Despite being winless, the trees have played tough and been in every game. Expecting them to continue the fight with the penguins coming to town.
Penguins need to focus and not look ahead to SDSU.
Go 🐧

I agree 👍 💯 %

Prediction 34 - 17 YSU
-
I would gladly take 34-17. We have one of the more dynamic, balanced offenses in FCS. Unfortunately, we also have one of the worst defenses in FCS. Whenever your defense is poor, you are vulnerable no matter the opponent.
-
No defense means another tight game. Offense needs to strike 1st because they have no offense.

Prediction 34 - 17 YSU
It might be too optimistic for defense to only give up 17 points.
We didn’t do well against tall quarterbacks (the SIU 5’9”” QB couldn’t throw our DL while other 6’ 4” QBs killed our D).
How tall is the QB from Indiana State? Just asking….

Probably see the 6-2 freshman Owens he's the one who almost pulled off the W against UND..

Hate to say it but I expect a close game albeit a win.
Really need a big win to maybe impress some folks.
-
if the defense plays like they did against Souhern Illinois they will be fine

As stated before. Road games come down to special teams, turnovers and penalties. Limit the latter two and have solid special teams and this will be a win.
Go Guins
-
Defense will be the key. We play solid D then a win for sure. Cannot turn the ball over and limit big plays on special teams and the game is ours. We struggle at Indiana state recently so time to change that. I believe we will.

Link to the recording of the twitter space discussing the upcoming matchup. Ron Potesta and Steve Leslie joined to discuss this week as well as FCS bracketology.

Going to have to create our own excitement as I would suspect under 500 people at the game. Will be like playing in a hospital.
Go Guins!

Pete, you bring up an interesting point. That absolute lack of crowd makes playing at WIU hard as well.
When you think about it, it is kind of ironic though isn't it? There is a just right level for fan engagement of opposing teams when you play them at home.
Sold out home crowds who are smart and loud create a hostile environment. But away games with 50 people in the stands are likewise hard just because of the weird vibe. Gotta be focused and play tough either way. Go penguins!
Here's hoping for the first double digit road win since 2021.

Apparently Indiana State is hosting numerous high school bands for this game. They are also promoting $5 tickets. The place might not be empty which would actually be a very good thing for us.
-
Wow, so quiet.

Wow, so quiet.
Waiting to watch the game on ESPN+. Will see if our D shows up.
-
Good starting field position needs points on this drive
-
Ugh.
-
D continues to have problems with defending the pass. Giving up big plays again.
-
Well this is going to be a shootout
-
Defense sucks!
-
can we get a coach that knows how to teach tackling!
-
Offensive play calling really sucks
-
Less then 10 yards rushing 3 min to go in half
-
Wow! SD State is really going to have fun with us next week if continue to make the same stupid mistakes time and time again!.
-
D needs to keep us in this game
-
hope that our coaches make the best adjustments
-
Don't know if I have ever seen that before. Two offsides, on 4th and 10 to give a first down.
Now, three pass interferences, and two off sides, on this drive
-
3 DPIs and 2 offside penalties on this drive.... Defense is completely melting down.
-
While how many breaks are going to give them
-
We help isu moving down field with penalties. 2 defensive offsides on 4th and 10. Are you kidding me?
-
What the hell are we doing?
-
We just got the break…
-
Why in the world are you passing on third down there? Run the ball and let the clock run.
-
We just gave them 40 seconds...
-
Gave them 60 yards and still the D held!!!
-
A win is a win. First double digit road win in a few years.

agree
-
It was ugly,but, I will take it.
The good thing was that ISU neither has a good QB nor a good receiver to put pressure on our dbs.
-
Murray State scares me now for the final week. They have some decent receivers and can really sling the rock
-
Victory is a victory. Penalties killed us especially that last drive. We gave him 5 penalties. Next week could be a Long day. I hope the fans attend and scream. We need fans for the last home game period
-
Game seemed like we were not either into it or just over looked them. Game was much closer than expected. Needed a blowout but will take the win. I too am worried about Murray St on the road. Game may not mean much unless we take care of business next week. Interested to see how much we move up in the coaches poll cannot believe north Dakota is ranked in top 15 or 20 and they are no better than us. I noticed that this is 2nd straight game with a lack of run game. Seems like teams are crowding the box.
-
Indiana State has played close all year. Just can't seem to win one. This game seems like how most of their season has gone. That being said too many dropped passes and penalties in the 4th quarter. This gives us some things to work on for next week. Let's storm Stambaugh and support the guins. Go Guins. SDSU is very good but I believe we are also.
-
Loved how we controlled TOP in 2nd half despite dropped balls and penalties. Go Guins!
-
Our running game disappeared when our center went down. The redshirt freshman is doing an acceptable job but the line play is just not the same. It won't matter much next week but we need Parker back for Murray State.

We should be able to hang with SDSU for a while. Our problem will be the fact that we won't get any pressure on their QB and they will be able to pick us apart.
We will have trouble running the ball on them and they will get pressure in us in the passing game. Davidson will have to get rid of the ball quickly. Special tes will have to play really well a d we can't have any stupid penalties.
We match up better this year than we have in many years (physically). And we're still young. This team is ranked #1 for a reason. They look unstoppable. We need to try to keep it close as late as possible....that has to be the goal.
