Game Thread, PSU - Pitt

[PSU Mike]

We really missed Cabinda on that first Pitt drive.

That would have changed so much ....

 

[christoph]

Coaching not the prob I meant

 

[blion72]

Are we still blaming the sanctions? I just want to make sure I am using the right set of 'talking points'.

Trying to play new LB crew at last minute is big impact on D

 

[rudedude]

Two fumbles - Trace does have small hands.

More like Mahon big slow ass vs McSorley's hands. His elbow was hit by the Pitt player's helmet.

 

[PennSt8er]

Sanders not making good decisions on KR

 

[Pocono Lion]

Why do our KO returns suck so bad?

 

[21Guns]

We really missed Cabinda on that first Pitt drive.

oh please, for christ sake, nobody was even near them.

Coaching has alot to do with it.. Remember Pitt sucks..

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

You have a full roster. It's time to quit making excuses.

You're right ... a full roster of freshman and sophomores with upper classmen recruited under sanctions (see offensive line).

 

[supermatt24]

The sad part is that Pitt isn't even a good team.

 

[Bardo]

Coaching is effing awful

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Have to hunker down and get back to the game plan. Nice catch and run by MG.

 

[Pocono Lion]

McSorley is over his head.

 

[mrtailgate]

What the hell was up with that punt?

 

[83wuzme]

Wasn't the OL supposed to be better ?

 

[AWS1022]

Coaching is effing awful

And the play is great...come on, a coach can't block someone or hold onto the ball.

 

[Yboby]

Beginning to think CJF did not take this game seriously. Team appears totally unprepared.

Probably looking ahead to the Temple game.

 

[NCLION]

QB isn't playing bad actually
As usual its OLine
Plus two games in Barkley looks very ordinary

 

[MichaelJackSchmidt]

A net 30 punt

 

[NittanyPirate]

#53 managed to not touch anyone on several plays on the same possession. Literally didn't put his hands on a Pitt defender 3 times.

 

[shak66_psu]

McSorley is over his head.

Actually the problem is his head is 5" too low and he can't see anything

 

[Nittany18]

Play calling is horrible and this team is just not athletic enough.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Another decent drive by PSU, especially the pass to Gesicki. Alas, an incomplete on 1st down, a low percentage pass to Polk who gained 3 yards on a great effort, and then a incomplete pass to Sa Sa that had no chance (and would have been short of a 1st down) end the drive.

Need some continuity on offense, and need to give the D more rest in this heat & humidity.

 

[Locolion]

Beginning of the end for JF! VERY BAD COACH!!!!!!!!!

Nah. They are older, better. We are too young. Wil be better next yr

 

[StinkStankStunk]

This one is over boys

when one team has legit, big, mature D1 linemen on both sides of the ball.......and the other team doesn't:

There ain't no "smoke and mirrors" you can go to to counter that


Hopefully they stay relatively healthy and on to Temple


BTW 43 is already the 2nd best - if not the best -LBer on the defense. And that is both good and bad

 

[biacto]

WTMF are they doing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[danvillenit]

Play calling isn't the issue. What plays do you suggest

 

[AWS1022]

QB isn't playing bad actually
As usual its OLine
Plus two games in Barkley looks very ordinary

He's hardly touched the ball.

 

[fairgambit]

Nah. They are older, better. We are too young. Wil be better next yr

Exactly.

Yeah, that had me yelling at the TV.

 

[Yboby]

Exactly.

 

[Nitt1300]

there's a lot of quit in some of you guys- it's very early, relax

 

[b&w1987]

Big Thunder and lightening storm overhead where I'm at in Texas. Direct TV out ... thank you.

I actually expected Barkley to average 200 per game this year. Best RB in B1G. He has looked so average for some reason. His OL was way worse last year. Strange.

 

[captain pipe]

GAME!
OVER!

Pretty bad when you can no longer compete with Pitt.

 

[b&w1987]

Time to man up D.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

REID!!!!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

good stop by the D. Pitt with their 1st punt, and Reid nearly takes it to the house!

 

[b&w1987]

A play!

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

That's a plus. Got to score here
