Football GAME THREAD: Penn State vs. Auburn

[johnmpsu]

Make them go a long way every possession and PSU wins this game. I don't think they can sustain a long drive.

that was PI Danielson, every time, he ran through the receiver

Well, he admitted contact was early, but said, "I wouldn't have thrown a flag there either as the ball was thrown too short..." - IOW, his implication was that it wasn't catchable because of how short of the receiver. I think I agree with him, the contact would have qualified as PI, but I don't think the ball was catchable which it has to be under the rule.

Agreed. Need those third and long stops though. I’m concerned with guys handling the heat….97 first and foremost

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Rewind and watch the prior play where we hit the QB in the endzone.

Yeah, that was a legal hit. BTW, a Safety should have been called as the QB was not fully outside the Tackle Box (which they must be under the "throw away" rule). Even SEC Homer Danielson said he was fortunate that was not called a Safety.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

Definitely, I just figured he’d start his progression to the left because I thought it was a designed play to get the ball to Washington coming off the motion. It’s water under the bridge now, though

if that were true it would be the weirdest miss of a wide open receiver ever

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

My power and internet went out. What was the turnover before half and who caused it?
missed last five minutes of game time

fumble caused by Abdul Carter

I was referring to the jawing between Dixon and 71 From Auburn.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

The vibe in this thing is very good. Sean has a determination about him. You can almost feel it. The running game has been productive enough. The D has been tough. We went in there, subdued the crowd, and won the 1st half. One more half to go.

Yeah, PSU did not play there absolute best football and is still leading going into the Half.

Wasn’t it chop?

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

I see "SEC patches" on the Officials sleves - I think this crew is SEC (don't recognize Referee either).

 

[j-buff]

We need to hit Finley and make him hurt

 

[Phil's Rug]

Great job D

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Any questions?

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Terrible mark on long run.

 

[BudatPSU]

Great run

 

[LandoComando]

That freshman is special

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

I effing love Nick Singleton

 

[LandoComando]

Any questions?

Is beating Purdue still a quality win?

 

[Phil's Rug]

TD PSU!!!!!!

 

[psualt]

Happy for the OL. Great job so far

 

[j-buff]

That was impressive

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Not that I have to tell you guys, but Nick Singleton is good.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

I thought our loudmouth, know-it-all board savants told us Strange couldn't block? Did some pretty excellent blocking on TD - massive hole that Singleton scored on.

 

[GastonLion]

That was one of the best PSU TD drives I've ever seen. It's great to have a running game again!!

 

[BudatPSU]

That is how to start the second half. Stop their offense and then score in the first 3 minutes.

 

[okinburg1]

Wasn't someone saying something to the effect of "yeah, but Singleton won't be able to outrun the Auburn studs like he did against Ohio." Epic fail.

Does it matter?

Cannon was identified early on. He is B1G.

Winning any big ten game on the road is a quality win. You’re act is old DB

 

[wrm125]

AU has a legit run D and we’re moving it beautifully on the ground. Perhaps this will be a much more interesting season than most of us expected…

I think that the concept is sound but man Singleton is something special

[j-buff]

These Big Ten refs suck

 

[NittanyChris]

BS call!

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Shouldn't you be whinning and crying how Auburn should be beating us.... and how badly we suck..... and how this wouldn't be a quality win anyway?

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Auburn can't block our rush. They're going to need some ticki-tack help.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

Ellies is so excited to play, I love that

 

[GastonLion]

Our defense is playing great....FUMBLE!!!

 

[Phil's Rug]

 

[BudatPSU]

I don’t think that is a new revelation.
