I am going with 34-6 ... Good guys. I cannot see this team getting in the end-zone on us.

YSU should defeat Robert Morris by 3 or more TD's, but we cannot take them lightly.

YSU 35  RM 14

GO YSU!! Then the MVFC

I hope to see less penalties, better special teams and a whole lot of backups in the second half.

If we get more sideline penalties I may just lose my mind.

[Double ET]

Does anyone know if RM has a mobile/running QB.
Our D has not been good in containing a mobile QB, especially with Reed sitting out the first half.

Check, check and check

Halftime was great. Some names that I have not heard in a while. Craycraft cannot seem to move this offense. There were also times that a better QB would have completed passes for big gains. A bit scary. Also I would like to see the "4-headed monster" twindle down a bit

If Jones is out long term, it spells bad news for the Guins.

Looks like you got all of the above!

From my viewpoint, our team is good in most areas.  Remember we are FCS so depth is a problem and most of the players are not up to the level of the top players on many FBS teams.  But for FCS most are really good.  My opinion is D line is fine to better than fine, Line Backer are ok, Corners are ok, Safeties are fine.  Overall D is fine.

On O the O line is ok, the Running backs are good, the tight Ends are really good for FCS, and the only question is still the QB.  Running the QB is fine, but throwing concerns me.  I expect the MVFC teams will load up on the run and short passing game and make us throw deep to beat them.  If we can do that we are in.  If not trouble.  We will see a lot next Saturday at 5.

Glad to see JA get 14 carries, I think he is underused.

If Jones is out long term, it spells bad news for the Guins.

The 1A transfer Jones boys are the key to the season.  They and Reed (another 1A transfer) are by far the best players on our roster and we need all 3.  Matt's X-rays negative, but a high ankle sprain can be worse than a break.  Does anyone have an update on Matt's injury?

I agree.  His yards per carry have always been good to excellent, but they've never given him the ball?  Lots of things I don't understand, and this is one of them?!?!?
