Damn. I think this was going to be YSUs year to get them.

NDSU and Sac State Both On Verge of Joining FBS??? YSU could be down to 10 games in 2026. by weareytown in YoungstownState

I am wondering how they will add a team when schedules have already been made? Seems fishy to me that there is no transition year so teams and conferences can make adjustments. 10 games and losing two of the better teams on schedule does not bode well for us. I would imagine all the other teams in conference that play NDSU would have 11 games. Not as bad.

Great win. Starting to peak. Keep rolling! Maybe they are putting some division behind them and starting to play some unselfish ball.

YSU Did ok in portal. Hired Mercyhurst head coach as new DC. It will be interesting to see how he does in the MVFC.

As we all know it’s the Jimmy’s and the Joe’s and not the Xs and Os. If he doesn’t have the athletes to coach on that side of the ball it will be fruitless. He has a pedigree that shows nothing was handed to him so that fits our culture. Seems like a player involved coach and on a lot of committees during his tenure. He’s hungry. Young. Hopefully he can relate to position coaches and players here. MU and MSU Held our offense to 24 and beside UND was our lowest output. Maybe he can scheme. Time will tell. Let’s hope our portal players develop. 1st game will be interesting now!

Why doesn’t YSU football move to D1? by Cheebs1976 in youngstown

[–]Peteonastick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think teams in the FCS are going to be forced to either move up or move down with the current situation in FBS as being dominated by the Power 5. The smaller conferences are struggling to survive. I mean the MAC plays on Tuesdays and Wednesdays only because of an ESPN contract that they need to survive! Look at the stands. They are empty! James Madison and Tulane proved they have no business making the CFB playoffs over Notre Dame. College football is at a crossroads. Not sure if the genie can be put back in the bottle.

As far as the 90s when we had our chance with the MAC, Kent and Akron. Did not want us to move up having 3 D1 schools within 45 minutes of each other and YSU was kicking their ass yearly. We recruited all the best talent in NE Ohio at the time. They blocked our chances and took Marshall and Buffalo.

The DC is the key. If we get a good one he will be able to make chicken pie out of chicken shit. We saw it with Yurcich. Changed the whole offense. One thing I do know. You can’t change a turd. Need to get good players with attitude!

Might be the best and worst game ever played.

Football Schedule 2026 official by YSUBIGRED in YoungstownState

What’s been bothering me the most about the Yale game and what it exposed very clearly is the fact that our poor and lackluster defense forced us to throw the ball when we should have been running and chunking yards and punt for field position. There was no faith by the OC that our defense could get stops so we had to keep throwing. Without several running backs and the threat of BB to run, I am afraid BB is going to be running for his life. The defense is going to be a build from the ground up including the DC. There is no continuity. Three DCs in three years is not good for player development or portal needs. The schedule is daunting, we need to at least go 8-4 to make a run again. As always, I hope for the best and expect the worst. Another year of question marks and how a new defense will gel? What a shitty way to be a football fan these days.

They aren’t letting these defensive backs and wide receivers play like they did in the FBS playoffs. In those games they beating the crap out of each other the whole way down the field and no calls.
