I got pounced for my assertion on Sexton's game. But alas, a win is a win. My only other criticism is that they didn't seem to get much out of their RB committee. I expected better from Woody.
And with a MASH unit forming.

Lockhart's injury was a total fluke. He's a massive loss as he would have been one of their stars this year. He'll have a decision to make if he wants to medical redshirt and come back next year.
I haven't heard anything about why RB1-A (Dayjure Stewart) didn't dress. RB1-B (Houser) is very gifted but is just having trouble staying on the field. I'd guess a separated shoulder will cost a running back several weeks (if not longer). He was hurt in the first game last year, too, and missed most of the season.
Their star DL (Gregory Moore) also didn't dress. He was said to have a foot injury. Their best DB (Howard) also didn't dress as he was still in concussion protocol. Both are expected back this week.
No team is going through a season fully healthy. Not only is the game so violent, but football has tons of fluke injuries. An awkward cut and a knee blows out, lineman get rolled up on after the whistle, etc. Those fluke injuries are why it drives me bonkers when coaches leave star players in during blowouts.
No doubt, IUP has had some really bad luck in this department the last couple years.
I don't think their camp process can be blamed. They probably run a similar camp to everybody else in regard to contact, etc. IUP's injuries get magnified because there are so many IUP posters on here. After 2 games (for most) I'm sure everybody has a handful at this point. And, when you're talking about multiple offensive starters and two of your top defensive players ... they get a lot more attention.

Again, the adults are talking. Go take your insults to the kiddie table.

Got to admit, they are really banged up.Last edited by iupgroundhog; 09-12-2022, 09:53 AM.

I was on the road and only caught a few possessions on the PSAC app. I thought he looked just okay - but that could have been a bad sample. It was also the first game of the year. I think he's got good pedigree and did see him zip some passes with great execution but nothing I haven't seen on lesser teams. Maybe my expectations were too high. I expected him to dominate the game but what I saw he looked solid but nothing spectacular.
Ironically, I've been to his hometown. My sister lived there for a few years splitting the drive between job in San Angelo and BF in Austin.

I agree about the defense. Given they were missing a starting DT, and had a few injuries, biggest one being Howard. Terwilliger figured out the defensive scheme halfway through the 2nd quarter, and IUP stuck with it until the 4th Q, not good. Taylor really underpreformed, lets hope it was just a bad day, and they will improve - but they have a long way to go. Losing houser seemed to hurt the run game, ESU's best players are D-lineman, So I'm not too concerned about the line - but all those false starts for such a senior group was not good.
There are some pluses though
1 -they won
2 - Sexton to Brown is all that we expected and more. they are able to carry the offense against a pretty good ESU defense, the depth at WR is really good. If they have a running game at all they will be hard for anyone to stop.
3 - The Offensive game plan was solid, The new OC did well
4 - The kicking game did well, should be OK
5. ESU is much better than its loss to Pace - someone said they were looking past Pace - might be true
6. They fought back after they were down, and beat up.
The last unsportsmanlike call was really bad. I think the distraction call after that was a bit of a makeup call - never have I seen that called before.

Originally posted by Fightingscot82 View PostSexton kind of reminds me of Chase Haslett. Lots of talent, a little too much confidence, and mediocre results. But it was just the first game. Another downside of the 10 game schedule: you're still shaking off the rust but your opponent isn't. I imagine IUP will finish 8-2. They'll probably drop Slip plus one annual bone head loss.
