IUP Football 2021

[IUPbigINDIANS]

That was the case at Edinboro under Bradford. Could also be conditioning - players are gassed. Nobody will ever admit to that though. Most likely a combination of the two.

In road games, IUP is giving up 9 points in the first half and just 9.33 in the second half.

Naturally, you can point out they've played much better teams at home (Kutztown, Shepherd, Gannon and California) compared to road games (Mercyhurst, Clarion and Slippery Rock). But, let's recall it wasn't long ago most on here thought Slippery Rock's offense was The Greatest Show on Turf reborn.

Here's an interesting stat for those interested in stats:

IUP's four home games this year ...

IUP has given up just 8.5 points per game in the first half. Fantastic. In order of home game, the visitor scored 7, 10, 7 and 10.

However, ... a drastic change occurs after halftime.

In the second half of those games, IUP is giving up 22.5 points -- nearly three times more than the first. In order of home game, the visitor has scored 19, 27, 16 and 28.

It's very odd it has happened in all four home games.

It tells me the guests are making some really good adjustments at the intermission. For starters, anyway.

I just find it incredible how much the enrollment has fallen at IUP. I know that's off topic. But wow. It was 15,000 when I was on campus just a few years ago. That's a massive drop off in 5 years.

Wow, that is some seriously deep stat digging, but it seems to take Saturday's collapse from a horrible one-off to a trend, which may be even more disturbing.

That is a giant IF getting SRU to 10-1.

No argument there. If they lay another egg they could lose this week. Gannon although under achieving has talent to be dangerous any random week. By that I mean should beat Bloom....the seton hill game shouldnt of been as close....same with Edinboro last week.

But probably just safer if SRU gets on track at all to have them just lose to Cal and be done as far as IUP is concerned.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

IF SRU beat Cal and Kutz I'd be worried about a 10-1 SRU team jumping an 8-2 IUP. IUP SOS will take a hit but SRU's is going to go up

It might be. Maybe.


As of today:

Bentley (7-0)
California (7-0)
Notre Dame (7-1)
Kutztown (7-1)
Shepherd (7-1)
SRU (7-1)
New Haven (6-1)
IUP (5-2)
Charleston (5-2)
Shippensburg (6-2)
Ohio Dominican (6-2)
Tiffin (6-2)
Stonehill (5-2)


IUP has played 7 games and 4 of them were against teams listed above. It's been crazy.

Also, consider:

* Tiffin and ODU play each other this week -- one of them is getting a third loss

* Rock has to play California and possibly Shepherd. They may win one of those. With 2 losses IUP would (you'd sure think) get the nod due to H2H clobbering.

* ND plays at a red-hot Pembroke (who just took down Charleston)

* Ship, like IUP, may win out, but looked bad in both its losses

* New Haven has to play Bentley


So, by default some losses are going to pile up on the above list. All IUP can do is win its next game. See where the chips fall. But, they aren't dead yet. No nails in the coffin just yet.

IUP will take a SOS dip playing Boro and SH. Can't forget that.

Because that is what they reported to the feds. $1,829,838 to be exact. I assume its only gone up with annual compensation increases.

I think you have the updated number. The OpEd lists $1,737,000.

[Brandon]

I understand that but how do you know it is 1.9 mill?

https://ope.ed.gov/athletics/#/institution/search

[Brandon]

I was on Torts first squad if u think 1.9 million is spent on football u are truely delirious. LMAO

It's actually 1.7. That number would include coach salaries, scholarships, operating expenses, etc.

[Brandon]

It's hard to prove a negative.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Shall we stay away from "the shed" ?

The Shed will be fully operational if they lose Saturday.
