FOOTBALL.

My wife and I had a change of plans and are home. Matt Millen looks good on btn.

 

[BobPSU92]

Good pre-game interview of Franklin by Spice Adams. Love them both. Once again, we are so lucky to have Franklin.

 

[Beachwineguy]

Is it just me, or does Millen’s voice sound weird?

 

[BobPSU92]

Looks like a really good crowd today.

Yes, it does.

 

[BobPSU92]

They just showed Tommy Stevens on the sideline. He's in uniform. Marcus Allen was standing next to him.

 

[BobPSU92]

Nice throw by McSorley to Cam Sullivan-Brown to the 10. It was "a laser".

 

[BobPSU92]

McSorley to Hippenhammer for a touchdown. Blue up, 7-0.

Go Blue!

 

[We Are . . .]

Juwan Johnson is not suited up. Injury?

 

[BobPSU92]

They just showed Franklin giving hugs to a bunch of guys, including Cabinda, Barkley, and Gesicki. It's great to see former players come back and support the program.

Juwan Johnson is not suited up. Injury?

Yes. He's wearing a boot.

Actually considering the good weather I was a LITTLE disappointed. And yes, I know, I am spoiled.

Missed the start of the game. Who were the starting LBs for Blue?

 

[HunterPSU96]

Touchback?

 

[Option Bob]

Missed the start of the game. Who were the starting LBs for Blue?

I think It was 9, 13, and 11 (Miller, Brooks, Parsons),

60K

Update: they're now saying 70K

77 Wright
71 Fries

Looks like 71 has taken over LT for 52 though I don't read a lot into that

 

[sluggo72]

Doesn't anyone else think 69 white needs to lose 30# ?

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

What’s everyone think of Parsons so far? Looks like a man but definitely playing like he’s right out of high school...has good instincts but isn’t up to game speed yet. Also needs to improve his endurance.

 

[Beachwineguy]

Good throw by Clifford to Hippenhammer. Dropped in the bucket.

 

[Nittany Security]

Just got home est 71k attendance

 

[Nittany Security]

It was a good size crowd..alot of recruits..

Did he play every snap when Blue was on D? Looked like CJF was trying to give him as much PT as possible.

Luketa stood out to me really good on running plays

 

[hagberg]

Is it just me, or does Millen’s voice sound weird?

It's not his voice, it's the words he says.

What's up with his deuchbaggery? He rags on the special needs girl for spiking the ball before she got to the end zone, apparently thinking he was being very witty, then he makes a snarky remark about Sean Clifford breaking his hand. Something along the lines of wondering if he has weak bones in his hand. I really wish he'd go to the MWC for the rest of his broadcasting career.

He played like you would expect a kid to play who is learning a new position. Good to see him getting a lot of coaching from Pry after each series. When Parsons gets the mental part down, look out! I think people should prepare for some growing pains on D this year but the pedigree and speed is definitely there. Tarburton is going to be a beast in a few years

 

[bwifan]

Any different vibe or sets to the offense with Rahne running it? Didnt think they would show much if they did

 

[Nittany Security]

 

[the rigger]

Just got home est 71k attendance

Is that who went in because at least 30/40 stayed in parking lots.

This the truth. The lower level was 90% full.

Thought Tarburton looked good as well.

So, Linebacker U could be back (once some of this talent gets experience)

 

[Connorpozlee]

I watched the first part. Parsons just didn’t look like a linebacker to me, which is understandable because he hasn’t been one before. Looked stiff and like he was thinking an awful lot. Looking forward to him progressing.

 

[demlion]

Parsons looked like he was really sucking wind late. When this kid gets a summer of conditioning and fall drills behind him, hes going to be a beast.
