Official PSU - Illinois game thread

[AWS1022]

Clifford doesn't look good. He looks like he's trying to get rid of the ball quickly because he doesn't want to get hit. The floater to Dotson should have been intercepted. The pass to Dotson in the EZ was underthrown. The pass to Washington was wide open and overthrown.

I think we'll see Roberson if we get a 20 pt lead.

With our run defense today, I don’t think we’re going to get a 20 point lead.

Clifford doesn't look good. He looks like he's trying to get rid of the ball quickly ...

If I were Clifford's coach, this would have been my instruction.

Penn State D missed #97

 

[RTRMR]

Another BLATANT hold on Luketa

 

[AWS1022]

Illinois averaging almost 7 yards per carry. Can't keep that up with the teams coming up later in the schedule.

Or this team.

 

[fastlax16]

Our o line just needs to hold more.

 

[psupride1997]

Being dominated physically by Ilinois is…somethin.

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

Running between the tackles. Mash mouth football. Our DTs look outmanned.

 

[quincy1]

The right side of the DL is getting killed

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Another non-called hold on edge in Backfield

 

[lazydave841]

That amazing freshman QB out at OU struggling on the road. Down 10-0 late 2nd quarter.

 

[PennState_one]

PSU possibly looking ahead to OSU??? Take care of business now boys. Stop letting this team look like they deserve to be competing with them....

 

[ram2020]

#16 has impressed me today on defense. He is about the only guy out there tackling consistently and we have needed it.

 

[quincy1]

How the F does the Qb get 3 yrds on a qb sneak

 

[pennstatefan111]

This is disgraceful

No. I think they are banged up. PJ being missed

 

[84Lion]

Penn State getting killed in TOP...again. That D is gonna be tired.

 

[RTRMR]

Who’s softer…..OL or DL?????

 

[ram2020]

How the F does the Qb get 3 yrds on a qb sneak

We should use it more, that is more than our RBs average.

 

[jrl5019]

This defense looks pathetic today. No effort at all.

 

[PennState_one]

How the F does the Qb get 3 yrds on a qb sneak

The Illinios line must be in the weight room more?

 

[NittanyChris]

This would not be happening if Mustipher was in there.

 

[scrivener]

Stop about the holding calls...the DL isn't even very good or close to elite. It's the one position JF hasn't nailed with prime recruits and hasn't developed well. Sans PJ on the interior, who is solid, nobody is a stud or guy u game plan around. Hard to beat OSU or any measuring stick opponent that way

 

[BobPSU92]

Game 7, coming off a bye week, at home, playing a bad Illinois team, and we’re getting pushed around. This just sucks.

 

[ryoder1]

Our D is getting shredded. Look awful. No ability to stop the run. Better wake up fast!

 

[psupride1997]

This is disgraceful

Agreed. Just a shameful performance all around.

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

How the F does the Qb get 3 yrds on a qb sneak

having an OL that can push people out of the way tends to help get the yardage.

 

[pennstatefan111]

No. I think they are banged up. PJ being missed

Banged up, maybe, but they should be stacking the box like every team does against us

 

[quincy1]

8 minute drive. Wow.

 

[nits74]

Our D is getting shredded. Look awful. No ability to stop the run. Better wake up fast!

Looking more and more like pretenders as the seasons goes on. Going back to last year with regard to missed tackles, too.

 

[PennState_one]

This would not be happening if Mustipher was in there.

They have to find someone as comparable as possible or it could get ugly.

 

[PearlSUJam]

The right side of the DL is getting killed

And held.

 

[psuro]

Illinois owning both sides of LOS. Unbelievable.

 

[ryoder1]

Looking like a huge O$U beatdown. No strength in the trenches. Poor run blocking and can't stop Illinois from running. Very disappointing!

 

[PearlSUJam]

Banged up, maybe, but they should be stacking the box like every team does against us

I agree. We have the players to play straight up man especially against this team

 

[psupride1997]

This is beginning to look like 1999 …solid start and collapse down the stretch

 

[Madsol]

Xs and Os guys, help. When a team is not a threat to throw the ball, how can they run it as effectively as Illinois has this half? Seems like we would take that away and make Sitkowski beat us. But their RB has over 100 yards in the 1st half.

 

[BobPSU92]

This would not be happening if Mustipher was in there.

We should not be so dependent on one guy, especially against Illinois.

 

[lazydave841]

Why are we not subbing for these 7 OL fronts? Goal line DL, man up any WRs. 4 DL are going to get eat up by Jumbo package. We are waiting on mistakes instead of forcing them.

 

[pennstatefan111]

Chase Brown already has 116 yards in the first half. Did we not expect them to run almost every down? I swear the game planning just is not where it should be.
