THE IUP Football Thread

[IUPNation]

One-trick pony, yes, but if you're going to be a one-sport program it better be in football or men's basketball. They accomplish that aspect. I'm not sure many people realize the other sports actually exist.

IUP has never lost to Taylor Swift U in men’s basketball correct?

[IUPNation]

Mr. All American punk, kid is good and lets people know it. Not the first, won't be the last.

You don’t need to let people know you are good…but it’s always about revenge right?

They've only played twice in the modern era. IUP is 2-0.

But, to say it politely, those programs are on very different levels.

Very polite lol, Shepherd probably doesn't have anyone that would be in the rotation at IUP. They are JV compared to IUP basketball.

Come on man, now you sound old. I'm not saying I condone it, but that's just how it is the last decade and will continue to be. Every team, nearly every sport.

Shepherd basketball is consistently mediocre. It would be nice to be a little better there.

This is the social media world now.

When you don't show up to play, when your fans don't show up at home in the Elite Eight, and you get bent over the bleachers and witch-slapped by a team you beat 21 days prior ... yeah, that stuff is going to happen.

There was so much wrong with Saturday from an IUP view it's hard to even discuss it all.

They weren’t the only team to lose a rematch game in the playoffs. 3-3 in final eight and one in the quarters WF over Delta….just sayin

West Florida had the regular season game won and fumbled it away at the 1 yard line. Just stop!

Backup QB Jack Krug has entered the portal.


He's from Brookville. The old regime at Clarion went after him pretty hard. I could see him landing with the Golden Eagles.

I guess he’s gone then per Tort’s comments about entering the portal. I was pretty impressed with him in high school, but IUP hasn’t shown the patience to develop a recruited QB in quite some time. With Sexton coming back he’d have another year without playing and would then face the likelihood of having to compete with the next portal QB.

I think he's pretty deep on the depth chart. There are Horn and Marchitelli.

Correct. At least by the end of the season, Horn was listed as #2 on the depth chart.

I'm pretty sure Horn was No. 2 all year.

As I've said before, they'll have a hard time landing any coveted high school QBs. It will be a very tough sell based on their recent history of bringing in imports. The transfer route has been very successful for IUP at the position so I don't see it changing any time soon.

The last two high school QBs they signed (prior to last year) ... one just entered the portal and the other changed positions.

I think Marchitelli is the QB of the future but I don't see any reason to ponder the future right now.
