Youngstown State @ UNI

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

The first TD pass to Sink was pretty sick.

The amount off Receiving talent on this team is unlimited, but OL play and which QB is in the game is still a challenge for this team.

Sinkfields second TD catch was sick ! just watched the replay again he reached around the db and caught it with one hand

agree, my point, was the first TD was the longest ball in air pass I'd seen in a long time. Many of the long pass plays of late have been alot of yards after catch.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

The play calling puts us in tuff positions, we came out throwing this game did ok, then we try to establish a run game. Keep doing what works every game is different. even with Rennie why not keep passing till the run opens up, u can't force the run to open up especially with an o-line not clicking. For about the last three r four weeks we've had the most three n outs i've ever witnessed we won't get anywhere like that our defense will not continue 2 last like that. That all falls on the offensive coaches, weather the line is blocking are not its there job to find a way to make it work, coaches make the schemes.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

Think outside the box our Coaching is to set in its ways, teams have been seeing the same play calling since week one time to throw in something new

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

The coaches don't have the balls to call the plays that they called for Lampher, for Rennie which i don't understand. If he improved so much u should be able to trust him being ur starting Qb to make any play in ur play book period. Stop limiting what ur Qb can to n just go out n call a great game r start playing the 2 Qb game again. we will not get out the first round if the coaches don't start calling better games....we did not win youngstown gave us the game.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

West side looked pretty spotty on TV too. After halftime you could definitely tell the students had left the building.

It's too bad that the fan support just isn't there. The Panthers have a great program going and to not sell out in this area is sad. And I am just amazed that for $8 you can get women's basketball season tickets. These are good, affordable sporting events that deserve better fan turnout. Starts with the students and goes from there.

West side looked spotty at the ends when it was shown on the big screen in the Dome. East side didn't have the middle reds and blues below the concourse filled before game time. Another pathetic performance from the students and the Cedar Valley. I had more confidence that warranted, expecting attendance to be >13,000. oops. You want non-scholarship football? Keep up the UNI fan shuffle: Aw it was cold, didn't want to tailgate in the cold, I drank too much during the Iowa game, We lost to the Bison, We suck. Insert other reasons for 'UNI fans' not attending UNI games:

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

UNI IMO goes way out of the way to establish the run when it obviously isn't there. So many times the other team stuffs the box with single coverage on the outside and we keep hammering it up the middle over and over. I would like to see UNI audible out of that more and take some shots. I think that would open up the ground attack more than running into a brick wall over and over.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

IMO the attendance is about what I expected. It is a fact that over the years we only consistently get huge crowds when we have special teams (92, 96, 07). We are the ultimate bandwagon.

Last weeks loss sealed small crowds from here on out. I think that next week would have been around 9000 if not for the fact The Courier doing their $10 ticket promotion again. We will probably get a crowd similar to yesterday's...

It just seems like this program's sizzle died in Normal in 2009...

Good god people...

We have had 3 near sellouts and one sub par attendance game. Enough with the sky is falling overreactions.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

My thoughts on today's game:

Playcalling: UNI actually had 1 running play to the left that gained 20 yards, only to be negated by a holding call. NEVER ran that direction again.

Personal foul penalties: A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM does NOT commit them. THEY HAVE TO STOP! HOW many times have we given the opponent good/better/best field position on a stupid personal foul penalty this year?!? We are in week 9 of the season and the team still doesn't have this figured out??? And what is the coaching staff doing to reduce them?

I thought last week that maybe we were getting a handle on this, but maybe that is because the opposing team got twice as many as UNI.

I too, could not BELIEVE that YSU got called for NOT A SINGLE PENALTY until less than 5 minutes was left in the game. However, the 2 that were called led to the game-winning touchdown.

karma at its finest

I have to agree. We are just too predictable. We do not seem to be putting any pressure on the defense with our scheme.

I would let either Rennie or Lanpher throw it to sting the defense. Make them back off and then run against more favorable match-ups.

We have the weapons. I'd like to see more jet action with Herrig coming in motion for a possible sweep on about 1/3 of our plays. Pre-occupy one defender with that alone.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

Lanpher was named MVFC "Newcomer of the Week".
YSU's punter (and kickoff guy) got "Special Teams Player of the Week"

Huh, it will be Senior Night and that typically brings outs a good crowd, especially being the last regular season home game. Last year's final regular season home had an attendance of 14892 and that was for a 6-3 UNI team that ranked outside the top 10. This year's game will feature a 7-2 team that will possibly be ranked as high as #4 with App State and Maine losing. Even with the later start time, I think we will see at least 13000 for this game and not surprised if its over 14000-15000.

Re: Youngstown State @ UNI

Personally I would like to see this game with 16K or more, with some people actually tailgating before there was no body out there yesterday.

I agree with this. 3 great attended games and one meh one. No big deal
