IUP Football 2021

[ShoNuff]

I mean, they weren't unrealistic predictions though. Until Saturday, IUP was giving up 300+ YPG through the air.

Fair enough....

A combination of things happened up there.

A) The DL -- finally at 100% -- became what we were expecting all year. Once Andrew Koester started getting knocked around, he was getting real trigger-happy and very rattled. IUP's DL tore up the SRU OL in the first half. Koester was being chased around constantly.

B) The IUP freshmen DBs are growing up quickly. That will be a scary group in the years to come.

C) CBs Nazir Streater and Bryce Gibson are very good players. They are even better with the middle of the field DBs playing with more confidence (playing and not thinking so much as the weeks go by).

D) The SRU offense was over-hyped after beating up lesser teams all year. That's not even close to the Roland Rivers attack.

E) It was BY FAR the most engaged IUP team I have seen in Lord knows how long. That fire was lit before they went up there and all those F IUP chants and stupid tweets was just pouring gasoline on it. SRU was lucky it was just 24-7 at halftime. It could have been worse.

DL - Even the Slippery Rock announcers were stating they believed "something" was wrong with Koester. If I am not mistaken, I believe they accused him of quitting.

play of the middle DBs - YES SIR !! They must just continue to play by trusting their eyes AND film study...and not over-think things.

If there was a Dixon Trophy for a victimized fan base, you guys would be on an 83-year winning streak.

Is this a bad time to remind you of the F IUP banner that hung outside Seth Grove that IUP fans had to stare at for a whole half? :-)

That could only be true if you were actual victims.

Does nothing to dispel the first point

Trying to troll for the sake of trolling.

I don't think what we're talking about is ok regardless if it's SRU fans, IUP fans, or any fans. I guess you don't see a problem with it.

They embarrassed themselves. Not us.

I'd say stay in the Ship thread, but, ...

Trust me it wasn't according to accounts. It happened. Numerous times. F IUP. F Harry. Simply amazing they would let that go on and on. Imagine not getting security involved or at the very minimum having the PA Announcer ask them to stop. How many SRU families were there for Homecoming with their young kids and that is what you allow to happen? How embarrassing ...

The PSAC makes each team read that 'good sportsmanship' mumbo jumbo service announcement prior to each game. It says that stuff won't be tolerated. LOL.

At least they weren't throwing golf balls & condiment bottles.

I watched about a third of the game. I agree - Koester was pressured most plays and was frequently throwing with his weight on his back leg. He's got a decent arm but you can tell he's not used to his line collapsing. I noticed that IUP's DBs covered much better versus going for the INT. Funny how that makes such a big difference. They really diminished the impact of Rock's good receivers. Rock had virtually no answer for Duane Brown and Irv Charles. Also, Harry Football is as advertised. Dude can throw a ball.

For those who were there, what was the crowd like? You didn't get a good sense on the Rock broadcast.

Well, see above couple posts. I'll assume that was just the student section chanting all that garbage. But, they let it go on the entire first half several times.

The crowd was large but IUP took it out of the game very quickly. Five minutes in to the third the home side was thinning. It was maybe a third full in the final quarter. Maybe.

It's one thing to type F*** SRU on an internet forum but for a whole student section to be chanting F^^^ IUP live at the game is a different thing. According to all accounts, that is what happened.

With all the national hoopla about freedom and freedom of speech, etc., should SRU administration step in and put an end to that because, as has been stated, it seems to go too far?
