YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: ILS Week
« on: November 04, 2022, 02:33:04 PM »
This is a big week for us. The previous 3 game wins were against the lower teams in our conference. Have we grown to be able to compete with the middle of the league teams? This will be a good measuring stick in my mind. I think the change to MD made the difference in our team in many ways. The O is better because the other teams D can't just focus on number 8. If they do like much of last week MD can hurt them. And I think our younger players are getting better and we are fresh at games end because of all the substitutions. I watched ILS play NDSU and in my opinion they are about like us in overall ability. Their QB can run and pass, but is not particularly outstanding at either. Their D is similar in my opinion. Good but not great. So we will see if we can match up with a mid-level team in our conference on the road. Remember last year’s win in the last game of the year on the road was the first for us on the road in a few years. Can we do that for the second time this year against a mid-level team? It will be interesting to see if we are indeed making progress to getting good again and if this coaching staff is doing a good job contrary to what many say on this board.
