Official PSU - Memphis Cotton Bowl Game Thread

[PAgeologist]

I'm going to need more beer. Perhaps something stronger.

You guys do realize our entire defense is predicated on getting pressure on a very consistent basis right? When we don't this is what happens in every game, whether a good opponent or not. It is what it is.

 

[paws1957]

Well that series was less than stellar!

 

[dogwood3131]

**** this play Journey in the secondary!!!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

with the PAT, it's 7-10, Memphis, with 7:44 left in the 1st quarter

 

[danvillenit]

Big 12 defense in this one. Which should be embarrassing if you are PSU

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Our tackling sucks. Joe's turning in his grave.

 

[dbsteel]

Cover somebody!!! Good God. Secondary needs an upgrade.

 

[PSU.:.]

Who coaches this secondary dam he sucks
Like the 80th time this year guys get beat long

 

[bdgan]

ugh, blown coverage

No safeties?

 

[JoeBot409]

D needs to play better

 

[CoastGuard2018]

WTF was Reid doing?

Should be benched! Total lack of effort!

 

[pandaczar12]

Big time hold on that TD run.

 

[lein]

What would Don Brown do if he was coaching the D?

 

[Storm at Sea]

No doubt, John Reid has been the Achilles Heal of this team. He consistently gets beat. Never the same since his injury.

 

[nits74]

The defense is overrated.

 

[AvalonJohn]

This secondary is the worst ever

Yup, what happened to Reid? He's gotten worse ......

 

[Big 0]

Announcers already cutting on Penn State, but the team deserves it. Defense doesn’t look like they came to play.

 

[Greg80]

Reid makes 2 nice plays and then a brain fart

 

[Rhino80]

Slight hold on that TD run. OL had a rear naked choke.

 

[PearlSUJam]

Ankle tackling

 

[psualt]

Not sure that’s on Reid. I have less belief he makes the mental errors than I do our safeties. Hell Taylor started this game looking like he played dizzy bat.

 

[83wuzme]

I often disagree with Pry’s defensive philosophy against teams like this. Sometimes, you have to keep things in front of you. Get too aggressive against a team that can make deep throws and this is what happens.

 

[LeatherHelmets]

Secondary sucks. Toney can't tackle and Yetur looks like a statue. Sad performance by the D, aside from Parsons.

 

[ryoder1]

This looks like a shootout. I was concerned our D would not be able to get off the field. 3rd downs kill us again.

 

[NCLION]

You guys do realize our entire defense is predicated on getting pressure on a very consistent basis right? When we don't this is what happens in every game, whether a good opponent or not. It is what it is.

Because after week two teams figured this out but we still play same soft zone
All the QB has to do is have courage to hold ball and someone is going to be wide open

 

[LMTLION]

Announcers already cutting on Penn State, but the team deserves it. Defense doesn’t look like they came to play.

We do deserve it. This is a pathetic effort.

 

[Connorpozlee]

WTF was Reid doing?

I assume he was expecting a safety to pick him up.

 

[lionville]

Big time hold on that TD run.

Toney was held and had hands in his face. No call on either.

 

[PearlSUJam]

 

[AWS1022]

And we can’t seem to do that anymore...I’m not sure why not with the talent we have on the line.

 

[PennState_one]

I am seriously craving the time when PSU makes teams like this look silly. Not quite there yet but I believe they will get there sooner than later. They really need a win here though. I don't care if it's by 1 point.

 

[WDLion]

The defense is overrated.

Fire the OC.

 

[paws1957]

cant keep giving their QB all day to throw!

 

[Wesauking Lion]

Terry Smith better be fired.. the d backs cant cover ...good grief... easy when the receivers are 15 yds open

 

[cvilleelkscoach]

Reid committed the cardinal sin of being a DB. He got caught looking in the backfield.

 

[uscgPSU]

Who coaches this secondary dam he sucks
Like the 80th time this year guys get beat long

When will we be reading this job posting?

 

[Media Fan]

I think we need a new DC too!

how about a new secondary coach.

 

[bdgan]

We do attack and leave the middle of the field open.

 

[PSUcup1]

Inexcusable effort by Reid on that play

 

[RGWhirly]

Reid makes 2 nice plays and then a brain fart

No idea WTF he stopped running. Maybe he thought QB was going to get sacked. Inexcusable.

 

[cavanaugh208]

I seriously hate our secondary
