Don't worry all will be gone by 3rd quarter.  SDU will put a beat down on us.  55-17.

Since SDSU is ranked #1, out of respect, I pick 45-21

Traditionally, South Dakota is a poor road team. They have never won in Youngstown. If we had a below average defense, we just might be able to outscore them. Of course, our defense is not below average; it is putrid, the worst by far in the history of YSU football.

Our best defense may be a time-consuming offense.

To do that, we need to throw some longer passes down field. Unfortunately, we have not shown any ability to do that thus far this season. SDU will assign someone to focus on BB throughout the game.
Go penguins.

Remember they are 4th in the country and we are terrible.   They have the best back in the conference and we suck at run defense.  Hence unless the bottom falls out we will lose big time.

Our defense is allowing 38 points per game, 73 to Pitt and 63 last week to SDSU.  I would guess USD will score no less than 50 tomorrow evening.  No worries though Phillips has the team following the process. 

WHAT IF THE PROCESS IS WRONG?

Yep, Each press conference, he said the same thing…follow the process, execute the game plan, focus on the fundamentals, play the correct position, get the ball to the open receives, have had good practices during the week, have made improvements from previous week, we do well during practice but must execute during the game…. If we can do that, everything should be ok…

Did I miss anything?

You missed one thing!  The offense looks good in practice because they are going against the same defense that allows 38 points per game. 

SMOKE AND MIRRORS every press conference.

Trying to be objective, what would everyone expect DP to say? I am as frustrated as anyone, but I would expect him to be positive for the sake of the players if no one else.

Can a connected poster confirm the universities commitment to Phillips?
