Game day! Hope the Guins can take this team seriously and dominate!
One of the betting sites show Duquesne having a 48% chance to win
Massey ratings gives us an 83% chance of winning, I like that number better lol
Special teams are awful.
Mays is a much better passer this year then last. I did not say he was a great passer; if he was, he would not have been sitting behind Wells, as Wells had no legs. Why would you think Mays is some great runner? He is a clear drop-back guy. What you saw on the other side was a running QB. That being said, this team operates well under Mays and he is "clearly" the man until injury or Craycraft dramatically improves his game.
Also, Craycraft or Waid will not start for this team after 2019.
Run the ball and play sound defense. Let the D-Line wreak havoc and I predict a YSU winner.
ET,
Pelini's first radio program is this evening. We may or may not learn more today.
Most of you could not care less about this, but the NCAA is celebrating the 150th anniversity of absolutely nothing. The notion that Rutgers and Princeton played the first "football" game in 1869 is as ridiculous as the myth that Abner Doubleday created baseball. Yes, students from those schools met and played a game....it was like freakin' soccer. You advanced the ball by KICKING it or batting it with your hand. You COULD NOT RUN WITH THE BALL and you COULD NOT TACKLE ANYBODY.
REAL FOOTBALL evolved from rugby which students from McGill University in Canada introduced to Harvard students in 1874. The next year, Harvard and Yale played a rugby style game much more similar to real football than that soccer-like junk. A young Yale student played in that game.... Walter Camp. He would subsequently be the central force in forming football out of rugby over the next several decades as the Yale team captain and then long-time coach.
Sorry for this rant.
Interesting. And seven of those who finished ahead of us are historically black schools that undoubtedly played "home" games off campus in large cities with significant African-American populations. Those games are important community events in the South that date back to the brutal days of complete racial segregation. In "on-campus" only games, we probably are still in the top ten in attendance, which might well be a reflection of the state of FCS football across the nation.Boy 1AA, I knew you have pretty important persons on your blog, but this almost reads like POTUS Trump is a member! Blacks in black towns don't count when you are figuring attendance for black schools? Maybe we should count them as 3/5ths of a white person like the US Constitution did?
Farrar is listed on the 2019 football roster as having junior eligibility. So how can he be classified as a grad transfer if he did not graduate? (unless he graduated in three years, including a transfer....virtually impossible.) So if he is not a grad transfer, how can he play next year at Auburn after moving from FCS to FBS? Or does he just intend to play baseball and is the transfer rule for that sport different from football?
And if he was not injured, why did he get beat out for playing time last season by receivers that did not begin their college careers at Oklahoma? This whole thing is weird.
He is graduating this summer. He was in Bo's dog house all year. Our most talented WR but once mid year came, he was out of the rotation.
He is headed to Auburn.
yeah you could say we really blew this one huh?
Now some bad football news....WR Zach Farrar has left the program as a grad transfer.
300k to drive 45 min to go beat them in their own stadium ? Count me in.Agreed!
