Well, I do think there's a lot of talent on the team. I even think those offensive linemen, individually, are all good players. Same with Karst. All three backs have also had success over the years.
That said, something is off. It's Week 6 so the learning to play together angle is losing steam. I actually think IUP has regressed since the first two weeks.
Tort said today in the IG that they don't have an X's and O's problem. I thought this was a very, very interesting thing to say. That's actually a huge part of the problem along with a lack of attention to detail.
They haven't played a team yet with superior athletes. They just aren't performing. They didn't just lose last week. They got embarrassed.
I sure hope they finally put together a full 60 minutes. It will be a VERY long next 5 games if they lose Saturday.
Most attack when backed in to a corner. IUP is certainly backed into a corner.
I do think this forecast favors IUP to an extent. I'd take the wind in quarters 2&3. It's going to be a huge factor in the game. It will be extremely hard to throw into and the punts will go very little distance.
