Shannon does not look good.  Too much run 1st with him.

The Springfield local kid (#11) looked good. There were some really hard hits on the field. Shannon didn’t seem to have abilities to find any open receivers. He reminded me of Crenshaw, put his head down and ran.
Beau had several passes knocked down at the LOS. He either telegraphed his passes or being too short, or both.
Some good runs by the backs. King only played one series, I believe.
It was difficult to judge the passing game because of the strong wind.
I thought Shannon was the least effective among all 4 QBs.
Other comments?

Can someone list the defenders that went to the portal and what school they're at ?   Looks like the defense was decimated with guys going elsewhere.

The links to the Tribune/Vindy article that I posted on this subject matter on 4/10 listed some defensive players we had lost to either graduation or portal.

From today’s Tribune/Vindy focusing on the offensive side of the team.

Basketball is new #1 sport at YSU.   WIN AND YOU GET RESPECT.

Just to be fair, football made the playoff and basketball didn’t. I do understand they are not at the same level. Out of curiosity, which program had a higher NET national ranking.

LOL!! Round ball is a clown sport at YSU.

FCS is just bad anymore..

BOWLING is the new jam in elGUINO land 

That must be only sport in YSU history which we made the national final 4 of NCAA championship.

I'm glad it appears to be a seamless transition and Coach Faulkner will carry on with Coach Calhoun had established.  It's good to hear that apparently everyone else is staying...wish we could have retained Lovelace.

I did think the press conference though was pretty lackluster...just 10 mins including questions.  Can't believe there weren't more questions from the media.  And nothing from Strollo.

Apparently, they emphasized several times during the press conference that they want one to one meeting after the comments by the coach.
I could tell the coach is not as a dynamic speaker as Calhoun.  I guess that is a difference in their personality. It really doesn’t matter as long as he gets the job done.
BTW, who was the guy introducing Faulkner, he never introduced himself. I was surprised that AD didn’t personally introduced him.

From today’s Tribune/Vindy on the coach’s hiring. Lots of information on his contract that was not shown on his press conference (YouTube).

Good Luck with that!

Gone are our starting QB & #1 receiver…..we don’t even know who will be our QB yet.
I assume Tribune/Vindy will print another featured story on offense next couple of days. At least, king gets this year as our running back.

I plan on attending but would like to know the price of admission and parking... no information on the game.  Come on athletic department keep us informed.  Wasn't last year free?

Yes, I went to last year’s spring game also. It was free. I can’t remember if parking was free also.
It was just odd to me that the team has been practicing since mid March and they have not had any news release on the program, let alone the spring game.
Who is doing the PR for the team or the football program anyway? It seems like there are very little interests generated for this team.
This is supposed to be a football town and yet, even on this website, most of the discussions were still focused on the basketball programs. Really strange….
