UNI in conference play

[UNI83]

I read reading a preview from a YSU reporter on the YSU board that I had been linked too and this line stood out to me. As much as we struggled with turnovers in the OOC, conference play is much different



In conference play, UNI is ranked first in scoring defense (20.5 per game), second in total defense (332 per game), first in rushing offense (263.8 per game), first in rushing defense (69.2 per game), first in sacks (17) and first in turnover margin (plus-three).

Wow. reading those quotes it is confirmed. UNI will get the Penguins' A+ game. I don't hear fear in those quotes, I hear a healthy respect that has been put their by their coaching staff. They've been looking forward to this game at their place, UNI is public enemy #1 in Youngstown.

Anyone with an education or a future is public enemy #1 in Youngstown.

From senior cornerback Brandian Ross, “They’re one of the fastest [teams] I’ve probably ever seen in my four years of playing here.”

From senior wide receiver Dominique Barnes, “Everybody knows Northern Iowa is probably the best team in our conference.”

From head coach Eric Wolford, “Of the teams we’ve played so far, they have the best players in the league, no question about that. They are talented at every spot.”


“They had nine guys from last year’s team sign NFL contracts or get into camp,” said Wolford. “That tells me where their program is at. And when I watch them [this year], I see a bunch of players out there that’ll get a chance to play on Sunday.”

I'd say they have this game circled. Some great respect being shown by them.

Re: UNI in conference play

Seems like they have too much good to say, almost more of a reverence than respect.
