Youngstown State @ UNI

[Herdman]

I always like playing YSU. They seem to always have a nice, physical runner/run game and hard hitting defense. Although they have not had a lot of success against the Panther, they generally seem to be a team that will compete and play at a high level.

I am looking forward to seeing how the Panthers bounce back, meaning what the attitude will be like going forward. I'm looking for that senior leadership to keep things cool and business as usual.

Yesterday was the first day of the second part of the regular season. It's time to get back on track and take care of business to a strong finish before the New Season starts.

Go Panthers!

UNI snapped their losing streak to SIU / coach Lennon
NDSU / Bohl snapped their losing streak to UNI
hopefully that trend doesn't continue on to UNI's winning streak over the Penguins.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

Our beat reporter wrote this after the loss to SDSU:
“Youngstown State’s playoff hopes died suddenly Saturday afternoon at their home at Stambaugh Stadium. They were five games old. A coroner determined that several factors contributed to the cause of death, including ill-advised penalties, poor pass coverage, turnovers and an inability to score touchdowns in South Dakota State territory.”

Well three weeks later we have won three in a row and our first team defense has given up 6-3-0 points in the past 5 halves of football. Our offense is now the #2 total and scoring offense in the FCS at 488 yards per game and 40 points per game respectively.

UNI has won eleven in a row against the Penguins, but many, including last year, were extremely close and went down to the wire. YSU is beginning to get some momentum and are extremely confident.

Should be a very close game next week. Not sure if we can pull it off though. Thinking a 28-24 type score. Join our discussion over on LetsGoGuins! http://www.letsgoguins.com/forums/vi....php?f=2&t=453

Huge, huge game for UNI. We need to rebound, and we have to be better this week. YSU is a very good team, and very capable. They are good enough to beat us, and I hope that our team is prepared for that kind of game.

If we blow this game, this season is looking more and more like '09. Have to come out and prove that we are as good as some think we are this week.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

My biggest concern, as others have stated, is how we bounce back. We were playing down last week, and I'm not sure what happened to us yesterday. If we can get our heads straight and perform to our best abilities Saturday, I'll have a better feeling about the rest of the season. If we come out like whipped dogs and play not to lose, I'll miss listening to football in December.

Very accurate assessment. Our offense is starting to look less intimidating each week. Some of that is player performance, a lot of it is goofy play calling. Too many gimmick plays sometimes.

Not against NDSU. 100% passing on 1st down. 90% running on second down. Only ran 1 seem route all day and that kid fell down in open field. Now granted, I did not see 100% of the offensive plays because I am od and had to go to the bathroom a couple times, but what I posted is what I saw.

And yes, I know it is WIU we are talking about here. But you can see how explosive our offense can be.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

Last time we beat you guys.... boy it has been THAT long!


Crowd of 21,119 set stadium and conference record. I'd imagine that remains true today since the FargoDome does not seat more than 19,000.


Of course the FG controversy in 2004 losing 22-20 (roughing the kicker my ass lol), the 31-23 loss in 2006, the 14-13 loss in 2007, the 21-20 loss in 2008, the 34-30 loss last year. YSU needs to just get over that hump and beat you guys!

Hey coach - raise your hand if you've caused any major upheavals recently in a university's NCAA standing. Oh....I see you've got two hands up....OK.
