Official PSU - Iowa Game Thread

[VaLion'92]

Great stop.

Seriously, I'm going to be an optimist about this one. 5-0 is much better than 9-0, considering how this game started.

 

[m.knox]

One thing for sure.... win or lose....

Ricky Rahne has managed to turn the PSU offense into one that could put an epileptic squirrel to sleep.

Never thought I'd see that again........... It's like a reincarnation of John Donovan.

 

[CoolBean]

Defense HOLD there, but forgettable first 5 minutes

 

[paws1957]

Griese again! I guess it could be worse with Beth Mowins

 

[jbenedict]

Have at it guys, I am out . I feel like it is the 5 quarter of MSU game and I am not going to be a dip shit on the board.

 

[ftlpsu]

Ok everything falls on Hamler again for motivation?

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Amazing it’s only 5-0!

 

[troutrus]

Hey, the icers are 5-0. So we got that going for us.

 

[Ten Thousan Marbles]

Yeah. We cannot tackle.

Just looking at the stats for total tackles tells us what we need to know about this PSU team.

The great ones have had great tackle stats.

I am not sure why so many folks here have been missing out on that basic thing.

And, the total tackle thing will still be obvious, no matter the outcome of this game. One game won't change the stats dramatically.

Sorry. That was the challenge I identified in the thread this week. And, not happy with this start because of that.

 

[The Song Remains the Same]

Picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

I’m sniffing STICKUM

 

[SLion]

You have to question why teams are always f-in with us on special teams. To me, it just seems like they challenge our focus and mental toughness which relates to our coaching.

 

[m.knox]

First down! Not..... lol

 

[Greg80]

I'm watching my daughter swim at hartwick college today and she resembles our psu team today so I'm really having a good day....

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

So Hamler is our only receiver on the roster? (note sarcasm tone).

 

[pointingdogsrule]

How bad can this get

 

[paws1957]

It’s going to be a looooong day

 

[Big 0]

Just brilliant offensive play so far.

 

[BobPSU92]

Horrible.

 

[m.knox]

The strength of this team is the offensive line..... lol...

 

[AvgPennStateFan]

Wow.. was that a stunt. 1st time I've ever seen that

 

[PennSt8er]

Un. Inspired.

 

[Sooner Lion]

Let me take the time to remind us this is an experienced OL.

 

[CoolBean]

32 yds punt? what happened to him?

 

[Lion Lineage]

Offensive PI calls have to be on the wide receiver coach. He’s evidently not coaching them how to rub the DB without getting a call. Has happened to Penn State at least twice this season.

 

[Big 0]

Iowa gets ball on the Penn State side of the field.

 

[PennStateNate]

Iowa looks way to big and strong

 

[ericstratton-rushchairman]

We are a horrible horrible football team. All phases of the game. Horrible.

 

[The Song Remains the Same]

I'm watching my daughter swim at hartwick college today and she resembles our psu team today so I'm really having a good day....

I sure hope she’s not floundering in water like this team is.

 

[GreggK]

Time to pull Mcsorley.

It is time for Stevens. It is hard but it is the truth

 

[TheGLOV]

I just want to let everyone know that I am taping the game.

Judging by the comments, so far, I may not watch it.

I'm at work now.

Carry on!

 

[PSUcup1]

32 yds punt? what happened to him?

I hope for his sake he’s hurt

 

[danvillenit]

What the f happened to Gilikin

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Please. Someone .Step up and make a play. Someone...

 

[psudsl08]

2 killer penalties, dropped ball, inaccurate passing, fumbled punt and now a shanked punt. And there’s still 8 min left in Q1.

 

[paws1957]

Let me take the time to remind us this is an experienced OL.

Hate to think how bad they’d be if they weren’t experienced

 

[Novalions]

Has anyone on this team gotten better since the start of the season? I can’t think of one. That is definition of poor coaching.

 

[PennSt8er]

On the bright side, Willie Taggert will be available to hire soon.

 

[sluggo72]

Offensive PI calls have to be on the wide receiver coach. He’s evidently not coaching them how to rub the DB without getting a call. Has happened to Penn State at least twice this season.

Except they called it on a TE

 

[bkmtnittany1]

Do we ever practice tackling? Is it allowed by NCAA rules?

 

[SLion]

Good to see we have a top tier competitve OL, Franklin.
