Pitt Game

[Wick250]

Chief,

We were inexperienced at several spots in 1991.  Several freshmen either started or saw considerable action in the secondary.  One of them was Lester Weaver.  We struggled early that year, actually losing to Akron and then to lowly Liberty at home the week before we had to travel to mighty Georgia Southern.  We all remember how that season worked out as our young players gained experience.  By the time they were juniors and seniors in 1993 and 1994, those kids in the secondary were important cogs in the best defense in IAA football.  And Weaver left YSU having played in four consecutive championship games, winning three and earning All-American honors.  So inexperience is scary, but as go guins noted it is not a reason to panic or lower expectations.

Did anybody listen to the press conference interviews? Made me even more excited for this game. Also, saw this little gem. No idea if the betting site is accurate? No news has been covered in the media at all about the Pitt transfer QB Max Browne being injured?

I can't post the image for whatever reason (it won't let me embed it into this post). But I can assure you, the image exists.

Looks here like Browne is going to play.

Thanks Go, I think you're right. I think he is going to play.

Browne is fine. Saturday can't get here soon enough.

I think this will be a low scoring affair.  I think that we will have to get rid of the ball fast in order to move the ball downfield.  I think the OL is a work in progress.  We will miss Moss and Rivers.  I think Pitt will try to test our secondary.  They know we've lost a lot there.  It will be interesting, but I think this team will play them tough.  The are battle tested.  The MVFC prepares them for that adversity.  I think this one will be a close game.

Prediction scores for the game ?

I say 28-17 Pitt.

[The YO Show]

If I go with what I would like, or rather my heart, I say 27-24 YSU.

But from my head, probably 42-24 Pitt.

My head really hopes my heart is right.

I think the best we can hope for is to stay within 2 scores & come home with everyone healthy,  We will be facing a good QB, one of the top receivers in the country & a good coach who doesn't like YSU.  Go Penguins!

I have not purchased a ticket yet but will do so tomorrow (probably from one of my favorite scalpers).  Where are the majority of YSU fans sitting?

Bo would prefer a low score game this time around. We have the recievers that can get open on the Pitt secondary and a QB who can get them the ball, if our offensive line can give Wells the time he needs..this will be key in this game if want to have any kind of a chance

I know my group and I are sitting in section 110. I know others in Section 108, but I don't know if the majority of fans are sitting in 107. I think that would be my guess. But I'm not sure.

Fever, didn't you say that the oline pass rush defending was suspect from camp? Hoping this is not the case tomorrow.

[ytownchief22]

O-Line and DB's are my biggest concern. We're gonna have to dominate the LOS to win the game.
