Made too many mistakes down the stretch. Those things we can fix. We have more talent now than we did in the 90's unfortunately in our conference there is a ton of talent. Tressel could not even win the Gateway. It is hard to win on the road. That being said, we need to learn to do it. Also, did anyone think a few of the big calls that hurt us were the wrong call. The targeting that was reversed was textbook targeting. The facemask on offense I didn't see. The league / refs already sent us an apology for allowing Northern Iowa to win on 2 illegal shifts that caused us to jump offsides on critical downs.

WOW typical dumbassery on this board.. Last time I checked Tressel coached 4 years in the "Gateway" Won the national championship 97, National runner up 99 and got bounced in the 1st round in 2000. Who gives a sh** if you win a conference when you make the playoffs SMFH ! :o Heacock is the only coach to win the Gateway/MVFC crown and did it 2x's
YSU is a shell of itself, shame crap different year. The diehard fans that have followed YSU forever are even sick of this display of football.
Even the exciting roundball team sh** the bed when it counted last year LOL!!
Other than that GoooGuins and "leave no doubt"!

Check your facts. Ysu never won gateway but did win a championship under tressel while in gateway. Heacock did win Gateway (Mvfc) twice
Including a good run as fcs runners up in 2006. Similar run in 2016. Anytime we make playoffs we go deep. Why? Strength of mvfc! Realistically though that makes it harder to win regular season games. Go to the games, support the team.
Look at it another way. How many NFL players came out of Tressel era? 2 I can think of. Wilkins and Delgianis. Today we have 4 players we are following who played here in the last few years on active rosters and making a difference in the NFL. Rivers, McLaughlin, Ogletree and the lineman from last year. We also had Moss, Rader and the db rivers who went to NFL in the last few years. No question we are more talented than the 90's. It's fun to watch. Go guins.
IAA Fan:
There is nothing more important than winning the conference. If you are one of those "play-off only" fans; is there a better way to guarantee yourself a play-off spot? Also, home games? Wm the conference!!

No offense if you have a family member on the team jcrum, but the talent level now is nowhere near the talent level YSU had in the 90s. The YSU teams of the 90s were loaded with legit D1A/FBS level players. I don’t see very many on the current roster that could play at that level.

No connection to the team except being a fan since the late 80's. Talent level across fcs especially MVFC is higher than it was in the 90's. Many more NFL players coming from fcs. I feel our "mediocre" performance as some state has more to do with consistently playing a higher level of talent in Mvfc. I agree we should win conference but we can't get upset when we don't. To me the proof of the talent is the number of NFL players coming from ysu. It is much higher than it was in the 90's. I fell in love with the team in the 90's but was always surprised at lack of NFL success. I remember Leo Hawkins scored a TD for browns in a preseason game but then was cut.
