Wick250:
Would anybody care to discuss YSU football here instead of the culture wars and the left-right political split? How about this.  Looking at the roster, there are only 8 offensive linemen, and two of those are redshirt freshmen. The incoming freshmen are not listed yet, but have we ever had this kind of lack of depth at such a critical position?

YSUFANSINCE1990:
  Wick you bring up a very good point.  O line looks very shaky.  Overall major concerns about this season, no proven QB as well.  I saw an early FCS Poll, and I apologize for not knowing which one, but they have North Dakota State, South Dakota State, UNI as their top three in the nation.   Phillps has so much work to do to get the YSU program competitive.

Yes! in 2019 if memory serves! (and it killed us)
I think we have 2 (maybe 3) QB's that are significantly more talented that we have had in many seasons, including, again, 2019.  Mays was a good kid and tough as nails, but he was always injured and we had -0- experience behind him.  Now we have Craycraft with several starts behind him, and a RS freshman with 4 games experience and a TON of ability, and the highest rated recruit in YSU history coming in in Crenshaw. 
This issue is keeping at least one of them in one piece and this OL seems REALLY questionable no matter how you look at it. Good grief, I see a the tackle from Girard starting at OT.

goodnews:
Only YSU would promote the OL coach for underachieving as a recruiter and everything OL related. Someone explain that to me?

I am not necessarily defending Peterson, but remember that he was here for only one year.  He was working with senior linemen that he did not recruit.  Was their poor performance due to his coaching or a basic lack of talent?  I cannot say.  For recruiting, Peterson is responsible only for the redshirt freshmen and the incoming freshmen.  It is not possible yet to evaluate them.
