Brent Pry calls out PSU

We have been too busy upgrading our defense since he left to care. He is 9-14 at VT. You know that Bloomsburg could have better success in the ACC.
Context for the comment?
Andy relaying Bitter thoughts about something.
Seems pretty odd considering how long he worked with Franklin (going back to Vanderbilt). Did they have some sort of falling out?
Franklin said Manny took our defense “to the next level “. Maybe Pry felt slighted by the manny love
Well,
In the last two yrs are players tacking improved exceptionally during the last decade
Jumping fractured syntax, and organized thought process failure, what in the hell are you trying to say here Step? Did you hit the Boilo jug early this morning.
Pry=grabbed defeat from the jaws of victory vs U$C in 2017 Rose Bowl. Enough said.
A guy at work is going to be visiting his wife’s extended clan in NEPA for the first time. I mentioned that he might run into Boilo. He was not amused after reading several Boilo recipes
I will wait until I hear it straight from Brent’s mouth, before jumping to conclusions. We all know how reporters operate.
What I’ll always remember from Pry was 2017 at home vs Nebraska. NU was a disaster and had already fired mike riley although he finished out the year. It was #13 PSU 42-10 at halftime. Pry’s defense allowed 34 points in the second half. We won 56-44. Had we not scored another point in the 2nd half, we’d have blown a 32 pt lead and lost.
Agree with Gitzit....sounds like the WR, not Pry said this. That's why I hate and don't use X (Twitter). It's built to divide and cause confusion and disinformation.
Remembering that recent generations of ”journalists” engage in making/creating news and controversy , as much as actually reporting the news, I’d take this with a grain of salt until completely verified and in context. JMO
I’m not a major fan of Pry, but context is important here. — We were just coming off of the worst sanctions in history, and were BARELY “one deep” …. Especially on defense ( Diaz was “three deep” with talent). — Our best ( or 2nd best) linebacker got hurt ( Bell?) in the second half and a walk on or freshman played ( can’t remember which , but way down on the depth chart) . Between being winded, and having 2nd and 3rd teamers playing, our defense was not very good…..especially after injuries in the second half.
While this is accurate, Pry didn’t seem to make any adjustments. In his defense, probably because he didn’t have the talent. But good Lord I still see shovel pass after shovel pass, and jet sweep after jet sweep in my nightmares of that game.
That game was thr Lamont Wade special. He got torched the entire 2nd half
Since I don’t understand what he said, I can’t exactly say it was the first thing I thought of. But I think it was.
Or second, because my first thought was “yet another headline that doesn’t match the story”. It’s the WR who says it.
He probably didn’t makes some adjustments that he could have….or should have, but this game wasn’t on him. — A very tired “One deep”…( or less ) defense of walk ons , 2 stars, 3 stars, and a few 4 stars gave up 52 points to a team of “three deep” 4 star and 5 star talent…. At their HOME STADIUM. And BTW, a mostly “ one deep” offense scorched their “three deep” 4&5 star defense for 49 points. —- I hated the result, but the effort by PSU was awesome
Virginia Tech Inks 16 To 2024 Class On Early Signing Day
Virginia Tech has some momentum right now, and the job the Hokies are doing in-state while holding off some big-hitters is a chance of pace.
And that horrible meltdown vs OSU in 2017 after we built a nice lead and there's more.....blowing a 12 point lead to OSU in 2018 in the final 8 minutes. I still can see whatever WR it was for them catching it over the middle for what should have been about a 10 yard gain but proceeding to take it to the house as half the PSU defense missed tackles and the other half were out of position.
Under Manny, once given a lead, the defense usually didn't immediately allow a game tying drive the last 2 years. That was the norm under Pry.
Tackling has improved tremendously the last two years compared to the previous decade.
I was not a fan of pry. I thought he was average. He had too many games where he was out coached (see the Minnesota game) and he gave up multiple double digit leads that killed us in huge games against USC, and more importantly, against OSU.
We were markedly better with Diaz.
They didn't exactly create turnovers for us in those games which is usually needed to beat top teams. Also couldn't stop the run against Michigan well enough to force them to put it in the air.
Completely agree about Pry. Our D blew 2 score plus leads in crucial games. Not sure what to expect with Allen. I hope he delivers but I don't think he is as good as Diaz.
Was there bad blood between Pry and Franklin? I don’t know why Pry would even mention it. It’s not like PSU and VT play each other. Plus, Pry’s coming off a 6-6 season where he lost to teams like Rutgers, Purdue, and Marshall. He’ll likely finish 6-7 after losing to Tulane in the bowl.
