Football Defense powers Penn State to 38-10 win over SMU in CFP First Round

[Marylovesthelions]

That is 2 fouls against 11 not called

 

[fastlax16]

Embarrassing student section. All our worst fears.

 

[m.knox]

That is 2 fouls against 11 not called

Action is really heating up between him and 54.

 

[AvgUser]

Are the snaps meaningful if the game is completely out of hand?

Absolutely. He’s taken zero so far

 

[LandoComando]

Rojas replaces Carter at edge next year?

 

[NittanyChris]

Rojas is having a fantastic game.

 

[PAgeologist]

Rojas is having a fantastic game.

He and Deluca picked a great day to have their best games.

 

[knickslions]

The score is not indicative of our performance so far. A better team than SMU would be in it or leading it as we struggled on offense to start things off.

Lmao

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

they even almost missed the fg....is this the first game they have ever broadcast?

 

[bdroc]

Rojas replaces Carter at edge next year?

I hope Sutton returns. We just got a DE from A&M

 

[GregInPitt]

They switched to B10 refs at the half....

 

[Nostraduzzi]

So this isn’t a big game anymore?

It’s a scrimmage.

 

[ryoder1]

The 2 pick 6s gave the offense a big cushion to get it going.

Our offensive line has been atrocious. OSU would be eating us alive and those Allar scrambles would not be happening.

 

[bdroc]

Embarrassing student section. All our worst fears.

Didn't they hand out white shakers?

 

[LandoComando]

I hope Sutton returns. We just got a DE from A&M

I hope DDS returns too
Enai White is a project though--would Rojas be better as a pure edge rusher and spy--like we use Carter

 

[ryoder1]

Lucky there.

 

[Phil's Rug]

Went for the onside kick, make them pay now with the short field

 

[Marylovesthelions]

It’s a scrimmage.

If we win this IS a big win for Franklin

 

[91Joe95]

As God is my witness, this is the worst coached game I have ever seen.

 

[ryoder1]

What the hell with this piss poor pass protection?!

 

[LandoComando]

I'd rather play for Lashlee than Cignetti--he's not giving up
Our pass protection is horrific

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Allar is having an awful game. No way should he take a sack there.

 

[PAgeologist]

Allar is having an awful game. No way should he take a sack there.

Which one?

 

[scrivener]

This OL is maddeningly inconsistent. So spotty.

 

[LandoComando]

Lack of discipline finally helps out--thank you SMU

 

[LandoComando]

Allar is having an awful game. No way should he take a sack there.

To be clear--you think the sacks are on Allar and the OL is great?

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

I hate announcers in general.....blah

 

[PAgeologist]

Wormley with the T-bag block to draw the foul.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Why ON EARTH does Allar not have a short outlet? He's been hanging onto the ball far too long as the pocket collapses.

SMU provides another gift, with a penalty.

 

[Nostraduzzi]

If we win this IS a big win for Franklin

Not so fast, check with Loado.

 

[LandoComando]

Not so fast, check with Loado.

The narrative will be he beat a team we were favored by over a TD against

 

[Nostraduzzi]

Both teams out-dumbing themselves.

 

[LandoComando]

So--that's why we didn't try the 46 yard FG earlier--anything over 40 is unlikely

 

[Marylovesthelions]

I would settle for trading scores this half

 

[ryoder1]

Is that the weather on why he barely gets a 40 yarder over the crossbar?

 

[Marylovesthelions]

0 mph wind with 30+ gusts

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Points stalemate and 7 minutes burned. I’ll take that

 

[NCLION]

The lack of a legitimate WR really makes our offense pedestrian
If they take the running game away we need trickery to move the ball
I hope we aren’t done portalingiing

 

[PAgeologist]

Is that the weather on why he barely gets a 40 yarder over the crossbar?

That's my guess. Hard turf so he can't plant as well. Plus cold foot and cold ball.

 

[Marylovesthelions]

According to the announcers, I guess we can't count the int tds.
