The poor empty Ice Castle...wow...

bad forecast comined with cold and rainy morning doomed whatever chance they had for decent crowd

 

[fourthandshort]

not sure who is centering those snaps .. but last couple weeks, too many of those shotgun snaps are floating too high and above Kolbes head, which has to take him ou tof rhythm.

 

[fourthandshort]

they have their backup QB start the half

 

[fourthandshort]

3rd and 10, lucky it was dropped .. they punt

 

[fourthandshort]

what was that horrible looking 1st play ??

followed by nice run by Smith for 1sr diown

 

[fourthandshort]

someone tell Kolbe to keep one of those .. my gosh he was so open on that read option !!!

 

[fourthandshort]

TD Robinson !!! after nice 15 yard keeper by Kolbe

 

[StLRedbird]

TD Robinson !!! after nice 15 yard keeper by Kolbe

These QB draws seem to work for Kolbe

 

[fourthandshort]

would be nice to hold them to FG here ....

... or a pick in end zone !!!!

Glass made nice sliding pic

 

[StLRedbird]

Glass with the pick in the endzone!

 

[DecBirds08]

keep that shutout, great pick!

 

[fourthandshort]

frickin Robinson again for 20+ yards

 

[DecBirds08]

1, 2 punch can't be stopped right now

 

[fourthandshort]

frickin Smith this time .. 25+ yards

 

[fourthandshort]

Run game thru 3 qtrs

Markel Smith 18 124
James Robinson 19 113
Jake Kolbe 2 23
Malachi Broadnax 2 7
Total 41 267

I'd say OC Dicken has figured out the run game with this young OL. I don;t mind that we put pass game on ice today. This was very important statement game and learning game for our OL and run offense. We have to be good at this if we're going to have well balanced offense against better teams.

 

[DecBirds08]

now get that shutout! 35-0!

 

[fourthandshort]

The DT had Robinson wrapped up and couldn't hang on to him .. TD Robinson !!

what sucks is this statement win will look weaker by end of season. YSU was a top 10-15 team .. injuries and playing toughest FCS schedule did them in this year.

Really, it should look weaker. That ain't a top 10-15 we're playing today.
