Football GAMEDAY THREAD: No. 11 Penn State vs. Northwestern

[YeOldeCup]

It accounts for ending drives genius. We've only punted 3 times.

I guess NW turnovers don't end their drives. Got it.

z

yeah I was saying that too, horrible spot

Yep, looked way too generous.

 

[BudatPSU]

and so is Fitzgerald

It looks like he has been eating pretty good for the past year, although not as much as the Illinois coach.

 

[ryoder1]

Hold on to the effing ball!!!!

 

[ryoder1]

Bama now in a dogfight but they will weasel it out per usual.

[BBHorn86]

If we can't beat Northwestern even with this gameplan this year we aren't contending anyway. We don't have Ohio State's talent either but, yes, you're right that Day's a better coach

Ohio State and Michigan are simply at a different level. We won't get within three scores of either team. Hopefully we get a win today but we are pretenders not contenders.

 

[j-buff]

We need to be a little more agressive on offense

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Awful awful spot on that third down play. Back was down at the three

Yes, he was. He hit down at 3, then jumped forward to 1. They marked him at the 1. Then there QB is jumping up and down crying that he scored when replay shows he was absolutely down at half yard line before lamely rolling on the ground into endzone vehemently claiming he scored.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Alabama only winning 28-23 after leading 28-0 at one point.

 

[jjw165]

2 bad throws in a row. Missed a TD and a first down.

 

[j-buff]

Clifford has to make that throw

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Figure out a way to get off the field? Like wait for the inconsistent QB to miss a friggin wide open receiver?

 

[ryoder1]

Our offense is just putrid now. Clifford not getting it done to seal the W.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

How can Cliff miss wide-open Tinsley and Washington that badly? He is so frustrating sometimes.

I’ll take that bet on Michigan. They’ve played no one. That game will be tight - I expect us to not have our heads up our ass for that game

 

[fastlax16]

How many times are we going to jump offsides. Jesus Christ.

 

[ryoder1]

These offsides!

 

[Nittany18]

You’re right. We struggle at Iowa and Michigan made it look easy. We don’t scare anyone.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

if that moron from NW wasn't in the neutral zone then neither are the PSU defenders

 

[Chickenman Testa]

How many times are we going to jump offsides. Jesus Christ.

One of the most frustrating games in a long time. Thank god NW is toothless

 

[GregInPitt]

I was going to post how Clifford is not over throwing the deep balls like he did consistently last year. But then he overthrew Tinsley by 10 yards.......

 

[jjw165]

Back to back batted balls 🏈. Huge.

 

[ryoder1]

Don't count on it. Our heads are so far up our ass at this point not sure we can find it.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

I know this makes me a bit of a hypocrite because I was laughing about wide receivers wanting flags but does anyone think that NW never held today?

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Did you see J'Ayir Brown being held from behind on that 4th Down play - no flag! Thankfully, it was batted down.

 

[okinburg1]

Gouge my GD eyes out of my head - the deep, slow-@ss mesh point run shows up. Thought that was finally dead

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

Back to back batted balls 🏈. Huge.

and painful

 

[NCLION]

We are. Dumb

 

[jjw165]

Turnover on downs inside NW territory and could not finish them off with a FG or TD. This is not good enough football against a weak team.

 

[BBHorn86]

You have got to be kidding me! We have the opportunity to put this game away and we get -1 yard and leave plenty of time on the clock. How about throwing on first down or at least put Clifford under center and let the running back build up speed and use their vision. For the love of God this team is soooooooooooooo Frustrating!!

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Wouldn't putting the QB under center be an idea for a rainy day?

 

[ryoder1]

We just have spiraled into an abyss on offense because of the fumbles or Patty's D has made great adjustments or both but whatever it is their D is totally dominating us. How do we ever have a shot against scUM with this clown show.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

what they are doing to Chop might actually be classified as a crime in a lot of places

Yep, notice NW hasn't been afraid to air it out on early downs in the 2nd half which has helped them. But, according to some, the bad weather wasn't in the game plan

 

[ryoder1]

Punt it. We will go 3 and out while burning 12 seconds.

 

[BBHorn86]

Unbelievable! They deserve to lose today.

 

[LandoComando]

Okay apparently none of our back should be allowed to play against Michigan

 

[YeOldeCup]

Fundamentals. Two-hands-on-the-ball.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Another insanely obvious non-called hold on 1st down.
