YSU beginning to gear up for Duquesne

YOUNGSTOWN — Now the fun begins - or at least it does soon.

The Youngstown State football team had their first practice where gameplanning about Duquesne was a large area. The home opener is this Thursday against the Dukes and now the offense is learning how to attack a different defensive style.

“The next four to five days are getting our guys used to a stacked 30 front that’s different than what we do,” YSU head coach Bo Pelini said. “So there’s adjustments there that will need to be made to get our guys comfortable.”
