YOUNGSTOWN — There won’t be any second chances when the Youngstown State football team takes the field against Yale on Saturday.

Win and advance to face Montana State, or lose and go home. Those are the only two outcomes.

The Penguins are aware of this fact, and the word “focus” has been said by Penguins head coach Doug Phillips a couple times since the FCS playoff brackets were released on Sunday.

“It just means a lot that we get to spend one more week together. The second half this past Saturday (against Northern Iowa), that’s what we talked about, fighting for an extra week with our brothers,” YSU junior linebacker Carston Marshall said. “I think it’s great that we get to have a home playoff game here in Youngstown.”
