2-0 vs cal and slip and haven’t played their best game yet is wild to think about, this team keeps improving every week.. I like this team a lot more now than I did after game 1… even though lots of key players were out. This team has lots of fight, which we all saw at Mon Valley U Saturday. I think the hawks will run through the boro this week… especially after how this game ended last year. Hawks are coming for revenge.

This isn't a statement game. We just had two of those. This is a 'you should hammer them' game.
Edinboro has lost to every good team its played (crushed by Shepherd and Cal). Gannon also doubled them up on the board.
They have skill guys but several true freshmen up front. The mental lapse should be Tort's biggest fear.

Sounds kind of weird but I think IUP can make a statement on Saturday. Against an Edinboro team that isn't great (e.g. SRU/Cal) but isn't bad if they can put it all together and play up to their ability without lapses I think they will put themselves in a good place.

Well said, also Torts teams are road warriors… I’d expect this iup offense to put a lot of points on the board this week, weather seems good which is a surprise for Erie.

They had two really bad defensive quarters (2nd and 3rd) at ESU. But, as you said, two star defensive players missed the game and it was their first game.
The only game I thought was bad was Shippensburg. Yes, I realize they won by 3 scores. But, they left about 28 points on the field. They easily could have won that game in the 65-10 range.
It's been neat to watch this defense get better with each week. Holding SRU and Cal to 12 and 21 points is very impressive. The secondary, in particular, has really come a long way rather quickly.
I don't blame Edinboro for celebrating last year. They deserved it. IUP had themselves to blame for not showing up. But, yes, it's payback time.

Agreed 1 game at a time, but personally I don’t think this team has played their best game yet… if most of this team can stay healthy they can be dangerous…They have so many weapons on offense, Not even counting Houser, it’s very hard to defend. Also the defense is coming along. Holding cal u to 21 points and slimey pebble to 12 is impressive. Very excited to see what this team can do…

I'm sure you couldn't see it on camera, but Duane was as frustrated as I've ever seen him this past Saturday. Ridley is becoming a legit superstar so that alone should start to take away the constant doubles on Duane. But, logic would certainly say with the amount of attention going to Brown/Ridley, Houser and Carter (and the TEs) should pose giant mismatches. There's no chance dropping LBs could cover Houser or Carter in the open field.
As you said, they should have ample time in the coming weeks to keep developing some things. There's obviously what should be some blowouts on the horizon.

I don't think Woody is hurt. I think Woody and Sirianni both played against ESU because Stewart had Covid and Houser was hurt. Not really sure the status past Stewart and Younger now. Houser can be really good but he's ALWAYS injured. The rest of the roster hasn't really seen action.

I actually just looked at this earlier today. Woody has just 3 touches for 8 yards. That's a whole lot of nothing but I saw that he's only played in the East Stroudsburg game. He was often injured at Edinboro so its probably a safe assumption that's why he hasn't been in since.
It looks like Connor Kelly is the much more productive Edinboro transfer. He's second or third on the team for a lot of the stats you'd want for a linebacker.
