Butler game
Wick250:
Last season Nania was knocked out of action twice, first as a holder on an extra point attempt at South Dakota then as a quarterback on a cheap shot by a NDSU player. Now he goes down against Duquesne. Not good. Not good at all. There is no way he should play until he is fully recovered, and certainly not at all against Butler. Let's see what Wells, and then Davis, can do. We will need them because it is highly likely that Nania, given his health track record, will not finish this season.

YSU can win using ANY QB on the roster against Butler. In fact every player not redshirting should get play time in this game.

1AA Fan, you have your playoff seasons and games confused.
YSU played Hampton at home in the 1st round of the 97 playoffs. They then played on the road at #1 seed Villanova in the 2nd round, where they overcame a 21-0 first half deficit to win. In round three, YSU won at Eastern Washington and then beat McNeese State 10-9 in the NC game.
In 1999, YSU was the #9 seed and played at Montana. YSU won by 3, as the Montana kicker missed a chip shot on the final play of the game. That same week, the #16 seed North Carolina A&T upset #1 Tennessee State, enabling YSU to host NC A&T in round 2. YSU won that game easily. At about the same time, FAMU upset Troy at Troy. I believe FAMU was a #13 seed, which meant another home game for YSU.
You are correct that FAMU was dominating the game. The key word here is WAS. They were winning by 11 points at the start of the 4th quarter had the ball and inside the YSU 5 yard line. For some reason, the coach had a brain cramp, and called for a fade route. Their was a miscfommunication between the receiver and QB, and the ball went right to Tim Johnson. Tim proceeded to return the ball to about the 35 or 40 of YSU. A few plays later, YSU scored a TD. On the next possession, FAMU was stopped 3 and out. YSU got the ball, and scored another TD. They then stopped FAMU one last time and won the game.
FAMU did NOT win the game, nor did they deserve to win the game. A game is 60 minutes long, not 50. YSU won the game in a fashion that was typical during the Tressel era. In the same way TOSU won so many games with Tress as coach. FAMU lost the game in the fashion that has become all too common for YSU since Tressel left. YSU now finds ways to lose games, in the same manner they once found ways to win games.
As for the Butler game, who really cares? Best thing about this game is YSU ought to get a chance to play plenty of people. Hopefully they do not sustain any serious injuries in this game. Butler has no reason to be within 30 points of YSU. I know some people on here swear by Massey Ratings. His computer has final score of 41-10.... Sagarin Ratings, YSU is 104th with a rating of 62.97 and Butler is 230th with a rank of 37.71. Add 3 points for being at home, and YSU is favored by 29 points according to Sagarin

Let Wells and Davis play these next 2 games. No need for Dante to rush the injury.

Great memory. I was at that game in 99. We lost the next game to Ga. Southern. I remember that most of the crowd left and went to the tailgate lot. Me and what seemed like a few hundred fans remained. Those that left eye not permitted back into the stadium. I thought there was an onside kick in there that we recovered. That was the best comeback win I have ever witnessed and it is the standard I use to compare comebacks.
