Football GAME THREAD: No. 6 Michigan at Penn State

[RTRMR]

The horridness of this OL is indescribable

 

[grahamtarnold]

This offense man....

 

[b&w1987]

That’s a pretty ugly series of downs.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

How does Cliff miss a wide-open Lovett?? Didn't even have to be a great pass, there was nobody near him.

Cliff threw it over his head.... totally unnecessary, should have taken something off throw and let Lovett adjust.

 

[BudatPSU]

Our tackles are single handedly killing our chances
Do we have anyone to switch?
This is ridiculous

A blocking dummy.

 

[db90]

The horridness of this OL is indescribable

It’s bad and just seems discombobulated on most plays. Sometimes I watch the tackles and they don’t really block anyone.

 

[grahamtarnold]

Should be 9-7...stupid

 

[Jerry]

My God! He made that kick! He's got it working today.

What a waste of a good defense.

 

[YYZ86]

Agreed, but he is taking a beating.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

funny thing is that Cliff had tons of time to throw against Auburn

 

[psualt]

Glad they salvaged the three. Should be up by 2. Clifford needs to hit wide open receiver down middle.

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

79’being abused. Needs te help

 

[Bird-in-Hand boy]

It snowed at my house today. I would love to be hunting right now. But I got Covid last weekend and still don't feel up to it. If it was 50 degrees and sunny I would have tried, but not 34 degrees and snow.

I waited all week to hunt geese. Been getting one or two, hunting alone. But no geese around today! Too bad. It's 35, windy and snowing. I'd have floaters on a pond. Instead, rock n roll guitar...

 

[dogwood3131]

If we do not have anyone to step in for 79 that is beyond unacceptable... As a "top" tier program

 

[Richie O]

 

[BudatPSU]

"... attempt to run the ball" James Franklin. What is the purpose of that?

2 of my cousins got turkeys today. Guess they didn't find deer, but when you're shooting at turkeys that tends to chase away deer

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

Michigan is a joke, checkdowns every passing play do not an offense make

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

on another note, how in the hell does Florida give up 42 points to Samford in the first half?

Samford is 4-5 on the year with losses to UT Martin, Mercer, Chattanooga and VMI

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

What are everyone's first half thoughts? Do you have faith Penn State could find a way to win this one?

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

I wouldn't say "faith"

Defense will need to win it which I don’t see how. I just hope 14 lives through the game. This OL is so bad I can’t see adjustments solving it. The guys we have just aren’t good enough in that area. Very poor

 

[Jerry]

Difference at halftime: Michigan had one good drive and cashed it in for a TD. We had three and came away with two FGs. Even so, thank heaven that Stout is feeling it today. Neither of those kicks were automatic. This may come down to a kick. I just hope it's not the one we faked.

 

[okinburg1]

3rd and 14 and the dreaded screen pass that continues to confound us almost gets it.

The screen pass that PSU seems completely, utterly incapable of executing

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

we're gonna get some adjustments going and win this thing

This...Clifford is going to get hurt

 

[YYZ86]

I wouldn't say "faith"

Yes. It is my lack of belief in Michigan more than anything else.

 

[Jerry]

I wouldn't say "faith." More like "hope."

 

[fkkkjm]

The silver lining is that the interior of the oline has held up well. Our tackles suck ass and are single-handedly costing us this game along with Brandon Smith. Any GM that tells 53 or 12 that they are day 1 draftees is an idiot.

Clifford needs to be able to run some.

Their kicker is great. We lose if he has one to win it.

I’ll take joke and lead over whatever the hell we are doing

I will keep my money in my pocket.

Those type of draft comments sound like the drivel Phil and his staff would say annually

 

[Jerry]

Somebody needs to be able to run some. Combined 31 yards from the backs during the half. Problem is, if we put the running game on Clifford too, we're gonna get him killed.

Yep. Of course watch next year Smith will be a tackling machine in the NFL.

Problem is I saw Kiper has Brandon Smith at like #23 overall in his latest mock draft. The guy can’t tackle and has a low football IQ. But he’s big and real fast. Good lord give me Lee or Poz any day.

 

[Sooner Lion]

79’being abused. Needs te help

Almost zero development with our OL. Honestly think some were better players 2 years ago.

 

[Sooner Lion]

Yes. He will get development and coaching at the next level.
