Well, the way-too-early forecast is calling for 45 and rain on Saturday in Indiana.
Tad different than yesterday's 76 and sunny.

Late in the second half IUP, with the game way out of reach, had three guys dinged on offense, two of which looked significant. Aside from Brown, which turned out to be minor, JD Younger and Dorian Woodey were hurt with a knee and ankle respectively. Younger, while technically IUP’s #3 back, is important to the offense and he gets meaningful carries. If he can’t go next week, that’s a big loss. There’s absolutely no reason Younger or Brown were still in the game. I get it for Woodey as he’s deeper on the depth chart. His injury looked the worst and he was carted to the KCAC afterward.
They showed a replay of Younger's play and it's hard to tell what happened. He was down and the defensive player kind of rolled over his legs. Younger looked questionable right after the play but didn't look like he was in much pain. I think coming off the field they told him not to put his weight on it. We'll see. Looked like he definitely would need some x-rays.

Younger and Houser seemed to be sharing RB2 yesterday (Younger got more carries).
Dayjure looked fresh. Perhaps that week 'off' rejuvenated him. He has the game-breaker trait the others don't, and is very powerful and durable. No coincidence they lost in Erie without him.
Hard to take too much out of yesterday. Tort was being polite keeping that at 45-0. But, perhaps most importantly, they seemed to have a different mindset yesterday. Maybe something good did come back from Erie.

Thing is, it’s an offense designed for teams with lesser talent to be able to compete. It’s based on deception, lots of motion, etc. Clarion’s talent is so poor though that against teams like IUP they have no chance to get going. They had some success against teams they could hold their own with up front, but today was a complete mismatch. I doubt Clarion has three guys that would see significant time on one of the top teams in the West. If you’re really bored you can go check out their game against Seton Hill where the offense looked much more like it’s designed. Today was just a complete disaster for them.

I've read a lot about "The Fly" offense so I was interested to see it live.
Clarion just doesn't have the personel to run it effectively right now. IUP's DL just destroyed Clarion up front all day and prevented any rythem -- and that is definitely a rythem system.
Not sure if I'd call it a gadget offense but it's close. It's like four different schemes wrapped in to one -- but when you get past all the motion and mis-direction, they actually run essentially the same 5 plays all day. They look different with all the variations in the motion, etc., but it's basically 5-6 basic plays.
It would be interesting to see a team like IUP run it.

That was one of the more incredible things I’ve seen in The Mill. It was something to behold, and being along for the ride in 1993 the song choice brought back a lot of memories. On top of that, what an incredible crowd for a game against doormat Clarion. Both sides were packed. Something like that next week would be great.

Band Day was a huge hit. Big turnout.
Halftime was great. They had like 400 former band members join the current band and play Crocodile Rock. It was really good.

Hoping that Cherokee somehow finds its way home but just grateful that Crimson Abomination got the Lizzie Borden treatment.

The announced gate today was 5,927 ... and that was probably a light count.
