NDSU Gameday

[peteonastick]

Since the other posts are full of medical experts espousing about masks and a virus, I thought I would start a post on the actual gameday thoughts and expectations.  Here is what I am looking for:

1.  Coaching presence and motivation of team - how will the coaches handle adversity because we know we are going to have it this spring?  Management of clock.  Some sign of a plan and strategy for putting talent in winning situations. 
2. Any sign of glimmers of talent or play from positions and players?  Who will shine today?  Who will be a bust?
3. Coach play calling - offense and defense.  Will we be in at least the right positions today to make plays? Not panicking!  Reinforcing young mistakes instead of berating them as we have had in the past. 
4.  O Line - subbing and ability to stay together as a unit.
5.  Defense - secondary - can they cover?  Can they make plays on the ball instead of having back to QB all day?
6.  Keeping up with the pace of the game!
7. Injuries - keep to minimum this game and rest of spring. 

Lots to look for and looking forward to YSU football again. 

GO GUINS

Go Penguins

Does any one know if the broadcast on WBCB and ESPN+ will essentially be the same (WBCB to carry ESPN+ feed)? Or will we have our own people doing the play by play on WBCB?

Win Lose or Draw, thank god one of the longest off-seasons in YSU football history is over!

Holy sh*t, throw the ball!!

[Buddy]

This is terrible

[Buddy]

WTF?

[Double ET]

What was calling these dumb plays.

[ytownchief22]

Gonna be a long year folks. Especially if you cannot complete a pass.

Phillips is a JT wannabee.

[Double ET]

If we are not going to pass, put in the running QB.

[Buddy]

Yeah I am not impressed

I was surprised that a D2 transfer would get most of the carries so far, but I just looked up McLaughlin and he was by far the best RB in all of D2 last year. Nice addition to our backfield for sure:

First in All-Purpose Yards; only player to secure 2,000
First in Rushing Yards; only player to secure 2,000
Second in Rushing Touchdowns with 30
First in Total Touchdowns with 33
First in Scoring with 198 points (14.1 points/game)
Sixteenth in Yards Per Carry with an average of 6.71

17 minutes into the game.   Zero passes

[ytownchief22]

This is embarrassing. Zero passes even attempted!

Are we in 1990?
