Official PSU - Illinois game thread

And held.

Stop complaining about holding for God's sake!

 

[JoeLion]

Just a poor effort at this point.

 

[PearlSUJam]

Hold.

 

[NCLION]

We get upfield but our guys are all running into eachother
no gap integrity
cutback there all day

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

99 whiffed on tackle

 

[BobPSU92]

Pry needs to kick the living shit out of his defense.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Between the tackles is looking soft without Mustipher.

 

[PennState_one]

I realize we as fans can't genuinely expect them to play flawless all of the time, but the physical aspect is concerning. How are they getting pushed around by a sub-par team. Hopefully they come out hard in the 2nd half and I believe they will.

 

[lazydave841]

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.

Base defense vs Jumbo package. We are not huge at DE and our LBs are better vs pass than run.

 

[CoolBean]

Brown is going to get his second 200 yds rush today

 

[ILLINOISLION]

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

It was 14-0 but a holding call took a TD off the board.

 

[NCLION]

We need to open offense up
I don’t see Pry coming up with any adjustments

 

[jrl5019]

Is Franklin still clapping on the sideline or actually coaching?

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

and the ABC announcers have covered the whole screen with their girlish screams and squeals for Illinois scoring. Let's not even pretend to try to be neutral anymore in our play by play calling.

 

[step.eng69]

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

NA…today we are applying 🤫

The Law of Conservation of Energy​

The law of conservation of energy, very first formulated within the nineteenth century, is actually a law of physics. It says that the overall amount of energy within an isolated system stays constant with time. The overall energy is thought to be conserved as time passes.

 

[ryoder1]

#99, no strength at all. Just spins the guy forward with his arms. Pathetic.

 

[ram2020]

We always perform poorly after a loss, this was a given today. Gotta tighten it all up in the second half.

 

[Big 0]

Defense is tired. Just lack of effort tackling

 

[wolve1972]

PSU's DL is getting manhandled right now.

 

[Wesauking Lion]

Defense is soft... no tackling... 3rd level... their QB tougher than our Dline or Backers.

 

[pennstatefan111]

Almost 20 minutes of TOP for Illinois. This is why you need a run game. D is gassed already in first half.

Totally. Need a score before half. Clifford not nearly 100%.

Are you mental?
Orlovsky stated our defensive TD taken away was a horrible call.

he also said it was PI on Dotson getting held in end zone.

take off the PSU glasses…or hearing aids..

Definitely doesn't look right

 

[NCLION]

Our line stinks
period

 

[CoolBean]

Wow after one week off, this team O and D are way off

 

[fastlax16]

Next week is going to be ugly.

 

[ftlpsu]

Definitely doesn't look right

Nope why you don’t play him and change up the game plan….

Just calling it as what is being said this whole second quarter. They are really slipping into Illinois homers..

 

[tlbakernc]

#79 beat like a drum! WTF

 

[CoolBean]

At least special team is good

 

[pennstatefan111]

Just a miserable half performance today. Even with Clifford in there, this team needs to see the paint screamed off the walls in the locker room.

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

Their coaches have Illinois motivated and ready to play. They came in with a plan and are executing that plan.

our team? Not so much.

 

[BeaverLion]

Clifford should not be playing. No where near 100%.

 

[ericstratton-rushchairman]

This team could not possibly look less inspired. Bench the starters and play the back ups. Right now this team sucks

 

[fkkkjm]

79 Wallace - bad run blocker and bad pass
Blocker.

 

[RTRMR]

This team is unbelievably weak in the trenches, like embarrassingly atrocious!

 

[BW Lion]

Between the tackles is looking soft without Mustipher.

We should have better depth at DT.

 

[paws1957]

That’s it, pin them at the 10 then let them make a 15 yard run

 

[Mr. Potter]

I was hoping for us to be up by 28 at half. I'm no psychic.
