Ricky Davis anybody? But hey, let's keep trying to run 5-8, 170 pound Jody Webb up the middle lol. Laughable Montgomery, laughable.

Yeah... this is horrific.  I'm usually more on the optimistic side, but wow.  I don't care if the conditions are bad... you're a Division 1 college athlete; catch the ball. This is a boring brand of football... I have always stood in the middle with the whole Montgomery conversation but man... someone has to be responsible for this complete lack of passionate play on offense.  There are so many "football" things I could say that are wrong but I'm sensing a heart issue above anything else.  Hopefully, somebody decides to come out and play the 3rd and 4th quarters...

Totally correct.  We lack a feature back who can grind it out when we come out like this.  I get that you cant run stretch plays with this guy all day but how can you justify the repeated runs up the middle with a guy who weighs less than most players on a high school field.  I love Webb, but what the heck?

Heard not one coach said a word to montgomery tonight, after last weeks locker room news, it doesnt look good for him to make it to the end of the season, sounds like he's not liked by one single guy on the team.

First of all ... we cannot pat Bo on the back for the properly-executed plays on offense last night (the few that there were). AKA ..the TD toss. Coach Shane calls them all ...good or bad. Players execute them ...properly or not.

If the coaches were truly not talking to coach M after the game, then we have a "much bigger fish to fry" ...because we hired the wrong head coach. I certainly hope that coach Bo is not that childish. We all know how many points that a Montgomery offense is capable of producing. So the rest of the staff needs to be behind coach M to help with a resolution to our issues and believe me ...they are not all on offense.

Unfortunately, I think the recruiting (especially depth up front on O) is more than suspect; has been for a few years now. It could be a couple of years before we see a proper resolution and believe me, I am happy that they kept coach Carm but he has not proven his muster yet in 2015.

We ran the ball inside and out last night, while blocked RMU players got up off the ground and tackled our running backs. We need to put our opponents down and keep them there. Simple HS football.

RMU simply shifted their d-lines left and right and we had no answers for it. Same thing happened against Pitt. Simple HS football once again.

Also, why is it that every offense in which the QB claps his hands for an audible gives us hissy fits?! Attention defensive coaches, please instruct your standing defensive players to simply clap their hands. Then you will easily see why most offenses have stopped their QBs from doing this...because they will be called a dozen times a half for illegal motion. Also, we (as fans) used to be smarter than we are now. When you see a QB clapping, you should be clapping like crazy to draw their offense off!! YSU fans used to be called the smartest fans in the division ...opposing coaches hated us. Let's get back to that!!

Finally, for the weather conditions we had last night ...great crowd! Yes I am sick this morning, but I stayed for it all.

First of all, Shane does NOT call them all, if you're going to tell a lie dont make it such a blatent one. Bo has some say in the play calling on both sides.

If the coaches were truly not talking to coach M after the game, then we have a "much bigger fish to fry" ...because we hired the wrong head coach.

Yup, that fish to fry is called firing Montgomery, because he is the wrong coach we hired. We also all know he has yet to lead YSU to a quality win in his coaching career. who cares what his team does vs the RMUs of the world?oh wait he doesn't do very well vs them either, whooops. yes they are all on offense.

Clapping their hands is a penalty 100% of the time, its simulating the snap count if its a QB who uses it in his cadance, again, please if you're going to show us how little you know, dont make it so blatent


Finally, for the weather conditions we had last night ...great crowd! Yes I am sick this morning, but I stayed for it all.

Its not a good sign when not a single coach wants anything to do with Montgomery, and guy isn't going to be on the team by the end of the year is my best guess.

I also stayed through the whole game in the cheap seats. I could not believe my wife did not complain. I know how much she dislikes football.
RMU practically ran one play last night ... Handed the ball to the RB with various blocking schemes and we could not stop him. Why did our safeties stay so far back to guard against a passing game?

 I do like our corners played up to the receivers instead of backing off 10 yards like last year.
That was a tough call in OT to go for TD in 4th down. I would have kicked a short FG and stop them (hopefully, they might miss a longer FG). If they made it, we got the ball last in the next possession. This is why I am not coaching for a living.

If Monty is on the Hotseat.  Why keep him any longer?  I think this is BS.  We need TEAM! Not Dividers in the locker room.  This has been a problem through the Wolford years and needs to be stopped.  Whoever is soreading this garbage needs to be rid of as well.

My best guess is that after the miss and one blocked the risk factor was too high knowing we still had to go on defense. 
I don't know how to much stock to hold in the Monty rumor mill but dissention in the ranks doesn't do anything but disrupt.  Not sure it is wise to change horses mid-stream even if your horse can't swim.

93 is spreading rumors
Title: Re: In Game Embarassment Thread
Post by: IAA Fan on September 13, 2015, 01:28:00 PM
93 you just talk. First of all, I (as non-down player) can clap my hands and yell "go get em guys" any time I want up to the first QB clap. After that, the NCAA ruled that a defensive player off the line is able to clap for adjustments. Heck it was Dantonio and Pelini that started this "clapgate". A fan can (and should) clap continuously when they see a clapping QB. I might also add that it is the more the motion of the hands, that the center sees in order to snap the ball.

Secondly, coach P was not forced to keep coach M ...so again, if Pelini is acting like a child (which I do not believe he is) then he was a bad hire as head coach. Only time will tell if that is the case. As I said, Monty is a system guy, so if you do not like his system, I can understand ...just not agree; as I like his system. There are things that I would do differently, especially in my "big packages", but I am not the OC for YSU.

BTW: coach M has not led us to any win ...he is not a head coach. He has assisted in ever win and loss we have had over the past 5+ seasons ...including last year's win against Pitt. His offenses have twice scored over 40-points against NDSU in losing efforts & one of the 3 times they did not was a YSU win. This is the kind of person you ask for advice  ...not ignore like a character on "Monster High" or "Grease"

There have been no media reports whatsoever about dissent in the coaching ranks or about other coaches not associating with Montgomery.  One poster started these rumors and some of you just assume that they are true.  Statements presented as fact must be documented with evidence or they are worth nothing.

93 has proven to be a troll looking to start trouble. He clearly has animosity toward Montgomery, for whatever the reason, and is trying to stir the pot up with baseless accusations. Why anyone on this board believes anything he has to stay leaves me scratching my head.

I've said it once and I will say it again, too many posts are emotionally driven on here. Sure we looked awful yesterday people, especially on offense, but we are 2 games into the damn season. We now have some quality evidence that Montgomery's offense struggles immensely in crappy weather conditions: SDSU and WIU (2 years ago) and RMU (yesterday). All hope is not lost.

Look I was as frustrated as everyone yesterday about the game. It was painstakingly ugly but sometimes you need to find a way to win. In the last couple seasons, we always griped about the inability to win a close game sans South Dakota State a season ago. I'm not saying we're really good or even good but we're not deplorable. A couple plays early on gave RMU momentum and they started getting confidence. We know how that is for an underdog, we were in that position a week ago. Saturday is another chance to get better and to go 2-1. If any of you forgot, Tressel's 99 team only beat Indiana (Pa.) 13-7 in 72 degrees and clear skies. Now I'm not saying we're going to go 12-3 and make the championship but let's relax and TRUST THE PROCESS.

I still remember that game. My wife got me the tickets on the East stand (by mistakes). I was sitting between the IUP fans in my YSU gear. I took in enough abuses to last me a life time. If I remember correctly, we started the freshman QB.

1990 - Year we went undefeated in regular season - We beat D2 Edinboro 31-27 in week 2 that season. Per the YSUSports.com article, "In 1990, YSU needed a touchdown with 72 seconds left to pull out the victory."

I think we all should. Looking at the Akron box score  against Pitt the Zips only had 4 completions and 63 yards passing to go with 47 yards rushing for a total of 110 yard..I don't care how bad the zips might be . Their still a FBS school and beat Pitt a year ago. Conditions were less then favorable for passing on Saturday. I just felt more underneath routes and swing passes would've been open all night against R.M. and there's a much higher percentage of success in those conditions. We our not getting separation like we need to downfield for whatever reason. We need to get it figured out

I understand the fans are frustrated and we all want to win now but we have to trust the process. We all knew there were holes on this roster and Pelini can only do so much with one recruiting season. I will take struggling to win games in September if it means come October/November were fresh and getting into a rhythm. The weather is supposed to be better Saturday for SFU, the fans need to do their part and get down to Stambaugh.

Because someone on this blog says no other coach talked to Monty after the game doesn't make it so.  Now all the sudden there is dissension in the locker room?  Because some blogger says it’s so? 
We played really solid last week and lost, poorly this week and won.  If there are “no moral victories” in a loss, then there are no “moral losses” in a victory.  These are kids, kids with human coaches.  Wells played poorly, but made the big plays at the most critical times.  The receivers dropped a ton of passes they should have caught, but caught the most important one and the critical time.  This is my team, and I have supported them LONG before JT showed up to coach, much less be the Pres!  I’ve supported them through thick and thin, and if we are going to beat them into oblivion for not winning by enough, then I think I need some time away from you guys.
Looking forward to the rest of the season.

I always support this team, for better for worst. It started when I watched my first game in my Freshman year @ YSU in 1966 at Rayen Stadium.
I remembered the good time when we beated Villanova on the playoff game with Wilkens nailimg the FG after Goode's  4th down catch.
I also remembered the bad time when we lost to Cincinnati at home in the last play. Cincy was stopped at the goal line with time running out and no timeout. But Pat Naduzzi was called for delay of game by sitting on their player (at least according to the ref). The Ref stopped the clock and Cicny scored on the last play to win the game.
I think the players were having trouble throwing and catching the ball in the rain last Saturday. This could be the result of having good weather in August and early September. Going forward, they might have to start practicing during the rain and snow (it's coming).
Go Penguins.

I always support this team, for better for worst. It started when I watched my first game in my Freshman year @ YSU in 1966 at Rayen Stadium.

 I watched my first game as a freshman in the fall of 1967!  Our first quarter as YSU, (I believe you started on semesters as YU!)  Wish there was something nice to say about Rayen Stadium, oh wait, the seats were all close to the field!!  No nosebleed section at old Rayen Stadium! 
Did you go to the Jaws vs Staubach game at Rayen?

It is good to talk to another old timer. Yes, it was still the semester system. I believe we switched to Quarter system in either 67 or 68 when we became a State University.
I saw the Staubach game in the Rayen Stadium. However, i think the QB was Denny Kumbara (spelling) & not Jaws.. Both QBs had over 400+ yards passing that day.

I saw Jaws for the first time in Campbell (or Struther) Stadium. I remembered when Beede put him in as a running back, the other team screamed "option Pass". That play fooled no one...

Jaws replaced Denny in his Junior year. Go Penquins.

QB that game was indeed Denny Klembara--I believe years later he and Staubach had some type of contest against each other.I wasn't at the game but I remember that Ed O'Neill played in it.

Sadly, go guins many penguin fans dont feel the same way. I will be there on saturday, im just hoping the energy the fanbase has doesnt fizzle because of last saturday. I do foresee a drop off among the students though. Many left at halftime on saturday (as alot usually do to be fair), but I heard many complaining about the team.

Hopefully they will use the game as a wake-up call--they definitely have the talent to make the playoffs but every game is liable to be a battle.Pitt was the toughest team that YSU will face this year and RMU was likely the weakest.

If it does not rain on Saturday, Wells will do a better job throwing the ball. He had trouble throwing in the rain. I watched him last Saturday and he locked on to the one receiver the whole time during the play. He had difficulty in finding other receivers. The DB's and Safeties were watching his eyes. As a result, the receiver was having trouble getting separations from the defenders.

Receivers should have caught some of the balls. However, many of his passes were high. He could not throw the ball to Stubbs as if he were Andrew Williams. Additional experience might help to solve solve the problems.
I will be there this Saturday. Last Saturday, by half time, all the people around me have left.

YO, this is not directed at you, but DAMN, we WON the game.  You have to play your worst game of the year sometime, and maybe we got ours out of the way and still got a W.  People leaving at the half were VERY WET and VERY COLD too!  That has to be taken into consideration.

Oh I fully agree. Im just telling you the vibe I got from the students. Many were cold too I'm sure. That being said, I was in the student section. I heard multiple groups grumble "I thought we were supposed to be good this year. We almost beat pitt." Before promptly leaving near the end of the 2nd quarter. Penguin fans can be a fickle fanbase (not directed at anybody on the forum)

I guess you can call students fans, but to me the word fan comes from fanatic and you have to make something of a commitment for me to consider you a fanatic.  Buy apparel, YSU tents, flags, season tickets, tailgate passes, Penguin Club, come hours early to the lots, etc.  How many on the blog go home and watch the tape delay?  How many students do that?  I'll go with most and almost none.  Kids will be back if there is nothing better to do.  We'll all be there sun or rain.  We're the fans!

I thought attendance was amazing for the conditions ...just amazing. I walked in expecting to see a couple hundred standing in out of the rain. Well I did ...but there were many thousands already out in the seats. I am thinking that next week will be jammed.

  Didn't expect that crowd either. I took in the game with my grandson for his first penguin game and i was really impressed with the new lighting and video scoreboard . It  made for a nice game day atmosphere and that was in miserable conditions...can't wait till its nice. Looks like we might get lucky and the rain should hold off untill later in the evening
