Official PSU - Illini 2020 Game Thread

[CoolBean]

These 49 points are the most Penn State has scored in a Big Ten home game since November 2017 (vs Nebraska). We're still in the third quarter here.

ENOUGH with the back-and-forth bitching at each other. Just drop the arguments after 1 or 2 replies. They do NOTHING for the thread. Agree to disagree, and move on

That’s not the way of the world. People have to be validated as smart and correct on social
Media! Giimmmeeeee my likes!!!!

Nice

Anyone think the third down run by Lee was just a bad spot? It was marked for no gain.

I did. He got past the yellow (imaginary) line, yet the ball was spotted a yard behind where his progress was stopped

I was happy that he got the first down, not sure where that spot came from.

Agreed

 

[PSUBrewer]

Strange is becoming really Familiar , wow!

Nothing like getting a little strange...back in the day, of course!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I missed this change for the Illini

 

[jbenedict]

I love Strange

Terrible spot. He was past the 1st down and then pushed back.

Keyvone and PSU got O'NEALED there!

Yeah, I think it was a big hit and tackle but he was past the yellow line, the spot was off by well over a full yard.

Strange Johnson

The td gave me time to rewind. They just missed it.

I, like many , have been critical of the staff this year. But as I said last week, this team has showed heart and HAS NOT quit when it often seemed like they would/could. Credit the kids and the staff

Does Penn State score 60?

Not as bad as Peters is missing his targets.

 

[VaLion'92]

8th consecutive stop on defense, 5 or 6 of them being 3-and-outs.

 

[WDLion]

Not targeting if our guy does not lower his head as well

Lee lowered his head because he was falling down. The Illinois player lowered his on purpose.

 

[djr4rebs]

Strange will be better than Pat F...

TEs are great. KC proving he will utilize them.

 

[PSUcup1]

John O’Neill is a ****ing ****

He was not falling down.

6 + 2 + 3 ?

3 + 3 + 3 + 2 ?

No, PSU will not score 60.

 

[jbenedict]

We have very nice O lineman and they are very polite. Always helping up the opponent. Geeeeeeshhhhhhhh

 

[Tom McAndrew]

which is good to see. he did not use the TE all that much at Minny

 

[PSUBrewer]

Gotta love a guy flexing over a sack while losing by 4 TDS in the 4th quarter.

Does Penn State score 60?

No

 

[AWS1022]

Gotta love a guy flexing over a sack while losing by 4 TDS in the 4th quarter.

And then talking trash on the sidelines.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

John O’Neill is a ****ing ****

Yes he is but that was a correct call on PSU, just another dumb post-play play.

 

[Big 0]

Bad series there. On the 1st down play SC had somebody in the left flat wide open and never looked at him.

 

[AWS1022]

Does Penn State score 60?

Probably won’t score any more.

 

[Nittany82]

These 49 points are the most Penn State has scored in a Big Ten home game since November 2017 (vs Nebraska). We're still in the third quarter here.

With a bad Illinois defense that’s missing some of their players, there’s no excuse for PSU not to score 70 on these guys.

 

[PSUcup1]

which is good to see. he did not use the TE all that much at Minny

did he have any good ones? Honest question...

 

[MacNit07]

Oh good lord.

So you are good with just continuing to make the same mistakes?...you would think the lesson would have been learned after the Indiana fiasco?...but not even close...it will continue to cost us close games...can’t even get it right with no pressure on...just bad

 

[Obliviax]

We need to get Dotson 40 more yards

 

[VaLion'92]

Wait....

It's December 19th and I'm watching a Penn State home game. Latest home game ever? By...a lot??

That’s been there all year long.

It's scary to think about the talent we had at TE to start the year. PF definitely the best passing option, but Strange and Johnson are proving to be quite good as well. Both are better blockers than PF as well.

Look forward to an expanded playbook next year. We have seemed to get away from the 2 TE running game. I can only suspect it's intentionally saving that portion of the playbook.
