2-0 vs cal and slip and haven’t played their best game yet is wild to think about, this team keeps improving every week.. I like this team a lot more now than I did after game 1… even though lots of key players were out. This team has lots of fight, which we all saw at Mon Valley U Saturday. I think the hawks will run through the boro this week… especially after how this game ended last year. Hawks are coming for revenge.
The only game I thought was bad was Shippensburg. Yes, I realize they won by 3 scores. But, they left about 28 points on the field. They easily could have won that game in the 65-10 range.
It's been neat to watch this defense get better with each week. Holding SRU and Cal to 12 and 21 points is very impressive. The secondary, in particular, has really come a long way rather quickly.
I don't blame Edinboro for celebrating last year. They deserved it. IUP had themselves to blame for not showing up. But, yes, it's payback time.

Agreed 1 game at a time, but personally I don’t think this team has played their best game yet… if most of this team can stay healthy they can be dangerous…They have so many weapons on offense, Not even counting Houser, it’s very hard to defend. Also the defense is coming along. Holding cal u to 21 points and slimey pebble to 12 is impressive. Very excited to see what this team can do…

I'm sure you couldn't see it on camera, but Duane was as frustrated as I've ever seen him this past Saturday. Ridley is becoming a legit superstar so that alone should start to take away the constant doubles on Duane. But, logic would certainly say with the amount of attention going to Brown/Ridley, Houser and Carter (and the TEs) should pose giant mismatches. There's no chance dropping LBs could cover Houser or Carter in the open field.
As you said, they should have ample time in the coming weeks to keep developing some things. There's obviously what should be some blowouts on the horizon.

I don't think Woody is hurt. I think Woody and Sirianni both played against ESU because Stewart had Covid and Houser was hurt. Not really sure the status past Stewart and Younger now. Houser can be really good but he's ALWAYS injured. The rest of the roster hasn't really seen action.

I actually just looked at this earlier today. Woody has just 3 touches for 8 yards. That's a whole lot of nothing but I saw that he's only played in the East Stroudsburg game. He was often injured at Edinboro so its probably a safe assumption that's why he hasn't been in since.
It looks like Connor Kelly is the much more productive Edinboro transfer. He's second or third on the team for a lot of the stats you'd want for a linebacker.

Well, I think we are looking at a 10+ game season (14 or 15?). Every year you reference having a stable of good RB's who all end up being banged up by the end of the year. So, if they are holding Houser out now to increase the likelihood that he doesn't get hurt again, it's probably smart. Younger is a tough runner and he's quick and makes smart moves. Houser has looked really good when he has the opportunity to get carries. I sense the RB situation will all work out.

The more players IUP can get involved the more dangerous they will become on offense. Brown and now Ridley are going but you have to get the other receivers/TE's involved. Put more pressure on the opposing defenses to guard more players. Amazing things will happen.
As far as the RB's are concerned... Hauser is a nobody! Find someone else!

Yes agree blowouts should be coming. Also saw the frustration in D. Brown so post season I'm sure they will be all over him so hopefully they involve others. Q hasn't done much and please stop running him for losses like in Cal game.

As for the WR situation, I think they are starting to bring other receivers along but the other part of it is that Brown and Ridley are so good. For the rest of the regular season, I think they will have the opportunity to spread things around more.
As for now, just focus on Edinboro this Saturday.
