Samford vs YSU

[Penguin Nation]

If anything at YSU is suspect it is their QB situation.

No wait, he's the second coming of Ron Jaworski. He threw for a blistering 157 yards against MSU. NFL scouts are blowing up his phone.

Believe it or not I heard one of the ESPN 3 (MO State guys) say something to that effect.

They gotta start drug testing these announcers. The best was when the TV color analyst said RMU and YSU was a great rivalry.

Samford throws a lot of passes which approximate an option pitch. They are one of the few teams that can complete three forward passes and not get a first down.

Miss one tackle against those passes and they have a long gain.

YBR would know better than me but I thought YSU's defense is solid in all phases. Their front is especially good though and their DEs are monsters so Samford's QB will need to get rid of the ball quickly if they can't run the ball because he'll be on his back if he doesn't.

YSU has a good secondary. They just play a lot of man coverage and get burned sometimes (As everyone does). Some delusional Penguin fans think Bo's defense should shut every opponent out and hold them to 50 yards passing. That's not how football is played now a days, especially in the college game with these offenses. Looking forward to the matchup!

A little history here from the glory days of the playoff's for YSU and Samford One of the coldest games I ever watched at the ICE CASTLE

Something has to give Samford strong passing attack YSU suspect in pass coverage. YSU strong on the ground Samford's weakness.

Should be a great game

I'm sure you will disagree, but I also saw that game, and I say that in decent weather Samford would have won. This seems to be almost an exact rematch, with the forecast not sounding very promising for our type of game. I would have much more confidence if we had not played like we did the last 2 games. We will either quickly solve that riddle or get embarrassed. BIG challenge for Samford.

You maybe right we only won 10-0 in 91. I felt sorry for your guy's you all had little to no cold weather gear

Question cause I haven't seen them play much before but what type of offense and defense does YSU run? Are they a ground and pound team like NDSU? How good is your QB? And how well do you think the YSU defense will be able to handle our backfield with Eli in it now that Eli will have a green light to run at will?
