Well to be fair they got plenty of push the first 2 quarters. We couldn't stop the run at all. Getting Savon back will help a lot. He's one of the best interior guys in the league.

You have to wonder, I know we ended up doing well defensively in the second half, but would we have been better in the first half with Savon? I think we would have. Would it have helped against the run is the question. We got gashed by the run game in the first half. Could have changed the game. Great what ifs. Still, YSU showed some heart against Pitt.

You 'gotta be wrong.  we have 9 in our tailgate group alone!

(should be closer to 20 I would hope!)

This made me chuckle  ;D

Sad to say, I cannot attend. I work a dayshift this Saturday from 6am to 6pm. I'll be watching on my phone provided things aren't busy and I don't have to be attending to emergencies at work.

I think it wiould be less than 12. On Wednesday, I was at the ticket office selecting my seats after receiving free tickets from YSU. THe lower sections (other than 3, 4,5 ) were almost all empty. If it is the same for the upper sections, I can't imagine we will have more than 12k unless RM fans and our students pack the Easi Stands.

I will make this one post about attendance, then never comment upon the topic again.  Our fan base is half of what it was in the 90s.  Only an intelligent, aggressive marketing arm could rebuild some of the numbers.  Obviously, we don't have that.  So moaning about low attendance is pointless.  Enjoy the games and stop living in the past.

Wick is right.  Youngstown has lost have its population.  The majority of the town is fixed income, pension and low end  type wage earners.  People expect handouts and free tickets.  Where the money is is the loges and corporate sponsors.  Why do u think they are building more of those. The days of 17-20k are gone.  Plus students on campus for the most part don't care.  I think in the old days at least 2k would show up it seems now we are lucky to get 500.

For everybody who hated on Wells, you can see he is probably the best qb we have on the roster right now. Nothing against Mays, but he hasn't played the cleanest today. Again not knocking him. I do have faith he will win this game. But was watching this at work on my phone and noticed Hunter was out as soon as we got to redzone. Wasnt sure if he was hurt or if I missed a bad throw and Pelini wanted Mays in or something. I assumed he was hurt. ESPN guy didn't even mention the wells injury from what I heard. Admittedly have had spotty cell coverage and missed entire plays with the feed freezing so he may have mentioned it when I couldn't hear.
