THE IUP Football Thread

Like who?

- There is a pretty good chance that they will need to have more than two RB's ready to play over the season with the potential for injuries ...... if they don't have more than two RB's who can play well enough it could become a significant problem.

- Of course, it would be nice to have the 2022 season football roster available to know everyone who is in the "RB room" this season.

- Is there a list anywhere of the full coaching staff for those of us who don't live in the Indiana area (the IUP website has only 6 full-time coaches listed .... is that it ?)?

Like who?

Name slips me but what position is the big RB from McKeesport going to play this year? I recall he was technically a RB at the start of last year but then they were working him out at rush end.

Also, is the Edinboro transfer RB who sat out last year going to figure in much on offense?

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the backs lower on the depth chart emerges, as well.

Jack said on the radio he thought Stewart looks to be around 185 lbs. He played around 215 lbs last year.

Looking forward to seeing Jack in September. We don't make him climb any ladders at ESU...

Not really, those guys were too small and left a ton of yards on the table. Evans was not the same back age and reps got to him on the tiny frame. These 2 backs are special IF healthy trust me. Stewert got his weight down and looks like a feature back and Howser comes with high pedigree, we shall see.

Correct. We shall see. They both seem to have a high ceiling but I wouldn't be surprised if one of the backs lower on the depth chart emerges, as well.

Two kids who combined, ran for almost 1,000 yards and had over half of IUP's carries last year will be tough to replace...

Saw from the Twitter pics that WR Luke Hardy practiced today. Interesting player here ... big WR at 6'4" and 210-ish. He's been around forever but had a redshirt year, Covid year and then a medical redshirt last year. I guess that makes him a football redshirt freshman. Interested to see how he fits in to the plans this year.

Not much being said about the IUP RB situation which has always been a stable of great backs. Stewert and Howser will get there shots I believe as a two headed monster. If they stay Healthy goods things should occur.

I bet that means they're updating it. Watch the basketball roster update for 2022 before football.

Likely, but they've then been updating it for the past 45 days. That one isn't a big deal. We already know that roster.

In other news. Mercyhurst finally released the 2022 signing class.....as freshman on the fall roster.

Did they ever hire someone to be their SID after Edinboro hired theirs away?

The basketball roster is listed as ERROR 404.

It will be posted as soon as the student worker responsible for pushing the publish button passes his Sandusky background check.

Will that roster be available by kick-off at ESU?
