They have 4 players suspended for this game. The final should be worse than Robert Morris was. This team stinks and we should roll even without Hunter. Need to keep building depth behind the starters. Savon should be back full time now and Bo said DJ Thomas is probably out for the whole year and will redshirt because of a blood clot issue.

terrible news about DJ, hope he returns to good health.

Game should be 50-0.

Game should be 50-0.
At least. Depends how soon we go the the bench and what weaknesses we work on, but that sounds about right. Wonder when the last time we had back to back shutouts? 1AA?
-
How about we assume it is 0-0 for now

assume? I thought is was actually 0-0 now?
I get a kick out of fans talking about "staying in the moment," "focus on one play at a time, one game at a time," etc. We are fans, we sit in the stands, and it doesn't make a bit of difference in what we think, say, or speculate about. That only matters for the players and their coaches. Tito and the Indians need to focus on tonight's game, but I can say, "We get this one then Carrasco and Kluber will get us to 25 straight!" I can look ahead, it doesn't mean squat.

We should crush this high school team
-
Rise and shine folks it's game day!!
-
Did what we needed to do. Rest up and get ready for a big showdown in 2 weeks !
-
Your right chief tough slate ahead !! Score of interest in the valley South Dakota over #10 North Dakota today 45-7..and N.D. wanted to join the conference good luck with that☺
-
Missouri Valley looking tough again. South Dakota, SDSU, and NDSU looking like tough games. But also, WIU and Illinois State look good. Conference going to be a tough bloodbath as usual. Hoping we get at least two out of the three SDSU, South Dakota and NDSU slate. If we can do that and do well in the rest of the conference games playoffs again is likely.

The replay on the screen was a joke. Most of time, they played the rotating block Y.
When Mays made the TD run down the left side, it totally faked me out. I was hoping to see the replay.They never even showed it. They showed his face and number following by the rotating block Y. When the game resumed, they showed the game live.
They showed the live game while the live game is played. Yet, they would not show the replay of the critical touch down or good plays.
I wonder who was running the replay score board.
-
played a below average Pitt team and 2 cupcakes. now the season starts.
-
I thought Ricky Davis looked good. We may need him. Could be a movie plot in the making.
Of all the QB's I think he throws the best and runs the best. I know he let everyone down last year, but it wasn't because he couldn't throw or run.

Many of his throws were questionable last year. He also had trouble reading the defense and going to the secondary receivers when primary receiver was covered.
I like the guy. He wants to contribute to the success of the team. With a good group of receivers and running backs, Wells is a better fit. We need a better passer first, better runner next.
-
I agree, just talking the ability to run and throw, not when and where to throw or run. I hope things work out for all the QB's. If we get to it, I am hoping Ricky can be the total package if called on. Nice person.
-
We have to keep things in perspective. CCSU had an awful defense, perhaps tied with Valpo for the worse defensive team ever to appear in Stambaugh stadium (and nonscholarship Valpo at least had an excuse.) That being said, the depth on our team is obvious, and all three quarterbacks have at least some experience. By manipulating personnel, including our quarterbacks, we have the weapons to attack opposing defenses were they are vulnerable. Big change from last season when we could hardly make a first down in October.
-
CCSU is what it is, we did what we had to do and we won. a week off to get ready for league.
-
I know we've been down this path before, but at the start of the 4th quarter I asked the 8 folks I attend the games with "Would you rather play teams like this at home, or play Kent or Akron at their place?", and they all said they would rather drive to Kent or Akron. I know it's a great opportunity to get everyone in the game, but I don't find these type of games very entertaining.
-
Would love to play Akron,Kent,Ohio,BG rather than Bobby Morris or CCSU. I'd do a 2 for 1 with us getting one year to their two at their place. I accept the fact that they're FBS and we're FCS. Additionally, YSU could get more exposure if these games are on ESPN, on a Thursday night.
-
I agree ucfpengbuck and ysuguins4 I would rather play MAC schools. This has been discussed before. But ultimately, I can say I now know Akron has a moratorium on playing YSU. I'm guessing Kent would as well. We would have to play different MAC schools if we did.
-
Saturday was particularly bad. This team was VERY shorthanded with suspensions and injury. Very sad for their kids. Don't know about our players, but Ricky Davis was having a ball, that's for sure.
Playing the MAC schools sounds good to fans, but you play 2 a year, on average, lose at least 1. Now you play nationally ranked 1AA powers #2 #4 #12 and #22 and lose 2 of those. Now we are best case you are 8-3 Now you can't slip up even once against a team like say UNI in the UniDome. And who's to say you win even one against NDSU, SD, and SDSU? Then if you lose even one more and 7-4 and you're out of the playoffs.
We are better off waiting for Akron and Kent and Buffalo to go broke trying to stay Div 1A, and want to drop back and form a new Great Lakes Conference with those 4 teams as a core.

I believe this discussion has come up a few years back. It was suggested that the big donors wanted an extra home game.
Since FBS teams would not come to play at FCS schools, we had to schedule D2 or lower ranked FCS schools (CCSU, RMU, Duquense, Dayton, Butler....).
I don't know if we could ever get a home/home series with the MAC teams or any FBS teams.
-
No mac team will play us, because they know their chances of losing the game are high.

Trust me, it isn't about FCS FBS or 1AA and 1A it's about MONEY. You offer OSU enough money (we absolutely couldn't do it) but if you did they'd play in the Ice Castle!

FBS really lacks meaning today. More accurate are the P5 and G5 designations. Weak G5 conference claims to superiority over top level FCS conferences dissolve quickly. For example, NDSU (#48 in current Sagarin) is rated higher than any MAC program. YSU at #82 is fourth in FCS and trails only Toledo, Western Michigan, and Northern Illinois from the MAC. The juggernauts at Akron and at Kent are #142 and #168, respectively. I long for the day when the P5 programs officially bolt and leave the G5 pretenders exposed for the frauds that they truly are.

What are the non-conference schedules in 2018 and 2019? Any updates or possibilities other then WVU next year?

Yes.
I remember reading on the Sargarin rating last year after our national champion game, YSU was rank pretty high. I think we were ranked above most of the MAC team, 1 BIG team and some Big East teams. I assume those rankings could still be found using Google.

At this point with the status all three programs as it is, they would be wise to not play us. Nothing to gain and everything to lose. A matter of time until they drop, problem for them is to figure out how to drop down gracefully.

Wick, your right on the money with these comments.
You have FCS because the play for a championship and FBS who now also plays for a championship. We need a new level between the P5 conferences and the limited scolarship teams like Dayton etc.

never ever happen. now a game in Cleveland maybe, but even imagining that may need more stretching that the circumference of the earth can offer.

All about the money that's why the loges are being added their is a huge waiting list for them at about 20k a crack. That's why buts in the seat don't really matter except for amotosphere!

Is $20k per game or for all the home games in the season?
