1. Their QB appears to lead the FCS with 18 interceptions (1.63 int's per game)
2. Their QB is completing just 51% of his passes
Obviously the weakest part of our team is pass defense. Knowing this QB has not been very accurate this year, if I am the DC I would bring pressure early and often to try to rattle their QB. If we can force him out of a rhythm early, I'd like to think we will be in good shape come the middle of the third quarter.
Go YSU!

I just looked at the Duquesne athletic website and learned that this quarterback is still in the mix for the Walter Payton Award. I'm serious, I can't make this stuff up. Also, their coach is a finalist for the Eddie Robinson Award. I guess 7-4 and winning the NEC is a great accomplishment in the wacky world of FCS football.

They are similar to a mediocre to bad MVFC team. Massey Ratings, which I've found to be a pretty reasonable in terms of computer rankings has them at 65, which would put them at #10 in the MVFV
for comparison YSU is #13, Illinois State is #25, Murray State is #71
I don't think this will be a cake walk, but anything less than a W will be a huge underperformance

We better not look past them to the next game. Hope that we come out ready to play from the get go.
Double ET:
Let us not look pass Duquesne. If my memory serves me correctly, in the last game of the season, all Wofford had to do was to beat Missouri State, the bottom MVFC team, and we would be in the playoff. We were blown out by MSU.Let us don’t repeat the history.
I still cannot forget that night when I was sitting in the stadium watching us lost to Butlerin total disbelief.
Duquesne is way better than that Butler team.
Let us focu on the task at hand…...Go Penguins
YsuPride:
My prediction is YSU wins 37 to 28. Our defense blows chunks and we have a hard time stopping them
Any other predictions???
