That QB loss will not help us as much as we think, SIU has a big line

A rare 3-&-out. This is good.

This siu offense is running at about 1/4 speed right now. I hope we can take advantage as this is an experienced qb that will be much better as the game goes on

 I am impressed by how quickly SIU defense wraps up plays even when they give something up they shut it down very quickly. Also there are relentless on their pressure against VanGorder.  We could learn something from them

Salukis just not the same team offensively with their backup. Offensive play-calling by Crist is just horrific..opening drive 3 straight passes from the SIU 15 only to settle for a FG..Should be up by two touchdowns at half

This program is officially a clown show. How is Crist qualified to be a D-1 coordinator ?

Awful.   SIU worst defense in mvfc and we have 6 points.   1-10 this year.

Wins a win, but damn was that ugly..If Sam Struab played in this game we would have had a zero chance for victory. Thankfully the Salukis were there own worst enemy on defense. Happy for Kennedy to get the monkey off his back. The tough part of our schedule begins and last I checked the sycamores were playing the bunnies tougher then I expected

Played a good 4th qtr, did what they had to do to get a win. Turned out to be a nice evening for a game.

I was unable to attend the game yesterday, for medical reasons. I payed for ESPN+ and got Jim Campbell and a color man. Jim Cambell has never changed. This color guy needs to settle down and he can be a good commentator. I also always try to listen to Bob Hannon. It was as if the two sets of announcers were watching two different games. Campbell was treating it like the "laugher" that it was, while Hannon (and especially Muranski) were raving. I mean we only had 2 rushing 1st-downs in the entire first half. We did not even score a TD until 4:36 left in the game. It was clear that Campbell was shocked at our lack of performance, then to listen to WKBN (especially Muranski) you would think we just knocked off NDSU.

 Still YSU can do better than Campbell as a play-by-play man. I remember when WKBN brought in Jim Campbell to try and replace Don Gardner ...just a little too meek for the roll. Great sports knowledge though.

That was the worst game plan offensively I have ever witnessed. Do we have anyone else that can call the plays for now on?

Pelini's postgame comments were that the team is not focused and they are making too many mental mistakes.  Could it be the kids are playing scared because they know Pelini will go postal on them.

Bo, in his post game comments, almost rountinely critizied the players for missing assignments.
This might be true to the certain situations. I am not sure if it applied to all. We have to realize that the players from the other team also had their assignments. If our players could not reacti to the changes in the play by the team, it could be that our players were not as good.
As a result of their better play calling or superior execution, our players might not be able to perform their assignments. Therefore , IMO, our guys were  not as good or not being coached better. It was not just about our players missing assignments. They other guys were just better.

Bo has done nothing but criticize his players the entire year. Holds his coaching staff accountable for very little, never used to be that way

I am surprised that you are surprised by Hannon and Ed, they are being paid to announce the game and in a favorable light for YSU. Seem to recall the Rubber band man lost his job for not doing that.

I would like to ask this question that's been on my mind for a long time. Does anyone think the high amount of transfers and Juco players Bo has brought in over the years affected his first three recruiting classes coming out of high school and the last one under Wolf? Don't get me wrong here some were definitely a necessity and big time gets. However this can create tensions, adversity and unity problems over the course of time by original recruits who thought they were going to be the guy. Some Juco and transfer players all have a story to tell some for the good and some for the bad..IMHO I think Bo has gone to the well one to many times..and certain players are not happy about it

Don't know if it's lead to tension on the team, but if you're going to bring in a QB (the most important position on the team) for 1 year, then that guy better be a difference maker and a considerable upgrade from what you have.  MVG has been neither.  He's a decent player, and probably could have had a good career at the FCS level had he transferred sooner.

At least he looked for open receivers. All Mays did was putting his head down and ran. The ineffectiveness of MVG was partly due to the lousy playing calling and the inability of making half time adjustments by the OC.

We have 3 more QBs on the roster, I say we give one of them a shot.

I agree with you Kandrase, at this point we have nothing to lose. Bottom line is we are not efficient at that position especially in the redzone. We remain the lowest scoring team in the conference, yet boost a strong run game. I have yet to figure out the logic with bringing in VG with a year of eligibility left. The younger players in turn get know development and confidence is shaken. With the exception of Nathan.. Bo recruited the three others. Bo said he is looking at other QBs and it just depends on the game plan. Maybe there is a package that could work better with Cunningham, Craycraft, or the 6"7  kid down close..I just don't know

That may be, but if you're going to upset the apple cart with a QB with only 1 year left then he needs to be a major upgrade to what you already have.
