Sorry to hijack a justifiably IUP-themed thread ;)

Not mentioned much on here but three items of note from this past game:
* Adam Houser came back (granted, a very small workload as expected).
* DB Randy Washington also returned (for I believe the first time all year).
* WR Terry Mumford also returned after missing the entire season to this point. Not likely to contribute much in the offense this year but he's a really nice special teams player with speed and size.
Those are some really big additions if they are nearing 100%.

Obviously, this question goes both ways.
IUP is going to have to score at least 35-40 points to win this game. I just cannot see IUP's defense -- based on all we've seen thus far -- holding SRU in the 20s or less.
SRU's WRs are loaded. If they don't pressure -- and a lot of it -- I have no idea how IUP's young secondary will survive.

Actually, the Kutztown game was a big time game this year, IUP loses that, and the SRU game is just for bragging rites. If KU wins this week, they will likely only have 1 loss, to IUP.
I don't think SRU is better than KU, just a flashier style.
Like many have said, IUP loses this week, and playoff hopes are all but lost. Also, the loser of the KU, Ship game won't make the post season either.
SRU loses this week, and even if they run the table, their crappy SOS might keep them out of the Playoffs.
I think we know what IUP is this year. You wouldn't want to play them the day everything clicks and when they are all on the field together (granted, if that day ever comes). I'm not going to get all excited about this past Saturday because that was essentially a mediocre D3 team they played. But, we've seen IUP win a big game. We've seen them lose a big game. We've seen them pummel two terrible teams. And, we've seen them struggle (but beat) a mid-tier program (#LIT-AF). We've seen them overcome a ton of adversity with injuries and Covid issues.
No question they are a much better offense with Harry Football. Irvin Charles is a monster. Duane is a star. They are getting smoother each week. The running game is what it is. The defense shows flashes -- good and bad. The team makes a ton of undisciplined type errors and penalties. The defensive philosophy is very vanilla. We know all this by now. How much can really change by Week 7? Hopefully some.
But, what I can't wait to see, is how good SRU and Cal actually are (or, aren't).
SRU hasn't played anybody with a pulse in over a month. Last four games: Lock Haven, @ Seton Hill, Clarion and @ Edinboro. Everything changes when the team across from you can punch back. IUP has been through plenty of adversity this year. From everything I've seen this year, this particular IUP team is better off on the road. In some odd way I think they thrive on it. This will be the first big boy offense SRU has seen all season. I think both QBs have monster stats and both defenses get lit up. IUP is more battle tested. Will that make the difference?

BIG TIME PLAYERS STEP UP IN BIG TIME GAMES. If everything comes together for IUP they will win this game. Need to clean up the penalties and hope the pass rush can get home multiple times. This is also going to be Harry Footballs first big game, excited to see how he does, he has all the weapons you need. The real question is does slippery rock have the defense to shut all these weapons down.

The thing about that is ... you could insert the name of any Big Ten school in there and the statement would be pretty much as accurate.
We're just so inundated with the Penn State diehards around here, we notice it more.

No doubt a tough pill to swallow for the Joe Pa diehards. I don't think there's any chance they lose that game if Sean Clifford played the second half. The backup didn't have deer in the headlights ... he had freaking dinosaurs in the headlights. I think that PSU OL No. 70 just got called for another false start. My Lord.
That trip to Iowa City may linger. PSU got really beat up in that game with injuries.
