Football GAME THREAD: Penn State vs. Michigan State

[Jerry]

OMG. Gimme a break.

 

[slykens]

Wasted possession. Fortunately get the ball to start the second half.

 

[PSUcup1]

How bad is Pinnegar that Stoudt is still kicking FGs. He’s terrible

 

[HartfordLlion]

F'N kickers

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

I believe the thinking with the timeout was limiting Michigan’s State’s chances with the ball after the kick. Now, missing it obviously makes it look pretty bad and as if Franklin just iced his kicker, which in a way he did.

 

[Lion Lineage]

Stout is terrible too. Amazing that they don’t have a kicker.

 

[Paguy35]

I knew it.... Sitting on my couch I said he misses this and boom there it was...

Stop the BS. Just another key missed FG by Stout. Didn’t have a damn thing to do with Franklin calling a YO. My god.

 

[franklinman]

Never ever ice your own kicker, bad idea.

 

[rag195]

And we iced our FG kicker 98

Not defending the missed field goal by Stout. Has to make those kicks, has been a rough spot all year.

 

[RGWhirly]

So what is the reason he missed many other FGs this season? Stop with the BS.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

I think if Cliff gets time he is going to shred them the whole 2nd half, they can't cover everyone, sometimes they can't cover anyone

How does calling a timeout harm Michigan State next possession?

 

[Sooner Lion]

Franklin has to be worth 7-10 points a game. For the opposition.

 

[Jerry]

Halftime thought: It could be worse...and was early in the game.

That said, if we don't win, I'm sorry, there are no excuses. Not weather. Not injuries. Not bad luck. Not missed kicks.

Still, I stick to my prediction above in the thread after we went down 14-0: in the end we get the W.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

They ran the play clock all the way down before calling the timeout.

My late father used to say you just can’t fix stupid. I think he had you in mind.

 

[PennSt8er]

halftime adjustments: more QB runs

 

[danvillenit]

Stopped in to see if the armchair expert insanity was as usual. It is. Blaming a missed FG on Franklin. Lol

i think people are frustrated that it should have been a td, but for the 2nd down idiotic play call

 

[BW Lion]

Would a change of QB be the necessary element for PSU to win?

CV is from Canada and is used to playing in this white precipitation, but Yurcich might be a warm weather OC🤷‍♂️

 

[PSUEngineer89]

Fair enough. I suppose the argument is that if you snap it with 1 second left, the other team "knows" when to fire off the ball.

 

[franklinman]

Easy, call the TO before the kicker takes the field, or on the way out.

It didn't get cold at OkState??

 

[TheGLOV]

TD!!!!

 

[BudatPSU]

What is with Stout today?

 

[bvillebaron]

My late father used to say you just can’t fix stupid. I think he had you in mind.

So I guess it was Franklin’s fault he missed the PAT too. This is pathetic.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Well that just happened.

 

[TheGLOV]

And we miss the extra point.

UGH!

I honestly think CJG sticks with players way too long.

Loyalty is one thing but stubbornness is quite the other.

 

[LionRange]

He has to be the worst short yardage kicker I’ve ever seen

 

[RGWhirly]

Great job on the pick six CJF! That is how it works right? Blame for bad plays, credit for good play. Oh wait, not with some of you jackass*s

 

[lockhavenlion3]

is it possible that pinegar is hurt or they're trying to preserve a rs year? let's face it, whether we win this game or not, doesn't mean much at this point.

 

[HartfordLlion]

How many points is Stout going to F'k up???

 

[Paguy35]

Fields just bounced off Thorne like nothing there on that 4th down play.

 

[Norm Petersin]

These no calls for holding are sad

 

[Paguy35]

There's one

 

[fkkkjm]

These no calls for holding are sad

Michigan state has about 30 yards on penalties on this drive and they are still going to score a TD

 

[LionRange]

I’ll be pleasantly shocked if they don’t score a td

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

what a ****ing awful call
