THE IUP Football Thread

I was told last night there are 5-6 players not listed on the roster -- for whatever reason. It could be admissions, etc.

So, hang tight. Things are going to look a little different here shortly.

Yes u are correct. There is another wideout with 2 years left that is an Irvin Charles clone . Stay tuned, a real difference maker coming from D1 level…we shall see.

So long as both clear and get added to the roster, the WR core went from small to big real fast.

So do we suck or not? I’m totally confused.

They posted the initial roster but it is short several names. This likely means they had some late adds and have some others not officially cleared yet (admissions, academically, etc.)

Needless to say, some pretty big players aren't listed yet (but are on campus). Hopefully it is now resolved.

This all sounds sketchy!

I just read that the SAC will have replays. Makes me wonder when this will come to all d2 football schools, any talk from the psac?

PSAC men’s basketball implemented replay mid season last year all conference games and tournament games. Football would seem to be next. The technology has been there for years that’s for sure.

D2 fans just need reasonable expectations. It won't be like an SEC game and have 47 cameras and a wide array of angles.

I question how useful it will be in D2 if, say, they are only using the press box camera, etc.

Watching games on the web I have seen quite a few calls in PSAC games that would be reversed with the most basic review.

Now, all the PSAC schools need big video replay boards. No way it would happen, but we can dream.

What's funny is IUP has a very nice video board -- and they almost NEVER show controversial replays on it.

The first of the 'official' new players (as announced by IUP today):

WR T'Mahdae Penn (6'3", 195 lbs) / Junior transfer from Emory & Henry



Stay tuned. More coming.

Central Missouri had replays last year as a test. Not sure what the MIAA is doing this year.

Only saw action in three games last season and wasn’t a factor in any of them. Had a solid junior season but not sure what happened after that. Injury? He dominated at D3 Ferrum College in 2021 and was pretty good in 2020. I wouldn’t expect him to be an impact player here based on his D2 stats to this point.

Trust the Tort (just not with timeouts).
