Maybe Bryce will make the roster and see playing time. He is a pretty good wide receiver and the Titans need one.

I don't think the competition is completely over... I think that when we switch from camp to Nova week here (this week) the decision will be made. I am not 100% sure though, haven't heard anything in a little bit. Last I heard I think Beau was just slightly ahead of the other two, and the competition was tight.

DP was incredibly optimistic in MVFC media day and in answering a question about grueling schedule with no bye week, he was saying he was confident we would be fine because our depth has gotten to where it needs to be, he was confident in all four running backs for example and talked about how depth was a point of emphasis for him when ever since he took over the program (slight paraphrasing). Coach does sound incredibly optimistic, most I have ever heard him be.

Personally, I think the barometer for the year is the season opener at Villanova. If we win that game, I am going to be very optimistic. I personally am worried for that game, I think that game will be a tougher game than the Pitt game in terms of odds of winning. Before anyone hits me with their pitchfork, I am not saying that Pitt will be an easy game, but ironically the FBS game is, IMHO, NOT the toughest OOC game on our schedule. The Jackrabbits Illustrated crew gave us within a 1% difference in odds to win either game (with Pitt being just 1% less likely than the Nova game), both were in the 34-35% and change range.
I am excited by coach philips comments though, he is very enthusiastic and one thing that will be a strength this year should be offensive line, so that bodes well for breaking in a new QB.

YSU has a good chance with the talent on the team this year to outperform this preseason forecast.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: It’s officially Football Season

If you think YSU has had turnover in the portal... look at Murray State! 42 players in the portal!!!!
https://www.inforum.com/sports/bison-media-zone/mens-sports/mcfeelys-tip-sheet-spring-football-transfer-portal-opens-and-so-far-all-quiet-on-the-bison-front
"It was January 2023 when the Football Championship Subdivision was breathlessly asking: "What is going on at North Dakota State?" A dozen players had entered the transfer portal since the end of the regular season and great football minds from Brookings to Grand Forks were gleefully speculating that things were going haywire in Fargo.
Today, a little more than a year later, losing 12 players in the transfer portal seems quaint for most FCS squads.
The spring football window officially opened for the portal Tuesday and activity was busy. Actually, it's been busy since the end of last season for most schools. Of the 11 Missouri Valley Football Conference football programs, just two — NDSU and South Dakota State — have fewer than 10 players that have entered the portal.*
(* - That's as of now. Like, right this second. The portal stays open until May 1, so it's likely both the Bison and Jackrabbits will have more players enter. The key is whether those players are starters, key contributors or fourth-stringers.)
Nobody else has been as lucky.
North Dakota lost two more offensive linemen starters to the portal Tuesday, guard Sam Hagen and center Cade Borud. They join two other Fighting Hawks offensive linemen who entered after last season: tackle Easton Kilty and top backup Braden Bryant. With the graduation of Donny Ventrelli, UND will have to replace five of its top six o-linemen. The Hawks football program just isn't getting any puck luck.
But overall, UND has only 10 players in the portal from last season.
Compare that to Murray State, which has had a whopping 42 players go into the portal since last December. It's likely new Racers head coach Jody Wright saw his roster and invited a couple of dozen players to leave and will replace them with transfers he brings in ... but 42 is a Deion Sanders-like number when it comes to transfers.
Youngstown State has lost 26 players since the end of last season; Indiana State has lost 20; South Dakota has lost 15; Missouri State, Southern Illinois and Illinois State have lost 13 each; and Northern Iowa has lost an even 12.
We tried to tell all the other FCS programs that were gloating when the Bison had a dozen players in the portal that your day is coming, too. It's here. Told you so."

Even if that is true that we would share it with the same record that seems incredibly unlikely... Oakland's last opponent is 1 win Detroit Mercy.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Youngstown St loses Defensive Coordinator
« on: January 29, 2024, 08:26:49 PM »This is like loosing most of the D players. We ain't loosing much. Special teams have been OK but D not so much. Ufortunate,y we will have all new players and all new coaches defensively and new QB RB and WR. Might be a tough start to the season.
This is where I disagree Go, it would appear to me that losing the special teams coordinator is a big loss. Special teams have been improving the last few years and was REALLY good last year.
