I agree with the last few posts. Great year. Only bad loss was SDSU however they have done that to everyone. Mitch had a great year. Probably the best QB play I have ever watched at ysu. Others close may have been Brungard or Wells. That being said he played his worst game of the season this week. He overthrew receivers at least 4 times. 2 ended up being picks. Without those we may have won. Either way I'm really looking forward to next year.

It will be interesting to see the moves in jour program over the off season. Who do we bring in from the Portal and recruiting? What assistant coaching changes do we make, etc. There are questions on most of the defense and some key offensive position namely qb, rb, and Oline. Either our current guys are in and develop further or we bring in new players. We will watch this off season, but the proof will be our first game at Villanova next August. I think DP deserves our support and I think he knows what is needed to further improve our program. And will do it the right way with good people.

With unlimited transferring, is getting someone from the portal even going to be a viable option for teams at this level going forward? I saw that JMUs QB is transferring to his 3rd team. Unlike years ago he can stay in FBS and not sit out. I don’t see the portal being a resource much for FCS teams in the future.

The portal can still be our friend, but we should concentrate on successful D2 talent rather than unhappy FBS players. YSU under Phillips placed a tight end with the Colts and a running back with the Broncos. Both transferred up from the D2 ranks.

You’re making yourselves look silly. You act like we never went 33-28 over 4 years, and 21-24 in 4 of 5 years, or lost to Butler with not just a D2 high school principal, BUT rather a POWER 5 coach. By your logic, we should have had 4-star recruits and back to back championships from 2014-2019 with said-type of coach. Except, we had ALL of that. And last I checked, BP doesn’t have an education degree nor did he ever coach at the D2/2 level.

Nice post.
I agree.
We should finish in the top 16 this year. Let's say we finish 16th. That puts us in the 88th percentile of all FCS teams. We weren't competitive a few years ago.
One last thing......I have a lot of respect for Bob Hannon's take with regard to FCS football. He's exceptionally knowledgeable. He not a casual fan by any means. If you listen to his broadcasts he hints to everyone the talent depth and future of YSU football under Phillips and most of it is positive.
Everyone here should have known that when we played teams like USD and SDSU (both of them are still playing in the final 8) we were unable to get pressure on their QB and as a result they had all day to throw and make our defense look incompetent. We are a couple of players away and another year of development away from fixing this issue. I didn't understand how people can think you flip a switch with a coach and you get the best team in the country that plays the way you remember in the 1990's. It's going to take time to build it right. And as I've said before, we've gotten better under Phillips every single year.
Good take.

Nobody "Makes Your Defense Look Incompetent". It is like a 100m run ... if the guy in the lane next to you is faster, all things being equal, he will win. Likewise if the team that you are playing is better ...they will win. We had a good runner stumble against us (SIU) and we think we are "the stuff". I mean, what else did we do this season?We had a handful of good players make good plays. The problem was that Villanova's entire team was better than ours. I said that I would give Phillips another year, with the COVID season and I will. Let's start another thread with what you see for 2024 and beyond.
