YSU at Missouri State
ValleyTalk:
YSU travels to Missouri State for a top 25 match-up Saturday in Springfield, MO. Missouri State recently renovated their stadium and it is beginning to rival Stambaugh Stadium imho. Note the pictures at the end of this post. In addition, their fans are pushing for a 2nd straight sell-out of 18,000, although they only have 13,000 sold right now per: http://missouristate.247sports.com/Board/59469/Contents/Game-5-24-MSU-vs-12-YSU-10414-Sellout-2-31365327?Page=4
If you get real bored, stroll to some of their other threads and see how a good chunk of their fan base wants to move up to the FBS. I have no idea what they have done in 20 years to even be considered for the FBS? They consistently average 10-11k fans per year, and their new stadium only gets them to around 18,000. I think some of their fans are just drinking the kool-aide right now.
Nonetheless, this is a very good challenge for YSU. Massey has MSU #3 in the FCS and 6 point favorites over YSU. The computers like the Bears a lot more than the humans, who have them in the 20s in the rankings.
This game reminds me a lot of last year's MVFC opener at Southern Illinois. MSU has a very good offense, but has a defense that I think we can exploit in areas. They are ranked 46th in the FCS in rush defense and 76th in pass defense. YSU is ranked 33rd in rush defense, but tied for 91st in pass defense. Needless to say, this may be a shoot-out.
Also, does anyone know if this game will be broadcast on area TV or are we going to be forced to buy the online video if we want to watch it? Last year all of our road games were broadcast live on WFMJ or WBCB!

Anyone have a web address for a Missouri state message board? All I get is a dead end, or basketball site. Thanks.
