Official PSU - MSU Game Thread

[Pocono Lion]

Pass defense looks lost. We’re going to need to outscore them because we have shown no ability to stop them at this point.

 

[LionDeNittany]

D just is being picked apart by these intermediate throws.

Clearly a deficiency that needs to be fixed quickly.

MSU has no running game so why arent we covering their receivers

 

[lionroar88]

Farmer should not be covering WRs

 

[AWS1022]

We'll see how this goes, but I'm a little scared that you are right. Padded stats against bad teams early during the season

It's not like MSU is an offensive juggernaut. Our defense is making them look like a Big 12 team.

 

[Yboby]

Anyone else think our D looks slow today?

Looks to me like we are getting outschemed. May have to play it straight up.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Guess we won't see defensive adjustments until the second half.... secondary getting sliced up

Not much you can do except outscore the opponent when even blitzing doesn't get any pressure on the QB.

 

[AWS1022]

Quit your whining - it doesn't matter when the flag came in, it was a penalty and was not smart football.

Bite me.

 

[maxxedout]

Indy 10 Wisky 0

May see some evidence that the B1G East is far superior...

Lots of game left to play.

 

[nits74]

Penn State defense making MSU QB look like a superbowl winning QB.

Offense may to have to win it. This against a team that hasn't been able to score much all year. Go figure.

 

[RochLion]

Need pressure up the middle on D.

 

[fkkkjm]

How in the hell do we not have anyone better than Apke at safety.

Guman, astorino, Fox, scirroto, Sukay


Some things never change

 

[PSUcup1]

That last play was some head scratching defense. Had to be a blown assignment by Allen or apke

 

[TheGLOV]

Trace misses too many wide open receivers

Shhhhh! Don't speak the truth. People will call you a hater.

 

[Big 0]

Looking like the D has replaced Saeed on the milk carton...

They traded places.

 

[CJF_Said_The_Great_Joe_Paterno]

Our pass defense looks like the days of Scrap as the D-Coordinator (i.e., teams slicing and dicing our secondary......converting 3rd-&-Forevers at a 100% rate, etc.....).

 

[lionroar88]

Losing Brown and Bucholz has really hurt our D! Like losing the LBs last year

 

[maxxedout]

Here's a thought. Keep passing, don't run at all, until MSU adjusts, THEN, go to the run when there might be running lanes

I am fairly confident that this is the plan.

 

[Phil's Rug]

Wisky down 10-7

 

[fairfaxlion2]

Hard to get worked up over the CFP at this point. I'm not sure we are really that good

 

[Phil's Rug]

Hey a sack!

 

[lionroar88]

YES! SACK!

 

[maxxedout]

That’s more like it

 

[PSUcup1]

Nice coverage sack there

 

[PSUcup1]

Big stop. Nice work D

 

[CJF_Said_The_Great_Joe_Paterno]

No holding called there on 2nd down sack - LMAO! The OL mugged the crap out of GM-#99.

 

[PennSt8er]

A PUNT!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!

 

[Norm Petersin]

Gross-Matos is going to be a force

 

[psuguy43]

Pass defense looks lost. We’re going to need to outscore them because we have shown no ability to stop them at this point.

we need to get out of that zone defense... they are carving us up in the holes that leaves over the middle, just like OSU did late. We have good enough d-backs to take these guys ins man.

 

[psuro]

Gross-Matos is going to be a force

OMG!! YGM!!

 

[Phil's Rug]

1st down Holland

 

[PSUcup1]

Why have we stopped running the sweep play to Barkley?

 

[PA_JOE]

Where’s Cabinda been the last 2 series?

 

[PSUcup1]

That's on trace

 

[LionDeNittany]

Where’s Cabinda been the last 2 series?

Under the ball thrown over his head mostly.

 

[m.knox]

Where’s Cabinda been the last 2 series?

Noticed that. 47 is in there.

 

[LionDeNittany]

Gesecki needs to run up field when he catchs the ball. Not sideways

 

[bxle]

Charles with another good special teams play.

 

[lionroar88]

D has a decent series, then awful one by the O...

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Barkley was WIDE OPEN on both first and second downs.....THROW HIM THE DAMN BALL!

 

[mjh218]

That was Sanders, not Barkley. But he was in fact wide open. Especially on first down. He could have had a big gainer
