Official PSU - Indiana Game thread

[ILLINOISLION]

Well, showcasing the Barkley throw in a three score / under 5:00 min game is pretty stupid.

Both McSorley AND Barkley shouldn't have even been in the game at this point.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

If I'm IU, I'm a little salty after that one.

I think Allen's been a little salty since the opening KO

 

[troutrus]

Joe wouldn't like these trick plays.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Another play for the Heisman reel.

Another play for the real Heisman!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Daniel Joseph with the tackle. Lots of backups playing on this series

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

Joe wouldn't like these trick plays.

Joe would be more upset with the number of blocked and missed FG's more so than a trick play or two.

 

[PeetzPoolBoy]

So here's the question regarding Barkley. Over 220 all purpose yards today, along with a TD pass.

But will 20 carries for 56 yards hurt his Heisman chances?

No but it amplifies some major problems with our OL and Limegrower.

No because the 98 yard KO return trumps that.

4th & 1 for Indy ... and Indy gets the 1st

Joseph has made his presence known each time he's played this year. Looks like a player.

Oh well.

But it's ok for them to run blitz with impunity? Make them pay for it.

No, his return and pass TD's will be what ESPN shows.

JUST WIN BABY!

and that's a final, 45-14!!!!!!!!!!

Why didn't you go to the game today?

 

[mn78psu83]

Completely agree. So they can blitz and get shots on Barkley and McSorley? Sure. PSU can take advantage of it so they don't get those shots. Stop the play next time. It's football.

There's a time and place for trick plays.....up 24 with under 5 minutes left is not the time or the place.

 

[mn78psu83]

Why didn't you go to the game today?

My usual ticket was taken by my friend's wife. Then we had a family matter ourselves and there was no chance. We walked up to the stadium earlier. Plenty of tix available along the way too. Oh well. I really enjoyed listening to Jack Ham today.

I think that play had a purpose other than scoring. It was a message.

 

[mrtailgate]

I'll save him the time - Desmond will be picking NW next week. Book it.

Against arch-nemesis Parkland, they loaded the box. Barkley threw 2 touchdown passes in the first half. They backed off, he ripped them on the ground. The Lions finally sent that message.

I don't like running up the score but Joe might even do it in today's game. Remember 1994 allowing Indy to score against the subs.

They do. Showing that all out blitzing will get you burned is a fine time. It's a play that will get shown in film review. Somebody will be thinking about this on a pitch at a later date.

i'll take your word for it. I haven't watched that clown show in years, and the last time I did I could barely understand a thing Desmond said.

I'd rather have run it next week in a similar situation when we might actually need it......and without NW's D maybe looking for it.

and that one handed grab and 36 yard run after catch from earlier

 

[EPC FAN]

Yes, but there are a lot of games to be played.

I guess the NINETY EIGHT YARD Kickoff return for a touchdown doesn't count.

 

[AWS1022]

I think we worry more how other teams are going to think about us than any other fan base in the country.

I think those 2 played last night. How did Barkley's younger brother do in that game?

It's going to create indecision on part of the D's. Is he going to run, or is he going to pass ? He who hesitates is lost .

 

[mrtailgate]

I guess he knows what a broken clock feels like twice a day. That idiot can't help himself.

 

[mrtailgate]

That was his best highlight of the day for sure. That was ridiculous.

He is a sophomore on the junior varsity. Did not play. Parkland scored a field goal and TD IN 4th to win 31-21. Scored TD as time expired.

Getting ready for my son’s first birthday tomorrow so couldn’t watch - great updates!

I have a question. I don't have anyone on "ignore" yet I periodically see a line that says "there are other posts in this conversation". I click on the link and see other posts. Why?

I see the same thing. I believe that if you have a thread open, it does not automatically refresh. You'll probably see this either if you haven't refreshed for a bit, or if you make a post (at which time you get a partial refresh -- your post and the most recent ones, but not the earlier ones).

It has nothing to do with the Ignore feature.
