Youngstown State prepares to face Duquesne at Stambaugh Stadium

Youngstown State returns home this week following a 32-point loss against Kentucky to host Duquesne on Saturday, September 12. The non-conference matchup at Stambaugh Stadium is scheduled for a 2 p.m. kickoff. While Youngstown State holds a 6-1 all-time series lead over the Dukes, the team is looking for redemption after falling to Duquesne during their previous meeting at the Ice Castle in 2024. Wide receiver Lynn Wyhce-El enters the game after recording 7 catches for 111 yards and a touchdown against Kentucky. Head coach Doug Phillips noted that the program is focused on adapting to the challenges presented by the Dukes, who have previously reached the FCS playoffs. Players are emphasizing a fresh start as they look to conclude their non-conference schedule before beginning conference play.
