It's definitely too early to start making major assumptions. I do remember Coach Faulkner saying the offense wasn't where it needed to be in one of those early press conferences.
The game that caused the biggest alarm this season was losing to Presbyterian by 25. And I don't think anyone expected that we really should have beat Syracuse. It's too bad the Westminster game didn't happen as that would have been a good chance to gel before hitting the road. Like someone did say this team has been to Chicago, Columbus, Syracuse, and 3 straight in Texas without a home game.
Wish YSU had a couple more days this week to put in a good scout and prep to play Western Michigan and hopefully the Bethany game will provide everyone and opportunity to feel better about themselves.
Really can't kill the defense. Outside of the Ohio State & Syracuse games, they are only giving up 63 ppg. And if you had said they would hold Monmouth to 60, Presby to 67 & SFA to 64, you'd have thought they would have at least won 2 if not all 3 games this week. And honestly I thought the defensive effort was good against Ohio St, who only had 37 at half, and Syracuse, who had 31 at the half! They only gave up 73 to Syracuse in regulation.
