Has YSU, not picked up a 3rd-down-conversion yet?

I don't think. They are moving the ball at will right now.

I know in colleges crazy offenses work, but just from a selfish viewpoint.. I like watching NFL-style offenses 9999 times more

I guess that makes me a yinzer lol

The structure in the NFL is great, but you have to love some of the awesome plays/formations you see in college. For the most part its kids who wont go pro playing the game they love like its still backyard football and sometimes the plays reflect that.

That's true, but just about every college kid aspires to play football professionally, regardless of how unrealistic those dreams may be, that's why I think the NFL, pro-style offense is usually more appealing to recruits.

The sad thing is, the secondary was supposed to be a strength of this team.

[skullman80]

Defense looks really really bad right now.

YSU back up again.

I was kind of worried when I kept seeing Tags promoted as this amazing player. He seems like a great kid / he's a nice player, but he's far from a superstar imo

[Old Time Hockey]

The D looks lost and they are embarrassing themselves. Who is the D coordinator?

[skullman80]

Graham looked good on that cutback.

He kind've is the 'leader' of this team, at least from an emotional stand-point, but other than that, he's not an elite football player.

Nice run by Graham, cut-backed, changed directions.

Thats the Tino I know Wide Open guys and he either under or overthrows them

[skullman80]

Theres the Tino we know and love.. wide open guy.. overthrow.

[skullman80]

... and he injures Street because of his bad throw.

[Member]

Dave Huxtable, Wisconsin's linebackers' coach last year.

Can't believe I'm saying this, he still looks slightly more poised than what he did last year, but that's not the highest of standards.

[Old Time Hockey]

Let's Go D. Get a stop

He hasn't played awful, by his standards at least, but man oh man when you have a guy wide open like that for a TD you HAVE to hit that play.

Dont forget they are playing Youngstown State. There D is awful. They said earlier that they allowed 20 or fewer points in only 2 games last year

Like that's going to happen.

I know, clearly the offense is Youngstown State's strength, I don't care how many starters they have returning, it's inexcusible to let them move the football on horrible turf at Heinz Field at will.

Yes, ESPN 3's feed is usually quite horrible, as is NBC sports..

[Old Time Hockey]

Tackle somebody. That guy just dragged you 3 yards

[Old Time Hockey]

The wide receivers are just blowing past Pitts Secondary

Unacceptable, knowing that Street was wide open, plus Sunseri's a senior at this point (thankfully), he should know better.

It's not like Pitt's defensive line is generating any form of pass-rush either.

Holy Crap
