I thought this would be a good topic to discuss as the conference opener is fast approaching. Scores and analysis would be greatly appreciated so we can get a better understanding of our opponents strength's and weaknesses and how we match up against them
-
I understand and I'm sure I'll get "into it" in a week or so, but right now I want to decide on a QB and find a replacment for Kenny Durden. Without that ISU, NDSU, NIU, and whomever else is going to give us "what for!"

David Rivers is fine. Bishop is another story. Really struggled vs WVU.

Just a quick note on South Dakota. Chris Steveler the 6"2 220 lbs Qb transfer from Minnesota accounted for a total of 6 Td's in their overtime win. He is considered a dual-threat Qb and is a really good player and received player of the week honors in the MVFC

I remain optimistic. We proved last year that we could contain FCS passing games. We might see one or even two dangerous receivers in league play, but not four stretched across the field as we did on Saturday. If we must make one change in the secondary, there are plenty of candidates. Auditions begin this week.
Last season, big running plays killed us. It started at Pitt and continued with Illinois State, Indiana State, and SDSU (who did whatever they wanted to us.) So far, there are signs that has been addressed. We will find out in conference play.
To get back on the subject of Fever's thread, after two weeks the conference looks a bit down this season. NDSU with two close FCS wins at home and Northern Iowa's shocking home loss to Montana. Shocking only because of the way that Montana struggled against lowly St. Francis in the opener. Of course, Illinois State deserves much credit for beating Northwestern, but those Wildcats did manage to lose to a MAC team in their opener.
To me, SDSU looks like the strongest team. Really good receiver and a mobile dual-threat quarterback. And a good FCS defense. The points and yards that they allowed to TCU are as meaningless as our defensive performance at WVU.
-
And speaking of Ill St, how did they pull off a Big 10 game? Thought that was taboo as a couple of years ago.

Northwestern did not want to buyout the game & it was scheduled before the ban went into affect.

David Rivers is fine. Bishop is another story. Really struggled vs WVU.
David Rivers isn't replacing Durden, he is playing where he played last year. Bishop got beat deep 4 times in Morgantown! When we had 2 corners, we were #1 or #2 in the country in pass defense. With 1 CB we currently rank #95
Nothing else matters if you can't cover receivers. Now the WR at WVU was probably the best we'll see, but I didn't think we did that great against Duquesne. The secondary needs a big step forward before league play opens or its 5-7 again.
-
Not really sure what to think about our bye week being put in between RMU and South Dakota. It's like 3 weeks of basically no competition when you think of it. You have to keep the starters sharp and you also have to guard against injury. Never an easy thing for a staff. If we had a quality opponent this week i wouldn't be as concerned. S.D. is much better then last year and they play really good on the road they did beat NDSU in Fargo last year

They are doubt seconding guessing that buyout

"They are doubt seconding guessing that buyout"
puinpen, you got that right! (with the addition of a "no" before the doubt, at least. But I make so many typing errors I'm NOT being critical. As slow as my mind is, it's far faster than my fingers!)
-
SDSU looks really strong on paper so far. In the MVFC, they have the top 2 QBs in passing efficiency, receiver w/ most TDs, most kicking points, and gained 461 yards on TCU. We play SDSU on the road in their new stadium the week after UNI. IMO that is the team that wins the MVFC this year and will be our toughest opponent the rest of the season.
ISUr looks strong after beating Northwestern but at least we play them the week after they play NDSU. UNI and NDSU look vulnerable. I'm still optimistic for this season.
FWIW, Davis has the third highest passing efficiency in the MVFC, and is the 10th leading rusher (McCaster #8, Ruiz #9).

"In the MVFC, they have the top 2 QBs in passing efficiency"
C'mon man, the #1 guy is 3/4, I can't believe you would quote that as #1 is passing. I also can't believe even one tailback isn't 1/1 on an option pass, but whatever.
2 games in, stats don't mean a damn thing. Some schools played powder 5 schools like YSU and some have not. (granted SDSU played a P5 and won) Nothing matters until the conference starts. For me, until you beat NDSU they are #1 and I HATE playing NIU. We always seem to have trouble with them.
-
True, but if you look at the aggregate, not only one stat with a small sample size, SDSU is an offensive powerhouse. any team that can trade punches for a few rounds with TCU gets respect in my book.
-
UNI is not vulnerable, especially for us. NDSU is done. SDSU is, by far, the best team in the conference. ILS is good, but not as good as people think; there is your vulnerability. We will be upset by USD as well; we cannot perform well against them either. The key will be to go 7-4 (with a good rest of the year showing by what I fear is a poor WVU team, that will be contacting Bo at year end).
So if we lose to SDSU, UNI and USD. We have got to take out NDSU, ILS and hope WIU has some bad games.

I'm not downplaying SDSU's success against the Frogs, but 41 points is the LEAST they have given up, and they are usually an offensive jugernaugt, but not so much on defense.

1AA
I think you are being a little hasty with NDSU being "done". I think you are underrating Charleston Southern (pre suspensions) and Eastern Washington
-
1AA is on the loony pills, my word.

Experts predict 6 teams will make it to the post season this year from our conference i can only see 5 going. I think the majority of offenses in the Missouri will put a ton of points on the board and we need to be ready to score as well. SD, Western, Southern, and YSU will have the best shot at being one of the 5 teams. Not to count Indiana St out, but I feel this isn't their year. Missouri St. is off to a 2-0 Start and has brought in a high amount of transfers, but they are still unproven in conference play..The selection committee will take a hard look at the non-conference schedule this year and that advantage will go to our conference foes

It's going to be a long conference season if we lose at home to USD. Beating Weber State is impressive, but we have much stronger opponents after them. I agree that SDSU is a likely loss, but games at home, like UNI, need to be, and should be wins. NDSU is struggling this year, but no way are they "done" lol, but I do think we beat them in the Fargo dome. I don't think things are going to go well against Iowa..at all. If we have a second conference loss, it'll be @ ISUr, but I still believe SDSU will be our only conference loss.

Experts predict
"Experts predict" huh? Experts predict everything from the sky is falling to the earth is warming. An "Expert's prediction" and about $4.99 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks!
Math comes into play here. 10 teams, with 8 conference games. That's 40 games lost. 6 non-conference losses so far, and unlikely to go 10-0 this week. So let's say the conference has 50 combined losses.
I see a lot of parity in the league and so I see about 3 teams 7-5 and 3 more 5-7 That's 2 on the top, + 3 @ 7-5 for 5 in the playoffs. Math says for 6 there is just too many losses in the 5-7 group. A couple would go to 4-8. Based on logic, not "fan-talk," YSU is in the 5-7 group. You bet I hope for 7-5 and playoffs, but I go game by game and I can't get there!
-
I don't think I am underrating Charleston southern, they run a more traditional option offense and that is going to catch anyone off guard ...outside of the teams in the SoCon. Heck I fully expect the Carson Wentz's to beat Iowa, as Iowa is the most over-rated team in FBS. NDSU should lose no less than 4 conference games, so maybe they are not done ....yet. Pretty close.
It is the little things that tell me so:
- Against EWU ...9 defensive penalties and giving up just under 500-yards of offense (in regulation) tells me that the CW's struggled to contain EWU.
Mostly, they are done because I say they are done :)
-
1st off Go Guins we only play 11 games not 12. A 6-5 record will not get you in playing 2 N.E.C. Schools. A 6-5 record and playing Big Sky opponents and beating them will ☺
-

Finally, an honest man! I know you know they are far from "done" but we can hope for a win Nov. 5!

OK, you got me on the 11 vs. 12 but that increases the strength of my argument based on math, rather than weaken it.
You still have the same number of losses, just less total wins. More chance of a losing record, not less.
-
Nick DeLuca wasn't even supposed to play in their last game because of a severe shoulder seperation. He comes into the game and can't even lift his one arm. He intercepts the pass with his other arm and takes it to the house from 70 yards away. Mr. Deluca and NDSU will say when it is over..

We just Need to go 5-3 in conference play and the rest will take care of itself..Head to head wins over a conference opponent with the same record is never a gurantee for a spot in post season these days

I agree, "done" is the results of activity on the field, not off, and especially not due to comments on blogs! We probably should note the NSDU record is what.... 2-0 and last year at this point was what ...... 1-1 on their way to ANOTHER national title. Maybe their best team, but YSU, at least on D, isn't as good as last year either.

I agree. But get me to 5-3 in the conference. I see "trouble" with ISU, NIU, SDSU, NDSU, and I don't see SD, SIU, ISU and MSU as walkovers. Personally I see more opportunity to go 3-5 than 4-4 and I don't see 5-3 anywhere. With the obvious youth at WR, the OL issues, but mostly the "back to a Wolford quality secondary", show me where you get the 5 wins?
-
Your right Go Guins..Not going to be easy!!
-

Like playing in the 2014-2015 SEC (but NOT 2016). Maybe 2 or 3 of the best teams in the country left out of payoffs. Same with 2 or 3 MVFC teams left out but better than half the teams in!
-
It would've been nice to win the W.V. game. Illinois St over Northwestern and U.N.I. over Iowa St. really hurts us
-
I don't see NDSU as done. I see them taking every teams best shot, again, and finding ways to win games.
Kind of like when they beat us last year.
-
I still think it will be difficult for them to go into Iowa and win. Their defense is just not as strong as years past at least for now
-
Indiana St. 17 Illinois St. 7 @ The half
-
WIU 14 Northern Illinois 7 @ The half
-
Indiana St. and WIU both Win..This will make week 5 very interesting for us. Missouri St. just kicked off with Kansas St. not looking for a upset there, but with our conference you never know
-

I see a few very likely wins in that list. Not saying we couldn't still lose, but I think I see a 5-3 record there. SD, MSU are very likely wins. I think we could get a win over one or both of SDSU and ISU(r) even though those games are both away. I also think we could beat ISU(b) at home. SIU is looking good this year, but that game is at home. NDSU will be a challenge as always, and UNI is always a tough game for us, but it is at home so maybe we can?
The way I see it, I totally could see YSU going anywhere from 4-4 to 6-2 in conference. I think we are more likely (at the present time) to see YSU go for 5-3 or better to be honest.

What makes it hard to interpret the ooc results is the large amount of games that the MVFC played against the Big Sky. Statistics mean little because Big Sky teams tend to have prolific offenses but don't play much defense.
I watched much of the Illinois State-Indiana State contest on Saturday and was shocked to see how poorly both teams played defense. If our defense is as good as we expect, we should do just fine against conference foes that are challenged on that side of the ball.

IDK!! I just hope the "O" we seen so far is not what's to come for the MVFC! Already, top running QB has been out with a concussion :'(
-
I watched a good portion of the Indy st / Ill St. game as well. As mentioned their QB was out (with a concussion?) and they were running some wildcat offense with the WR as QB. This certainly changed their playbook and overall game structure. I'm not sure yet what we will see when we face them.
As for Indy state, they continue to be an improved team from the gateway years. Again they were helped by playing strong defense and I believe at times a shorter field.
Both are winnable games...but lets get through the 'yotes first.

"Both are winnable games...but lets get through the 'yotes first."
GOPenZ, truer words were never typed. One at a time. You see ISU come out and trounce Valpo (no big deal, I know) and then follow it up with a Big 10 win, and be looking good! Then they step on thier dicks twice in a row. Look ahead in the MVFC and you're going to get thumped.

Again, he was NOT hurt running the ball. WVU players ran past other YSU players to hit our QB during the interception that was called back. It's the only time you can legally hit a QB and they took advantage of it. Part of the game. fb

Even worse. Hurt last year in limited play and already concussed this year in a little over 5 qtrs. I really hate to see anybody hurt but #12 just don't seem to durable for all the running etc. he's expected to do fb

I don't know why you're saying these things but yes he dislocated his middle finger last year but missed no time and this year he played two quarters after getting a concussion. Seems to me he is very durable. If you want a QB that avoids contact let's go back to what we have had the last couple of years and listen to you b**** about him, or we can go with the JUCO transfer, Really? Or you can try to be fan and root for the team and let's see what happens. :o

That's the problem with this board! Point out a concern about what I believe will become an issue without disrespecting or name calling and get told to be a fan ::) Practice what you preach,, You and many others on here really showed #6 some love :o I hope you're right #12 is the guy to take YSU back to the big dance. I want nothing but success for the program. fb
-
I think what we're saying here Mayor is we just want Ricky or Trent to be a little bit smarter when they run the ball. I love their competitive nature, but both of them have taking unnecessary hits to this point while running. I can't imagine the coaches are telling them not to slide when there going to get hammered by multiple defenders. After watching Trents passing performance against Robert Morris I want Ricky to be the guy going forward in conference play since they are going to redshirt Wells even though the plan was for him to be the back-up
-
You're talking about Ricky being not durable but #6 has been a sitting duck back there in the pocket for the last 2 years. Ricky gives us the best chance to win. Simple. Deal with it. Injuries happen.

Looks like I'll be dealing with the same ole' sh** from the worst "O" coordinator in the history of football. Is Klasic (sp?) still available :o Also #12 was getting banged up pretty good from the worst "D" in the MVFC. Not to sound negative,, I just don't see him making it in tact :-X

Does anyone give Missouri St. a chance at home against NDSU.. The Bears have one of the top rushing defenses in all of FCS..As far as the playoffs are concerned we need to hope the Bison take care of business. The Bears just could be a 4-5 win team this year..At the same token we just need to win conference games and control our own destination

No. Will be interesting to see if SD can give UNI a game.
-
I think UNI has finally started to find their offense and that will be a difficult game for SD at home. This is a must win for us, No easy games left for us from here on out
-
MSU has more than a chance.
-
WIU 36 Indiana St 35...The refs TOTALLY screwed the Sycamores
-
SDSU 45 Southern 39..1,200 total yards in this game..Everyone's offense versus our defense..Defense wins championships!!
-
I'm glad the guins won ;D. And I am surprised that SD beat UNI. I was thinking of calling that upset earlier in the week, but thought long and hard and figured it was unlikely.
-
Well I had NDSU with 2 losses at this point. So much for that
-

We'll just caulk that up to you being a fan. We know you know plenty enough about FB to recognize how good NDSU really is. We NEED to win Saturday to help make the NDSU game less of a playoff impact.

Actually, their SDSU game is next week. I had NDSU losing to both SDSU & Iowa, so 2-losses after next week was my thought. I had hopes that MSU and EWU would upset them; but with the Bunnies terrible rushing and line this year ...that "ain't gonna happen".
Finishing touches were to be YSU, UNI and USD. However, USD still is a possibility, as do we also have a good chance to beat the Bison. UNI wins against the Buffalo-Bills if Stick becomes as mobile behind center as he is capable, we will see first-hand on Saturday. anyway, that would have only been 4-losses, with a possibility of 5. Even a 5-loss NDSU team makes the post-season, but they do not win the conference or national title. Right now, they would have to collapse for 3-losses. Which should keep them from the conference crown ...I am good with for now.

Just got back from vacation in Hilton Head SC. Lost a few days plus this whole week to Matthew. Listened to the game on iHeartRadio and play by play on YSU app by Presto Sports. Both did a great job, but the play by play update on the app was real time, and iHeart had a pretty big delay so I always knew what was going to happen when the radio call started. My concern about Ricky being a run first Q
We had no damage, but a TON of trees down, all over the island. We're not going back until November, as I would only be in the way at this point.
YSU running game needs a healthy Ruiz. Webb is a great change of pace guy, but we have no power. IAA do you know what's wrong with Martin?
Ricky is definitely a run first QB and he is going to get hurt playing the way he plays. Wish he would look off even once.
-
SD's QB was 8 of 12 for 182 through the air and 12 for 128 on the ground against UNI. Against the Guins he was 10 of 27 for 141 tossing and 14 for 14 running. Gives me confidence that YSU's D will shut down UNI's dual threat QB, and that Ricky will have a good game against UNI's D.

Nice report. Thanks for the update, and we are home too. Not sure how 2-3 UNI is ranked ahead of us, but we can fix that Saturday night. Don't need it Saturday, but what every happened with fireworks after 7 pm games?
-
No clue... I don't recall seeing fireworks after a home game for a while (with the exception of the few they shoot off at the end of games sometimes).

No, it's been several years, but I liked them when we did them. We are in the center of the fireworks industry with Phantom, and only play one night game........... Whatever.
Where is 1AA on this? He has every obscure statistic on everything YSU. I'd expect him to list the YSU record in games with and without fireworks!

I was on it already. The issue is the development of WATTS and the fact that they had to move the handicapped parking. They say that we have no room to do it. I suggested to Zambelli that they use one of fireworks trailers that I have seen in the road beside the Ice Castle. That was at a basketball game just last year. The issue that I see is still parking. That would spray dust and coal on the mixed faculty lot by the ticket entrance. I suspect that the change to Phantom and the fact that Zambelli has become a major player in the world stage has a lot to do with it.

Probably twice as far as the WATTS, but Ursuline has a practice field on the north side of its "campus." Lots of leverage in negotiating with them since their home FB games are at Stambaugh. I would think if you launch there its still close enough for a good show. The school's insured in case it burns down.

No clue... I don't recall seeing fireworks after a home game for a while (with the exception of the few they shoot off at the end of games sometimes).
No, it's been several years, but I liked them when we did them. We are in the center of the fireworks industry with Phantom, and only play one night game........... Whatever.
Where is 1AA on this? He has every obscure statistic on everything YSU. I'd expect him to list the YSU record in games with and without fireworks!
I was on it already. The issue is the development of WATTS and the fact that they had to move the handicapped parking. They say that we have no room to do it. I suggested to Zambelli that they use one of fireworks trailers that I have seen in the road beside the Ice Castle. That was at a basketball game just last year. The issue that I see is still parking. That would spray dust and coal on the mixed faculty lot by the ticket entrance. I suspect that the change to Phantom and the fact that Zambelli has become a major player in the world stage has a lot to do with it.
Please never again fireworks. I hate fireworks. I sit on the east side, I park on the east side of the stadium, the last time they shot off fireworks they did not allow us to go to our cars, police kept us in the little parking area right outside the stadium. Had to stand there until the fireworks were finished, I hate fireworks, by the time we got to the car we smelled like we had been at the Little Bighorn, car smelled like gun smoke . I hate fireworks.

I knew we could count on you to have the answers! I certainly recognize the change in space with the WATTS, and given a choice, WATTS or fireworks, it's definitely WATTS, but I think there has to be a way. The Indians are right downtown, with no open area to speak of and they have fireworks all the time.

Tell you what guys, I watch alot of football games over and over in this conference and by far YSU, NDS, and SDSU are the 3 best teams. SDSU is the most rounded of the 3. Their Qb, WR's, Rb's, and TE's are just incredible and their offensive line is very similar to our's, but not quite as good. They put up close to 600 yards yesterday in the Fargo Dome, but only managed 19 points. Give credit to the Bison Defense it could of been alot worse because they had 1st and goal 3 times and came away with zero points. SDSU defensively is very sound and they have 2 very good ends and a couple of down lineman that remind me of Savon Smith. One of the best offense's in the nation versus the best defense..I would give anything to be in Brookings for this game
