Hoping we play better today.
-
ISU is not good so if we can't beat them, we know how this team feels about Bo and the season.
-
The Sycamores only have 8 touchdowns in 6 conference games so our defense better get the job done. Guess they lost their starting Qb earlier in the year. Defensively they are sound, hopefully we can establish the run game today

The Youngstown State football team plays its final road game of the season on Saturday at Indiana State. Kickoff at Memorial Stadium is set for 1 p.m. The game is available on WBCB TV, ESPN+, WKBN 570 AM and iHeartRadio.
YSU (5-5, 1-5 in the MVFC) dropped a 56-21 decision at South Dakota last Saturday at the DakotaDome. For the second straight week the Penguins fell behind early and were forced to play catch up the entire game.
South Dakota roared out of the gate scoring on back-to-back possessions as Austin Simmons threw 13 and 15-yard touchdown passes. The Penguins trimmed the deficit to 14-7 when Joe Craycraft connected with Jermiah Braswell on a 53-yard scoring strike. South Dakota answered with a Simmons 10-yard scoring run and then a six-yard touchdown pass from Simmons to Brett Samson.
YSU crept within 28-14 at the 10:34 mark of the second quarter when Craycraft found Braswell on a nine-yard scoring toss. However, just before halftime, the Guins fumbled a punt at their two-yard line and that set up a score by Kai Henry to push the Coyotes lead to 35-14. In the third quarter, USD added a pair of scoring runs and the fourth both teams traded touchdown passes for the final margin.
Indiana State (3-7 and 1-5) dropped its fourth straight contest with a 17-9 defeat to UNI at the UNI-Dome last Saturday. For the Sycamores, kicker Jerry Nunez made field goals from 24, 28 and 41 yards in the contest. ISU led 3-0 before Will McElvain threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Suni Lane. After the Sycamores pulled within 7-6, UNI's Matthew Cook made a 22-yard field goal and Trevor Allen score on a 13-yard run to give the Panthers a 17-6 advantage. Nunez's third field goal made it 17-9 in the third quarter. ISU had three drives advance to UNI territory in the fourth, but two ended on turnovers. UNI ran just 20 offensive plays in the second half.
YSU leads the all-time series with the Sycamores by a 22-6 margin and is 11-2 in contests played in Terre Haute. The Penguins dominated the series through 2009, however, Indiana State has won five of the last nine meetings, including a 43-17 at YSU last season.

Great start by the defense
-
This team is so pathetic
-
I am amazed at the lack of emotion on the defense
-
Bad
-
I don't understand because they had a good week of practice.
-
Bo has to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Embarrassing
-
One silver lining, all the young guys played today played well. Freshman wr, lb and dt
-
Bo must go!!
-
That was definitely pass interference. I think we all learned what we an do with an O-line today.
-
Disgusting and embarrassing.
-
At the end of the day, who ever is in charge of these 18-23 years old please step forward.
-
When a coach loses control over a football team, he does not get it back. Not next week. Not next year. Never.
-
I saw that Craycraft was completed 11 out of 33 is that correct. Sad we used to beat The Sycamores like a drum. Now we are the bottom feeder. I am surprised about the silence from Strollo and JT. The media is totally worthless in Ytown.
-
It is pretty bad when a Freshman wide out playing in his first game is the player of the game.
-
Didn’t get to listen or watch the game. Thank God. So honest question, did we just play a bunch of underclassmen for experience, as in, forget about trying to win any more games so let’s get them reps?
-
So disappointing
-
Only a few changes with player personnel so players can retain their red-shirt status. The problem is not sure how many D-1 players are on this roster.
-
Just amazed how Indiana St. could finish 1-11 on 3rd down, put up 24 points on our D and miss 3 field goals in the process. They lined up in wildcat..we knew they were going to run and simply couldn't stop them
-
I am surprised that ISU had 11 3rd-down attempts. I bet they all came in the second half, as they moved up and down the field at will there for a while.
-
Disgusting and embarrassing.
I could add to you emotions, but I couldn't say it better.
