I’m becoming a big fan of McLaughlin, he’s a really talented back. Definitely showing why he put up all those absurd stats in d2!

Then we took him out and put in LP for the 2 point PAT. LP came up short.

It looked like the dreadful “preventive defense”.
We couldn’t make adjustments when SIU did the up tempo offense in the last drive.
Hope coach keep #5 & #9 off the backfield in the second half.

SIU made the adjustments to stop the YSU run game.
Need some quick throws.

Well fought game against a very good team. We have a chance to be a pretty good team in the fall

A few drops late in the game that need to be made.  Wade learning on the job.

They made progress in fixing the OL/running game. I hope they will make progress on OL/passing game next week.
It looks like coach has made his decision on the starting offensive back field.

Better today by a lot. At least the game is competitive. Glad to see Waid at QB since he gives us the best chance to move the ball. He doesn't go down easy and can sure run the ball with power.  Not sure about the other qbs we have that have not played.  Only question on Waid in my opinion from what I saw is arm strength. Hope it is not so.

At rb we need 8.  LP goes down easy and hurt us on the 2 point try.  20 is a good receiver and hasn't really run the ball that much this year.  Other years his running ability is again not elusive or with power to break tackles.  With Waid and 8 we have the best chance at the run game.

The missed extra point and coming up short on the 2 point try really hurt us in my opinion. Could have been a confidence boost with 14 instead of 12.

The defense at the end of the 1st half really hurt our confidence.  Not sure if it was prevent defense or not, but it really hurt. And the 2nd half SI shut down our run game and we had some dropped passes that hurt. But I liked the last drive we had where we threw the ball down field, not just running. Hopefully next week we can run and throw instead of being so predictable.

OL. Much better.  Watched on tv so not the best way to watch an OL.....but they were ok.  After first two games I thought they would be a disaster. 

It’s heartening

I like Phillips’ sideline demeanor with the players.  Though he’s gonna lose 10 lbs a game  never stops moving 😄
