THE IUP Football Thread

Damn, I'd hate to hear what y'all would say if they weren't winning by 12 points.

The CIA should show the Clarion vs. IUP game tape to terrorists. If that doesn’t make you do anything to make the excrement show stop, I don’t know what would. Watching this is Spain but the “S” is silent. This is just torture to watch. #AllIn2FireTort

They may as well play all freshmen on defense. These guys could care less.

something to be said for that unless its senior day. If the season is gone, and no offense it is, working underclassmen in makes a ton of sense. You don't want them blown off the ball and getting shell shocked and discouraged, but with the 3 game redshirt limit and the transfer portal plus experience gained there are multiple reasons to play the younger guys.

On the one yard line and can’t punch it in. This group is soft and the coaches are terrible. #AllIn2FireTort

It's hard to watch.

Missed ANOTHER extra point, because, F it, why not?

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Tort seems to have woken them up.

14-0 Clarion in the first… This has to be the most disinterested group I’ve ever seen. However, this is funny, because Tort says they are the ones that don’t want to lose the most. I can’t say that seems to hold any water - they just don’t care anymore (and neither do the coaches). #AllIn2FireTort

Clarion's D is the only PSAC D to hold SRU scoreless in first quarter. ROCK only had a little of 100 yds rushing for game.

If you are on Fire Tort bandwagon, root for Clarion. again 4-7 should be a record worth firing; 6-5 or 5-6 probably not

I think IUP wins by double digits, whether Karst plays or not.

Karst isn't playing. That really doesn't change much whether he plays or not.

[IUPbigINDIANS]

He hasn't played since like week 3....they've been playing a true freshmen and he's shown some flashes, he has a bright future. Kind of crazy Clarion is playing with about 7-8 true freshmen on offense and has been since week 2 or 3 due to injuries across the board. They've done extremely well all things considered.

It will be a close game. This IUP team causes more self-inflicted pain upon itself than any team you'll ever see. Add in a couple missed extra points, untimely personal fouls, etc., and they'll be in another tussle.

I see Clarion jumping out, IUP coming back and then we'll see what happens.

Whatever works. IUP isn't very good. Obviously. They are third in the league in rushing yards per game (and last in passing).

Clarion does have a pretty good RB although he's missed a ton of games this year.

Clarion's QB is their leading rusher.

Interesting item in tomorrow's game:

Clarion is actually a very good first half team -- but has often vanished in the second half.

IUP doesn't show up until halftime.

This IUP offense certainly isn't built for big comebacks, so the Fighting Timeouts better come out swinging tomorrow. If not, the coach who doesn't blame others will be blaming everybody (again).


Curious to see if Tyrone Fowler plays tomorrow. Tort only suspended Stewart for one game last year. The Golden Eagles do run the ball pretty well so they could certainly use him. IUP's run defense hasn't exactly been very good lately.

Kickoff should be around 55 degrees - incredible weather for a game in November up there.

Clarion's QB is their leading rusher.
