YSU Penguin Athletics / Re: Valeo week

Bad loss for quins....?.
What?  We won, you're kidding? I was sure we lost reading this.  For those of you new to YSU football, the D last year was awful. 10 new starters. It will take a while to get good.   
I don't get the coaching critics at all? Timeouts? Game plans?  You've lost me.

Should be healthy and ready to go. Much different team than least game last year. Should be much better on D and run game. Not as good passing. Villanova has a bunch back and Should contend in playoffs. We should know a lot more about quins after game.

There are not seven receivers in CLE better than Oliver. That statement covers at least half the teams in nfl.

YSU Football has a lot of work to do to become relevant in a watered down FCS.   The coach is solely responsible for 3 thgs that need to happen or the decline worsens.
1. Recruit/retain talent
2. Accountability in coaching staff
3. NIL secure money for the program

Decline worsens?  We made the second round of thebplayoffs. What decline are you talking about?  Good grief, our defense sucked. Phillips cleared out most of the d and restocked from every option. Recruites, por5al transfersvfrom above and below.  I think coachnis doing a great job.

I totally agree with YsuGo.   Defense will need to be better.  Brutal schedule and many difficult road games.  I said it last time 6-6 at the best.

I love this blog. Complain that d is bad and need improvements, yet b****, b****nwhen we get rid of plays from d and bring in replacements!  What do you want fans, bad players to get good?  I give Phillips credit. Try something else.

So if we are doing so well why do so many football players transfer out?   Cannot be making more somewhere else right?

I continue to belive that most of out transfers out went with our blessing. We lost a bunch of defensive players from a bad defense. I can only think of one los I wish had stayed.

Is this fact or just an opinion.  I hope you are right but I find it hard to think that the coaching staff felt that it was good that last seasons starters on defense were better off transferring and that they could replace  them with better players from the transfer portal.   I'd be curious which guys are an up grade on the Dline or linebackers.   Especially since the guys that transferred went to actual D1 programs like Kansas,Illinois and Duke.

I would have had Wodke and Howard back even though Dylan's production dropped way off in 2023. We lost a bunch of DBs that couldn't cover me. When somebody says "I continue to believe"  a reasonable person would assume its an opinion. Your "fact" question is ignored and unappreciated.

We talk about rebuilding and defensive concerns. Last year's D was terrible. Most of what we lost couldn't play.
D is better because of the portal. King will help (I thought this was understood all year last season as a covid year?)
Biggest lose is Oliver. I think he can play on Sunday, and won't be an easy replacement. beau should be fine and don't. Ount out Shannon.

Ok. Now that we got another disappointing basketball season behind us. Time to focus on spring ball and who our starting QB is going to be!  Looking forward to spring practice and see who starts to make some moves.

Go Guins!

Ending was disappointing but with 4 new players, a 20 win season after last year's record season was NOT another disappointing basketball season. That being said , I really look forward to football. Absolutely should be playoffs again.

WIth upper bleachers folded up cap6icity couldn't be  more than 4800-5000. That being said, that would be our biggest crowd in a while.

This is like loosing most of the D players. We ain't loosing much. Special teams have been OK but D not so much. Ufortunate,y we will have all new players and all new coaches defensively and new QB RB and WR.  Might be a tough start to the season.

Took this team a few weeks to get on the same page but in the middle of the season we are playing better than we were in the middle of last year. Sure would like to win the tournament!
