I was sitting in the snow in disbelief. We were down by 2 TDs and Wolf ran out the clock before half time at the 40 yard line with 40 seconds and 3 timeouts left. The series before that, we scored a TD with 2-3 plays. He either burned all 3 TOs before 2nd quarter or he saved all 3 TOs at the end of the 2nd quarter. That  was really Poor game management.

Agreed, could not believe we did not try and score, sent a bad message to the players. He either wastes TO's when he should not have to or keeps them in his pocket.

The missed XP was sad, we try and show all these looks and run out of time, hurry the kick and miss. Cut the crap, line up and kick it!

Maybe they could get a home game for the 500 people that will go.

I think that the AD should give a season pass to every YSU fan that stayed until the end of the game, My group did! Heck they should throw in a parking pass also.

First, that was an egg they laid today. Woefully unprepared, outplayed and yes, outcoached. It was a debacle. Poor D ad the O was manhandled . Yep, it was embarrassing.

I find myself agreeing with you again!

YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Who is head coach in 2014 ?

« on: November 23, 2013, 07:43:25 PM »

With Wolford failing to improve the defense in the 4 years as head coach and with us missing the playoffs for his 4th straight season tmrw,  Who do we hire as the new head coach ?  Carl Pelini ? Mark Mangino ? Who ?

You are correct about the defense, the last couple of weeks it has been handled. Now we played some good teams, but that just goes to show how far we are from where we want to be. Why are we unable to get some stud D players?

Team did not look ready to play today, talking mental and x's and o's. SDSU was the better team, better prepared, wanted it more then we did.

Blame goes to the coaching staff and Wolf is the man.

DL & Secondary. If you are talking next year, add a QB to that.

I agree

Smith was a thug all game...he was on our side a lot and right in front of the YSU team he was giving receivers the business late after the whistle..I think when the play was over there was a little extra curricular going on and that fueled Wolf.  There were a lot of bad spots...on both sides of the ball...but as they say...if you allow the refs to take a game away then you never deserved to win...don't let the refs decide the game...let your play on the field decide!!!

GO GUINS

Well maybe your receivers should have shut him up by catching a TD pass on him. I am sure your receivers we just angels the whole game and never talked any garbage to him to start things. I am sure you fans were right down on the field and could hear every word. Try anything you can to deflect from the fact you lost the game by complaining about everything but your teams performance. Your own message board has no threads about what your team did wrong to lose the game, only complaints about the Bison. They ruined the anthem, they hit our QB, #6 was smack talking. Face it, your O-line play stunk and that's why your QBs got blown up, your coach has control issues on the field and should have gotten at least 5 penalties for being on the field during a play. You coach say in his post game interview "no excuses" then goes on talking about excuses and whining about NDSU players should be ejected, you coach is a D-bag. You O-line and D-line were terrible, you have no pass defense, that is why you lost. But go ahead and avoid the issues your team has, after all, you coach does.

Don't be so shy, tell us what you really think!

Obviously you care more about what YSU fans are thinking then we care about you folks.

I don't get it. He watches NDSU own ysu in person and sees our style of defense , 10000 fans and doesn't pick us? Weird got family in ohio?

Maybe he feels he can contribute, maybe he likes our facilities, maybe he does not want to play in a barn, maybe he likes the coaching staff, maybe he likes the national anthem, etc etc

Let the Bison fans enjoy their time in the sun. We know it can end quickly.  All the  ND fans I met seem like good people & fans.

I agree, Georgia Southern had their turn, YSU Appy now NDSU, a nice 3-6 year run then back to reality.

I do not see the improved talent-level at all. Certainly a "changed" talent level. We sacrificed at every position in order to make up what we wanted, the result was we did not get what we needed to compete in our conference.

Examples. We went for height in our lines, because we are not going to be able to get quality Big & Tall at our level. Wolf's predecessor would get a quality big and tall athlete and work extensively with him to make him a DLineman. Wolf does the same in his skill positions, but I do not see the coaching craftsmanship molding these guys in the stable positions. We are all speed in our RB's ...no sense of power outside of when Carson has the ball. Then he does not have years of experience reading gaps which is so pivotal to a FB. Look at Wolf chewing on Whery after the overthrow and INT by Garry. Now I did not hear it. Yes the WR should have turned his head once & knocked that corner into the cheap-seats. It is easy to say that, but difficult to do ...I am not convinced these things are taught.

Lets drop back to the UNI game ...our DLinemen were hitting so hard and low, that they had their heads down and missed the play because they had no idea where the ball was. However, it was the only way they could get any penetration. Again where is the strength to get off your block?

I still do not believe that we recruit (at least on defense) for this conference. This is why we all watch NDSU (a 100% YSU of old clone) and feel so bad. Again I decided to give Wolf a chance and even if we do have this change in style, I will accept it. However, we are not winning, so why accept it?

YSU local recruits are from 2 counties ...NDSU's locals include 2 states. You can argue that population is smaller all you want, but you are not going to see OSU or Michigan scouring the Dakotas. The Mahoning Valley is going to see recruiters from all big-6 conferences ...and down.

Heacock's best years were when he first started using Tressel's recruits and when he took numerous I-A recruits for his 2005-2007 run...

If you only knew how he handled recruiting IAAFan... I played with some individuals recruited by him. They were not impressed with how he handled recruiting. I can say unequivocally the recruiting situation is NIGHT AND DAY better now than it was under him.

You can continue to defend Heacock, but he could not cut it as a head coach. He was a great defensive coordinator, but some folks cannot cut it as a head coach. Jon Heacock was one of them. He is a decent guy that did his best, but he could not recruit and he followed in the footsteps of a legend.

In Heacock's defense "IF" he had the funds the Ad is pumping into the FB program plus /assistants the new facilities I think YSU would be in better shape right now. I don't like Wolford something is WRONG with him and I just can't put my finger on it. Is # 25 hurt? damn shame this kid gave 4 years and you don't even see him.

Not so sure Heacock would have done any better with more money, I think he is a great guy and wanted it more than anyone could imagine but something just did not click with him, no confidence showed. Not saying Wolford is burning up the place either, he is more of a car salesman that could use a little more self-control and organization.

I am very happy with what I saw out of Tanner. Showed leadership and composure. Lots of arm work to do off-season ...but the tools are there to work with.

I agree, not happy with the int but it seems to me that the O picked it up a notch when he came in. He did not seem shy!
