YSU Penguin Athletics / Thank You Youngstown and Especially Coach Wolford....

« on: November 25, 2014, 06:16:40 AM »

Just a note to say thanks to the wonderful city Youngstown, Ohio. My family and I have only known you for two years but in that time you have made us feel extremely welcome. We have met the most wonderful people because of YSU Football. Tony and Rita Adams are the best, you made us feel welcome from the start. Those tailgate memories will last forever. We will always be Penguins....

I want to give a SPECIAL HUGE thanks to Coach Wolford. He gave my son the opportunity of a lifetime. He gave him the power to live his dream. He took a kid from California and sold him on North East, Ohio. He believed in him when most didn't. So for that, I can never thank him enough.

Thanks Coach, God Bless and best of luck.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Hunter Wells Starting QB....

« on: October 14, 2014, 01:12:27 PM »

According to Dana Balash, Coach Wolf has said that  Hunter Wells will be the starter on Saturday. That seems like the right call. Let's hope the young man can get it done and play up to his potential.

YSU Penguin Athletics / YSU vs Duquesne--Telecast or Internet

« on: September 01, 2014, 09:44:02 PM »

Does anyone know if the game will be available for viewing live? I live in the south and I don't see that the game will be on ESPN3. Is there a website I can stream the game?

YSU Penguin Athletics / QB Situation

« on: August 31, 2014, 06:05:28 PM »

I love Nania, he's a scrappy player but he has limitations as a QB. I would like to see Wells play the next 3 games, so he gets some experience and let the coaches get him ready for MVFC play. They could use Nania as a change of pace QB maybe put in a "Wildcat" package. Wells probably gives us the best chance to win the tough games.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Joey Cejudo-MVFC Specials Team Player of the Week.

« on: August 31, 2014, 05:58:16 PM »

YSU's Cejudo named special teams Missouri Valley Player of the Week
 

ST. LOUIS, Missouri -YSU's Joey Cejudo has been named special teams Missouri Valley Football Conference Player of the week after his performance against Illinois.
Cejudo made three field goals and averaged 38.3 yards on seven punts against Illinois. He made kicks of 29, 33 and 36 in the contest for the Penguins' first three-FG game since 2010 vs. North Dakota State.

He had a long punt of 47 yards and placed two inside the opponents 20.

Cejudo also had two touchbacks on four kickoffs and had an assisted tackle on kickoff return.

We all know the kid made a terrible blunder. Overall he had a nice game and we probably aren't in the game without his 3 FG's

« on: August 13, 2014, 01:17:10 PM »

It looks like the defense has received some support from the FBS. Handful of new players should definitely contribute...

* Nate Dortch, CB --Univ of Miami
* Kenneth Durden, CB --Univ S. Florida
* LaRon Taylor, LB --Univ of Iowa
* Lee Wright, LB -- Appalachian State
 
Hopefully these men can solidify the defense.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Alternate Uniforms...

« on: July 06, 2014, 12:13:21 PM »

Does anyone know if the team has an alternate uniform? Say maybe an all black uniform with a white helmet with red Y or black helmet with a red Y? That would be really cool. I'm the sure the fans and the players would love it. Not to mention I'm sure that would be a plus with recruiting. If we don't have one , we need to work on it.

YSU Penguin Athletics / Scalzo Article...YSU Specialists

« on: April 17, 2014, 05:14:48 PM »

Joe Scalzo wrote a nice article about the J. Cejudo (PK/P) and N. Gibbs (LS). Kinda funny how both these high school teammates from California ended up at YSU. I'm really interestsed to see how well Cejudo does taking over for N. Liste. Handling all three kicking jobs is not easy.  My spys tell me he is having a nice Spring Camp.
