PSU vs Michigan game thread

Those stickers on their helmets look super ghey.

 

[aquapong]

If we have one good game in us this season, please make it today.

 

[lionlurker]

I guess Barkley is the only guy on the team. Only he gets to touch the ball.

 

[PennStateNate]

Barkley for 56 to the 10 and then, 3 straight runs inside the 10 for nothing..

Horrible

 

[harjeff]

Nice run for Barkley to start...No we fall apart!

 

[EPC FAN]

Wasted that long run by Barkley.

 

[lionlurker]

So he runs 70 yards, gets gassed, and we give it to him 3 more times in a row.

Nice.

 

[PSUMATT85]

Wasted that long run by Barkley.

I thought we scored three? I wouldn't call that a waste.

 

[harjeff]

Terrible play calls! First 2 plays were good then got wayyyyyyyyy to conservative

 

[psu00]

Barkley for 56 to the 10 and then, 3 straight runs inside the 10 for nothing..

Horrible

Yep. 3rd and goal from the 9 and they run Barkley again??

 

[nits74]

Horrible

Words alone can't describe the abysmal play calling.

I don't understand those 3 calls, at all. There's less room in that part of the field and Michigan is going to crowd the line in the base case. On 2 of the 3 we start Barkley from a standing position, on the other it's that Wildcat where everyone already knows who will get the ball. Where was a call like that one to Godwin that netted a nice gain?

 

[fairfaxlion2]

The wildcat on 1st and goal was a "great" call..

 

[lionlurker]

Very peculiar play calling indeed.

 

[psualt]

So is the audible Donovan's fault?

 

[Yboby]

It's almost like they didn't want to take the chance of missing out on a field goal. Not a good strategy in a game like this.

It's almost like Jay and Galen never left

 

[harjeff]

Need to get Reid in their Williams keeps getting burned

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Why the hell isn't #95 in the game on an obvious passing down?

 

[NittanyChris]

WAY too much time to throw on that play. Our D-Line is too good to let that happen.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Pretty clear to me that if we can't play man defense in the backfield Michigan is going to have their will in the passing game. Need to blitz our LBs since they don't help much in pass protection anyway.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Michigan has ONE receiver and we're letting him beat the shit out of us.....great scouting of his game from last week!

 

[BobPSU92]

Obviously not happy about three runs with goal to go.

A fear becoming reality is the pass coverage. So far, PSU's secondary can't stay with um's receivers.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

WAY too much time to throw on that play. Our D-Line is too good to let that happen.

Not as good with Nassib on the sideline.

 

[harjeff]

Need to blitz on every down! Get aggressive for crying out loud. Ruddock isn't going to be running all over the field like Barret....go get him!

 

[BobPSU92]

rudock has had all day to throw, and receivers are wide open. That doesn't work.

 

[PennStateNate]

Michigan made that look easy.. WTF happened to our D?

 

[m.knox]

Michigan made that look easy.. WTF happened to our D?

Way too easy.......

 

[erie lion]

Defensive backfield looks poor early. Really need to step it up. That is all.

 

[harjeff]

Terrible D!

 

[nits74]

Michigan made that look easy.. WTF happened to our D?

Maybe it was never that good. Remember the competition.

 

[nitlion93]

With the long injury timeout, we should have our best Dline in. 94 is a huge dropoff from Nassib.

 

[bxle]

WAY too much time to throw on that play. Our D-Line is too good to let that happen.

Hoke wasn't the best game day coach but did recruit well. They aren't lacking for O linemen.

 

[PennSt8er]

Might be a long morning

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Defensive backfield looks poor early. Really need to step it up. That is all.

I don't think we're smart enough to play zone back there. Hopefully we're athletic enough.

 

[BobPSU92]

Farmer, you can't pause for five seconds before returning a kick.

 

[Yboby]

Farmer better take the touchback if he's going to run it out like that!

 

[EPC FAN]

Need to blitz on every down! Get aggressive for crying out loud. Ruddock isn't going to be running all over the field like Barret....go get him!

This is no college coach across the field. That's a guy who took an NFL team to the Super Bowl. Blitz him and he will adjust and burn your ass. It has to be change up on every down.

 

[harjeff]

Williams and Golden need to be replaced by Reid and Farmer.

Those 2 have been bad all year...maybe starting due to senior day, one can hope

 

[NittanyChris]

Our secondary misses Lucas.
I think this is going to be a very high scoring game.
