I was reading that you guys were also without that DE from Clarion who was a much hyped transfer. That's a big one against a passing team on a hot day where you should be rotating DL throughout the game. I've said it a few times, but I think part 2 is in the cards between Shep/IUP later this year.
Also, curious to hear what you guys think on your 2 DT's. Call me crazy, but I think both of those 2 fellas need to lose 30-40 lbs. Other than obviously being plugs in the middle for run support, they didn't offer anything in that game against that Opponent. If the goal is strictly no running up the gut, but forget the pass rush - mission accomplished.

I expect this season to take a lot of turns. It's amazing how high IUP fans were after the Kutztown game and how low they were after Shepherd. I'm very hopeful about this season. Yes, a major factor emerging is health. Concerning Brown, a "sprained" shoulder can cover a wide range of injuries. Hopefully, he will be fine.

When the schedule was first announced, a lot of people on here felt that IUP being 1-1 after the first two games was acceptable. Obviously bigger pieces were added since then and poor play versus Shepherd are valid reasons to be upset. But I think there's still a lot of football to play and it is still possible for IUP to go 9-1 (probably with a rematch of either KU or Shep in the state game).
Then we were watching the same run get stuffed on first down over and over again all afternoon. Defensively, I'm not sure Bagent even got touched all day. The last ray of hope to stay in the game we botched that reverse. Was that a pretty risky call in that spot? Of course it was risky when it loses you 14 yards.
They still should have been up at halftime -- or, at worst, tied. We had the dropped TD and then the other drive stall at the 10. Settling for those FGs was huge. Then, of course, the third quarter was just ... as Tort said 'one of the ugliest quarters he's ever seen at IUP'. Not many other ways to say it.
It also seemed clear Shepherd wasn't real worried about Javon's arm nor the IUP run game. They seemed OK if Irv got his deep ball but they were hell bent on taking away the dink/dunk stuff that ripped up Kutztown pretty good the week prior. Said dink/dunk is even less effective when every drives starts 2-and-10 or 2nd-and-12. The secondary was just a mess. No other way to say it. Tort mentioned all the blown coverages, missed tackles, etc.
Tort said last night he doesn't know who will start at QB but pretty much said both are playing. So, we'll see how long that lasts. It may work.
Let's hope Duane and Dauberman aren't real serious.
What summed that game up well was when IUP finally got Shepherd to punt (on their last possession of the half), the Shepherd punter botches it and skies it directly in to the wind. It hangs up there forever but doesn't go very far ... then hits and bounces about 25 yards down field. It was that kind of day.
The final score read they lost by 16, but it really wasn't that close. It got out of hand in the third quarter.
But, hey, I saw SRU clock IUP in the 1999 regular season and then IUP went up there and beat them in the playoffs. So, you never know what may happen. But, they have to get healthy -- and start praying they pass the Wednesday part of the week.

Part of it -- my opinion -- was the frustration of having so many guys out. I'm not talking role players ... they had some major studs not dressed for that game. Starting WR, RB, LB, DL, S, etc. That adds up quick. I get this isn't D1 and we're not going to get the information prior to warm-ups. Kelly and Wallace are arguably two of IUP's best defensive players. Their absence was massive.

Duane Brown, Connor Kelly and Randy Washington are questionable. Josh Dauberman and Cole Laney are good to go.

High ankle sprains and RBs are a nightmare. So easy to tweak.
What was the deal with our Florida Gator? Protocol issues?
