YSU Penguin Athletics > YSU Penguin Athletics
Guins vs. ILS In game thread
Penguin Nation:
I never had ISUr in my "win" column. I hoped for the best but expected a loss.
We play in the most bad azz FCS conference that is ranked above multiple FBS conferences. We are gonna lose games to these FCS giants. Losing to great teams doesn't bother me as much as seeing teams like Samford getting picked over an 8-4 MVFC team. That is outrageous. YSU would OWN the autobid in most other conferences.
Everything rides on next Saturday. A win = playoffs, a likely contract extension for the Wolf, and new hope for the program. A loss = no playoffs, reaffirmation that YSU FB is irrelevant, and new coaches. If the latter is the case, I hope JT guides the selection process.
Few games in YSU FB history matter this much.

Nation....here is where I disagree with everyone who looked at this game as an L before it ever started (I will agree, I didn't have YSU winning). YSU had their feet on the throat of ISUr and took it off. In no way will I disrespect the Redbirds, cause that's a damn good football team. But it's called a "program changing" win for a reason or how about stealing a win from a team that you shouldn't have beaten. Unfortunately, this coaching staff only has 2 in nearly 5 years. There are games that a team should lose (which this one could fall under), but then lose the game because you were outplayed by a better team (which they accomplished in the 2nd half).
That drive before the half....CRAP!!! With 3mins-plus on the clock and you choose to play-call for a field goal (that was no good) is just BS!!! And then to make matters worse, you start the 3rd quarter in a somehow, someway scenario of having to stop them from scoring a TD. And the Redbirds go right down the field. I'm sorry, that's unacceptable.
Saturday was another typical Penguin game. Play one half of football and take your chances. This program has proven over and over and over again that's not going to work.
And then, people will complain about only 1,000 people showing up next week. Give me a reason why the casual fan shows up to watch that? I have plenty of things to do on the weekend. Going to watch YSU play 30 minutes of football is just gut-wrenching and makes my heart hurt. With all that said, I'll be in front of my tablet next Saturday....cheering like a SOB!!!

The ISUr game reminded me of the other game we played in IL, where Lunt found himself in the second half (like Roberson did) and reeled off 21 points. I am more upset by the IL loss than the IL St loss. IDK why they fold in the second half. Like another poster asked, maybe they are passing a bowl around the locker room? Do the coaches play with each other's peckers at half time instead of making adjustments? idk..somethings not right.

I also am more upset with the Illinois Loss in the beginnng of the season also Penguin Nation..
IAA Fan:
I had ILS, WIU and Illinois in the win column ...maybe lose one of those three. I had SDSU and NDSU as losses ...but a hope to pick up one after I saw how poorly SDSU is playng and we fell to WIU. The QB for Illinois is much better than Roberson for ILS. Had he caught on in the first half, we would have lost by 50+.
