Let’s see....

We don't defer.

 

[Aardvark86]

27-17. Working out the kinks in running game leads to imbalance

 

[Lion8286]

Givens, Stevens, and Simmons all out today.

 

[Phil's Rug]

 

[bdgan]

Givens, Stevens, and Simmons all out today.

What happened to Givens?

 

[PeetzPoolBoy]

It appears some thunderstorms, currently near Johnstown, are tracking towards State College.

What happened to Givens?

He wasn’t in SC over the summer. I assume this is a carryover to some team infraction.

 

[djr4rebs]

Givens, Stevens, and Simmons all out today.

Stevens did warm up without the boot.

Our young DTs just got a bump in playing time.

 

[Ranger Dan]

I love 3:30 games when attending live, because of the relaxed travel and window of tailgating. That said, and since I no longer have season tickets, I wish the first game of the season were always a noon kick. This anticipation is killing me...

 

[Custerdome]

Getting thin along the defensive line.

 

[harjeff]

Just wish Illinois would run the dang clock out already!

Let's go STATE!!!

Number of games had weather delays today

 

[BBG65]

Givens, Stevens, and Simmons all out today.

I assume Shorter is out, too.

No negative posts yet....what’s going on?

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Franklin has yet to announce who Fonzie will be barking for this year. He MAY hold onto that news until next Sat night!

 

[djr4rebs]

Wasn't it a board wide resolution that we were going to be positive in the game thread?

Ought to last at least til KO

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

Ahh...nothing like opening day in the college football season

 

[harjeff]

Crowd looks pretty good for this game...even the student section mostly full before KO!

 

[AWS1022]

We’ll see how long that lasts.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

To those who earlier predicted only 80k, you missed it by THAT MUCH!

 

[AWS1022]

We don't defer.

And we didn’t again.

Let’s go student section...

 

[ILLINOISLION]

The last coin toss Matt participated in was the famous 1979 PSU - Pitt debacle!

 

[fastlax16]

Weak penalty

 

[Phil's Rug]

Sanders with the 1st down

 

[BobPSU92]

I didn't think that was much of a taunt.

 

[PennStateNate]

Glad they called that, but it wasn't much.

 

[CDLionFL]

Let's see how many times I mistake Appy State's yellow shoes for penalty flags. Current count -- 1

 

[BobPSU92]

Sanders running well!

 

[Phil's Rug]

Sanders with another

 

[fastlax16]

Don’t like the yellow shoes. Keep thinking I see a flag out of the corner of my eye.

 

[PennStateNate]

I didn't think that was much of a taunt.

Honestly, that was a horrible call

 

[CDLionFL]

I didn't think that was much of a taunt.

Yeah, but you didn't hear what he might have said. Ref was standing right there.

 

[harjeff]

Ag

Weak penalty

agree, but it was called simply because he made the gesture standing right over the PSU OL'men.
