I thought the defense was spectacular. Streveler prolly has PTSD now from Moss and Rivers. I don't fault Jameel Smith for wanting to take his pic to the house instead of downing in in the end zone. Loved the enthusiasm. The Powell pic 6 was awesome.
What game did you watch today? Defense was spectacular ... LOL. We were beat up top and on the ground today. They waltzed down the field on us and we were hapless to stop them. They lined up twins against us, just like WVU. On over half of those we went into single coverage.
Offensive play-calling was terrific, who are you guys kidding, we were all over them. One of you complains about being too conservative, then in the same breath complain about throwing late in the game. Why complain ...we needed a score, what the hell else did you want him to do? Wick you open up a negative post with how the offense gained 450 yards, then insult your OC ...that makes real sense.
We held the ball for over 38-minutes. Yet despite this, USD had 13-drives
Youngstown State 1 13:01 2:14 USD39 6 39 TD
Youngstown State 1 08:13 4:33 YSU29 10 62 FG

Youngstown State 3 14:54 6:23 YSU19 12 50 DOWNS
-Terrible effort. I will even grant you the fact that I would have tried more outside run game, but USD was so much faster than we were, I can see why we did not do it.

Here is a simple rule of football that has stood the test of time for close to a century:
A complete drive for a TD is 80-yards (actually now it is 75). That is a kick into the end-zone.
A complete drive for a FG is 50-yards (actually now it is 40). The is making it to the 35-yard-line.
YSU Today:450-yards offense/75 = 6-touchdowns. 6-TDS x 7-points = 42-points. This is a minimum effort
Our offense only produced 23-points off of 450-yards today and YOU ARE BLAMING THE OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR? Are you kidding me? Did you even go to the game? If so did you even watch it, or were you throwing back cold-ones in the tailgate lots during the game. This team is simply not ready to play with the big boys. We still played our safeties in run support because we cannot guard a rushing QB, which in today's world is every single team outside of the xDSU's, Cardinal Mooney and Canfield.
Get with the program, your OC gave you every opportunity in the world to waltz off with 49-points today (if you include the pick-6) and we simply could not do it, as our offense does not execute well. We simply have no secondary and thus no defense until it is time for nickel and dime packages. Now late today we were able to bring pressure early against an outmatched and exhausted USD offensive front; but we need to do this all of the time without the help of our secondary!!
You have the #11 ranked offense (#3 in rushing, yet you complain about running the ball Wick), yet our pass game is not even ranked in the top half of the nation; this despite the fact that our team attempts 25 pass plays per game? Your QB controls the offense at YSU & is given plenty of opportunity from Montgomery ...he is not finishing the job. HE IS SIMPLY A QB THAT IS PLAYING HIS 3RD CAREER DI GAME. DEAL WITH IT ...Montgomery does every day, despite your b****ing.
While I am at it:
Score by quarters 1st 2nd 3rd 4th Total
Youngstown State 34 41 21
38 134
Opponents 13 14 26 21 74
Seems to me that our 4th-quarter is pretty good. Don't you wish your defense was doing the same?
