Springfield, OH — As the autumn leaves fall and the skies turn grey, one thing remains vividly clear: Tiger Nation is ready for the playoffs. With the regular season concluded, Steve Leslie and Donovan Tydings, hosts of the “YSN Tiger’s Table,” caught up with the Springfield Tigers to discuss the road ahead.
In the latest episode, Leslie couldn’t contain his enthusiasm as he declared it Week One of the playoffs, despite it technically being Week 11 of the season.

The Tigers’ success has granted them the much-coveted home-field advantage for the first playoff round at Tiger Stadium.
Senior offensive and defensive lineman Donovan Tydings joined the show, sharing insights on the team’s journey and what lies ahead. Tydings highlighted the unity and continual improvement of the offensive and defensive lines as key factors for their success. Yet, he admitted there’s always room for better execution and focus, particularly when it comes to reducing pre-snap penalties. Having navigated through a challenging season, the Tigers have proven their mettle, especially during key moments like their decisive win over Mineral Ridge, which showcased their versatile offense. “We can run the ball, we can throw the ball, and score,” said Tydings, reflecting on the confidence that game instilled in the team.
