UNI vs. YSU

[JayJ79]

there will be some people who bring their towels back for this game. though I really doubt there will be near the number as at homecoming.
Made for a neat effect, but as others have noted, many people seemed to busy waving their towels to yell and cheer and clap and make NOISE

[UNIAlum95]

wonder if there will be towels again or something else ,

I'd love to see the students pounding on the backs of the seats in front of them. Since they aren't sitting in them, imagine the entire student section pounding on the metal seats. I bet that would make a ton of noise. Just a thought.

Agree....gonna be a crazy place...

[84Alum]

I'm guessing...like others have mentioned...that it will be louder than SIU because even though there will be some towels back...most of them won't make it...and that difference will mean hands clapping...louder...crazier...woohoo! I can't wait!

Student turn out wont be as good for this one.

"I am not so certain, however. I know all the statistics point towards a UNI dominating win but something tells me this game will be close and I am sure YSU will bring their best game of the year to Cedar Falls. I like Youngstown by a late field goal to keep their playoff hopes alive. YSU 27 UNI 24."

Even if YSU brings their best game, I still don't think they can pull it out.

I would be surprised if UNI only scored 24. To me the only way we lose is if we come out like WIU or ND last year...thinking that by just showing up we'll win. I doubt Sanders and the other seniors will allow this to happen.
Go Panthers, and is it Saturday yet?

TSN's prediction

No. 20 Youngstown State (5-3, 1-2) at No. 1 Northern Iowa (7-0, 3-0)

After going to the national semifinals last year, Youngstown State needs to win out in its final three games just to make the playoffs. That is a tough order going to what will be a sold-out UNI Dome. The Penguins have dropped six straight games to UNI and three in a row in Cedar Falls. In the past three games, YSU narrowly lost to Southern Illinois, struggled to beat Southern Utah by a single point (24-23) and lost to Illinois State. Defense has become a problem for the Penguins, who have given up 383 yards per game in that streak. That doesn't bode well for playing the top team in FCS. Northern Iowa beat Western Illinois 42-3 last week, almost completely shutting down the Leatherneck offense over the last three quarters. Eric Sanders (77% passing) and Courtney Lewis (821 yards, six yard average, eight TDs) lead the offense. The Panthers are third in scoring defense (13 points per game) and sixth in rushing defense (89 yards), nationally.

Northern Iowa 31, Youngstown State 17

No kidding. I know Kent Schmidt and he is a super guy. He's been to a number of UNI games. Given that, I always chuckle when writers say "...but something tells me...", especially if they know what UNI can do. He has the knowledge, he knows the stats and the wins and losses, what makes someone pick against UNI in this one? Hunches?

YSU is much weaker this year and UNI is much stronger. The guys gotta keep the heat turned up every game and they'll win out.

Puzzling.

UNI 40
YSU 13

Since everyone is picking UNI to win this game, if he picks UNI too he's just going to be one of the crowd if they win. Now if he picks YSU and by some miracle they win, he looks like a genius and if they lose, he doesn't look too bad because UNI was expected to win.

UNI is always up for Youngstown. I think if both of us were winless, our team would still be pumped for this game.

[Dome fan]

I would love to see another dominating performance like last week but I'll be just as happy with a win too.

We'll stop their run and with their young O line and we'll get lots of pressure on thier Q back. I think we could have another dominating game.
