Well - here we go again! O line play needs to improve or we are in for another long game. DP said these are the best wide outs we have seen all year - should be a challenge for the secondary who have not played all that great either.

62-56! 950 yards passing in the game? WTH? Anyhow - lets get this started. This is the game to establish the balanced attack of run game and pass game. If we can give Crenshaw some time, we should be able to get the ball downfield. Must win at home in the conference!

GO GUINS!

YSU Penguin Athletics / SIU Game Thread

Well - game 3 of the silly season! We now face a team that was going to be the easiest of the first 4 but they go ahead and soundly beat NDSU!

Here are some things to look for this week:

1. The 2 QB system is not working. Looking for Waid to take over the reigns. A QB needs rhythm and doing this creates an already rhythmless offense to have less rhythm. ( I used rhythm a lot there). You get the drift!
2. Punting for field position has to improve. DeSalvo needs to be the punter - proved it with last punt of game last week.
3. Need Becker and any other COVID protocol players back!
4. Need to control the ball a little longer this game and give the defense a break! If we are going to win it is going to be low scoring and the defense is going to keep us in it!
5. We need a smack in the mouth play - Pick 6, fumble recovery for 6, something big to put them on their heels and give some life to the O. It will happen and it will change the game when it does!
6. The D is solid across all aspects - run, run support from secondary, pass coverage. Can only get better but need to come off the field! Couple of 3rd and longs last week really hurt them. Need big stops on 3rd down!
7. Is Tim Johnson suiting up?
8. Please fix the sound system! I can't believe we have the multimedia press box and a sound system that sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher. ( I used sound a lot there). get the picture!
9. Last one - I swear - give Gonya a shot - if you are going to platoon QB's this spring then do it with the kickers!
10. One more - bring back tailgating - this pandemic is over! No tailgating - no Pete on a Stick!

GO GUINS!

YSU Penguin Athletics / UNI Gameday Thread

« on: February 27, 2021, 08:13:36 AM »

Game 2 of the silly season. Things to look for:
1. QB Play- how quick will Waid step in and take the reigns?
2. Will the O line progress enough to pass block in the first half so we can complete a pass.
3. We will see a much better QB today. Can the secondary continue to cover like they did last week.
4. Will McLaughlin be the go to RB?
5. +7.5 is a surprising line. Can we make UNI 0-2 on season!
6. Coaching- I like the run game but need to open it up a bit more early.
7. Tight Ends - can’t say that enough. We have two good ones. Use them!!

Go Guins!

YSU Penguin Athletics / NDSU Gameday

« on: February 21, 2021, 10:53:34 AM »

Since the other posts are full of medical experts espousing about masks and a virus, I thought I would start a post on the actual gameday thoughts and expectations. Here is what I am looking for:

1. Coaching presence and motivation of team - how will the coaches handle adversity because we know we are going to have it this spring? Management of clock. Some sign of a plan and strategy for putting talent in winning situations.
2. Any sign of glimmers of talent or play from positions and players? Who will shine today? Who will be a bust?
3. Coach play calling - offense and defense. Will we be in at least the right positions today to make plays? Not panicking! Reinforcing young mistakes instead of berating them as we have had in the past.
4. O Line - subbing and ability to stay together as a unit.
5. Defense - secondary - can they cover? Can they make plays on the ball instead of having back to QB all day?
6. Keeping up with the pace of the game!
7. Injuries - keep to minimum this game and rest of spring.

Lots to look for and looking forward to YSU football again.

GO GUINS

YSU Penguin Athletics / Assistant Coaches

« on: February 10, 2020, 10:48:42 PM »

OK..the head coach is in position. As I stated before, recruiting and assistant coaches are the key. I started this for updates on assistant coaches. I have heard the DC is from John Carrol and the OC is from EKU? Grosetti staying as strength coach, Peterson staying as O Line - I think?? Has anyone heard anything else?

Post anything you hear...
