The way Yough football coach Jim Wehner looks at his team's nationally televised WPIAL Class AA Interstate Conference game against No. 1 Jeannette on Friday, there is nothing to lose.
"When Appalachian State played at Michigan on Sept. 1, no one gave it a chance to win," Wehner said. "Well, we're in the same position. No one outside the WPIAL knows where Yough is."
Wehner isn't predicting a victory, but he just wants his team to play Yough football and enjoy the stage.
The Yough (1-1, 1-1) and Jeannette (2-0, 2-0) game will be televised by ESPNU.
It's the third consecutive game this season in which Jeannette has appeared on TV. Yough was on FSN Pittsburgh in 2005 at Belle Vernon.
"That's what we've been telling the players," Wehner said. "We should feel privileged that were on national TV. I don't think they realize the game is on TV.
"If you can't get fired up for a game on national TV, you won't be ready for any game. If I was playing, I'd be excited to play."
