If you read in between the lines Coach says Crenshaw is the guy. If that’s the case and no injury problem then take the training wheels off and call plays to use his athleticism.  Sidebar:  From what I see of Davidson is nothing exceptional.  Seemed to have a weak arm?  Am I wrong there.  But I agree it seemed the team responded to him and got a lift when his number was called.

Wick you are right.  Good coaches coach to a players strengths and adjust to it.  If Crenshaw is a Michael Vick wannabe then do what Virginia tech did build the offense to his running abilities and dummy the offensive scheme up.  He was told to read one side of the field and no more than look at his first two options then RUN.

Our conference had a year of tape on Crenshaw.  The flaws are obvious.  Poor arm mechanics and footwork and not able to make his reads quickly to make an efficient decision.  Davidson is our only option and he has issues too. It bums me because this becomes a wasted year. Qb is so important.  We don’t have the enough talent for a game manager like Davidson. But Crenshaw isn’t effective in this offense.  Not sure he would be effective in any D1 offense.  Don’t know how we can recruit 8 qb’s and they all suck.

Coach said earlier this week how proud he is to coach these kids and they will battle hard.  Not sure why hr felt to say that unless he know how this will play out.  I think we all know how it will end.  He hasn’t had a signature win yet.  With that offensive coordinator not sure he will get one. 

Qb’s on roster:  Crenshaw, Davidson,  Blanc,  Brungard.

Not a strong group.  Is Brungard a D1 Qb? 

Who is ultimately responsible for the recruiting on Qb’s at YSU?

Power good insight.  I’m still on the fence as Philips is a good recruiter.  We had a great Recruiter who was one of the best in the country named Wolford. Is Phillips better I don’t feel he is at the level.  I watched a lot of our conference playing the last few weeks and I still feel we are still not talented enough.  Funny how Wolfords issue was defense and not finishing games but we could score points.  Our issue seems to be the opposite now.  But too be successful in this era you need a qb that’s accurate and can make his reads quickly and have mobility.  You need to have a qb that can do at least 2 of those attributes to be successful our last Qb that had that was Wells and he got us to the finals.  Crenshaw only had 1 of those.  He’s an athlete period.  Phillips needs to really go out and sell some kid that has those qualities quickly and get the offense fixed.  If not we will never be more than a 4, 5, 6 win team with what is going on no matter how good the D is

Was never onboard with this coaching hire.  Supposed to be a great l
Recruiter but we couldn’t find a D1 QB even with transfer portal. I quess what QB in his right mind would want to
Run this offense.

Not going to be kind here. Yes it’s an SEC team.  Kudos to the new D coach give him a raise.  Give a sh**bag to the offensive coach’s and the HC the offense playbook and game plan is not D1 grade.  The QB experiment with Crenshaw so far gets. D-.  We didnt devise a way to try to even be competitive let alone try to win.  Someone said why can’t we be like Appy state or all the other schools we used to be beat that beat D1 schools and moved up.  It’s called recruiting and good coaching and we lack both. Since Wolford we have slid so far .  So far what I have seen with this guy.  All BS so far.  Changing culture etc.  Then play to win that would be a start.  This is like watching the titanic movie and the band is playing while the ship is sinking as the captain is drinking his cup of tea.  So sad.

Chief hit it in the nose.  When we beat Pitt Hess had a decent game and if I remember right some good play calling.

So far D is playing well.  We need a big play on offense and some first downs here

We have no. Chance.  I witnessed the win at Pitt.  Winning against a power 5 school like that was like winning a championship

That was Wolfords signature win at YSU.  I really thought we would make the playoffs that year.  We know how that went.   I don’t feel we have nearly the talent we had then and he recruited some horses for the O line.  Anyways I feel that will be the last win against a power 5 team ever. I expect Kentucky to take away the run game and force our D2 QB to pass!

Most casual fans could careless about FBS.
Most casual local fans could careless or know we play in the Missouri valley conference or how tough of a football league it is
We have no real rivals in the Missouri Valley and so we will never see or get the casual fan. 
Translation declining attendance lack of interest from fans and media. 
This program has done squat since we have been in this conference And all we have become is everyone’s homecoming game.

I love YSU and it hurts to say that.
