no the offense left alot more points on the field then that. It should have been 28-0 at the half

At the end of the day, a win is a win. What this one showed YSU was that the defense has a very good chance of no longer being a liability. As a matter of fact, it can provide the lift that the offense WILL need throughout the season. They made big plays the entire game and that goal line stand (even though MSU eventually scored), was HUGE. This game actually took me back to the 90s (although I hate that we refer to that time frame so often). I believe like most of you, a strong defense can make this team special.
Offensively, it's a project. Everyone knew that it would be. I agree that it seems the 2nd half of games become even more predictable (as it did a lot during the previous 4 years). But, I'm not going to dog on Nania, I think he can be a great game manager, given the opportunity. Contrary to what some think, I believe he has a very strong arm. This coaching staff needs to really develop his strengths. I also agree with everyone on the TE position, why isn't the ball thrown their way more often.
Yesterday was a great measuring stick for YSU. Was MSU as good as advertised? My thinking today, probably not. But let's face it, they've beaten better competition than YSU has at this point. Hopefully this win will prove to be the stepping stone that Wolford and YSU needed.

We are now big Missouri State fans. We need this to be considered a quality win. We need to hope that Harris really is a proficient quarterback. Our defense made him look like just an athlete who was playing out of position. I was amazed at the pressure that we generated and our ability to prevent him from hurting us with his legs.
As others have mentioned, the big problem with Nania is his lack of height. That was most evident on that deflected interception inside the red zone. As 0505 just suggested, he is not really very fast. I expected at the least a runner who could harm a defense if he was flushed out of the pocket (like a Jeff Ryan.) We have not seen that....at all.

Ysufan0505 Just nailed it!! Hopefully coach Montgomery can get it figured out. If not Defenses in the conference will have a field day!!

Problem is, he cannot see over the O-Line, which makes him run around and scramble, which makes him miss wide open guys down the field. He's not particularly fast, and does not really make good decisions running the ball either... Idk, not saying we CAN'T win with Dante, but the offense needs some work. Montgomery needs to get his head out of his A** and stop running east and west so much. And how about hitting our big TE Adams??? Like to see him involved more. A win is a win. Love the defense right now! Go Guins.
