I think if we had 2 or 3 more good O linemen we would be ok on offense. I think the qb and rb and wide outs etc are ok and our offense would be dramatically improved.
On defense if we had 2 or 3 more good D linemen, similarly the rest of the defense is ok. Our linebackers are not especially big or fast, but the rest of the back end is ok. They need to cover for so long they look like they are overmatched, but the opposing qb has way too much time to throw.
So we need 5 or 6 transfers from the portal and we would be dramatically improved.
I also agree that more funding for any sport at YSU is going to be difficult. We may be lucky to avoid cuts to athletics, with cuts occuring to academics. At the beginning of Covid there were significant cuts to athletics that are not mentioned much.
The off season will be interesting.
