NCAA Playoffs Week 2: YSU at Villanova Saturday 12/2 at 12pm

(1/23) > >>

The YO Show:
Got the win today, now on to Villanova! Should be a tougher test than Duquesne and Villanova will be the favorite as the seeded team. But I like the fight in these penguins!

Let's go for the upset!

DoubleE:
Looking at their schedule the only impressive win was Delaware. They got smoked by ucf and Albany, the 2 best teams on their schedule. Everyone else is 6-5 at best

Wick250:
For fans like us the CAA is largely a mystery. That conference does not use ESPN+ but rather some backwater streaming outfit.

One thing for sure: the CAA forfeited their status as an elite FCS conference. Over the past five years or so they admitted nonentities like Elon, Campbell, North Carolina AT, Hampton, Monmouth, and Stony Brook. Then they lost James Madison. For even their stronger teams the quality of play, week in and week out, is decidedly inferior to the MVFC.

None of that means that Villanova is not an excellent team. They get the chance to prove that against us next Saturday and, if successful, against the monster in Brookings in two weeks.

InTheYo:
It is about a 5 hour drive to Villanova from Youngstown. Not too many driveable FCS games for us. I would certainly encourage as many of you as possible to make the trip across Pennsylvania next weekend for this one. Based on some old video footage, we had a great contingent of YSU fans make the trip there in 1997 when we upset them when they were the #1 seed. Go YSU!
