Off past form IUP is probably the favorite, but that was an impressive performance by the Shepherd "O" today against what has been a tough Slippery Rock defense for most of the season.

Had to be miscommunication is all I can think. That was awful.
Ashland played a lot of two deep zone today and had some success with it. The problem with that is you’re more susceptible to the run and we all saw what happened. IUP may not have put up a lot of points, but they controlled the action and dominated time of possession. Ashland’s front three got manhandled most of the day. It wasn’t until they started bringing extra guys that they had any success stopping the run.

Shepherd played one of their best games of the year on offense. Brown ran as tough as I have ever seen. When he wasn’t breaking a long run, he was still getting 4 or 5 yards. Bagent was Bagent, some absolute bullet passes.
Defensive line was getting consistent pressure on SR’s QB. Gave up some 8-12 yard runs, but forced a lot of negative plays as well.
Very happy with the way the team played overall. The kick off coverage needs to improve. Kudos to our kicker who has struggled at times this year, he was perfect on field goals and XPs.
Should be a great game against IUP next week.

This bunch of bumbling idiots are the absolute worst ref crew I've ever seen. They have been equally bad for both teams, they can't count, they call things randomly and they can't keep track of downs. I feel bad you all are stuck with this ineptness week in and week out.

Disclaimer: I realize Attendance figures at the D-II level are wildly unscientific ...
... that being said, would those at the IUP game confirm (or ballpark a closer figure) the reported attendance of ~ 1,300 people? If that is accurate, that's awfully sad for an important game. Shepherd reported close to 5,300 and I'd predict it was closer to 6,000+.
Shepherd folks ... any idea what's going on with Marlon Cook? He was dressed the entire game, but not once did we see a helmet in his hand let alone on the field.

Similar to the New Haven game, Shepherd had several opportunities to pull away and go up by multiple scores--but failed to do so. Today's game was I think what we all expected--a dog-fight between two perennial contenders in the conference and region. I hope the Slippery Rock fans (and team) appreciated the game-day atmosphere at Ram Stadium and enjoyed safe travels to and from. While the score was higher today, today and next week's matchup takes me back to when Shepherd's 2015 historic playoff run had to go through IUP and Slippery Rock (albeit reverse order).

Maybe IUP fans were somewhere on a holiday weekend and Shepherd fans had nowhere else to go. :-)
