On last night’s edition of Hawk Talk on U92 and the Renda Digital TV YouTube channel, IUP coach Paul Tortorella explained why he was so upset with his team on Saturday after the 44-21 win over Shippensburg. Tortorella told Jack Benedict that the number of mental mistakes made by his players was unacceptable, ranging from bad penalties to turnovers to the failure to convert in short yardage situations.
The coach said the team played forty minutes of good football, but they lost their mental edge in the third quarter.
Tortorella expects Saturday’s Hall of Fame Game against Mercyhurst to be difficult, based on what he sees of this year’s team and what he knows of the history of the series with the Lakers.
The Hall of Fame game on Saturday kicks off at 4 PM at George P. Miller Stadium. You’ll hear it on 92.5 FM U92 and the U92 Sportschannel.
