Here’s a quick preview of the match up
https://www.videtteonline.com/sports/five-things-to-know-ahead-of-isu-footballs-matchup-with-youngstown-state/article_fcb1619c-5c85-11ed-a225-7f16b74fe6df.html
-
If the Ohio State game is any indication (both playing in Illinois with 40-50 mph wind), we can forget about throwing the ball. Let us focus on how to run the ball between and around the tackles.
OSU could only score 1 touchdown (running) in the first half.
-
As I have posted before, we don’t defend well with quick QB.
-
yes that looked so bad. They have obviously scouted us.
BTW, I had to activate my DVR on Roku and now I can sync up the Radio broadcast with the video.
-
What would we do without Jaleel.
-
Could be one of those games whoever has the ball last.
-
Gonna be a very interesting game.
-
They won't be able to stop us and same for YSU stopping them
-
We just stopped them
-
Piss poor video.. damn.
-
Throw short passes and run the ball outside. These guys are not that quick.
-
Piss poor video.. damn.
Video quality is good. The camera operators sucked
-
Well, I get the two 4th down conversions have worked now... And it's tough to punt into the wind like we are going against right now... But I'm not sure about going for it every 4th down lol
-
Unbelievable.
-
There have been more stops on both sides defensively than it seemed there would be lol
-
Well, have to hope this injury isn't serious
-
That punt mistake is huge
-
It seems like they can do anything against out d.
-
Another 4th down but timeout us. I bet they score on the next play.
-
That muffed punt is going to be extremely costly
-
Lost our offensive possession with wind at back in shorter field position
-
I think between that and losing Mitch Davidson ysu is about to be in trouble. We won't score before halftime... And they get ball after half
-
Well, Mitch Davidson is back in. That's good
-
We are working way too hard to be so mediocre. The defense has the right coverages, but no power. ILS hits the line for what should be 1/2 yard gain at most and then pick-up 3 out of it. There is no way you can win a game like that. Trying to be too balanced on offense. We need to either ram it down their throats or just fire it down field. They are going to box us up all day & we have no power run game. At least get some WR power sweeps in there.
-
MD’s brief injury could have costed us some points. The fumbled punt costed us 7 points. That was a potential 10 or 14 points swing and changed the momentum of the game.
After MD’s return, it looked like he was hesitant to run for the 1st down. I hope he was ok.
-
Have we even converted 1/3 downplay yet?
-
I'm so confused... Didn't Illinois state defer to the second half? How did ysu get the first possession of the second half?
-
11 has to be the worst corner
-
MD needs to be able to get rid of the ball
-
We just can’t keep losing yardage and put us in a hole.
-
Zero third down conversions
-
YSU should of been going up tempo in the 3rd having the wind at their back.
-
Our defense just sucks
-
For God sake get us an offensive coordinator!
-
ISU just wanted to survive the 3rd quarter, if we cannot score on this quarter, we don’t have much of a chance in the 4th. Our D is visibly tired.
-
Why field the ball inside the 5 ?
-
Wind!!!!
-
Why field the ball inside the 5 ?
Who knows? I think even the 3rd string Junior HS player would let that one go into the end zone.
-
How many times are we going to fall for the qb option
-
We give up a 17 yard run?
-
Fat lady singing
-
If we can’t stop 3rd and 17, we don’t deserve to win this game.
-
#25 caught 2 punts inside the 5, fumbled 1 punt and committed a 15 yds unsportsmanlike conduct.
He pretty much single handly cost us the game.
-
WOW
-
Double wow
-
fat lady is singing now, but for Ill State! Unbeliveable!
-
Amazing
-
Why not kick the extra point?
-
Fat lady had a stroke !
-
Proud of the fight in this team! Also amazing, winning in the 4th quarter reminds me of the tressel teams of old.
-
Kudos to Oliver for redeeming himself
-
Why not kick the extra point?
I think they tried to avoid a block the PAT to score 2 points and tied the game. Good coaching
-
I didn’t see the one coming. I also did see the one at WIU coming either.
We must have changed OC the last 2 minutes of the game. Otherwise, why would MD allow to pass in the middle of the field….
-
Long way from a great team but FAR better than the last couple seasons!
We did nothing the whole second half until inside 2 min. Unbelievable. Building culture. Something Bo never did. Class coach VS no class. Makes a difference.
-
The helmet
-
At least a split of the last two games probably gets us in! though I want them both!

Agree
-
Not to say I told you so, but we are getting better. 2 more recruiting classes and we will be outstanding!

I’m with ya. Not sure about outstanding though. Someone on FB added the quote from Bowden. First you lose big, then lose close, then win close and finally win big. Not saying we are ready for playoffs or anything else BUT there is SOMETHING going on here that is positive. Sure, we aren’t beating DSU’s but something just MAY be brewing for a brighter future. Go GUINS.
-
A W is a W! And that’s 4 in a row. I’ll take it!
-
Big win!! I think we will be ranked or getting votes to be ranked.

The last 2 weeks help define a culture and are steps in the right direction. Us older fans were spoiled during the Tressel era and then we fell back to mediocrity the past 22 years other than the 2 playoff seasons. Do I expect another Tressel era? Nope. But all I ask is we are competitive and have a chance to make the playoffs more than twice in 22 years. Winning is contagious they say. But crap so is losing in my book. These next few weeks will define what we are. November was always the Tressel eras best month. If we win out would be an amazing thing for the program the fans and breathe some new life into football program and spark some interest

Amen to that!

To put this accomplishment into perspective, Ohio State played in the same vicious wind in Chicago and scored only 21 points against lowly Northwestern. That makes our drive into that wind in the closing minute even more impressive.
A special Penguin thank you to the Illinois State player that was called for holding as they attempted to run out the clock. If not for your generous gift, we would have got the ball back with about 26 seconds left instead of 66.
Since we won I will bring this up. As several mentioned during the game, that was a pathetic technical broadcast. Illinois State University should be ashamed to hire such an obviously incompetent production crew.
-
Is this a signature win? Not sure but it was possibly important and it was a 4th quarter championship style drive.
-
Last drive, into the wind mind you, no time-outs, 8 plays 80 yards 56 seconds!
Not saying that we are top 5 yet but you just have to be impressed with the last three games. The 2 games in Illinois both came down to against the odd drives, but we showed composure, did not panic and got the win. Credit to the players but also to the staff, maybe DP is on to something.
Not there yet but heading in the right direction.
-
Still not sold on this coaching but we'll see. Imagine if they would've started the QB who could actually throw from the beginning of the season...

Absolutely. 3 losses, 1 obviously to top 10 Kentucky team at the time which I think we could’ve made interesting if Davidson starts.
Same with NDSU and the ND was a game we were up in the second half. So our 3 losses weren’t terrible. Next 2 games will be very telling.
-
One other thing I would like to note is that this YSU team is physical as hell. The strength coach needs some props. We just haven't seen this in so many years. Someone on here said it reminded them of Tressel teams. I agree with that statement. We have a long way to go to become contenders, but we are much,much better than last year. We need 2 more monster recruiting classes. Need to fix the corners, get another QB and RB and deepen the lines.

Actually you brought a very good point. Ohio states weaknesses are glaring and they played against a good coach. That was a much bigger factor than the wind. Same thing with Youngstown State as impressed as I was with that final drive you cannot ignore the fact that we went half the second quarter and almost the entire second half Without any kind of drive and almost no first downs. The only third down we converted the entire game was that catch in the Endzone. We have a lot of work to do if we pull off these next two games it will be very difficult for the selection committee to keep us out of the postseason
-
Why the Nazi censorship that can help people? Whomever deleted those posts suffers from cognitive dissonance. It's not political, they are facts people are facing and has an impact on the game and the fans. Whatever loser.
It has no impact on the game whatsoever. Who do you think you’re fooling other that many dumb people? There’s a general BS section down at the bottom of the board put it there absolutely nothing and I mean absolutely nothing but YSU sports goes in this board. Nothing else
-
There is a thread for sports and a thread for non-sports, everyone should be happy about that.
-
Yep back to sports Go YSU!!!

Unbelievable win again! But luck follows better teams and seems to go against weaker team. We know about both sides of that equation. MD can make some outstanding throws when the protection is good and he sets his feet and at times has trouble with blitzes and strong pressure. But so do most all QBs. Our O line disappointed me on Saturday, but are way better this year than last. Blitz pick up is shaky and number 8 is not big enough to provide a strong extra hand. And when we go empty backfield we are inviting a blitz and strong pressure. Still need more growth there. On D our D line seems good, but we sure fell for the QB option around the ends. Not sure who's responsibility it is, but they missed it often. Our pass rush is ok and coverage is at times also, but we have trouble with tall receivers and our shorter D backs in coverage. We need a few more of number 2 in the D backfield to cover the taller receivers. And our zone coverage is mostly not that great. But we do enough to win and the players don't give up. The coaches are building as can be seen with our results later in the year. Sure wish we had MD as the starter all year to get the experience he needs. But he has done great under a tough situation. Now we need to clean up some of the errors and get two more good showings and wins.
