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

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Can we stop running every 1st down?

 

[LandoComando]

The PSU broadcast is the only way I follow every game we play.

We have a real good broadcast team.

They're not good but to each their own

 

[LandoComando]

Slow start with many mistakes in their first road game - what you want to see is improvement, and we are starting to see it

Which is why we should be happy our first road game is a layup

 

[AWS1022]

Can we stop running every 1st down?

Or at least run wide.

 

[trotjx]

Strength and conditioning???? No explosiveness, no push.

 

[SLion]

Now this is a legit concern with the run game.

Wake up call. IL has a very good DL. You will see three more that are better.

 

[GregInPitt]

In other action, Wisky is all tied up with Georgia Southern, 7-7....

Who?????

 

[LandoComando]

Wake up call. IL has a very good DL. You will see three more that are better.

We didn't break long run against Delaware or WVU. And we really need to stop overselling bad teams we beat. Watch some of the Kansas Illinois game.

 

[PSUcup1]

These refs are ridiculous with the unsportsmanlike calls. Come on

 

[tlbakernc]

Stupid mental mistakes by PSU!

Who?????

Fickell is trying to change things there and it's not going well. See them losing to Washington State

Refs are outrageous

Stop acting like idiots and you won't get a penalty. They've been consistent and set a standard.

 

[Onionbelly]

Geez, I thought we were punting.

 

[fastlax16]

That was a weak ass penalty

 

[NCLION]

Why not punt there?
total momentum swing

 

[okinburg1]

77 getting beaten like a rented mule

 

[LandoComando]

Geez, I thought we were punting.

We should have given our defense and their offense

 

[Onionbelly]

That penalty totally took points off the board.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

These refs are ridiculous with the unsportsmanlike calls. Come on

BULLSHIT CALL

 

[PennSt8er]

uggh

 

[NittanyChris]

Really dumb move by KLS. Gotta keep your cool.

 

[scrivener]

The right side of the offensive line collapsed again on that third down.

 

[Little J]

Cheap personal foul. Crybaby Illinois

 

[GSL]

Perfect example of having a piss poor head coach. Franklin is a fraud.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Another joke of a Personal Foul call by the Homers - just a ridiculous call that changes a 3rd-&-2 into a 3rd-&-17. Just an absurdly obvious homer call.

 

[lazydave841]

KLS should know better. Although that was a nothing shove.

FG blocked. Meh. We need a good tough game.

 

[tlbakernc]

Refs are outrageous

When I saw that on replay I was surprised ref’s flagged that. First I thought it was worse. He barely pushed the guy…

 

[AWS1022]

Cheap personal foul. Crybaby Illinois

Yeah, they didn’t call it until the Illinois players told them to.

 

[DELion]

Announcer….Bielema jolly followed up by growing up on a pig farm. Now that is funny. Just look at the guy.

#1 needs better self discipline. no reason to do that on the road.

 

[j-buff]

Why kick a 52 yarder. The defense is starting to play well and Illinois is turning it over. We should have punted

 

[ryoder1]

#4 killing us last two plays. Another QB pressure (hopefully Allar okay) then FG block (although trajectory way too low).

 

[Onionbelly]

In great position to get at least 3 point and potentially 7 and instead dumb (and weak) penalty, no points and give IL the ball in good field position.

 

[sunshinedynomite]

KLS keeps his cool it’s 20-0. Now it will be 13-7.

Stupid

Stupid trying to kick a 52 yard FG

 

[AWS1022]

Perfect example of having a piss poor head coach. Franklin is a fraud.

Then all coaches must be piss poor.

 

[Onionbelly]

JF always makes poor decisions when to kick/punt/go for it.

 

[YeOldeCup]

Personal fouls should result in a 1 mile run in full pads after practice for two weeks.

 

[Westcoast24]

Another joke of a Personal Foul call by the Homers - just a ridiculous call that changes a 3rd-&-2 into a 3rd-&-17. Just an absurdly obvious homer call.

This is the bushwood we have been waiting for all season

They already did didn't they?
