[LMTLION]

Is Liam Clifford out? Haven’t seen him in a while. Earlier this season he made some clutch receptions.

 

[LandoComando]

The whole play Beau talk has to end

 

[KCLion]

The psyche of the team and individual players are a major part in that decision as well imo...

You are the head coach - psyche is something you have to manage.

 

[BudatPSU]

The 1st pass to KLS after the turnover was quick and got 5 yds. But most plays Allar is surveying the field, not getting rid of the ball quickly.

He is trying to protect his no interception record.

 

[LandoComando]

He doesn't care about "a record"...he's been programmed not to take risk

 

[PSU210]

Offensive line has taken a huge steps backwards this season. No run blocking, no pass blocking.

Not sure Landon Tangwall injury isn't bigger than we thought. Juice Scruggs not coming back hurt too.

 

[NITTANYJGK]

I THINK....OSU has kicked the CONFIDENCE out of our offense.

T
I think the relatively week schedule up to that point may have had a big part as well.

 

[BBG65]

And how much of it is Franklin's fault?
If I'm a pure pocket passer I'm not sure I'd want to be here.

Hackenberg didn't do any better with pro coaches. Just not a very good QB.

 

[SOCLion]

Is Allar being Hackenberg'd?

I was thinking the same thing!

 

[LandoComando]

Because he was broken already

Correct

The offense is playing over cautious. Playing scared? How is that possible vs Indiana?

 

[Safety Blitz]

Would anyone be surprised if this season’s Michigan game is a repeat of last season’s Michigan game?

Would be surprised if it isnt

I think it is viable that a qb can be "ruined". Not saying Allar is at all, but not a great start. Running for his life all of the time.

 

[AvgUser]

Offense really sucks when your OL can't prote against INDIANA

Or Delaware, or UMass, or….

I don't disagree with you at all. Plenty of issues at play here for sure.

 

[Marylovesthelions]

14 completions, 16 yards. FIRE YURCICH

 

[AvgUser]

Lousy attempt by the receiver

 

[scrivener]

Lol McClain on that deep ball just stumbles while diving. The WRs body control and overall body control with the ball in the air is reprehensible

 

[LandoComando]

We need to crush the portal next year

He was just jogging, not sprinting, in the second half of his route.

That's why there was no separation.

 

[AvgUser]

OK. Allar has at least learned that sometime you do need to run

 

[LionDeNittany]

Allen is averaging almost as many yards per carry as Allar is passing. That's not including incompletions when passing becomes hilariously bad.

Why did we throw it 40 plus times last week?

 

[PennState_one]

Keep it with the tight ends!!! Been saying that for awhile. At least until they find an explosive receiver.

 

[Thomas1945]

So far our chunk play offense blows chunks. So i guess we grind it out leather helmet style. Td’s still count for six either way.

Beginning to think MY’s offense needs a running QB to be successful. When Allar takes off running no one is in the middle.

I lean that way myself sometimes. It's almost like a pocket passer in this offense is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole...

Franklin has said many times that he values a running QB so idk...

we have one named Beau

If Yurich can't adapt to a pure drop back passer then he needs to go or we shouldn't be recruiting QBs like Allar.

 

[scrivener]

Kalen King has been arguably the most disappointing guy on defense...always off balance backpedaling, gets turned around and just doesn't make plays.

 

[LandoComando]

we have one named Beau

In limited time we've seen nothing to indicate he can pass the ball enough to play at this level

 

[AvgUser]

He’s been in in garbage time

 

[bdgan]

Indiana must have a better offense than OSU

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

If we’re lucky, we can convince Indiana’s receivers to commit to us in the offseason.

 

[tlbakernc]

We are missing Chop!

 

[PennState_one]

Indiana must have a better offense than OSU

I wasn't super impressed with the OSU offense at all. They just had 1 major player that can win games. Harrison Jr is unreal.

MYs offense probably does. Unfortunately he should be fired if this is the case.

 

[LandoComando]

He’s been in in garbage time

Correct and during that time we've seen nothing to indicate he can play at this level
