Decent IUP crowd here despite the distance.

Another journey begins.

Rest In Peace.

Condolences to the Cignetti family and to the IUP family. Frank was a real force in his life.

I don't remember, but the ones that stand out to me are those where he threw into double and triple coverages where they were basically intercepted before he even threw them.

Again, the good outweighs the bad with him. In the right system, and with another year or so under his belt he could be really great.

Regardless, he has the best mullet of any QB in IUP history.

Last year he threw 7 picks. They came in 4 games. He had 6 games with 0 INTs. I’d be curious to know how many of those 7 were his fault and how many were tipped balls or cases where the receiver ran the wrong route, etc. I genuinely don’t know.

I'm not understanding why people are bad mouthing the QB when he hasn't even played a nap yet in an IUP uniform. This isn't a situation like in the Tepper era when they brought in the Community College California kid. Settle down boys.

4-Started all but one game. Same offense as year 3. Had some magical moments, but made a lot of iffy decisions and got picked quite a bit.

That stadium is probably about No. 790 on the to-do list right now in Sutton Hall. Unfortunately.

Oddly, IUP Football has been hugely successful with just awful facilities. Thank the donors.

The Buffalo Bills are Super Bowl favorites playing in an outdated 50 year old stadium in a suburb.

Has the Jerrydome helped the Turds at all?

You'd also like to think this final two years will be better than his first two years ... that's usually the case with all players and especially QBs. More experience, better decison-making, etc.

This will be his 5th year.
1-RS year was recruited when Pitt ran a run heavy pistol spread hybrid.
2-Didn't start, but played a lot. Pitt ran the option with one QB, and full shotgun spread with Sexton, switching back and forth all year. Sexton was at QB around 30 or 40 percent of the time. Basically the team would run option poorly, put him in on 3rd down to get the first, give him a full series here and there, and bring him in for 2 minute drill, or to catch back up when they got behind. It was a ridiculous and laughable system at best.
3-covid year, started all 4 games. New coaching staff Pistol, read option.
