Football: YSU Announces 2001 Football Schedule
    Youngstown – The 2001 Youngstown State University football schedule will feature seven home games, first-year Head Coach Jon Heacock announced on Wednesday. The Penguins will play four of seven Gateway Football Conference games at Stambaugh Stadium.
    "Obviously, anytime you have seven home games it is a big help to your team," Heacock said. "The bottom line is we have to play well at home. In the past we’ve played well in Stambaugh (Stadium) and the Gateway is a tough conference to play in, so I think it will definitely help."
    The Penguins open the 2001 campaign at home against Lock Haven on Thursday, Aug. 30, at 7:30 p.m. and Clarion on Sept. 8, 7 p.m.
    Youngstown State then travels to Mid-American Conference foe Toledo, which went 10-1 last season and finished ranked No. 25 in the final Associated Press poll, on Sept 15 for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
    The Penguins return to Stambaugh Stadium to open Gateway Football Conference play against defending league champion Western Illinois on Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. After a two-game road-trip to Northern Iowa on Sept 29 at 5:05 p.m. and Indiana State on Oct. 6 at 7:30 p.m., the Penguins host Southwest Missouri State on Oct. 13 at 4 p.m..
    The 2001 YSU Homecoming Game is slated for Oct. 20 against Illinois State at 4 p.m. while the Penguins close out the three-game homestand against first-year Gateway Conference member and NCAA I-AA playoff participant Western Kentucky on Oct. 27 at 4 p.m.
    The Penguins finish Gateway action at Southern Illinois on Nov. 3 at 1:30 p.m. After an open week on Nov. 10, the Penguins conclude the 2001 regular season at home against Wofford on Nov. 17 at 1 p.m.
