They're valuable but you have to fully understand why they're happening. The other team's defense is dying because of our elite our defense is. Ohio State has played better offenses than we have.
Because they expect more--not saying it makes sense but just being realistic about it.
LOL... I make 3-4 posts a week on here compared to the 400-500 posts/week you make, but mine was a "crazy rant" because I actually posted some actual data to support my argument. Got it... wow - you truly are a piece of work. Now I am understanding why so many posters have you on "ignore".
The people that have me on ignore are the ones that don't like to be challenged
Don't ya just love how Michigan fans always root for Ohio State when they play Penn State? 😆 🤣 😂
you mean both of them? the one where we scored 30 or the one where we scored 41?
It's very possible but McCord hasn't exactly been great against good defenses. I'm much more worried about Michigan than Ohio State but until Penn State proves they can win the skepticism is warranted.
Disagree. OSU's offense is good but it is banged up and not as good as last year. This game could go either way.
yes, but your most productive RB's will be healthy, chip and hayden...and yes, while not as good as last year, it's plenty good enough to beat psu...score 21 points and you win, psu will struggle to get 17
Penn State isn't into football beauty contests. Teams have played us to take away the explosive plays while stopping the run. They play their safeties close to the LOS and tell their CBs to not get beat deep. That leaves a grind-it-out ground game and intermediate passes. And that is what we've done. We haven't played anyone the caliber of the two-loss ND team, the one that outplayed tOSU, but we've won them all handily. Our starters are fresh and, for the first time, have our #2 WR.
😆 🤣 😂 look at you kissing Ohio State a$$...Michigan "man" 😆 🤣 😂
I don't know what planet you are living on, but Penn State scored 31 in last year's game with a quarterback doing his best impersonation of a turnover machine. Ohio State had one explosive run and needed 354 yards from Stroud, which isn't going to happen for McCord.
If Franklin loses to Michigan AND Ohio State there's going to be valid complaints and concerns about his ability to get us to that level. I won't want him fired or anything crazy but, like with Day and Ohio State, he has to start winning those games or there will be a time when it's time to find someone that can. Hopefully he wins and we start seeing that "special future" sooner than later.
Penn state has a great shot in this game. The team is balanced on both sides of the ball and this isn’t Ohio state of past. Will be very disappointed to not win this game.
a nightmare for Michigan when you had the advantage of your evening white out gimmick, and the year you had a generational RB..you have neither this year, and Michigan has done quite well at beaver stadium in noon games..
not about a beauty contest, it's about forcing the osu defense to play honest, direct impact on how psu's offense will operate.
just being honest, henderson and williams have been the better RB's, but can't stay healthy..sorry you don't want honest opinions, but i figured you'd get enough pablum from the regulars here..
last year was in the cozy confines of beaver stadium, every team plays at a lower level on the road, sorry you don't like facts..and your run game will struggle, because your offensive line is average at best..
Last year has nothing to do with this yr. Both teams have much different personnel, especially where it matters at QB. Would u say our offense isn't in a good situation with OSUs defense, which is very good. Both teams appear to be works in progress offensively, but boasting really good defenses.
You mean like when it took a fluke miracle pass to a tight end in 2021 for a College football playoff team and Big Ten champion that routed Ohio State...to beat a 7-6 Penn State team with a hobbled quarterback with broken ribs 21-17? At noon? Or was it that 2015 team that needed a second half comeback to beat a sanctioned broken down psu....
OK, I don't think it has been PSU's intention to show you everything about how PSU's offense operates. You may want to keep that in mind.
I think somebody in Maize and blue is VERY worried about PSU this year even more than he's worried about 11 warriors 😆
generally speaking, osu fans are the worst, but at least they have reason to crow, they have accomplished a lot..i hear the same from you guys every year, psu needs to do something before they get the benefit of the doubt...osu will win saturday, and if the offense can't make splash plays, it's a 2 score game...and since you brought it up, Michigan is a bad matchup for psu, your pass rush and secondary won't help cover for your soft interior defense..
even Michigan fans fall for this.............no coach is "keeping it vanilla" 6 games into the season...you are what you are at this point
lol, ok guy....i'm looking for all the smoke, psu and osu will both be exposed by UM, but we can wait until november to chat if you like..you guys should be recovered by then from the incoming board meltdown
The PSU that has scored 30+ in 17 of its last 19 games? If OSU is held to 21 or less, I like our chances a lot.
Last year....tOSU won 44 31 but PSU was in the lead, late in the game 30 to 24
Pardon some of the fanboys on here who embarrass the rest of us with their arrogance....and undeserved considering our woes vs Osu, mich, etc. A select few on here actually have perspective and balance.
The same is true of PSU. I have no idea about this game. Allar is a rookie playing in a big road game. We can talk about the trenches which are important, but his play is everything.
Lol so having balanced and respectful conversation is kissing butt? Ok. The excuse machine on here makes our board sound like a whiny fanbase. We can prove it this year or not.
We don't have to prove it--just accept we're better because we beat Delaware
not sure why you included games from last year, unless you didn't wanna look foolish about crowing about this year's schedule, lol...and wasn't that with cliff, the guy that keeps getting bashed on here?..he wasn't great, but he had mobility and escapabilty, two things that allar lacks...and oh yeah, this year's game is in cbus, that's a huge factor..
i agree, psu blew that game, couldn't believe psu gagged so hard...psu may be "the better team", however you may define that..it's still on the road, a huge factor with a newbie qb...
nothing wrong with homerism, but gotta be willing to look at objective facts...as much of a homer as i am, i had to see UM beat osu in cbus to buy into it...psu could be "the better team", and still lose because it hard to beat a very good team playing at home...
