I hope opposing defenses do exactly what you say, stacking the box. I think if they pass with him on first down instead of waiting till 3rd down it will only open up the running game. I also agree that they need to use the TE's more

With SD crowding the line of scrimmage. Ricky has all day to throw when given the opportunity but for some reason the coaches are calling a very conservative game. Take what the defense is giving you.

Also noticed the transfer from Rutgers (Pollock) hasn't been on the sidelines yet. Heard he got a bad concussion anyone with any info

I'm pretty sure Pollock is going to redshirt. Harvin I thought was hurt and just got passed over by the rest of the WR's. Not sure about Sandidge

That's a smart move to redshirt him. Would be great to have him at LB next year with AD and Lee

Listened to the post game press show on the radio.  Coach Holgorsen was very kind and said good things about our effort. A couple of comments from him.  He thought we were well prepared and YSU came to play and it took a half to wake WVU up. The long passes for TD's were a result of our safeties having to come up to support our linebackers who could not plug the run holes.  Once they kept edging up, and they were involved in run stopping, and there was no threat of a blitz, their QB was able to launch his passes over our heads. he thought his team was conditioned well in the heat (none of WVU player had leg cramps) and it was just a matter of time when WVU would wear us down.  He was not happy with some calls from the officials but refused to comment on calls against YSU.  There were other comments but he seemed honest and fair in his press conference and heaped a lot of praise on YSU and said he knows we will have a successful season - we are good.

You bring up a good point about the safeties having to come up. It was obvious that we weren't getting any push up the middle from our LB. would a switch to a 3-4 defense have helped.
