IAA Fan:
So let us see what people think will be in store for YSU next season.

guinpen:
Need a DC.

Whoever calls plays for the O, we need someone else.

Not sure if BB is the answer at qb.

Always can use more and better talent but that is the case for everyone.

More to come .........

Most room for improvement is on d.  Offense was really off the charts this year.  Many are confident in BB.  We will have to see if he is an accurate passer at college level.  If so we should be fine. The online should be fine if we continue to build. Rb and wr room should be fine with enough talent.
On d,  we will need a few good db's as we lose 2 and this year did not have depth.  I would also like to be stronger and more consistent on defensive line.  That will help the secondary.  We have a lot to build off of and some playoff experience.  Also this playoff run should help recruiting.

Wick250:
SDSU and Villanova were the only FCS teams that we could not compete with in 2023. Both programs were saturated with 5th and 6th year seniors and will look substantially different in 2024.

That extra Covid year should be in play for one more season, so I am not sure about this. But I think that MVFC playoff teams SDSU, South Dakota, North Dakota, and SIU will need new quarterbacks. So will UNI. We will not be the only team with quarterback uncertainty.

Since Brungard was used entirely as a specialist, none of us really know if he can run the offense. His lack of height is a definite liability, but his threat as a runner somewhat compensates for that. In the worse case scenario he has tremendous value as a wildcat quarterback.

And now for the elephant in the room. What caused our bad defense: players or coaches? (or both?) For those of you who are old enough, when did a Jon Heacock defense ever have linebackers trapped in the middle while opponents reached the perimeter with ridiculous ease? When did receivers get so open that the defensive backs were not even in the television screen? Retaining or dumping the dc is the decision that will define Phillips' tenure as YSU coach.

Cimo7:
Obviously Defense and O-Line needs a boost but we all know the QB is the biggest and most important ? right now. Brungard doesnt seem to be the answer, at least IMO. What about the two other frosh on the team. Max Blanc and Schondelmyer? I thought these two were more prolific recruits than Beau.

Hopefully we can bring a guy in from the portal that gives us another option.

I think we will be ok at WR. Tomzack, Fordham and Farthing seem like a solid returning trio. Does Charleston have another year?

I think even if King cant return we may have some guys who will step up. I think Cephus Harris, Willie Edmunds and Kayden Davis were pretty decent recruits in their class who have some potential.
