  1. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    @ CaptainBuckeye-I feel like the Pundit's watched a different game than I did. Reading the headlines & content is mismatched to the stat lines. Here's another issue, Ohio State kept most of the starters in the entire game. YSU was substituting freely late in the game and there wasn't much...

  2. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    Here are my concerns (remember I am a fan of both YSU and Ohio State). YSU's strategy was to chew up clock for 2 reasons: #1. Keep the offense off the field as much as possible. #2. Shorten the number of snaps to keep the YSU athletes as fresh as possible having 22 scholarship disadvantage...

  3. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    The ugly part is YSU held Ohio State to 7 points in the second half. How much of it was QB play substitution?

  4. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    This game went as I expected. YSU was respectable and will do well in the FCS this year. Buckeyes need to get more physical on the LOS. Both are my teams. I didn't expect the 70-0 scores that were being thrown out there. It's too early in the season and Day isn't going to show ANYTHING...

    He will be. Just watch and see how this ages.

  6. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    I should also mention that YSU's LB's are the strength of the team. We get pressure when we blitz them against FCS teams. Different story against the Buckeyes. If the OL play doesn't improve from last week, the Penguins may be able to get to the QB from time to time. DL is pretty good...

  7. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    Here's an FCS message board (free of course) that's the leader for FCS football. You guys that don't follow FCS are missing out on some great football. I like it because I watch both levels. www.anygivensaturday.com Here's a link to the YSU vs Ohio State thread this week...

  8. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    The interesting part to watch for me is Marcus Hooker playing against his old team. He's the starting safety and he's excellent at the FCS level. Since his departure due to a DUI while at Ohio State, he's been a great fit at YSU. The Penguins also have Bryce Oliver who transferred from...

  9. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    Here's his pre season highlights with the Broncos.

  10. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    Ohio State will win handily, but I expect the Penguins to make some plays on an inconsistent basis. Penguins are built like the old Tressel teams. Best players on defense, do the best you can not to turn the ball over and establish a run game. That's how they play. However, the RB from last...

  11. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    They're a developmental program. Can't get the guys that are 6'6 310lbs out of high school. They get the 6'6 270 lb guys that were overlooked and develop them. Many starters could play FBS and fewer make it to the NFL. But once you get through the starters, the drop off is steep. That's why...

    Marcus Hooker at Penn State

  13. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    Here's my take (and I'm a Buckeye Fan). There's definitely a drop off (to be expected) when replacing a 2 year starter. The problems with the OL were actually helpful in identifying McCord's weaknesses, namely his slower release and his mobility. The late pass over the middle wasn't a good...

  14. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    Marcus Hooker

  15. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    One other thing to keep in mind. While the penguins are completely overmatched, their OL is not like the FCS teams that your think of normally. They go 6'6 300+ across the OL Youngstown plays in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, the same one that has North Dakota State and South Dakota...

  16. Youngstown St. at tOSU, Sat. 9/9, 12pm EST, BTN

    YOU ARE MISSING ANOTHER INTERESTING STORY. Marcus Hooker is the starting safety at Youngstown State. Remember when he transferred from tOSU (kicked off the team)? This is where he landed. Malik Hooker's little brother.

  17. Jim Tressel (National Champion, ex-President, Youngstown State University, CFB HOF)

    You can thank the YSU Penguins for Coach tress............And by the way, the game vs YSU didn't cost OSU a #1 Spot in the BCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Bucks!

  18. Misperception of FCS (I-AA) Football

    This was NOT Edwards first game. He was a starter since the second game last season and he beat YSU 49-24 in the FCS Semifinals before the National Championship game. Edwards is outstanding, but his O line is also outstanding. Their guards were hitting our linbackers before the read. I was...

  19. Game Thread Game One: Ohio State 38, Youngstown St. 6 (final)

    YSU is not going to get fancy. YSU is a run first team and they will run the ball and throw short passes (at least try to). If this doesn't wrok, then they will punt and go on Defense. No fancy stuff from YSU. Understand that YSU has high expectations every year and this game will have...

  20. Game Thread Game One: Ohio State 38, Youngstown St. 6 (final)

    I was there, wasn't a driving rain storm........actually a cool and sunny day. The student section was getting impatient because they expected a blow out early.........Joe Paterno liked the level of competition that we brought and has asked YSU to reschedule in 2009 or 2010. (when thay have an...
