It’s 3 hours until kickoff, and Penn State calls its first timeout.

Let's see if we can get the ship steering in the right direction today.

You know, lots of times, when teams are in this situation, where they have the talent, but have been just hanging around....they start to eliminate mistakes, get a little better at the few weak spots.

You turn around in game 5 of the following season, and they flash the statistic, "Hasn't lost in the last 9 games" or something like that.

That's what we need - eliminate mistakes, play clean football. improve on the lines.....everything can look really good.

We will see.

Where is Corso on the carnival barker show?

Did see a good sign though: "Urban thought she said TAP dance."

Hope you can stay 'safe' in the lots with all those tailgaters

If the Jerzey Bois R comin heavy,
Then deep breathe and young Elvis,
When he was shakin knees and pelvis
Copying the 1935 single dance by Steddy Eddy

Drunken confession

I secretly enjoy listening to Millen

SC not so accurate thus far. Get warmed up quickly bud. It’s cold out.

Not so accurate? Not even close to accurate is more like it.

 

[dogwood3131]

Clifford could miss the next 35 open receivers and Christian still will not see the field. This game means literally nothing.. let the kid get reps. No wonder we don't develop second string Qbs.

 

[BudatPSU]

For a game day this site is pretty dead!

 

[AvgUser]

We’re following the lead of the big O

Somebody please tell me that Clifford was recognized on Senior Day.

 

[dogwood3131]

This OLine is pathetic. How the hell your not getting younger guys like tengwell (sp) reps blows my mind. We have entire year of evidence that the guys playing up front are not good enough... Try ****ing something else

Clifford is definitely not on the mark right now

So far - so is the Penn State offense …….

 

[PSUcup1]

This offense is so bad

 

[christoph]

I know everything negative has already been said. But boy is this game like the dark years

 

[BudatPSU]

Must be that what is there is the best available, sigh.

 

[Crusher1950]

Say what you want this offense is from the 1930 they suck

 

[NittanyChris]

Landon Tengwall sighting!

 

[PSUcup1]

My god. Painful to watch

 

[jjw165]

This one has all the makings of a low scoring punt fest.

 

[PSULionsDub]

At least Rutgers is as bad as Penn State

 

[BriCarPSU]

Can anyone block😡

 

[bdgan]

I'm starting to think we could lose this game.

It must be the facilities.

 

[BudatPSU]

Can anyone block😡

NOPE!

 

[bdgan]

At least Rutgers is as bad as Penn State

Only because of field position

 

[bdgan]

Porter with another PI penalty

 

[LMTLION]

It is a putrid display on offense and on defense Porter cannot cover without a PI.

 

[okinburg1]

Wow, PI on Joey Porter Jr. That's his first this season, right?
[sarcasm font]

 

[LionDeNittany]

Let's not forget, this is Rutgers.
God we suck.
This team is uninspired

 

[bdgan]

3 straight penalties

 

[BudatPSU]

Play smart Brown.

 

[okinburg1]

In a game where punting and field position are presumably going to loom large, RU flipping the field is big.

 

[LionDeNittany]

Holy Cow. We have a new backup who can snap the ball without a false start?

 

[Phil's Rug]

Clifford banged up, Christian V in

 

[okinburg1]

PSU with 34 yards of offense and one 1st down in Q1, plus 3 penalties. Webster's dictionary should list that as the definition of "inauspicious start."
