YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Local Football Recruiting!!!

« on: February 04, 2014, 06:58:08 PM »

I think part of the problem facing football in the valley is the same problem facing northern states in general: the type of player turned out just isn't as valued in college football anymore. The premium on speed is greater than it's ever been, and the rust belt is just not known for fast players. The loaded backfields that YSU won with in the 90s just aren't in vogue anymore.

I wouldn't be too terribly surprised to see him playing in the Ice Castle, just maybe not for us.

"Another option would be Minnesota-Mankato..."

I know it's his hometown and everything, but it's hard to imagine that he would drop a division when he could play right away in 1aa.

I think the kid just doesn't want to run the ball himself. I don't think he minds handing it off his fair share

Say what you will about Youngstown, but the city has character. If they were both from Toledo or something, you wouldn't call the show "Toledo boys".

Put up 17 on them too. Not many B1G teams managed that. Granted they weren't exactly playing with their backs against the wall, but a pretty good number all the same.

Wow. That was a bit baffling.

A little early for computers, perhaps -- but Massey has us #16 in his rating and #17 in his power rating.

It's too bad we share our region of the country with that conference. Ohio State will not play a team in the top 15 this year (I think top 20 is generous), but it's FAMU they're upset about.

They've got it figured out. That's some program.

We beat a good NDSU team two years ago, and I don't think we were any better than last year.

I thought you had accidentally linked a Pitt board before last year's game.

I disagree that UNI was a poor team. I think they were a strong team that lost some very tough games early and became a bit disheartened with the playoffs quickly and suddenly out of reach. I think that was a good win for us.
