FYI only, read nothing else into his. Bo on a run...

[HuskerOH]

Youngstown State 40, No. 3 seed Jacksonville State 24



Story Line: Youngstown State continued its spectacular return to the FCS playoffs after a 10-year absence. The Penguins never trailed in the game, Jody Webb rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns, quarterback Hunter Wells threw for 290 yards and a touchdown and Zak Kennedy kicked four field goals.



Game Ball: The YSU secondary helped limit Jacksonville State quarterback Eli Jenkins to 6 of 26 passing. Free safety LeRoy Alexander and nickel back D.J. Thomas had interceptions and cornerback David Rivers III collected three pass breakups. Defensive backs had six of the defense's eight pass breakups.



Key Stat: While YSU's secondary excelled, JSU's defensive backs didn't against the pass as the Penguins averaged 28.6 yards on 11 completions. Included were a 70-yard touchdown pass to Damoun Patterson to open the scoring and an 85-yard completion to Darien Townsend.



The Takeaway: That Missouri Valley teams are much stronger than Ohio Valley Conference teams is obvious. What's coming into focus is the Penguins have one of the more talented teams in the nation (bookend defensive ends Derek Rivers and Avery Moss are scary good).



Up Next: Youngstown State (10-3) has an unexpected home game in the quarterfinals, hosting Wofford (10-3) next Saturday. The Penguins beat another Southern Conference team, Samford, in the first round.

Great job Bo, keep it rolling in FCS

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

Going all the way. Go Bo

 

[cornhustler]

If only Nebraska would have dropped down to FCS! We would be well on our way!

 

[TFrazier]

Should this go in an "Other Teams" forum?

 

[OO Snipes]

Avery moss would have been useful this year

 

[otismotis08]

WIshing Bo success.

 

[Tuco Salamanca]

Who saw this coming?

 

[donahues17]

Wonder what recruiting is like in the FCS.

 

[jeans15]

Good for Bo and his PLAYERS. They are experiencing something they will always remember....it's not like he is onlying one of 3 coaches to never win less than 9 games in first 7 years of coaching FBS football...


That should be enough gasoline .

 

[Pennsyhusker]

There is little doubt that Pelini knows the x's and o's of football and can coach. That was not the issue when he was here. The issue was recruiting and character. Ohio is a recruiters dream and it can be done with minimal effort for an FCS school competing for the lesser athletes. But Pelini, with his distaste for recruiting, was never a good fit here since Nebraska's location absolutely requires a great recruiter at the helm.
Then of course there was the issue of his character. And that needs no comment.

 

[NikkiSixx]

The last thread about this got deleted pretty quickly.

Lots of people still can't let that topic go, doesn't matter which side you are on, people it seems are going moan and complain about it for years to come.

 

[HBK4life]

Pretty easy, just take the top players that get kicked out of NU with you. Avery and Leroy say hi

 

[otismotis08]

Who saw this coming?

I generally don't wish failure on anyone. Thankfully, Bo is gone from here.
That is all.

 

[HuskerRick]

Bo made his own bed in Lincoln, believe the Texas A&M game and the Championship Game with Texas is what derailed his sanity. He never recovered, but it's time to put this where it belongs in the past. Just hoping the lapses in games are going to disappear along with him.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

I'm certainly not rooting against him, but I ain't rooting for him either. He falls under the "whatevs" category for me.

 

[inWV]

I suspect Bo can be very successful at the 1-AA level if he chooses to stay there.

 

[dinglefritz]

His behavior was off the rails when he was Frank's DC and THAT was one of the reasons Frank warned Tom not to hire him. Anytime your DC goes after Bill Snyder in a physically and verbally threatening manner after a game.....well there's yer sign.

 

[GeauxBigRed]

Congrats Bo! I will root for him, guy knows football. It was the other things that did him in here.

He always should have cut his teeth at the FCS level before moving up but no one in their right mind would turn down Nebraska in his situation.5

I'm sure he will be a good coach down the line but I'm happy with where we are now.

 

[HuskerO]

Pretty easy, just take the top players that get kicked out of NU with you. Avery and Leroy say hi

Yup, once Moss and Alexander graduate they'll take a small step back. Those 2 are legit and could have been All Conference at the FBS level.

Bo will be 8-4 to 9-3 every year at YSU. Nothing wrong with that either.

 

[cornhead1]

I lost my sanity in the Texas AM game also...disgusting performance by the striped team

 

[cubsker]

yeah, i still don't know why anyone gets upset at Pelini for his actions during the A&M game. That game was flat out rigged and anyone arguing otherwise is delusional.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Agreed. That game had the most blatantly rigged officiating I have ever seen. They did not even try to hide their bias.
That said... Bo was still out of control and was a total fool for acting the way he did. There is a proper way to deal with such issues and an improper way. He chose the latter.

 

[Red I 73]

Wonder what recruiting is like in the FCS.

He just picks up the former Huskers who turned out to be egg heads before they were asked to leave

 

[headcard]

So if they lose next week, they will be 10-4. Some things never change.

 

[JohnRossEwing]

Are they in the 3rd round of the playoffs now?

 

[MOhusker12]

Are they in the 3rd round of the playoffs now?

In his next interview for a FBS job Bo will point out how he led YSU to the 3rd round of the playoffs which is further than any FBS school has ever been.

Agree. To this day never seen anything like it. Can't even remember the final penalty count and too lazy to look it up but it was even worse than the final tally -- several times in the second half they threw 2 flags on us on the same play and TAMU got to choose which penalty they wanted. Zebras must have got confused whose turn it was to toss it.

16 penalties on Nebraska for 140 yards
2 penalties on A$M for 10 yards.

And one flag picked up and waved off after A$M blatantly interfered with our receiver. No explanation was ever given.

The thing that bothered me most about that game though was the penalty against Cotton for kicking a guy who was assaulting him. I can understand the refs not seeing that happen and only catching the retaliation by Cotton, but the Big XII did nothing about that at all. I think I recall A&M making the kid run stairs or something, but that was the extent of his punishment.

Also that "roughing the passer" call on Courtney Osborne was asinine.

Leroy Alexander and Avery Moss would have changed the complexion of our Defense this year. Especially Moss.

In the end it all was for the best. Bo's gone and we are in the best and most stable conference in the country. No more Texass size egos and bullshit. Hallelujah, amen

I always thought it was Lawrence Pete who routinely urinated in the study carrels on Harper 2 because he was too lazy to walk to the bathroom on other side of the floor
