Yurcich

[Ship69]

Yeah, I must have watched that catch of Trey's at least 10 times. That was certainly one of the great comebacks in Northwestern history. I'd almost left them for dead at halftime. Rob did a nice job coaching at Lower Dauphin. I graduated from Mechanicsburg, so am somewhat familiar with LD. I'll definitely have to try to look you guys up next season.

I'm not saying Shippensburg shouldn't be proud of Yurcich's rise in the coaching ranks (because they should be), but a couple of other PSAC schools should also join in. He was the starting QB at Cal for a few seasons in the 1990s and then spent five years as an assistant at Edinboro before his two seasons at Shippensburg.

IUP fans will be happy to hear Yurcich came to Edinboro when he was hired after being a GA at Indiana (the other Indiana) by none other than Lou Tepper.

True enough, but it was the exploits of his Ship offense led by Zulli that brought him to the attention of Oklahoma State. But there's nothing wrong with the other schools saying "he was here" as well. We have some good coaching minds in the PSAC, but seem to be behind the eight-ball in recruiting compared to other regions at present. I recall some Penn State fans denigrating Franklin when he was hired because he had once played for East Stroudsburg.

Uh, his name was Zulli

Yeah, Zulli called his own plays, eh?

Do you mean THE Lou Tepper?

Former Shippensburg offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich has just been hired as the OC for Texas after stops at Oklahoma State and Ohio State. He's had quite a career arc.

I heard there is a possibility Gonterak will be back.I know they got a commitment from a running back transfer from Howard University names Khalid Dorsey.They have a prep school wr committed and a transfer wr from Shepherd.Sirb the kid from St Francis was hurt last year.I hope Thompson can step his game up.He is from Middletown and went to Towson.

Who transferred to the enemy!?!

I appreciate the info as you obviously know some guys who have their ears to the ground. I was wondering what was up with Sirb as he was a decent back in 2018. Hope he can get back in shape. The return of Gonterak and improvement in the running room would really give the O a boost.

You made some excellent points when it comes to running the ball from the spread offense, especially on the goal line.

[jrshooter]

I really do question the strategy of starting the play four yards behind the line of scrimmage when you only have one yard to get the first down or TD.

[ShoNuff]

We'll need a running game, especially with Durkin departing. Thompson showed some potential the last couple of games. But I'm not especially fond of the QB and RB side-by-side spread formation for the running game. Unless you have a strong runner at QB, it takes a lot of deception out of the running game. It doesn't always matter if you have more physical talent than the other team, but that wasn't often the case this season. And I can't understand why in a first and goal situation from the 1 or 2 that more coaches don't just put the QB under center, especially since you can now legally push the guy over the goal line. It also makes sense late in the game. Slippery Rock blew a game to us in 2018 with an errant shotgun snap.

At the present, I just hope Mac gets some OL improvement. There's too much talent at the skills for them not to be putting up big numbers.
