    I dont see not being thrilled your QB has thrown the ball 5x? to the chest of your opponents in 4 games that were all dropped being gloomy. I'd say it's realistic to expect that luck to run out.

    Good think for IUP is beat Cal and your basically hosting Shepherd in Nov.

      What's his long toss? I wouldnt be surprised if the kid from Gannon has a stronger arm. But I'm not an expert on the other QB's in the region.

          Or a better one for the topic of "potential" picks"

            So in other words your QB has probably underperformed, and yet you're unbeaten coming off a win over your biggest rival. Sexton threw a pick-6 against Ship, but he also threw a helluva lot of passes to his own guys and tore us up. The vast majority of teams in the PSAC would love to have IUP's problem QB.

              So Sexton has the highest passer efficiency rating in the psac. I couldn’t find a column for most passes that should have been intercepted or passes that shouldn’t have been caught but were. Usually though if someone keeps getting lucky, it’s not really luck.

                From what I saw of the weather conditions for that game, both teams played about as well as could be expected. Turnovers are as much a matter of poor execution as luck. Your team is not necessarily lucky when the make an interception. It's often a matter of the other team, either the QB or receiver, not throwing the ball where it needs to go or running a proper pass route. If my team has a defender in position to take advantage of that mistake, I don't think it's necessarily luck. In a weird way, I think part of Sexton's occasional loosey-goosey with the ball could be due to the skill of his receivers such as Brown. I thought the last TD ball he threw to Brown looked like an interception waiting to happen, but Brown went over the defender, grabbed the ball, and made it look like a piece of cake. When you've got a guy who can do that, it can spoil you and encourage you to take a few more shots.

                  The best WR in country. The best rb in the region. A QB that would make Ricky Vaughn jealous. Natty here we come!!

Same goes for the Hurst game last week. He continuously makes stupid throws and it WILL comeback to haunt them! The luck will run out! This IUP team could easily be 2-2. I’m making a legit assessment, not the Homer version like you!
                      Did you know that Sexton has a higher passer rating than any of the last three IUP QBs? That’s better than Lenny, Maxwell, and Woodberry. I get that you don’t like him and I don’t disagree that he’s made some questionable throws. If you go back and watch the game again, you’ll see he made some incredible throws that a lot of guys at this level struggle to make. I don’t think that’s being a homer to recognize that. I never liked Woodberry much like you don’t like Sexton. I get it, but I think the numbers speak for themselves. Maybe he will make a bad throw that costs IUP a game, who knows. My main point is this kid, in my opinion, has skills that no recent IUP quarterback had.

                                So true, so true but the memories are still sweet... especially when the other team is wearing crimson and grey !
