Duquesne game
« on: September 08, 2024, 08:36:31 PM »
We beat them in playoffs last year. They are much better than Valparaiso for sure.  So expect a tough game. They come in 0-2 but they played two FBS TEAMS.  I expect they will try to hit us in the mouth in the beginning.  There offense is not that good through 1st two games though.  Thoughts?

Toledo, Boston College, and YSU on consecutive weeks. Playing three road games against anybody is very difficult. You have to wonder how much they might have left after the two beat-downs.

YSUpride, I am hoping to see YSU defense look fundamentally sound and shut down Duquense offense this week... given what happened last week I would not be surprised if Duquense manages to score a bit on us, but I hope they don't do it with the efficiency that Valpo did in Q2. I would prefer a game that is not in doubt by halftime so that our backups can get some time in.

Duquesne should be a much better team than Valpo (these guys are playoff caliber team in their conference).
I would be surprised if they let BB running all over the field. They will find a way to force him make some throws that are longer than 20 yards.
I don’t know much about their QB. Nevertheless, if our D line can’t put pressure on the QB, our inexperienced secondary will be exposed as in Q2 of the Valpo game.
I was at last year’s playoff game. Mitch D. Made some good throws to put them away early.
BB’s lack of height is a concern since he had 3 knock down at the LOS in the last game.
This game will be much more competitive than last year, imo

We need to see a complete 4 quarters this week. The second half of Nova and Valpo have been encouraging, but thus far the 2nd quarter in particular we have looked rough. Beautiful weather and no Ohio State. Hoping for a nice crowd and a big win!

Should be a bigger crowd.  Say 10k?

Hosting a play-off team that is regional, great weather at least for the fans, no excuse for not having a good crowd.

Defense was not good. Dukes didn’t score more points because our offense kept them off the field. Our ball possession time was almost 3 to 1 comparing to them.

This team is so unprepared and undisciplined. Unbelievable!
We can’t catchup without a passing game.
