Samford @ YSU 5pm Kickoff

[Double ET]

Tickets in hand!

Got my tickets yesterday. I will be going with my 2 sons from out of town. We used to go to all YSU home games and playoff home games when they were growing up. We all remember the game against Nova when Goode made the fourth down catch and Wilkins nailed the field goal into the wind.
Go  Penguins.

Boy, we really did have quite the fan-base. Boy how I wish that enthusiasm would return to the Ice Castle on Saturday:

There were the three famous 4th-down catches, I forget who was involved in two of these if anyone remembers:

1) in the 1997 title game that toss for the games only TD by Tidwell to Ray.

2) I think it against Marshall (but could have been Nova), where the 4th-down pass was caught about the 10. I remember he was completely extended and we thought he would land out of bounds. I was standing less than 10-yards away and I held my breath that it did not touch the ground.

3) The 4th-down toss that bounced of off 2 and was caught.

Can someone refresh me on 2 & 3? Stick or ET?

Samford fans seem to think if their offense is clicking, we will be in for a long game.

[Wick250]

We should concede that Samford's receivers are good and fast.  But Samford fans might be shocked with the toughness and lateral movement of our defense.  They might also be surprised with how difficult it will be for their receivers to gain much YAC on their short pass routes.  As always, this game will be determined by play in the trenches.  I expect that our linemen will have the advantage on both sides of the ball.

Give them all they want between the 20's and when it gets tighter and the routes are longer - send the house!  Hodges gets hit a couple of times by 9 and 11 - he will get gun shy. 

GO GUINS

Fan, sorry, I could not remember 2 & 3. I remembered the catch and Wilkin's kick against Nova because I was there. I still recall their QB was chasing the ref around the field after the kick arguing that there was still time left on the clock while the YSU fans were charging on to the field.

Control the line of scrimmage. Run behind the big uglies. Win the time of position and therefore win the game.
Go Guins

Thanks ET I know that the Williams catch is one of them. One was tipped and I am pretty certain it was Ray Issac that threw it.

[OleYSUfan]

Another great 4th qtr catch against Marshall was Ray Isaac's pass to Trent Boykin for 55 yds; it was an over the shoulder catch with double coverage. There was Herb Williams fantastic 33 yd catch in the end zone.

Thru the Tressel years there were many great catches in the play off games; Mark Brungard threw a 39 yd pass to Don Zwisher against Idaho to set up a touchdown run by Tamron Smith.

I have nearly all of YSU's championship and playoff games on VCR.

Might be a tough adjustment for these southern guys to throw and catch a cold wet football.
