first half thoughts by Bob Flounders....I got gravy on my good tee shirt...

I’d like to see an actual screen pass to go with the real draw play we ran in the first half. Need to show some new stuff.

I’d like to see them get the ball to Hamler some way some how.

Again.

Jones is right. PSU offense needs to take charge because anything less than a 20 point lead and you're risking a replay of last year at East Lansing. Offense either needs to get aggressive and score or it needs to consistently make 1st downs the whole second half.

​

 

[Nittany_93]

Will we see the Lion package?

 

[paws1957]

Well that was less than stellar

 

[Marylovesthelions]

Wide receivers are missing. What is next step?

 

[RickinDayton]

Well that was less than stellar

Startling statistic: PSU only has a 41% 3rd down conversion rate!

 

[tboyer]

Bottom line is PSU is losing the battle at the LOS. On both sides of the ball. There's no pocket for Trace, they're going to have to start rolling him out to buy time.

This is really bad. Something is going to have to change here or PSU loses this game.

 

[BobPSU92]

3rd and 12, receiver wide open over the middle. 1st down, msu. Ridiculous.

 

[m.knox]

Unbelievable...... converts a 3rd and 12

 

[We Are . . .]

Can this defense create a turnover?

 

[CaryPSU]

ZERO playmakers on D!

 

[BobPSU92]

Another open receiver for a 1st down.

It all adds up... Death by pin pricks.

 

[tboyer]

Penn State essentially has three turnovers counting the fake punt and penalty on third down stop. They had better get some turnovers back.

 

[BobPSU92]

Turnover!

 

[step.eng69]

Well, or defense should be gassed by the 4th

 

[Greg80]

Needed that

 

[paws1957]

Finally

 

[wex18]

And there's your turnover.

 

[tboyer]

third and 12 converted .You can throw down the middle when you don't have defensive tackles in your face. Trace doesn't have that this game.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Critical interception. Maybe a game-changer. Defense has been on the field way too long and I see them wearing down in the 4th. Too bad Taylor could not avoid that shoe-string tackle or he goes the distance.

 

[harjeff]

There's the TO!!!!!

Almost the defensive TD!

 

[m.knox]

Nice fourth down call........

 

[BobPSU92]

Once again, we can't get out of our own way. McSorley trips on the 4th-down play.

 

[paws1957]

WOW!!!!

 

[Lion Lineage]

Is this game a joke?

 

[slykens]

Well, there's always the fourth quarter. No urgency or sharpness.

 

[CoolBean]

Trace is way off today

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

one of those games....that wasn't even a slip...he tripped on the turf out of nowhere

 

[paws1957]

Unbelievable!

 

[AWS1022]

Nice fourth down call........

I’m quite sure they didn’t call the Trace slip and fall play.

 

[Nitt1300]

anybody who was blaming this game on the defense is an idiot

 

[nits74]

Has the same feel to it as last year.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

I hate our turf. It was good when we played pro-style power-football, but not for this offense.

 

[trz103]

I thought coach was going to do whatever it took to be elite???

He could start by ditching the still abysmal play calling and ill advised decisions!!!

 

[ShoreLion85]

I don’t recall a worse game by Trace - he’s been terrible today -throwing into coverage, fumbling, falling down, making bad keep or run decision. It had his normal game we’d be up a few scores

 

[harjeff]

Trace looks lost today.....I know the OL is getting manhandled but he just seems wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy off. Just fell down while trying to step up on a critical 4th down play! UGH!!!

 

[LMTLION]

Regardless of the turf monster, without the ability to throw the ball down field this is not a top 10 team. Should’ve thrown the ball into the end zone at some point during that drive
