Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State Football opens season vs. Purdue

[GastonLion]

Defense is uninspiring and offense is slow to develop plays. I hope we turn it around in the second half.

 

[GregInPitt]

Running game, east/west with the slowest RB playing, looks like we are trying to run the clock out.

 

[psualt]

Lee carrying too much weight. Way too slow.

edit: make a great fullback

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

It's only been four drives but the difference between Singleton, Allen, and even Devyn Ford compared to when lee is in the game is stark.

 

[83772]

Two Lambert Smith drops and a missed pick six by JPJ...same team so far.

#1 WR KLS CAN’T CATCH..

 

[Biffkin]

Run the ball WIDE PLEASE, the outside is wide open.

 

[LandoComando]

Not sure I've ever seen three defensive penalties on one play before

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Purdue had not one, not two, but three penalities on their last play. That's a first.

 

[83772]

Right side OL high school boys

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

I know that was incomplete but that was another perfectly thrown ball by Clifford.

 

[GregInPitt]

And the 2nd down run with Lee getting a few yards, where a faster back is in the secondary.....

 

[junior1]

Every part of this defense, including the overhyped secondary, is lousy.

Its the schemes. You can't play soft zone against purdue

 

[LandoComando]

I know that was incomplete but that was another perfectly thrown ball by Clifford.

Yupp--he's been great today

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Keyvone Lee had a big hole that could've led to a first down or more but just doesn't have the speed to get there. 3rd & 6.

 

[christoph]

It’s the same team as last year

 

[PAgeologist]

Buckle up gents. It's going to be a long year.

 

[psualt]

Clifford getting happy feet

 

[Obliviax]

We lost the momentum without penalty. This is a big series the Chi Purdue pinned back in their own territory

 

[GregInPitt]

Run the ball WIDE PLEASE, the outside is wide open.

Yep, but Lee is not going to get there.....

 

[scrivener]

A TE isn't going to make that play...least of all Strange.

 

[LandoComando]

Did Purdue pay Charlie Jones big time money or something?
Odd he left Iowa

 

[83772]

Singleton as the RB and Ford as the passing RB

 

[wilbury]

Tinsley stopped his route

 

[NCLION]

Zero explosive plays
our O looks like we are in quicksand

 

[LandoComando]

Lee might be entering the portal in a couple weeks

 

[GregInPitt]

Clifford getting happy feet

yep, would rather see him try and run rather than force a bad throw when he didn't set up .....

Hopefully Singleton is in for the next series.

 

[fkkkjm]

This team sucks. Franklin sucks.

 

[Coultr77]

It's only been four drives but the difference between Singleton, Allen, and even Devyn Ford compared to when lee is in the game is stark.

Yet they keep putting him in

 

[83772]

Our LB’s look like thin boys

 

[Biffkin]

Who said Lee was faster this year, He looked slow on that last run. He should have gained at least 15yds

 

[PSU10]

Not that that drive was all his fault but that should be the last series for Lee for a while

 

[junior1]

Clifford getting happy feet

Has anybody noticed how many defenders are within 5 yards of LOS? Why are we running on 1st and 2nd downs? Michigan state all over again

 

[ram2020]

MY hasn't added anything to our offense since he has been here. I thought he was some guru. We are always behind the chains, rarely a wr open anywhere.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Who said Lee was faster this year, He looked slow on that last run. He should have gained at least 15yds

Did someone say that?

 

[Parkerdam555]

Basically any series with Lee is a wasted series

 

[tlbakernc]

Clifford getting happy feet

Clifford could have ran for 15 yards on that one play. But instead holds onto the ball to long and made bad throw.

 

[YeOldeCup]

lol--he smashed the helmet you can see it live then we saw it on multiple replays. Take off the blue shades

Dear Lord you're obtuse. These calls are subjective, which is why they are reviewed and can be overturned -- irrespective of what your extremely biased opinion may be. As you lend nothing objective to this board, welcome to ignore.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Also pretty evident that Clifford isn't willing to run as much (so far). Felt like he would've taken off on a few plays already.

 

[LandoComando]

Who said Lee was faster this year, He looked slow on that last run. He should have gained at least 15yds

Someone said that?

 

[NittanyChris]

Opportune time for a turnover.
