YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Pitt Game

« on: September 28, 2017, 03:43:15 PM »

I know this game is long past, but a point I am wondering about is the lack of penalty calls at the end of games or just in general.  If you watch the Pitt game on the play of their score in overtime, our number 4 is being held.  If that is called an entirely different game possibly.  Also in the Eastern Washington game last year on the Rader catch, he is definitely being held and again no call. In both cases almost no mention of these calls or non calls.  Then remember back to the end of the North Dakota State game when coach Bo lost it on the pass interference call. That foul was way less of a foul than the other 2 non calls.  Makes you wonder.  I know in a game calls go both ways, but some of these sure stand out to me.

I agree completely with go guins.  We should be a nation of laws, not mobs etc.

YSU has always been a University with a goal of helping people succeed and improve themselves.  I can't believe the University is working against that primary function of their existence in this case. As for the Vindicator I often feel they work to tear down the area, the University, and successful local people.

I agree, just talking the ability to run and throw, not when and where to throw or run.  I hope things work out for all the QB's.  If we get to it, I am hoping Ricky can be the total package if called on. Nice person.

No doubt the media is fishing on this one.  Watch the TV news and they can't get anyone much to comment, but they come to conclusions. On campus most students don't even know about it according to one report. Fake News?

I thought Ricky Davis looked good.  We may need him.  Could be a movie plot in the making.

Of all the QB's I think he throws the best and runs the best.  I know he let everyone down last year, but it wasn't because he couldn't throw or run.

Was at the game and what I saw was a Pitt team that was bigger than we were in just about every position.  To hold our own in the game was a success in my opinion.  For the most part the defense was in position to make plays but the size factor hurt us, especially in the first half.  Not sure what the difference was in the second half, but we sure looked better. Probably adjustments by our staff on defense and personnel changes. The defensive backs did well I think and will be ok as time goes on. On offense Hunter played well, but left some things on the field that could have really changed the game and gave us points in the first half to make it a different game overall. But the Pitt QB didn't look that good to me and will cost them if he doesn't improve. I think we will be fine this year.

Bret Franz really has stepped up as of late.  Those foul shots at the end saved the game.  Hartfield is a real find and looks really good.  If we had strong bigs, we could be really good this year.

Nice win for our men's team.  Really a strong effort to beat a team with a strong inside game which usually gets us.

Does anyone know the 7 players suspended by JMU?  Do they compare to our 5 who were not only starters, but significant starters in most cases.  How about the depth of JMU compared to YSU to replace those suspended?  Also it appears that the YSU starters were suspended due to testing by the NCAA.  Any word on the JMU suspensions and their source of the suspensions.  I know that most of this is conjecture since all programs do not release names, let alone reasons and sources of suspensions.

YSU has the WATTS Center funded in part by a gift of the Watson and Tressel families.  You may know that Jim Tressel was our former coach and current University President and past coach of Ohio State.

The link to the WATTS is below.  Not sure how to post pictures here.

To make all the mistakes we did today and still win is amazing!  Not sure if it was the cold or what, but kicking was way short of what we have seen all year.  Also the defense had its problems, but without our turnovers and blocked punt we would have been much better off.  We need to start strong and today we sure didn't.

Eastern Washington will be a tough challenge for sure especially with the jet lag factor.  Trust in our players and coaches to give us the best chance to win.

Just heard Rob Schmidt on the radio state that Cam Morris has a sprained right wrist from the Toledo game and it has been a problem since and not getting better.  That is why he was out yesterday I guess.

Hope he gets better soon, really needed.

#12 had a good day in the run game and not much in the pass game except for the td pass.  Not much confidence in him with pressure passing for sure.  Not sure what options we have there.

Defense was great, especially # 9 and 11.  The db's were strong most of the time. #7 had a rough day at WVU, but today played very well.

Can the defense and run game save us?
