Title: UNI Week
Post by: The YO Show on September 25, 2023, 08:49:48 PM
Well, it's UNI week. UNI has been not looking like UNI of late, but given our track record against them AND this is at the dome, I do not feel confident.

Hope we win, and on paper we should but again just not confident.

Keep our heads on straight, play our game and no reason we should not win.

Hate playing in a barn.

Get the running game going especially with at least 25 carries for #10 to stop the linebackers from dropping back to cut off our crossing passes for our WRs & TE.

Defensively we keep doing what we do against the run. Force Day to go to the air. I am hoping the reason we have not been getting good pass rush is the fact that we have not needed nor shown blitz packages and coverages. We need to harass Day all day.No pun intended. I know we have not put together solid a 4 quarters of football and this needs to happen this week. Keep the gas on the entire game and don’t let them think they have a chance. Agree with the run on offense. Make them stop it. I too am weary of the barn and the fact we have not won there since the 20th century but I think the hex ends on Oct. 30. Get some turnovers and we win this game.

GO GUINS!

I watched some of the UNI-Weber State game. Weber was able to pressure Day, and he made mistakes. We simply must find a pass rush, with well-designed blitz packages if necessary. Otherwise Day will pick us apart.

Most of our games in the UNI gym followed a similar scenario. They stopped our run and we were not sophisticated enough to hurt them with a passing game. This might be the best balanced offense that we are ever sending to that cursed facility. The UNI defense could not contain Weber. I believe that we are better. We shall see.

Check this out.  Their reporters don't seem concerned about us.  Farley comes out and says late in the interview that YSU looks like the old teams, big, physical and athletic.  He said we look like an MVFC team and we're ranked because of our personnel. That's about as far as he goes.  Sounds like their secondary is inexperienced.

All do respect, why would the announcers be concerned?  We've done nothing to scare any opponent.  Not to mention our abysmal record in that building.

2pm is kick.  Lets see how we go after this very important league game.   Win and we have a chance for 3rd in conference as most good league teams we have at home this year including SDSU.  1st we have to beat UNI on the road for a chance for any type of upper league finish or playoffs.   I believe we can beat them.   Thoughts????

Run #10 to setup the passes. Put pressure on their QB so he does not have time to explore our pass defense. If we play like the second half agonist Ohio State (only giving up 7 points in the 2nd half) and eliminate the silly penalties, we should be able to win.
I assume all you guys know that I am stating the obvious…

If we can pressure their QB, I am confident in the penguins offense to score enough points to win. We are very balanced this year and UNI's defense isn't as good as normal.

Was Davidson playing with a brace on his left calf / ankle to start the game? Looks like that's what's hurting him now. Hopefully he is alright

If you need 1 yard with 2 downs, hand the ball to # 10 twice.
What the ….?

Down 2 scores we're not in a hurry up .

Post by: coachtress on September 30, 2023, 05:09:30 PM
Stupid not taking the three points, and then stupid jumping offside on 4th down (when they were most likely going to punt if we didn’t jump), cost us big time.

Blew this game. Kick the field goal. Unreal.
We have a long way to go. That’s terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Play calling. f***

100%.   Still 2 cracks for 1 yard should be executed by at least one qb sneak.

i tried to really back this coaching staff but after today no more. i am 74 years old but i think i could catch a couple of passes against this secondary. plus no hurry up offense and takes 2 time outs with him  for the bus ride to the airport. plus who  runs a onside kick back .have they ever practiced that. i 'm sorry good bye

Like I said you won't know what type of team we have until after UNI game. Same Old, Same Old.

Post by: YSU FAN#34 on September 30, 2023, 05:52:12 PM
Any QB’s on here? Please explain how, at this level,QB1 stares down receivers (from the snap)and expects to complete passes?  Just so sooo bad.  Also, how many years in a row are we into now, that the secondary just gets lit up every game?  It’s embarrassing. RMU made the D look silly.  Hahahahhaha.  Is that skill problems or coaching problems.  Or both?  I’d bounce the DC before OC although OC is right behinds.  It’s so funny at this point.  Step or two back today, imo. Here’s more also, running game is blah at best.

The program needs to win these type of games on the road to show they have arrived.   I think we have a good team but not a championship team.

No participation trophies.
No moral victories.

Still think despite the tough loss that the program is going in the right direction.  I know a lot of us are emotional after a loss but lots of football to play still.

Need #10 to get 17 to 20 carries a game.

This is the fourth consecutive failed head coach after the departure of Tressel. Wonderful. Ending the season again before we reach October. That second quarterback sneak was the WORST play call in the history of YSU football.

Lucky if there are 40 D1 players on the roster.  The other 60 local players are there to pad the home attendance with family.  The OC has been horrible since DAY 1.  Just like the head coach HE'S ON THE CHEAP.

The schedule is watered down enough no N Dakotas that we can make playoffs!  I think Murray St is the last game.  Probably be the game to play in for us for a playoff game.

That being said, the loss of Jaheel has hurt the offense, especially in the passing game, because everybody was out to stop him that made Davidson opportunities in the passing game. Yes, number 10 a good running back, but nothing close to Jaleel so now are passing game times is struggling

After Ohio State game. I did see some improvement.  But the pass rush and defensive backfield isn’t where it should be the experts on here saw differently.

Not getting a field goal in the second half hurt us but lack
Of converting our third downs before the garbage time touchdowns was a big factor. If we lose another two games, it’s time to look at Brungard to see if he’s the guy at quarterback football is about the quarterback And until we get division one quarterback, we have to coach, and play perfectly to win games.
I do think Phillips needs to recruit locally but to get true better depth it’s time to get kids that are D1.  How many attendance still sucks even with the local recruiting enough already

You can thank president sweatervest for the hire

Bad coaching costed us this game. On 3rd down and 1, just handed the ball to # 10. He might break it for a td around the outside.
Since we didn’t gain any yardage on the QB sneak on the 3rd down, either kicked the FG to go up by 7 or change up the play.
Those two coaching (terrible) decisions completely change the momentum of the game. We just could not recover.
We were definitely being out coached today. The players deserved better….

Not a fan of Doug Phillips at all.   We missed our chance to hire Brian Wright.   He is now the HC of Pittsburgh state  a d2 powerhouse.   Has a good record at the school.  We should have went that route.

Phillips is no more then a program manager.  I thk it could work but you have to have the coaches to make that model work.  Just curious how the secondary can be so bad with a former OSU starter anchoring the back end? I believe the front 7 are equally responsible for the pass defense issues.
