PSU vs Michigan game thread

[AtlantaLion]

Back in '93, Dick Vermeil said "Penn State's passing game sucks." Sue heard it, told Joe, who called Dick to ask him about it. Funny how the passing game improved markedly after that.

Kerry Collins happened after that.

Not sure Joe had a lot to do with that.

I remember that like it was yesterday. Vermeil pissed me off, but he was right.

Were you outraged???

 

[We Are . . .]

I hate 1st and goal.

 

[BobPSU92]

Three trips inside the 10, three field goals.

 

[BobPSU92]

Were you outraged???

ALWAYS.

 

[PSU87]

Maybe someone can tell me what a FG does for us there....still need a TD. Sorry don't get the call AT ALL.

 

[canuckhal]

Eventually we need a touchdown.

 

[psu00]

I just fired myself.

Well at least you believe in accountability. . (Could you fire Donovan before you fire yourself? It would make you MVP instantly).

Made no sense given that we're unlikely to have a better chance at a TD

A TD now and you take the lead. Honestly do you have any confidence that we could call a play on 4th down for the TD and then call another play for the 2 point conversion?

The only thing I can think is that Hack was hurt and ran off to the sideline.

should have been three easy points. low snap killed it. of course you go for the three there.

It's what you do when you have little confidence that your offense can execute a 2-point conversion. Pretty simple.

Chanes for a TD are better from the 3. Doesn't help that we burned TOs.

 

[harjeff]

The best chance ay a TD is scoring from outside the red zone

 

[canuckhal]

The question is: how many more opportunities are going to give for PSU to win?

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

What a shitty kickoff.

 

[NapaNit]

Hey, just two more field goals and we win!

 

[ILLINOISLION]

TWO MORE FGs - WE WIN IT!

Next time we kick the FG on 1st & Goal to save time!

 

[We Are . . .]

Put the game in the hands of our special teams... Oh, wait!

 

[PennSt8er]

Umm. Short kickoff again. Hire my grandmother to kick.

 

[LTFox14]

One of the big differences is the tackling. Our tackling is terrible. They stick us every time.

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

Do we have a Special Teams coach?

 

[mjh218]

I can see the thought behind a fg. A TD goves you the win. I also see why you would go for it and give Mich ball on 2 if you miss.

However, our complete and total inability to move the ball at all inside 5 yard lines would make me want to kick the FG. We have run about 10 plays inside their 10 and none of them have been successful.

I am so unbelievably confused on the kick offs. Why can't Julious put it jnto the endzone? He is not even close. Mich is catching the ball on the 10 yard line

 

[tallahasseelion]

should have been three easy points. low snap killed it. of course you go for the three there.

oops. i guess we made it.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Pretty clear that we do not know how to select players for special teams. Can't be our best 11.

 

[harjeff]

Need the count to count our special team blunders today.....

Bad KO's
Bad Punts
Fumbled Punt Ret inside the 10
KO coverage Terrible tackling

 

[AtlantaLion]

Anyone else want to punch this play by play guy in the face?

Its what you do when you are dumb.

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

The "Vandy Pretender" is gradually exposing himself and his staff.

 

[PSU87]

More confidence than I have in us getting back into position to score again!

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Whiff whiff whiff whiff whiff on the kickoff return.

 

[BobPSU92]

It's always something with this team. Now a special teams breakdown.

 

[BobPSU92]

Pass interference on Williams. That's the game.

 

[Yboby]

Anyone else want to punch this play by play guy in the face?

I just don't want to get emotionally hijacked.

 

[psu00]

Here we go again! Why are they not kicking the ball through the end zone??? Yet again, he's kicking short and......once again......we see the special-teams completely flop around like fish on a hot dock- unable to tackle anyone.

 

[canuckhal]

That's a killer.

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

#10 grabbing the receiver during the entire route. Is this coached?

 

[sluggo72]

It's always something with this team. Now a special teams breakdown.

How true

 

[androcles]

...I think our "gunners" on kickoffs often over run the play .... instead of slowing up a little and keeping contain...
