YSU @ #6 UNI Game thread

[unigriff]

Guins are in town for a clash with a pissed off and injured Panther team.

YSU high octane offense scores first with their first FG of the season...then UNI without QB Rennie...gave the ball to Jared Lampher for his first collegiate start...and he impresses on his first drive with a rainbow touchdown pass to Sinkfield...UNI up 7-3 mid first.

[Drblankstare]

Do you know how long rennie is out for?

[Twentysix]

PM any free video links. I heard rennie tore an ACL or something but it was second hand and could just be a rumor. Also, go penguins!

[EmeraldCityBison]

Is there a free audio or video stream available?

[MplsBison]

I expect this game to be about like NDSU vs IN St was today. NDSU/UNI (clear top tier of MVFC) vs IN St/IL St/YSU (clear 2nd tier of MVFC, but still good enough to get into the playoffs).

There better be 4 teams from the MVFC in the playoffs this year.

[unigriff]

not free...

Rennie is questionable today...ankle injury, sore knee has been a year long issue.
Carlos Anderson also expected to make a re-appearance this year at RB...(did not start though)

[unigriff]

12:18 left in 2nd q.

kinda boring game right now. YSU has a good QB.
YSU ball 1st n 10 at own 40 after the UNI punt.

Attedance...id guess from video...14kish

[EmeraldCityBison]

I found this stream of the YSU radio...

[unigriff]

UNI woulda forced a 3rd in long...but a PF on UNI with a WR not even 25 yards near the tackle gives YSU a 1st n 10 at UNI 40...then quick snap by YSU catches UNI offsides...but fumble on the play for loss for YSU but the offsides changes the field position again.

[unigriff]

YSU faced with 3rd n 5 from the UNI 26

[unigriff]

almost a pick 6 by UNI....incomplete instead...4th n 5 from the 27....YSU trying to make their 2nd FG all season.

[unigriff]

timeout YSU to think about it. (I didnt realize YSUs kicking problems were this bad)

[unigriff]

4th n 5...YSU goes for it....incomplete (flat out dropped the cross route) flag on the play...PI on the offense...UNI ball!

[unigriff]

on first down Lampher goes deep...big catch by Herring on 1st down...inside the Guins side of the field. Now 2nd down n 6...at YSU 44.

[unigriff]

Lampher goes deep on PA pass..receiver just barely drops it and then catches it off the rebound off his body when he hit the ground at the 3...incomplete. 3rd n 7

[unigriff]

sacked on the play....4th n long for UNI. punt coming.

[unigriff]

YSU takes over at own 15. 7:25 left in 1st half.

[unigriff]

big stat right now....UNI penalized 5 times for 51 yards, YSU 0

[unigriff]

YSU has a nice drive going...started at own 15...now down to the UNI 33

[unigriff]

[unigriff]

in his first collegiate start...impressive....Jared Lanpher...11 for 15 for 162 and 2 TDs!

Sinkfield with both TD receptions. The last a beauty...diving catch!

[UNIFanSince1983]

15 rushing yards for the Panthers at the half.

Earlier this year we were a one dimensional team that could only run, and now we are a one dimensional team that can only pass. If we can put both together our offense would be unstoppable.

[unigriff]

2nd half set to kickoff...UNI to get the ball!

[unigriff]

15 rushing yards for the Panthers at the half.

Earlier this year we were a one dimensional team that could only run, and now we are a one dimensional team that can only pass. If we can put both together our offense would be unstoppable.

I agree...Lanpher is good tho

[unigriff]

Carlos Anderson returns the kickoff up to the UNI 37. Great starting spot for the Panthers...here's to a good running 2nd half for the Cats.

[unigriff]

3rd n 9 for the Cats..at their own 39.

[UNIFanSince1983]

I agree...Lanpher is good tho

He is really good, but our oline is getting pushed back on every single running play.

[unigriff]

PF penalty on UNI (tripping)...declined...4th down n 3 for UNI...punting.

[unigriff]

He is really good, but our oline is getting pushed back on every single running play.

typical UNI-YSU game...hard nosed game...YSU outplayed us first half...oline is not doing well...i agree.

[unigriff]

interception UNI!!!!!

[unigriff]

UNI continues to shoot themselves in the foot...big run by UNI...negated with another holding penalty. This looks like the UNI-Iowa St. game all over again. not good.

[unigriff]

sinkfield just misses connecting for another TD...incomplete. UNI to punt.

[unigriff]

big possession here for UNI. down 3...4th Q....YSU ball at their 22 yd line. gotta get a stop

[DoubleE]

this is a very very young YSU team (most starters are Freshman or Sophmores with a few juniors sprinkled in) and they are starting to gel. If YSU can get the job done today and win the 2nd round of the playoffs next week @ NDSU then look out in the playoffs. this team can be dangerous

[DoubleE]

hess almost picked on 3rd and 5. time to punt

[unigriff]

Panthers force a 3 n out...almost picking off the 3rd down pass...YSU to punt...9:44 to go!

[unigriff]

[DOME]

Boom goes the dynamite!

[UNIFanSince1983]

Wow great game by the Penguins. One of these times they are gonna knock us off, I am just glad it wasn't this year.

[DJKyR0]

Ouch. Tough loss for the Penguins but good win for UNI to bounce back after a big game vs. NDSU. The loss leaves YSU capable of only an at-large bid at 7-4, and they have to go to NDSU next weekend. Not looking good for YSU's playoff hopes.

[strike00]

great game by the Penguins. UNI with the worst offense i've seen from them this year by far, but you have to expect that going with the freshman backup quarterback.

I hope that UNI doesn't drop in the polls. I don't think they will because of the QB situation.

YSU still hasn't beaten UNI since Tressel.

[DOME]

ASU and Maine both lost, GSU and LU didn't impress too much either. If anything I bet UNI will move up.


But our offense is not impressing anyone. Freshman qb or not, where is our run game?

[UNIFanSince1983]

It is honestly going to be tough for me to move UNI up in my poll, but I really have no option as two teams I had above them lost today.

We need to get the running game figured out, otherwise we will be making another early exit from the Playoffs.

[Ronin]

UNI dodged a bullet this game. Props to #4 from UNI for another great game. Impressed by our freshman QB and once again disappointed by the O-line performance. 3 games in a row where they looked... well pathetic.

[unigriff]

I agree if I had to grade our team like Clenz does this is how it goes:

Oline - F-
RBs - D-
QB - A-/B+, for his first start as a freshman in a huge game...wow. Impressive. Some bad throws, but really not bad at all. Honestly had a couple looks of Eric Sanders. Future looks bright.
WR - B, nothing really bad stood out, but it seems like we only throw to two receivers in this game (Sinkfield and Howard). Need to spread it around.

Defense C - our rush defense is garbage right now..pass defense is playing better but if we can't stop the run...its gonna be a long end of the season. They came through when we needed em tho..and thats what they do best! Good to see Boothby line up at FB again at the end of the game :) Beast!
