Official PSU - Wisconsin 2021 Game Thread

[Wesauking Lion]

33 yds and 1 first down....

 

[ftlpsu]

I really think Coach Franklin controls everything…..I mean we have seen this dumb game management for many years

 

[okinburg1]

One first down and 43 yards of offense. Many have used the word but I think it bears repeating - PUTRID

 

[YorkCoLion]

Can someone start a collection to shut Joel Klatt up?

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

Often you don’t have a #1 running back because you don’t have a #1 running back, not because you have five to choose from.

 

[dogwood3131]

**** this whole offensive unit.
..staff ....players...ball boys...

 

[PSUcup1]

Worst half of offense in CJF era??

 

[psudsl08]

Bring back Kirk C and the 2014 offensive line

 

[PAgeologist]

Inappropriate for Alvarez to be there in a Wisconsin shirt if he’s on the conferences payroll

You honestly think anyone in the conference gives a damn? Hell, surprised Warren didn't install him as special referee.

 

[Delco Lion]

Big props to the punter today.

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

If I’m them I go deep

 

[NCLION]

Honestly at what point do you pull Clifford?
do we wait until five games in?

 

[mn78psu83]

One 1st down and 33 yards? Is that good?

 

[AWS1022]

Should be a penalty, only gave the punt returner a 15 yard cushion.

 

[grinagrin]

Lucky to get to the half tied

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Is Cain injured? Where's Keyvone Lee?

 

[canuckhal]

Guess the defense is going to have win this game. Offense is horrible. Hopefully, can find something in the second half.

 

[slykens]

I’ll keep an open mind but this half of offensive (in more than one way) makes me question how much of an excuse COVID really was for last year’s ineptitude.

 

[bkmtnittany1]

Couple thoughts...Clifford stinks....Wisconsin is really good at holding...our O line does nothing really well

 

[Midnighter2]

Bob Stoops looks like Dorothy when she entered Oz. Just dumbfounded at the defense.

 

[Erial_Lion]

What the F are we doing

 

[grinagrin]

OMG Franklin’s a moron

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

That's really what it was... an excuse.

 

[okinburg1]

Honestly I hope Wisky scores on this play

 

[ILLINOISLION]

WTF FRANKLIN - TO?

 

[psupride1997]

One. First. Down.

just a total nightmare

Kirk C is laughing somewhere today

 

[jabba2]

Need Roberson to start 2nd half. Clifford looked awful. He looks like Morelli.

 

[jmorovich]

I guess to try to and be positive…this “new” offense puts up 43 yards and only 1 first down and your NOT losing. So we got that going for us!

 

[Wesauking Lion]

time out... stupid.... clock management again...stupid. no offense...43 yrs.. ugg

 

[PSULionsDub]

Franklin is a complete moron. Your defense is gassed and you keep them on the field for one last play? What an idiot.

 

[NittanyChris]

As awful as our offense has been, this game is there for the taking.

 

[psupride1997]

Honestly at what point do you pull Clifford?
do we wait until five games in?

I was wrong, there is a difference between Adrian Martinez and Clifford. Martinez is better

 

[mn78psu83]

You have a good attitude. I like it.

 

[PAgeologist]

What a way to waste an offensive series.... can we get ANYBODY else to call plays on offense?

Not sure how you can judge most of the playcalling when you got no blocking and happy feet Clifford.

But the last series was complete shit. How do you not at least bleed the clock down as much as possible.

 

[nits74]

I know it's the first game and a new offense, but really.

 

[Midnighter2]

Wow, this Wisconsin commercial proves Alvarez is flexible enough to suck his own d***. I guess it's better than a 'We Are Wisconsin' commercial though...

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Need Roberson to start 2nd half. Clifford looked awful. He looks like Morelli.

Not even. To me he looks like Bolden against Alabama.

 

[AWS1022]

Couple thoughts...Clifford stinks....Wisconsin is really good at holding...our O line does nothing really well

We need to start holding on very play…make them call it.

 

[KC-KS-Lion]

I really think Coach Franklin controls everything…..I mean we have seen this dumb game management for many years

We've been spotting teams much of the first half for years and several coaches after Joe left. Need to fix that before we make the next step forward. I think the new OC turns his cell phone off of silent after the half.

 

[BostonNit]

Have they mentioned that Mertz went 21/22 with 5 TDs his first game last year?

They fail to mention that he's been very pedestrian since then.
