[We Are . . .]

We're bowl eligible.

 

[CoolBean]

Was the OL an eligible receiver?

it was a backward toss

 

[delcoLion]

Entertaining, to say the least. Not sure what to think, I wish they could grind out yards late in the game but, it is what it is, as the saying goes.

 

[troutrus]

Exciting! Gotta love a win when the game comes down to the wire. Don’t get any better.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

We covered the spread?

We covered the spread.....but didn’t cover the tight ends.

 

[Shadow99]

We had 'em all the way.

Would have had them all the way without the fumble in the red zone.

 

[harjeff]

So at least not screwing up like Farmer . . . ?

He was just watching how its done by the senior.....hope its not habit forming

I think Parsons will be fine!

 

[Big 0]

Doesnt matter on a lateral

That’s right. However, not a lateral. Was a “backwards pass.” Haven’t you been following the board on these matters, LOL?

 

[PSU.:.]

What was the iwoa ass sucking going on with announcer
Not once did they talk about Penn State season
It was all Iowa and they controlcontro destinty bla bla bla "haven't beaten ranked team all season" heard that 109 times

Good game. Tough loss for my Hawks. Congrats!

Gritty performance by your guys.

 

[troutrus]

And you don't like our posts so why did you post??

What?

 

[2020 is Our Year]

A win is a win is a win. Not pretty but all that matters is that they found a way. I still would love to see us actually pick up a first down and kill the clock at the end of the game but baby steps.

 

[Shadow99]

We covered the spread.....but didn’t cover the tight ends.

In fairness they were covered in the FIRST half.

 

[step.eng69]

Thank you for the game recap Mr. Jones & Mr. Ham, always educational.

Most disappointing part of the game for me. PSU has a terrible start, plays well, comes all the way back and has a chance to score and make it 34-17. A shame they couldn't execute there.

 

[mn78psu83]

Jake Pinegar with a huge game for his confidence - 3 40+ yard FGs.

 

[PSU.:.]

PSU and Franklin owns Iowa

That's all

 

[djr4rebs]

Defense did not give up any second half points.

Let that sink in.

Both teams tried to give it away but Iowa managed to do it. We'll take it, right?

What was that play call? Or was that on the players with bad timing

I need a latte. Who's with me?

 

[Big 0]

Another 4th quarter crisis game. These are getting tiresome. However, we came out on top this time. Iowa would not have been in this game, except for the multiple miscues in the first half.

 

[PennSt8er]

2 safeties, 1 pick six, many fumbles not recovered. Still win. 1, 9, 2, 99, 48, 92 were ballers.

I agree - was really getting sick of those clowns pimping Iowa at every turn at least they mention Iowa hasn’t beaten a ranked team all year and sti hasn’t - Big 10 West really blows.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Let’s just say “own” - as you’re using it - is a subjective term.

 

[mn78psu83]

To me, it looked like poor execution by McSorley and Sanders.

 

[Big 0]

Kudos to Pinegar, who was clutch today and the defense who closed out the game.

 

[paws1957]

Spiked?

 

[LundyPSU]

Maybe but looked like bad timing with Hamler

 

[HunterPSU96]

Crazy to think we were 2-9 against them from 1996 to 2010 and now have this 5 game streak.

 

[fastlax16]

Great job by the d today throughout.

 

[mn78psu83]

Maybe but looked like bad timing with Hamler

I look forward to rewatching that one.

 

[CJF_Said_The_Great_Joe_Paterno]

Lots of quit on the board, thankfully none by the team- great win on a day when nothing went right

Correct. PSU effectively gifted Iowa 18 points, did not play anywhere close their best game and still beat them - very telling as you point out.

 

[BobPSU92]

2 safeties, 1 pick six, many fumbles not recovered. Still win. 1, 9, 2, 99, 48, 92 were ballers.

Also our starting quarterback injured and no running game. We still should have blown them out. If we go up 34-17, it probably gets worse for iowa.

It would make it too easy.

 

[Lion8286]

I swear this team just finds ways to lose games
Almost looks like it's on purpose

Wow
God I hate this team

I honestly think they try to lose in 4th

This team gets your hopes up and then blows it. Over and over and over again

Of course it's Farmer who blows game

PSU and Franklin owns Iowa

That's all

 

[rudedude]

That fumble was all on Trace. He never gave Sanders the ball.

 

[psuro]

Only if there are muffins.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Would have been ESPN’s play of the year if Iowa’s offensive lineman had run that last play into the end zone for the win.
