YSU vs Illinois

[Double ET]

Offense is a joke. THROW THE BALL

So much for our high power offense and terrible defense. If coaches do not have faith in our QB to throw the ball, get him out of there. We cannot win the game by just running the ball all day against a big 10 team. They are not Butler.

At least run some play action boots or some options to the outside.... Defense is hanging tough!

[Observer]

Running is their best option.  throw the ball with a young rattled qb, That first hit on the penalty ruined him, and throw a bunch of interceptions and have the game really get out of hand.  Or practice pounding the ball agains an NDSU type of line.  Chances are ysu doesnt keep the adrenaline up at the half, and IU, gets a comfortable lead.   Ill give them this, Illinois is a bad football team, but theyre still a big 10 football team, they are playing hard.

Kromah is getting through all half up front. very nice!

The defense is keeping us in the game fellas.....

Quack quack....

Illinois is really bad...

[ysufan0505]

Wow that penalty hurts..... Yikes.

[Double ET]

We need a break and we did not get it. I hope we open up the offense in the second half. Our D will not be able to play with this intensity and energy in the second half.

[ysufan0505]

If we had some semblance of a passing game this game would be 17-7..... C'mon boys!!

at least throw a few more times to the backs coming out of the backfield

[ysufan0505]

Is Illinois this bad or our defense this improved?

[ysufan0505]

Cejudo.... Wow

[Observer]

Illinois is that bad.  But you cant say YSU isnt playing hard.  although i see that both coaches had no intention of adjusting at halftime.

[Double ET]

Cejudo.... Wow

poor decision on his part. In a game like this, a mistake like this will doom us since we cannot score fast enough if we felt behind.
