Official PSU - Memphis Cotton Bowl Game Thread

[BUFFALO LION]

Why? Would we have done better against Oregon?

You REALLY think getting beat by Oregon is worse than getting blown out by a G-5 team??????? Give me a frickin break.

 

[psuno1]

Coaching sucks as usual, but players are not into the game-lucky to be down just 6.

 

[Big 0]

Too much play time and not enough practice time during bowl prep. That is all on the HC.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Why take the penalty and give them another 3rd down?

the alternative was 4th & a yard. Memphis has a big OL. The odds are they could better make a 1st @ 4th & a yard vs. 3rd and 14

 

[bdgan]

I'm baffled how many guys on here prefer Cain over Journey Brown. I'm just not a big fan of the RPO.

Both RBs look good IMO. I'm not sure why we don't throw them the ball.

 

[NCLION]

Matos has a cast?

 

[PSUcup1]

This secondary blows. He was wide open with 4 guys around him

 

[paws1957]

Wow they didn’t get a first down...

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Got a break there.

 

[kb851]

• Memphis dropping passes too
• Jones just dropped another first down

 

[m.knox]

Drops and penalties are helping PSU.

 

[lein]

Most of our WR's seem like head cases. Balls right to them and drops. George looked like Shorter Jr. on that drop.

Need to start giving WR recruits psychological evaluations during the recruiting process......

they catch the ball in high school, we teach them up.

 

[RLSalty]

our db's celebrate their drops like we made a play..wtf

 

[elfman]

Never liked how the clock runs in situations like where the first quarter just ran out. Previous play was incomplete pass. Next play a penalty on the offense... clock winds and quarter runs out...

 

[83wuzme]

Good field position.
Time to have a TD drive.

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Now just run the fricken ball.

 

[lein]

1st and 10 midfield. Time for a bomb

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU with good field position after the short punt by Memphis

 

[bdgan]

the alternative was 4th & a yard. Memphis has a big OL. The odds are they could better make a 1st @ 4th & a yard vs. 3rd and 14

Are you sure about that?

 

[PennState_one]

I'm not a coach, but shouldn't they be heavily be running the ball at this point? Is it not working? Let our team simply out talent with speed and power...

 

[CoolBean]

Memphis 184, PSU 93 1st quarter

 

[NCLION]

Screen?

 

[Nitt1300]

PSU will win this game

 

[Beachwineguy]

Who’s Fryzee?

 

[PennState_one]

Drops and penalties are helping PSU.

Don't you think the opponent/defense has something to do with that??? It amazes me that people still believe in "giving a game away".

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Hamler!!!!

 

[83wuzme]

KJ !

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

And Hamler shows it how you do it.

 

[fastlax16]

That’s gonna stand at the 2. Meh.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Hamler!!!!

oops, OOB at the 2

 

[PAgeologist]

Gee...get away from the run and look what happens again....

If this continues under Ciarrocca, I think we know where the problem lies.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Cain!!!!

 

[PAgeologist]

TD Cain!!!!!

 

[CoolBean]

Now TD #21

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Good job!

 

[Sproul]

On low def, that looked like a td. High def guys, was he out of bounds?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With the PAT, it's 14-13, PSU, with 11:14 left in the 1st half

 

[83wuzme]

We can run on this defense

 

[GregInPitt]

You REALLY think getting beat by Oregon is worse than getting blown out by a G-5 team??????? Give me a frickin break.

OK

you have a break.

14-13, good guys.

 

[m.knox]

Don't you think the opponent/defense has something to do with that??? It amazes me that people still believe in "giving a game away".

Absolutely. Windsor was bearing down on the QB when I made that post. None the less, the ball was delivered and dropped.

 

[Big 0]

Defense needs to show up now.
