It's currently cold and wet. Not pouring rain just kind of constant at times. From the press box, I can't tell if it's raining right now or not, so if it is, its currently light.

By radar, looks like not too bad until 5:00. Then heavy rain for a half hour. Steady light rain for the second half

 

[Obliviax]

Harrison Wallace starting at WR today

 

[LandoComando]

Just get out injury free--hopefully the starters are on the bench to start the second half.

 

[tlbakernc]

Look for a very vanilla game on both sides of the ball.

 

[ao5884]

I wish they would stop talking about Ohio State. Worry about this game first.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State had a deep shot drawn up but to no avail, nobody was open for the Nittany Lions.

 

[fastlax16]

Announcers talking about a Don Brown defense never gets old…

 

[MohawkLion]

Oh noes!!!! Not DON BROWN!

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State's first offensive turnover of the season comes as former Nittany Lion forces a Trey Wallace fumble.

 

[LandoComando]

Get that out of the system today

Better to get the first one out of the way...still disappointing -- as has that entire WR room been, sans KLS.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Might actually be an interception…don’t think Wallace had possession, but also not sure it hit the ground.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Taisun Phommachanh may not survive today.

 

[LandoComando]

Taisun Phommachanh may not survive today.

Already feel bad for the kid.

 

[USPMAN]

Is that Tyler Rudolph as in the old PSU db?

 

[scrivener]

Warren is big time...what a job he has done really supplanting Theo as the dude in that room.

 

[NittanyChris]

Drew overthrew him. Oh well.

 

[scrivener]

This pass game is brutal...and embarrassing for how much time Allar has had to throw for most of the yr.

 

[LMTLION]

Pathetic showing by the offense.

 

[PSUcup1]

Embarrassing effort by Ioane

 

[LandoComando]

It's early. They're sleepwalking against an inferior opponent. See Michigan today. Just can't do this next week.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Pathetic showing by the offense.

You guys said that our offense is great this year.

 

[Psubiomed]

Wow very bad

 

[NittanyChris]

You guys said that our offense is great this year.

Relax.

 

[lazydave841]

Vega missing the stunt. 5 man front bluff into a 4 man rush.

 

[creamery freak]

Typical bye week look. Glad it's UMass.

 

[LandoComando]

There's valid concerns but teams start slow. Michigan gave up three first quarter sacks today then scored on 8 straight possessions. We'll be fine today. We'll find out how good we are next week. All that said, no one should have any confidence in Singleton right now.

again, so far the OL stinks. trautwein?

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State's first touchdown of the game comes on special teams as Daequan Hardy returns a punt for the score. It was a 56-yard touchdown punt return for Hardy.

 

[scrivener]

It's been 'early' for 6 weeks now offensively, as people claim. Why is it difficult to come out sharp and ready to go offensively? Because that side of the ball isn't very good. The defense will likely decide the fate of this season.

 

[Crusher1950]

Where’s the offense? Thought we had a chance against OSU guess not

Oh for sure...we just have to hope the offense limits turnovers and can score 17 or so against good teams.

 

[dswartz]

Stats don't lie... but maybe you're not aware that football games are actually played over 4 quarters, not just the first 10 minutes of the 1st quarter in a game being played in shitty weather condtions... stupid post.
