Well, thanks to COVID, it has been a bit longer than expected before YSU had another game, but YSU plays WIU tonight at 8pm. To be broadcast on WBCB and ESPN+. Thoughts?
-
I hope we remain focused, if we do we should be ok, if not!
-
A nice run but not looking to sharp so far
-
Could not take the announcers on ESPN any more, switched to Bob + Chris. ESPN feed was off a play but the feed on 21 is spot on

I believe the announcers on WBCB and ESPN are from WIU. They are just not very good.

Great way to end the half

Trying to ice the kicker costed WIU 4 points.

Wow some of the camera shots have been terrible, that field goal was missed.
-
Bad night for special teams
-
Is it just me or are these television announcers high school.? In fact saying high school might even be giving them credit let’s just say junior high school.
In any case we’re playing terrible. Just hoping to get out with the wind here. How many third down conversion can we have in one game?

Try 57kbn on the internet, they are trying but they are bad.
-
We need more pressure on their qb.

No only the announcing was terrible, their knowledge and understanding of the game were even worse.
We are just making too many mistakes in this game. Their QB is just getting too much time to throw the ball.
We are definitely risking to lose this game.

This is very sloppy game, we need to take control, long drive with points

First time this season YSU has been out hustled out coached. DP has some work to do. Hard to believe a 1-4 team was overconfident but that’s just what they look like.
-
Well this game was exactly what everybody in the conference was talking about. Battle between the two worst teams in the conference. Unfortunately we came out on the bottom
-
No quarterback, no offensive line, no offensive coordinator. Thank goodness this is not the fall.
-
Yikes. Lots to cleanup and work on.
-
Ugly
-
Losing to the doormat of the conference. Not great...
-
I'm quite sure this night was historic. Giving up touchdowns on both a punt return and a kickoff return in the same freakin' game. That was not even the most disturbing thing. A bad football team run blitzed on nearly every down in the second half and we had no answer. Not a thing in our playbook to counter that. Shameful.
-
should have run quick slants instead of out patterns. and run that big tight end in the middle of the field because their linebackers were on the line of scrimmage. didn't have much time to throw. their offensive line was not big so they must have been strong and fast.

I agree, we were out coached in the 2nd half
-
The team is young and inconsistent.
Theme of the game was special teams. We had so many problems with special teams it kept WIU in the game.
What I will say is that they were at home, at night and they probably felt they should have won against Northern Iowa.
The real issue I see is that the wide receiver routes are just awful and have not improved. It's the only area that really hasn't improved.
-
Western Illinois's football field looks like a high school field. their announcers sounded like they were in high school. and we lost. not a good night
the 90's were sure a long time ago
number 8 for YSU reminds me of Shawn Patton
-
I assumed ESPN would have some type of minimum professional broadcasting standard. Clearly, I was wrong. The color commentator was just awful. There simply wasn’t any way to sugar coat that one.
-
Agree with most of the posts. The announcers were sure lacking and high school might be too high for them.
Our O line was really exposed, but we didn't have anything to counter their run blitzing on every run down. I could predict run or pass so I am sure Western did also and looked like they were in our huddle. Our pass blocking was not good so Wade didn't have any time and our receivers were covered. Most throws were short and Western knew it. Not sure if Wade is enough of a passer to get us out of this run blitzing they did. I hope it is just poor play calls and a need of an O line improvement and receivers also so they are open. Hard to believe our coaches couldn't come up with something to counter their all out run blitzing.
And 2 special team touchdowns really were the difference with all the other weaknesses we had. Western should have had 2 more TDs and a field goal or 2 more and it was still close. Our 2nd half offence was terrible. They knew our tendencies and brought the house to those tendencies. And they were right most of the time. Other games the other team didn't believe in a total gamble and we were able to survive. Not last night.

High school announcers, inferior facilities, poor recruiting area and a victory over the once proud YSU Penguins

All that may be true but I predict that their freshman qb will never beat us again.
-
I am rooting for Mark Waid, local QB, want him to be the guy. I have doubts, there must have been a reason why YSU and Lehigh at our level were the only schools recruiting him. In the pocket he struggles, the two 4th quarter interceptions were bad. Locked in on one receiver. I realize he is just a redshirt freshman, I think he deserves to start next year and be given every change. Waid appears to be much more comfortable throwing on the move.
But without a great or at least a very good QB it is going to be very hard to be a playoff contender.

yes, but we were out hustled big time. First time we've quit in a game. We played NDSU to the very last play. Made me proud, Saturday made me sad. How in the world can a 1-4 team be overconfident?!?!? Hard to believe.
-
I just saw that Western Illinois has canceled the remainder of their football season due to a lack of players at some positions. And after they beat us!
-
Another thought is that I think Western Illinois is in serious financial trouble. Their last 2 games being canceled are road game which in this conference can be very expensive.

I think that they and ISU red should be reprimanded by the league big time. I doubt that lack of players is the reason and agree that money, or lack there of, is the real reason.
Two road games for them means two home games for the other schools. All schools had the same number of home and away games, so it is likely that these two schools made their away games and deserved a chance to play at home and maybe make some money.
At least ISU blue made the call not to play up front.

I'm looking at the stands on our home games and the ESPN+ broadcasts and I'm not seeing anybody covering expenses so far. Not even NDSU who could pack the place if they were allowed, had enough, I think 500? Can't make money with government restrictions like that!
Only decent crowd in any sport in a year was the Texas Rangers! My new favorite team. Tribe is a bunch of cheap losers. Indian tribes should push a name change for this bunch of no hit wonders. No "tomahawk chop" in Cleveland. They just leave the tomahawk on their shoulder until the ump. calls them out!

ditto on mlb

I'm fine with telling MLB to F _ _ _ OFF! But my point was NOBODY is making money off empty stadiums. Not the NCAA schools, not pro sports. NFL makes enough off TV they can get by, but everybody else relies on attendance, and NOBODY (but the Rangers) are putting enough butts in the seats to cover costs.

Temporary government restrictions are the least of our concerns when it comes to attendance IMO, I've seen some pretty thin crowds the last few years, especially late in the season.

Losing causes attendance to drop you say?? Really? Thanks for the update Captain Obvious! What's also confusing me is I don't see how your comment isn't relevant to my comment. Are you telling me that government "oversite" has not reduced the football/basketball revenue at YSU? If so, I must respectfully disagree.

Well, the government restricts us to 3600 attendees in our stadium, we’re only averaging 2,063 per home game this year.

Restrictions discourage attendance. And the people who come to tailgate are.... let me count..............-0-
That discourages attendees too. Government restrictions restrict attendance. If you dispute that fine, we
will have to agree to disagree.

This government restrictions are political ploy to control the citizens because they were not based on science or balance of collective considerations and/or various aspects of the society.
The restrictions effectively killed the ticket sales on game day “walk up” attendance became zero.
My daughter told me that WV Governor announced that all restaurants are now allow to open @ 100% capacity for in door dining. However, the tables must still be 6 feet apart and no more than 7 people per table. So much for full capacity.
Because my daughter has an infant, her party had to sit in two separate tables, six feet apart. Really!
As Dr. Fauci said today, we still should not eat in door at a restaurant after full vaccination. What an idiot.
-
Look I’m honestly not trying to make a political statement, I’m just saying that we have bigger issues to deal with when it comes to attendance than restrictions during a wierd spring season. I’m way more concerned with what attendance looks like in the fall.
Though it is kind of amazing that it’s so low considering it’s the only football being played now, don’t even have tOSU to blame

The attendance for football, and both bb teams for that matter, has more to do with team records the past 10-15 years than temp restrictions this past year.

While clearly incorrect, you are free to walk around with crazy thoughts in your head. Ask yourself this, bb and fb are coming of terrible seasons, will attendance next year be lower (as you would predict) or higher than the past season? (as I predict)
