Tough loss for Edinboro on their second long road trip of season in first 2 games but good learning experience for very young team. The score didn't indicate how much the Boro fought and knocked on the door in several situations. You can't be competitive with a great team like Shepherd turning the ball over 5 times. Glass half full the Fighting Scots were inside the Red Zone 6 times (5 of those inside the 10) and came away with 0 points on those trips including 2 missed short FGs. The early 7 points they scored was on a big play by Ike Bernard to Mike Watkins. With only 3 or 4 Junior/Senior starters and the rest Sophomores and Freshman, the future is bright for Edinboro. They were able to rattle Bagent a little bit in the game getting INT on first drive and holding him to a rare under 200 yd game but couldn't capitalize on red zone opportunities especially after losing Starting RB Anfernee Williams in 1st half to shoulder injury and gave up too many big runs to the outside to Ronnie Brown Kudos to him. No crazy expectations this year but I feel they will be a tough out all year in the PSAC and once they tighten up the "young" mistakes and finish drives they will be a problem! Go Boro!

Edinboro is in a tough situation this year and if they have a team in a couple of years. They have a solid QB and receivers but outside of that not much. Lost most of the O line due to graduation and transfers … lost back up RB who was a beast due to grades. Lost the entire starting D line, LB who was their best player to transfer and 3of 4 starters in secondary. Being they beat a team 10-7 in game 1 but that team was 1-20 the last 2 years. The defense gave up almost 600 yards this week and 400 on the ground ! Not looking good anytime soon.

The team's not going anywhere. It brings in almost $1 million in net revenue after expenses. For a school that's broke, you don't do that. Any speculation is careless.
But they do need to find someone to fund a replacement of that turf before someone gets hurt. Can you imagine what would happen if Prep played a playoff game there and one of their precious FBS recruits blew out his knee on an exposed turf seam?Last edited by Fightingscot82; 09-12-2022, 08:22 PM.

Nulph just can't have like a 2-8 season. In this day and age, when that happens, all his best players will be on the Transfer Portal Express come early December.

Well, Shepherd's offense is going to smoke just about every team they play. So, that's probably a tough comparison. If they stay healthy, there probably aren't any defenses in SR1 that can handle them.

Edinboro moved the ball well, they have some young talent that hopefully will serve them well as they get experience.

I haven't been on in forever...but two of my buddies that played there have kids that are being recruited (at least according to Twitter...could be BS) by what seems like every school BUT Edinboro!?!?!?! What is the plan there? How does this happen?
One is Smitty's kid and the other one is Crousey. Any insight?

Nulph seems like a genuinely thoughtful guy and I assume if someone sees these posts on here that they'll find a way to make contact.
*One thing I've learned in my conversations with former players is that they don't know where the scholarship money comes from. There's only so much go around. I believe Edinboro has about 12.5 equivalencies. So guys get offended when Edinboro doesn't offer their kid or their player much. Or they assume the scholarship money comes from the general university budget so the AD or President must not value football. And consistent with the cliche about complaining alumni, they usually don't donate or attend games.Last edited by Fightingscot82; 09-13-2022, 11:18 AM.

This ROI calculation is common in private D3 schools. Tuition revenue vs expenses is almost always very positive with the exception of high-cost, small roster sports like basketball, and why a lot of private schools have so many more sports than PASSHE. There's even a book about it that follows this method being used at Allegheny, Washington & Jefferson, and Adrian.
