Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State vs. Rutgers

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

And there it is. Finally. Short pass to the tight end. TD. And a brilliant use of shifting formations.

 

[psu00]

Very nice play call there. Well designed play for the TD.

 

[matt1017]

It's amazing the the make shift OL did such a great job vs MD but the same unit is getting schooled by Buttkers.......

I think something is wrong with your keyboard. It keeps posting, unnecessarily, in bold.

That's a crack-back block???? What f'ing horseshit! This Conference is so bushleague - that was a clearly fabricated call to wipe out the TD. What a joke.

He bumps a guy a little and that's a Crack back?

 

[BudatPSU]

5 offensive plays to equal the one play defensive score the refs took away.

 

[Little J]

Ok give amour back his scholly

I like it, it is easier to read.

 

[j-buff]

Our recievers can’t get open

 

[PSUcup1]

Effner and Shelton are getting abused

He didn't even hit him hard - looked like he just gently engaged him so as not to get called for a blind-side block, but engage him to wall him off from making a play. Total joke of a call - the rule is not that you aren't permitted to engage and block - you can't hit him with force which 99 did not.

 

[knickslions]

The offensive line is playing as bad as ever today.

 

[scrivener]

Effner and Shelton are getting abused

Not a surprise....especially about the former.

 

[Little J]

Is this last years o-line?

 

[wilbury]

Our recievers can’t get open

No kidding. A problem all year

 

[AWS1022]

The best way to solve a penalty problem for a team is to play against PSU…you won’t get called.

And that hold on our TE. Oy Vey

 

[psrurock]

Finally a call after he's tackled by the lineman

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

That's not PI - he hit the PSU receiver as he goes to catch it and hit him so early, the PSU player isn't even able to touch the ball - no flag. Joke.

 

[b&w1987]

On the bright side… the d is getting into the game.

 

[psrurock]

About 4 holding calls left go on Rutgers linemen..Just call what you see. It's not hard.

 

[psu00]

Clifford seems a step slow in decision making lately. Granted his O line isn’t helping much but he just holds the ball a little too long at times.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

And that hold on our TE. Oy Vey

Compare what they called on Strange - to what they didn't call against Carter... an utter mugging as the FOX announcers pointed out.

 

[GregInPitt]

Carter with another sack. Looked lke it was Chop that was held.

Great to see Wallace with a couple sure handed catches today. Need someone in the WR group to step up.

 

[lowhandicapper]

Lambert-Smith is a mediocre, at best, route runner. It really limits his potential.

 

[psualt]

Not sure how great an honor having most punting yards ever is.

 

[b&w1987]

Rutgers D is all world.

Funny - I’m not at the game but the announcers are saying the receivers are not getting open. Why hang if all on Clifford?

 

[Little J]

What is the word on Parker Washington? Why did he not travel? Anyone ?

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

How wonderful - PSU is trying to run "pace" (as they are just shredding the Buttgers defense) so the b1g clowns call a Timeout for Rutgers???? What a f'ing joke.

 

[PSUcup1]

great drive

 

[knickslions]

Don’t you know it’s always Cliffords fault in this board

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

TOUCHDOWN PENN STATE!

Sean Clifford scampers 14 yards on a designed run for a touchdown and Penn State goes up 28-10 on the Scarlet Knights. It hasn't been pretty but the Nittany Lions are cruising now.

 

[psrurock]

Clifford is having a nice game. Not a fan, but give him credit.

 

[BudatPSU]

Good job Sean!!!

 

[psu00]

Funny - I’m not at the game but the announcers are saying the receivers are not getting open. Why hang if all on Clifford?

I’m not hanging it all on him. He just needs to throw it away when there’s nothing available instead of taking sacks. (I agree the wide receivers are often not getting open).

 

[knickslions]

Rumor broken leg

 

[GregInPitt]

Lambert-Smith is a mediocre, at best, route runner. It really limits his potential.

Yep, it seems he doesn't get much separation and combined with his lack of physicality he doesn't make many plays for the number of passes that are sent his way...

7 targets and only 3 catches for 9 yards for today's game is not getting it done.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Gee, could we have more complaining from the board loudmouth lame-o posing-fan trolls? Yea, this is embarrassing - we're covering the spread and it isn't even halftime.

Don’t you know it’s always Cliffords fault in this board

And Franklin’s fault. We have, likely, a top 10 team, but many on this board think we have a terrible coach and terrible QB. How many people 3 months ago thought we’d be 9-2 and ranked #11 at this point in the season? And we did that with a “terrible” coach and “horrible” starting QB. It’s a freaking miracle.
