Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State vs. Michigan

[tlbakernc]

Our Mike LB is too slow

 

[rrdd2021]

The glaring difference are both sides of the line.

 

[fastlax16]

Been downhill since that first play

 

[PSUcup1]

For the love of god please get 43 off the field

The glaring difference are both sides of the line.

Usually the kryptonite with JF teams...OL is cheeks...DL too small.

 

[PSULionsDub]

Michigan’s play calling and plays are well executed. Good routes and blocks and Penn State does not have much pressure or ability to slow things down. Penn State has had 2 weeks to rest and prepare for this game. Typical James Franklin coached team.

 

[j-buff]

This is embarrassing

 

[rrdd2021]

Huge play by Brown. Now hold them

 

[tlbakernc]

Being blown off line of scrimmage

 

[LandoComando]

That was a nice play by Brown

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

No holding call there on Brown LMAO

 

[psrurock]

Michigan looks ready to play. Stupid play on defense tightening up

 

[rrdd2021]

HUUUUUUGE !!!

 

[PSUcup1]

Shocking what happens when 43 is not in

 

[manilion]

This is what having an oline looks like

This is what good coaching looks like. Good play design so far by UM.

 

[LandoComando]

Nice stand--Michigan's dominating but happy with the scoreboard right now considering

 

[NCLION]

Good hold be need to adjust

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State's redzone defense holds again. Nittany Lions are a bit lucky..

1:35 left...

Michigan 6
Penn State 0

 

[LandoComando]

No holding call there on Brown LMAO

Hey look, you're complaining about the refs while we're getting completely outplayed

 

[AvgUser]

Why not a QB sneak

…because the O-Line needs to get a good push

 

[bourbon n blues]

No holding call there on Brown LMAO

There were a few bad holds.

 

[LandoComando]

There a few bad holds.

As there are on most plays--it's about the consistency of the calls

 

[FlyinLion1]

Fox announces they will be the television host for the OSU/PSU game in a few weeks.

Atrocious……………. Why does Corrupt Fox keep getting all the biggest games?!

 

[YeOldeCup]

Another sedated game start - a consistent challenge with Franklin. No fire, no 'punch them in the mouth' energy.

 

[BudatPSU]

Well is it time for Penn State to join the game yet? Spotted them six, the offense needs to answer it.

 

[McCloudersportLion]

#16 gonna show the national audience why he's #Thorpe frontrunner

 

[j-buff]

They are just manhandling us. I am so sick of this we are just not a physical football team

 

[LandoComando]

Atrocious……………. Why does Corrupt Fox keep getting all the biggest games?!

Because they paid a ton of money for the right to have them?

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Two factors: Noon start and bi-week. High probability of flat start and it happened. We are lucky to be down only six.

This seems to be driven by Franklin's priorities -- recruiting over game prep. During the Paterno years the more time we had for prep the better the team played. No longer seems to be the case.

As compared to whom? NBC, ESPN, CBS or is it just Fox?

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Physicality, or the lack thereof is a constant theme.

 

[tlbakernc]

Clifford needs to take over this drive.

I guess the question would be--is Harbaugh just a better coach than Franklin?

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

MI rbs are always gaining 3-4 yards after contact. Yet our rbs go down on the first hit.

We've had 2 carries so far

 

[tlbakernc]

Be interested to see if Allar get snaps as game goes forward.

All I know is his lines are always more physical than our lines.

 

[LandoComando]

Everyone stop--Clifford's thrown 1 pass and it was a completion for about 8 yards
Relax--it's 6 nothing. Other than it looks like we're being outcoached it's too early for this stuff

 

[87 Penn St8]

22-3 play advantage M....gotta get some 1st downs

Freshman! Singleton is a home run hitter. He either goes down at point of contact or runs for 20. Allen is better suited for yards after contact.
