Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State defeats Illinois, 30-13

[NittanyChris]

Nice tackle, Kobe!

 

[RickinDayton]

Let's hope 11 gets his head in the game

Yeah. Athletic, but still learning. Has to learn to play the position ad depend less on his athleticism.

 

[scrivener]

Penn State's defense, the last couple of years, has more almost tackles for loss than any team I've ever seen. It's like Carter, and all these guys always miss On the first attempt to tackle, it's mind blowing.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Altmyer and Illinois really getting the ball out quickly today. One of the only ways to beat this Penn State defense.

 

[PSUcup1]

Won’t see a more clear hold than that.

Ridiculous

 

[sunshinedynomite]

Sticks with the pick!

 

[PSUcup1]

Great stand by the D. Huge pick

 

[Onionbelly]

That's what I want to see!

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Back-to-back drives with turnovers for the Penn State defense. Abdul Carter picks it off this time.

 

[NittanyChris]

ABDUUUUUUUUL!!!!

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State's linebackers making the difference early on...

Kobe King: 4 tackles, 0.5 TFL
Dominic DeLuca: 2 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 FF
Abdul Carter: 1 tackle, 1 INT

 

[GregInPitt]

Love Diaz in charge of the D !!

Pay the man and keep him the next 20 years !!

 

[m.knox]

Gotta capitalize on those turnovers..

Run D has to stiffen up.

 

[bdgan]

11 on def needs to stop going for highlight play and make some tackles

They always go for highlight plays.

 

[NCLION]

Love Diaz in charge of the D !!

Pay the man and keep him the next 20 years !!

If he agrees to teach fundamentals of tackling

 

[LandoComando]

Illinois has zero chance in this game unless our offense and ST give them points.

 

[scrivener]

Time for a TD....capitalizing turnovers on the road with 7 is what great teams need to do.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Why is it always play calling? How about execute and succeed?

Yea that play call for a TD right in Allen's hands that he dropped was horrendous.... LMAO.

 

[BudatPSU]

Why does Bret Bielema only know how to call plays against Penn State. Drives me crazy.off

I have not had any respect for him since his intentional multiple offside on a kickoff just to take advantage of a rule change that allowed him to run time off the clock.
He should have been penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct.
I have noticed that he did not miss many meals over the last year.

 

[SLion]

Love Diaz in charge of the D !!

Pay the man and keep him the next 20 years !!

Nice but realistically we won't get easier INT than that one. QB did not see him at all

 

[lazydave841]

Here is where this defense can shine. Teams playing straight up football vs avoiding errors.

Illinois forced into 2 already.

Let's punch this one in.

 

[fastlax16]

O-line needs to find their balls

 

[NCLION]

Online stinks
plain stinks

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

Offensive line is Swiss cheese like usual

 

[tlbakernc]

Offensive line is horrible

 

[rrdd2021]

Illinois has zero chance in this game unless our offense and ST give them points.

Agree. Solid D by Illinois but their offense sucks. Watched a couple of their games this year and their offense basically puts their defense in bad positions

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Wormley being bullied out there today.

 

[GregInPitt]

Not on Allar. The WR's need to get some separation.

 

[PSUcup1]

Oh well. O line still sucks

 

[christoph]

We are not no7 with these lines.

 

[trotjx]

O and D lines are not that good

 

[j-buff]

The offensive line is terrible so far

 

[SLion]

Best OL in years. Sure.

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

Well we found our field goal kicker.

 

[tlbakernc]

Looks like we’ve found our starting field goal kicker.

 

[NittanyChris]

Lame offensive series but a very solid no doubter FG from Felkins. At least there’s that.

 

[scrivener]

We forced two turnovers and get six points... that's not what championship teams do

 

[BudatPSU]

Caedan Wallace being bullied out there today.

EVERYDAY, EVERY PLAY. For years now.

 

[bdgan]

OL has carved out -2 yds so far

 

[lazydave841]

Going to have to adjust to that defensive front. 5 hard and straight man. Shew. Offense looked weak right there.
