the Quarterfinal match up again is here in Youngstown vs. Illinois State.
Here are the stats the first time these two teams played this season:

couldn't get the table to format, so here's my summary -
ysu out rushed ill. st. 345 yards to 18 yards. Marcus Mason had 176 of those and qb Tom Zetts had 110.
ill state was also 10-31 passing for 143 yards
ysu was -2 in the turnover margin and had 8 penalties for 60 yards compared to 1 for 5 yards that the redbirds had.
ysu won 27-13
not saying this will be an easy game for YSU, since it is the playoffs and all.. but the penguins seemed to have all the answers for Ill St. the first time they played (which was in their stadium..this time it's a home game).
I'm expecting Mason to continue racking up rushing yards and a comfortable win.
