Would be great if Pitt hangs on--#13 ranked VaTech is the highest ranked team on Pitt's schedule this years--so many have predicted a 1 or 2 victory season for them --with a few miracle wins they can still win ten.Va Tech losing to sPitt 21-0 last time i checked
21-3 half
No he is not correct, the Saftey was not playing out of position he was playing up to stop the run.
The S's assignment is to stop the run or force it inside if it is a run running play, or to drop in pass coverage if it's passing play. The sooner the safety can make the determination the better his chance to stop it, but he needs to make the read.
The S is supposed to key the end man on the line of scrimmage to determine the initial read to determine if they are running or passing. If they are passing and the defense is in man coverage the S needs to find his receiver. If the defense is in zone then the S has to drop back into his zone as fast as he can and watch the receivers coming into the S's coverage area.
If the S reads a run, then his assignment is to either make the tackle, or force the run back to the inside so the rest of the team assist. If the ball is run to the weak side of the defense then the S needs to stay home to cover a reverse or counter.
YSUGO is correct, he was not in position. Don't tell me how the DB's are supposed to cover. I played the game of football and I am a student of the game and I have some concerns. It is not just about playing the run. If he was playing the run then he made the reads incorrectly on multiple occasions.
Just asking. With the safety playing out of position, I would target the long ball if I were coaching against us.
This poll is a joke. A knee-jerk reaction to beating Pitt. I personally would rather hear about basketball recruiting targets than football ones. Half of the football roster are transfers and jucos anyway that aren't even mentioned when recruiting threads are posted. There weren't many football posts until we beat Pitt now all of a sudden the bandwagon is full. You should be a fan of all YSU sports. Keep as one.
It is all about getting to 7 Division I wins. Valpo is better than the eventual Division II national champion in terms of getting you in the field. Not in terms of getting better.
This year it is easy to have a different take with a win over Pitt, but if you open with a loss to Michigan State then go out and lose to Montana and Delaware out of conference, you need to go 7-1 in conference. Go out and beat Valpo and Stony Brook and all you need is 5-3. I agree its stupid, but App State and Montana last weekend is the exception.
The other consideration is that if YSU wants 6 home games a year and wants to play a FBS team for a paycheck, then both other OOC teams have to be at home. Quality FCS full scholarship teams are not going to agree to a one year contract at YSU as they are facing the same situation.
A 24 team playoff field may some day result in a team with less than 7 Division I wins getting an at large bid - but until that happens we are going to see more of the same.
