9 passes deflected at the line of scrimmage

[Parkerdam555]

That has to be a record.

 

[wilbury]

I suppose that's on clifford too?

Uh duh, hope you're joking

 

[pennstatefan111]

It’s a shared responsibility between the line keeping hands down and QB choosing the right passing lane

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

And the QB being short. Unlike Allar.

 

[wilbury]

Clifford 6'2", Allar 6'5". I'm sure that's it.

 

[Parkerdam555]

Clifford 6'2", Allar 6'5". I'm sure that's it.

Actually yeah, that's part of it.

 

[RickinDayton]

I agree with this take.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Actually yeah, that's part of it.

Clifford is not 6' 2 btw

 

[wilbury]

Actually yeah, that's part of it.

Allar throws side arm half the time

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

I agree with this take.

Yep

 

[psrurock]

I called that the whole game and yet why don't we ut our hands up. If you aren't getting the sack, hands up. Coach that!!!

 

[KC-KS-Lion]

That has to be a record.

OSU's 44 on Effner was a huge mismatch....on the contrary, notice how much OSU avoided Porter.

This is the first good comment on here.

 

[fkkkjm]

I think people are overlooking scouting. Years past, we heard that teams knew our plays based on pre snap looks and linemen tells. I am guessing that maybe tells are gone, but OSU was very ready for that play to Clifford’s right from snap #1. Coaching has a hand in this too if you’re predictable.

 

[LandoComando]

Wait--now balls that are batted down are all on the QB
Allar will have plenty of passes batted down due to his delivery. Clifford isn't a "short QB".

Effner was on that JTT one-on-one for most of the game while PSU was rotating doubling some of the other OSU DL

You're fighting a losing battle with some of these dimwits on this board.

I know I just don't understand how people that supposedly watch this much football can't grasp these things

 

[psrurock]

Except for our turnovers, this was a tightly contested game.. I hate losing yet it was competitive for a while.

 

[KC-KS-Lion]

You might be right, I just noticed the play where 44 drove Effner back to Clifford, knocked the ball out and recovered the fumble.

Porter should have been one on one with Harrison the entire game. Stupid. No way Harrison has that kind of game. That was the difference. And 44, too! Superhuman game by him. That’s what beat PSU!

 

[Parkerdam555]

This reminds me of Matt Seneca starting over Zach Mills, or Anthony Morelli starting over Darryl Clark.

The coaches are playing a QB just because he is more senior, and everyone can see major problems with it

There it is
Thank you

 

[bdgan]

Difficult to say. You could blame the OL. You could blame Clifford for a slow release. You could blame the staff for not calling plays that get the ball out more quickly.

 

[bdgan]

Porter should have been one on one with Harrison the entire game.

Not easy to do

 

[Parkerdam555]

Not easy to do

They moved him to the slot. Put Joey on him there and you give up a mismatch with Egbuke or Fleming.

We got out done because they had more athletes.

 

[JWB389]

I liked the 3rd down play where Strange took the hard hit. 3rd and 10 and he runs a 5 yard route.

 

[SEPATOPTEN]

There it is
Thank you

Bad take. Allar does not beat them either.

 

[lazydave841]

They moved him to the slot. Put Joey on him there and you give up a mismatch with Egbuke or Fleming.

We got out done because they had more athletes.

And they were missing JSN (who is every bit as tough to defend as Harrison Jr), and lost Williams today to injury (his running style would have been better than Henderson a la Allen/Singleton).

You have to develop a DL that can get pressure on the QB and stop the run fairly well to beat a team like OSU. LBs have to be multi dimensional. We have 2 that are.

 

[LandoComando]

It's not a bad take. What was the point of playing Seneca at all in '01? Morelli in '07?

In both cases it would have been better for the next season (both of which had us in contention) if we benched the more senior guy

That's true but VERY different than saying Allar wins today

 

[AvgUser]

Except for our turnovers, this was a tightly contested game.. I hate losing yet it was competitive for a while.

Moral victories count for shit

 

[LandoComando]

It is different, and I'm not saying Allar wins today.

I'm saying take 9-3 or 8-4 to have an experienced QB in '23.

I'll go even further and say that, IMO, the coaches should've told Clifford he could be a GA or something. They should've said no to him returning for year #6 and using a scholarship.

This we agree on 100%
