I will be there! My main focus will be our running backs. Can't replace Jaleel, but we need performance from.our backs so our offense can be productive. I think the rest of our team has a chance to be very good, but without a strong run game, the team will be in trouble in tough games. It may take Brunguard at times at QB to save the run game.

Disappointing first half. Outside of the big run by King, YSU has been outplayed. Some bad penalties, a couple unsportsmanlike with one that will give Valpo 15 yards to start the 2nd half. Terrible ending to the half.

Less than impressive first half….  Very disappointing

Looking a bit better here so far in the second half. But... Losing Trowers for next week first half of Ohio State game for that targeting penalty is gonna be rough

No that’s a blessing in disguise. Less time to get injured.

Only successful result next week is low injuries

Also 17-10 at half is embarrassing.

It’s looks like coach reminded them at halftime that they are essentially playing a d3 team.

The 2nd Valpo TD is kind of on the DC.  Should've gone 2 deep and not get beat over the top after they got the 1st down.

I hate night games!

Game was too long, way too many reviews. Had to be at least 5.

Outplayed in the first half, not enough pressure rushing 4.

What a great 3rd qtr, must have been a great half time talk.

Defense and special teams set the tone for the second half

Go guins!

Less than impressive was the lack of crowd.  I know the fair is going on but true fans come out.  8600 fans on a opening night with great weather is unacceptable.   Hopefully the Robert Morris game draws 12 to 14k.  It's at 2pm.

I had the exact same observation with defensive pressure.  Couldn't get back there unless we sent the house.

I will say the LB play is looking spectacular.

That is a small crowd, we sit on the East side and the West side did look very sparce. On the upside I do not recall seeing as many students as there were last night. Our area was pretty full.
