Official PSU - MSU Game Thread

[BobPSU92]

Now let's get going defense!

Nope.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Apke is a double edged sword.

 

[Obliviax]

What happened to our pass defense?

 

[Big 0]

Defense continues to get burned in the passing game. What has happened?

 

[step.eng69]

Seriously...Seriously

 

[LionIze]

D Is GARBAGE!!!!!

 

[kijanacat]

McSorley still over-throwing everything high - this is like the 4th game in a row where he has thrown high overthrow after high overthrow....

Bates and Bucholz? Looks like the Defense didn't make the trip either.

 

[ntlnfn]

defense looks like they are on roller skates. getting pushed all over the field

 

[Richard the LIONhearted]

They found our safety one on one.

 

[LionDeNittany]

Do we adjust to their passing game, or just get killed?

Cant adjust on that series but going to have to before the half.

Seems like our LB isn't dropping back far enough. Effectively takes himself out of run protection & pass protection.

LdN

 

[okinburg1]

Looks like their coaches watched the OSU game and learned something. Our coaches, not so much, at least not yet

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

What happened to our pass defense?

No pressure...?

 

[PennSt8er]

Why does the Pass D suck so much? Scheme or personnel?

 

[AWS1022]

They threw that flag pretty much right away...

No they didn't because I didn't think they were going to call anything and then the flag came in from downfield.

 

[CoastGuard2018]

Defense continues to get burned in the passing game. What has happened?

Apke is a major liability in pass coverage and it gets exploited weekly.

 

[PSUBluebird]

Too hard on offense last week it's defense that's sucking.

Apke = Weake

 

[rmem]

OSU exposed Apke as a liability. One on one coverage with him?

 

[LurkerLazarus]

I think it's time for the Apke era to end.

 

[MANASSASPSU]

Why does our D suck all of a sudden?

Secondary thinks it is a 7 game season. Two weeks in a row they have been lost.

 

[mjh218]

That gap in the middle of the field has killed PSU. MSUgave them every chance to hold them to a fg. But thesecondary has been getting dusted

 

[Sooner Lion]

Looks like their coaches watched the OSU game and learned something. Our coaches, not so much, at least not yet

#28 killing us on pass defense.

 

[Mattbekker409]

Why does the Pass D suck so much? Scheme or personnel?

Personnel. Apke.

 

[PSUBluebird]

Common Pry.....pry defense head out of ass, let's go!

 

[GastonLion]

Just like last week, we're not getting any pressure on the QB. He can stand back there and wait for his routes to develop.

 

[PennSt8er]

It’s pretty clear DAntonio is going to pass all day.

 

[maxxedout]

Honestly, hate to say this but we are not playing like a team that could go toe-to-toe with Bama yet today. Hopefully our defensive backs can play tighter in coverage on the next few series. Minimal pressure on MSU QB as well.

 

[blion72]

Our defense is just not very good.

Bucholtz loss apparently more disruptive than we thought

 

[okinburg1]

Our defense is just not very good.

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

 

[Pocono Lion]

Absolutely ZERO pressure on the QB. AGAIN!!!

 

[Big 0]

Looking like we might see a 1999 like collapse.

 

[CJF_Said_The_Great_Joe_Paterno]

Too funny, the MSU OL was guilty of both Ineligble Down Field AND Offensive Pass Interference on PSU d-back attempting to cover receiver (the ball was clearly in the air when he was riding Allen from behind preventing him from getting to ball - textbook definition of Offensive PI). So what do the ridiculous B1G Officials do? The call the more minor penalty on MSU when they are supposed to call the Major 15-Yard Penalty when this happens (i.e., 2 penalties on same play)! Laughable, what a joke

 

[psuguy43]

No they didn't because I didn't think they were going to call anything and then the flag came in from downfield.

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

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Two MSU penalties and they still get the TD.

So long to the “no touchdowns allowed in the first quarter” stat!

 

[katchthis]

Honestly, hate to say this but we are not playing like a team that could go toe-to-toe with Bama yet today. Hopefully our defensive backs can play tighter in coverage on the next few series. Minimal pressure on MSU QB as well.

I'm worried about going toe to toe with MSU.

 

[PennStateNate]

Seriously watch this team and tell me they are a top 4 team and could compete with Bama, Georgia, ND, Clemson.

 

[maxxedout]

Looking like we might see a 1999 like collapse.

Easy killer

 

[nits74]

Was a big fan of this defense, now starting to look likje last year's.

 

[Phil's Rug]

Barkley squeaks out a 1st down

 

[Grass]

Not having a pass rush is hurting the secondary. Zero pressure on the QB is a recipe for disaster.

 

[katchthis]

It’s pretty clear DAntonio is going to pass all day.

His running attack has been poor this year, and guys are wide open. Easy to decide Air Attack

 

[Phil's Rug]

Hamilton with the 1st down and 16 yards with some wiggle
