Offensive line had too many mental mistakes the last series that shouldn't happen for an experience unit.   SD qb not mobile but no blitz unlike last week.

Coach seemed to play not to lose at the end instead of letting it rip.
I am absolutely agree with you that we play for not to lose in the last drive.
When the commentators said that YSU is going back to the game plan…..I knew we were doomed.
Why committing the PI and stop the clock. Tackle the guy after he caught the ball. You need the clock to run…
It took total screw ups at the end of game to give one away…. We ran the damn ball and was throwing the 50+ yards pass.
Move the ball down field and kick the field goal to win the game.
I just don’t understand the play calling at the end of the game……..

Can't win with 10 penalties for 75 yards.  Most came at critical times.  We get no pressure on opposing QB's.  It puts tremendous pressure in the secondary to perform. Their QB was accurate too

Agree with  a few other posters.  Poor game management on our last drive.  Plus that false start by the senior tackle was a killer as well.

What made it even worse was we played in prevent it looks like we rushed 3 guys on the last 2 plays I think on  interference call we did. Plus i knew they were going back to the same area to set up for fg.  Poor coaching there and i almost forgot didn’t we go for it at mid field in the first qtr and we lost field position if we punted and u think  that played in their first score For SD.

This is 2 games we blew now on the road.  We need to win out now or stick a fork in it for any chance of the olayoffs.   The better coach win today.  Their coach won 2 D2 championships and it showed today.  Ours coached like he was still coaching the Salem Quakers

You can blame Strollo for running the program into the ground. Phillips is doing a fine job considering the starting point. Because the program now doesn't have the money to pay for the best, you have to endure a learning curve.  Deal with it.  He will be a great long term coach that brings stability to our football program. 

Unfortunately we play in a conference that's just completely brutal and is so good it actually downgrades the rest of the B1G because the MVFC steals those players.

We are far more improved, but we are missing that explosive player on both sides of the ball.  Need to upgrade the DL and the secondary coaching

You hit it in the nose I said beginning of the year we don’t have a legit homerun hitter on offense.  We have a few good ones  but we don’t have  that special sauce player. 

But the game management hurt us tonight.  Coaching wasn’t used those last few minutes.  We had timeouts use them Coach dammit. 

I said all along as long as we are in this conference we will struggle to be in the top 3.
I stand by what I say
Nothing makes me puke more than hearing well we play in the toughest league, blah blah blah.

There’s no flag or trophy  for finishing  4th or 5th every year. 

The fans are tired of it and honestly a lot of the diehards are as well.
We keep making excuses for Phillips but what’s scary here is.
He hasnt recruited 1 good offensive skill player since he’s been here!  He had a couple of. Good transfers and a steal with the Rb we had last year. 
King is ok 
But his HS recruits at the rb and QB?
Defensively we have transfer LB that’s decent and 1 Lineman
We still have too many penalties.  Nothing really has changed much
Like someone said. 6-5. Or 7-4 that’s what is.
We still dont have any identity either.

Well! Start looking forward to basketball!  There is no way we recover from this one, and make the playoffs unless the committee takes practically the whole MVC, and we know they will only take the top three, maybe four if lucky!

Mens basketball has the potential to be better than last year...  I have attended 3 or 4 practices and they look super athletic. Possibly can win the league.  Trust me on this we are deeper and have a strong transfer class.  We have lots of size and experience.

The problem here is that football is the only sport that matters.  No one gives a sh** about non-contact Olympic sports.

SDSU is the eventual National Champion.  We need to see how we stack up to them. That's who we need to be better than to win it all..

More excitement at a ysu men's basketball game than any of the ysu sports hands down.  Yes it was the best season ever but more to come.  Maybe we are becoming a basketball school.    Seems that way.
