUGO:
We don’t have top 10 let alone top 15 talent. Our best player on offense by far was McCaster. He might be a first team all conference. That’s it on offense. Defense was horrible none of those guys are first teamers maybe The senior LB and Savin Smith might get on the all conference. We lack Div 1 depth. Whenever the Bison or South Dakota have an injury the next guy up is almost as good. Between Coaching and takent we are what our record is a bottom tier team in the conference. Don’t forget how many games our kicker hurt us and we never recruited to replace him.

I disagree on the talent eval. I blame our game planning, preparation and in game adjustments for our failure this year as much as the talent. Our coordinators were in over their heads. They need to get much better, fast.
I cannot argue the shortcomings of our kicking game.
Most teams on our level lack D1 depth. Thats what you get with 63 scholarships.
Our roster is good enough to make the playoffs. Its not good enough to win the league. Our failure to develop a QB is particularly terrifying.
You think Lamar has more talent? If you have EPSN+ I would invite you to watch some of these teams that made the playoffs. Full scholarship teams only, we know there are a lot of pretenders out there.
YSUFANSINCE1990:
YSU lost to Butler! Top 10, are you delusional?
YSUGO:
Pelini promised that the depth would get addressed after Wolford. I have attended and watched and traveled to many games since 1990. We finished what third from the bottom in our conference. That isn’t just coaching. We had to bring a transfer QB in to start and none of the recruited guys even got any snaps I just dont see it. Sorry. This team was one of the weakest teams I witnessed in 28 years. The Butler game was our wake up call.
