IUP 2018

He's also not coming here to stand on the sidelines. What does this addition do to the secondary?

Maybe he heard of the good reviews at Naps.

I see #2 is currently not listed on the roster. After doing some research could this be the young man:

Wow, good job of figuring that one out! :good:

Re: IUP 2018

What if I told you .................. though public employees are exempt from paying into Social Security, they likewise are exempt from collecting from it unless they accumulate 40 quarters in a job outside of public employment and even then their benefit is reduced by a significant percentage due to their collecting a pension (which by the way they paid into). So while I agree with you that to an extent SSI is a joke/fraud for many reasons, (the biggest of which in my opinion is all of the able-bodied entitlement moochers sucking the system dry), public employees being exempt is not one of them. But hey How 'bout them Hawks!

You don't put in then you shouldn't receive!

Who is winning the back QB derby ?

Re: IUP 2018

Who is winning the back QB derby ?

I thought both young QBs looked good at the scrimmage of last Wednesday. Davis presumably ran with the second team and tossed an 80-yard TD pass on his first attempt to Zac Kelly. He also hit on another long ball a little later and finished that drive with a second TD toss a few plays later. Wilkerson is interestingly a southpaw and has some really nice velocity on the ball. He hit a nice throw or two.

Course, neither of them looked nearly as prolific as Hankins did in the one scrimmage last August when he was about all that fans could talk about heading out of Miller after a simply electrifying performance.

Let's just hope that at least one of these young guns can make it to class and pass their basic math and history courses and college writing this semester.

Rather oddly IUP is batting 0-3 with their last three assumed heir apparent QBs due to apparent academic deficiency.

Re: IUP 2018

One perhaps interesting side note pertaining to IUP football-----maybe former WR Walt Pegues never made the cover of SI or Madden, but he did get the cover of IUP Magazine in the recent summer edition of the publication. Did anyone else recognize him right away?

It is odd as QBs are 'usually' very intelligent. And, you don't even need to be intelligent to maintain a 2.0 GPA. Just get your behind in the building.

Absolutely ... precisely my point but someone (perhaps you) said "public employees" were "one of the reasons why SSI was a joke/fraud" ... simply not true so I set them/you straight on that subject. jus sayin

Re: IUP 2018

Our esteemed colleague Homer went on a rampage over Lenny today.

Got me thinking ... where does he rank in the IUP hierarchy among QBs? Granted the final chapter remains to be told -- and it will likely see massive stats produced and at least another 9-13 wins on his resume.

As you say I think that we have to view the whole body of work before he can be judged with a full measure of validity by the football historian crowd.

Excluding Lenny from the equation since he is a current player---these five get my vote as the top five QBs in IUP football history. I also will exclude Lynn Hieber of the mid-1970s since he was before my time, but sounds like he was one heck of a QB.


1. Tony Aliucci- took IUP to its first national title game and was the Harlon Hill runner-up his senior year when IUP very well may have won a national title if not for his unfortunate injury in the semifinal. It is just plain wrong that IUP has not inducted him into their Athletic Hall of Fame!

2. Rich Ingold- he gave IUP its first superstar in the revamped IUP football program of the Chaump-Cignetti era and established the template for which all other IUP QBs would be judged. The guy was just plain good and upped the ante of what IUP football would go on to be all about.

3. Brian Eyerman- took IUP to the playoffs four straight years with stellar QB play. Before Lenny came to campus he was the last of the elite QBs that did so much to raise IUP's fortunes on the national level.

4. Scott Woods- he may even be the second best in arguments. He took IUP to the '93 title game when IUP came all so agonizingly close to winning it all one December afternoon down in Florence, Alabama. Awesome player.

5. (tie) Jim Pehanick/Ken Ferguson- Penhanick led IUP to its first NCAA playoff bid in '87 and lit it up throwing to the great Tony Trave. Ferguson took IUP to the '94 national semifinals.


Right now as things stand, Lenny at worst likely has at the very least #5 spot on the all-time best list. Maybe higher. Probably a lot of it will ride on what he does his senior year. Win a national title or win the Harlon Hill and he could easily vault to the top of this list.

Has to be whiney Cris Collinsworth lamenting everything under the sun about the Steelers.

IUP webcast should consider hiring Homer as the color commentary guy. That would be quite an earful all of us would get.
