If this team stands any chance at making the playoffs they need to win 2 games in a row and prove they can win on the road. This is a vanilla team we are playing. We have to be disciplined on defense. Lull you to sleep on running and catching you off guard with long play action passes. Bread and butter. The one area that confounds me is our lack of tight end passes. The teams that have consistently beat us in this conference have had excellent tight ends. We never run our tight ends down the middle of the field to occupy safety’s. I think it’s an area that defenses take advantage of if they know the tight end is not a threat. It’s an area that we need to do better at.
Go Guins!

Great point on the TE's. Last week we had a new offensive formation with 2 TE's up close in the red. We handed off to the TB, so we really had no use for the TE's, even as a decoy. Maybe we will start doing something with them. I noticed the NFL and Big-10 are going back to the two TE sets.

Need I say more. Hero sports TE rankings after 6 weeks:
Tight End
1. Bauer Sharp, Southeastern Louisiana — 90.6
2. Zach Heins, South Dakota State — 81.7
3. Mason Gilbert, Lafayette — 80.4
4. Tyler Neville, Harvard — 78.2
5. Joe Stoffel, North Dakota State — 77.8

Also, please check out the Youngstown Penguin Football Podcast on your favorite podcast streaming app They are doing a great job recapping all of our matchups each week. They had a podcast last night.
We are trying to get the program some additional coverage like some bigger programs are accustomed to.
Beat USD!

Watched the NDSU vs USD game yesterday. Seems to me that USD is much like Norhtern Iowa in that they have big O and D lines and a FBS transfer QB who is a big stong guy, but not much of a runner. Their running game is ok but not great. Both their O and D are slower than our guys. We should be ok if we don't just try to over power them on line play; we need to use our speed advantage much like last week against SIU. Need to pressure the QB; not sure our 4 man D line can pressure the passer. I feel good about our chances, but again I am just a fan. And we have won very few road games the last few years.
YsuPride:
Is the game on TV this Saturday? Any local stations carrying the game?
YSUGO:
We won against them the last 2 times right? Last one was a blow out? Should be a win nothing less
