Football GAMEDAY THREAD: No. 11 Penn State vs. Northwestern

[Parkerdam555]

Wow. That was bad.

 

[LandoComando]

It was a sloppy first half but we completely dominated them...just have to limit the turnovers. Singleton might not even play next week after his performance today. Guess that depends on the deal with Allen

 

[KCLion]

Solid first half--just have to clean up the turnovers before next week

Not worried about any turnovers next week,

Singleton is definitely not playing next week since it's our bye week.

Change week to game then

Only those from the bakery shop.

Sorry--game

If I saw it right… I think effner played the entire 2nd quarter… how Wallace can be a 3rd year offensive tackle and still not be very good is pretty discouraging.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

I guess Kaytron Allen was suspended for the first half? He's out there now for Penn State.

Also a Twitter rumor that Ford is transferring....this same person said Kaytron was suspended the 1st half?

I haven't heard anything but I can do some digging.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

nice to be able to pick up short yardages on occasion

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

The defensive player absolutely did enter the Neutral zone - another utterly horseshit call.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

what bull

get ready for a truckload of it in two weeks

 

[Phil's Rug]

Good grief

 

[scrivener]

Is it a foreign concept for our running backs to wear gloves… like it's absolutely idiotic not to

 

[NCLION]

We need Allen from here on out

 

[ryoder1]

This is a joke with these fumbles. Horrible, no excuses.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

what bull

The NW player jumps and resets on his hand - his hand absolutely crosses and lands on the PSU side of the LOS.

 

[PSUEngineer89]

I see Purdue upset Minnesota, fwiw.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

If only they knew it was gonna be a torrential downpour for the game.

 

[BudatPSU]

I am trying to remember, did Franklin exhibit this much anger at himself when he screwed up games in the past ?

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Wow! J'Ayir Brown.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Lee has come a long way. It wasn't long ago that he carried the ball rather loosely and could hardly be trusted to protect the football in conditions like this.

This did not age well.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

I was going to go ballistic

 

[LandoComando]

Let's see if people complain about that call against Northwestern lol

 

[NCLION]

I think the tackle for NW jumped and that was call
Weird one though

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Anything besides that dumbfounded look, staring at the jumbotron is much appreciated.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Penn State outgained Northwestern 202-78 in that first half. The defense has played great, the offense has been able to move the ball but Nick Singleton's two turnovers have been costly. The weather definitely affecting playcalling in this one.

I am at a loss to understand why we are not passing more. In wet conditions the offense has an advantage.

 

[NedFromYork]

I would like to see us go back to under center more in some of those short yardage situations.

 

[LandoComando]

I am at a loss to understand why we are not passing more. In wet conditions the offense has an advantage.

We're just playing safe--we know Northwestern can't do anything

 

[fastlax16]

Is the equipment manager fresh out of gloves? Where’s Spider when you need him?

 

[AWS1022]

I am at a loss to understand why we are not passing more. In wet conditions the offense has an advantage.

I’d like to see them just dink and dunk.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

It became Illegal motion on NW because the NW shifters started jumping around causing the OL to come out of their stance. The PSU defenders went back onsides without touching a NW player and none of the set OL moved. What caused the OL to move was the two shifters jumping up-and-down yelling offsides. It is not Defensive Offsides if the Defenders get back one-sides without the set OL moving.

 

[ryoder1]

Pur

I see Purdue upset Minnesota, fwiw.

Purdue is not good. Be quiet and strike that result from the record books. Until O$U trounces them by 30 then they are considered a solid team.

 

[Spydersgirl]

Playing to the level of our competition…this is a coaching/leadership issue. We have the talent…just not the will.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

We're just playing safe--we know Northwestern can't do anything

The RBs have fumbled 3 times.

 

[Nittany18]

This offense is lethargic.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

I don't get it. Two runs and then a deep, long, low-percentage pass to the sideline while conditions make coverage difficult. Where are the curl patterns? Where is the hitch and go? Why make it so easy for the defense?
