Official PSU - Indiana Game Thread

[2020 is Our Year]

I guess a win is a win but that game doesn't even feel like a win. Horrible decision to call a timeout. Horrible decision by Scott to try to run the onside kick back. We're nowhere near where I thought we were heading into this year.

 

[PennStateNate]

Is griese a moron ?

He is right. Indiana players got out. It was a horribke call.

 

[Big 0]

And Franklin does not answer the question by the interviewer.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Surprised Franklin didn’t accept the holding penalty and give Indy one more play!

 

[The Song Remains the Same]

And a DB drops ball in critical spot. Lucky as f^ k to win

 

[Nitt1300]

Today was a clinic in how not to coach a football game.

or to play one, either

very, very sloppy on both sides of the ball

 

[Victor E. Bell]

Had em all the way.

 

[nits74]

Feels like a loss. What a terrible performance on the field and by the coaching staff.

 

[RU31trap]

Nice win, congratulations!

 

[Southern_PSU_Lion]

Pathetic. We lose 3 more easily. 3 pass plays with 4 minutes to go?! Hippenhammer and Polk should ride the pine.

 

[fastlax16]

Well it’s over.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Final, 33-28, PSU.

That was more of an ordeal that anything. PSU did make some nice plays in the 2nd half.

Next week, Iowa

 

[lw37]

Announcers perplexed at an obvious knee down in bounds.

 

[Locolion]

See if the players listen to the coach.
A certain 5 star recruit did not in the ASU game.

I won $100 - guaranteed and bet the IU would get the onside kick. It’s uncanny how dumb the guys play sometimes

 

[2020 is Our Year]

Brian Griese really does not understand the rules of football.

Well, when he talked about "a scoop and a score" on a muffed punt by Hamler that's when we all should have known

 

[troutrus]

Exciting game. Rutgers/PSU game should be an instant classic.

PSU is so out coached it is scary, Franklin and this staff don't have it.

 

[bluewhiteApos]

Yes.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Come on.....his KNEE was CLEARLY down before any part of his body touched out-of-bounds.

 

[Nitt1300]

at best

 

[jbenedict]

Did Franklin just say that when we thought the game is over they kept battling back. What? Maybe this is the problem. The mind set of head coach. The game was never close to being over.

 

[mn78psu83]

Truth.

 

[84Lion]

PSU is so out coached it is scary

Even my wife couldn't understand why Franklin called the timeout prior to the first onside kick that didn't work.

 

[psuro]

The purpose of the team is to give me a heart attack.

 

[EPC FAN]

NINETEEN SECOND DRIVE with a 12 point lead Three consecutive passes. That is all.

 

[AWS1022]

How is Nick Scott failing to recover the kick on the coaches?

Because apparently according to some of these folks Franklin called the timeout after he knew we recovered the first onside kick.

 

[mn78psu83]

Felt like IU had PSU right where they wanted them after that pitiful series that preceded IU's 85 yard 15 play drive that ended with the TD to make it 33-28.

 

[Locolion]

Holy cow, look at Shaka Tony! He wants it. Why doesn't the rest of the D-line play like him?

Game ball goes to Shaka Toney. McSorely was pretty good. Miles Sanders was good. Rest of team - horrific

 

[ImaWright]

PSU got 2 huge breaks on last drive by officials

And what were they? The WR whose knee was down before going out? The holding call while 2 Dlinemen were being held?

 

[mn78psu83]

NINETEEN SECOND DRIVE with a 12 point lead Three consecutive passes. That is all.

Mind numbing.

 

[Big 0]

Exactly. The announcers were morons.

We get it. You’re thrilled with the coaches.

Listening is not your strong suit.

 

[AWS1022]

Of course she did after the fact. The timeout was called before the kick.

 

[thewholebit]

Gosh, would love to be able to hear the postgame show online after this gem. Ahhh, the good ole days.

 

[WestSideLion]

Woof. That was just brutal all around. I now believe this program has peaked under this staff. They can BS all they want, but you are how you play on game days.

This was a game Penn State should have run away with, yet the exact same late mistakes continued to haunt them and kept a far inferior for close.

 

[AWS1022]

We get it. You’re thrilled with the coaches.

Yeah, I’ll take it. I know coaches with back to back double digit win seasons are falling out of the sky, but I’ll take the one we’ve got.

 

[Locolion]

Indy tries an onside kick, Polk fields it cleanly, but PSU had called a TO just before the kick, so Indy will get to kick it again.

Never, never call a time out on an onside kick. Allow the kicker a practice attempt?!?! Are you insane????

 

[Nittany Security]

iowa..iowa..iowa

With 4 mins left! It wasn’t the 2nd quarter.
