That is an outstanding D2 job probably the best in Region 1. Job has everything, facilities, 36 s Ollie’s and strong recruiting area. In addition the league is not that tough…just sayin…Guy at Kutzrown would be a fool not to apply.
I think the GMAC is a decent league. Just a smaller version of ours, but definitely better than the MEC or NE10 in Region 1.

Originally posted by Fightingscot82 View PostI think Sexton has the zip on his passes to cut through the wind, but like was said, gusts can do a lot of crazy things, especially at Miller that is essentially a chute inside a fairly open area for wind to run through. Rain might linger for a spot. One thing to consider: as the stakes get higher, is there extra pressure on Sexton? At least internally, that can get in the way of all his talent. He's also gotta improve his accuracy. Maybe last week was an anomaly.
Then again, maybe the DID can just want to fight all the Shepherd "clowns" and distract the Rams.
There's pressure on everybody tomorrow.
It just can't be Gannon Part 2 for IUP to be successful. They can hang in a shootout but certainly that wouldn't be the option.
There's a Duane Brown factor tomorrow. Will Larry Wilson get too enthralled with having Duane back and not run enough? The beauty of their offense in the victory over Shepherd is the Rams were really guessing all day. They were obviously prepped all week for Duane and then all the sudden he wasn't there.
IUP ran pretty well on Shepherd. Now Shepherd may be without one of its top LBs.
I fully acknowledge Shepherd has a scary offense. IUP does, too, and it starts behind the best OL in the Region.
Saddle up, cowboys.

Never know. Ferris and GVSU are going to smash each other this weekend.
And, it's no secret they call drawing SR1 in the Final Four the 'bye' week.
There are certain years we have good enough teams to perhaps catch one sleeping.
Sans the Max injury the week prior in 2017 may have been much different.
But, we've also seen first hand many, many blowouts.

Their AD is from Armstrong County and graduated from Mansfield & IUP. He worked in IUP athletics & at the IG many years ago. But you're right - they are able to sell a vision for small college football in rural Ohio from wealthy donors under the shadow of Ohio State.

Their football facility is amazing. Since IUP was last there in 2018, they have added a huge indoor facility at what was then the open end of the stadium.

Originally posted by IUPbigINDIANS View PostLooks like the rain will be in Indiana from about midnight to 2 p.m. tomorrow. So, a good chunk of it shouldn't have rain.
It will be windy all day with 10-20 mph winds expected. In Miller, those speeds increase.
So, not quite as bad as we thought. Temperature will be a non-issue in the low 50s.
Given the forecasted gusts combined with the wind tunnel that seems to be there, you might be better off to prioritize what end of the field you defend versus whether or not to take possession of you win the toss. That said, IUP scored two touchdowns into the teeth of the wind in the third quarter in the last meeting.

Update on our esteemed cast of Pick 'Em experts (with several regulars having not yet posted):
Picks to win:
Shepherd - 14
IUP - 10
As of this moment, that is much tighter than last time. Shepherd was picked by about 80% of our gambling degenerates in the State Game.

Ashland has a lot of heavy hitter donors -- many in powerful positions within Ohio. This is a big job opening (if he indeed is retiring today).
They have a great following (filled up almost the entire visiting side at Miller last week).
