SIU had a great pass O and we curb stomped them. The pass D depend on how we match up in the trenches, getting a rush, forcing sacks, making the QB run, etc. Otherwise, we match up well.

People tend to forget that you will have some passes completed. That’s going to happen. But if you stop the big play and force them to work, their own mistakes, drops and penalties limit the damage.

We have a solid run D. Our trench warfare there should hold up. The coaches appear confident. Our long time record against Nova and our threats are a problem for them. As the saying goes - we are agile, mobile and hostile. Sic ‘em
Anyone from Nova football or fan of the program has a healthy respect for Youngstown State. That said they will show up on Saturday. Nova will be there. See you then.
