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

[sunshinedynomite]

Allar looks banged up

 

[b&w1987]

This is actually a good test for the offense. They are running all kinds of defenses. Run blitz packages etc.

Hey wake up call. Stop reading your press clippings and get to work if you want to win the Big 10.

I don't mind attempting that field goal there; if you think Felkins has the leg, you could make it a three-score game. Unfortunately, the block does change momentum.

 

[PSUPride1]

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.

Franklin needs to reign this trash talking and some of the antics. It's way past time.

 

[GregInPitt]

Klatt correct on the late, low hit on the UI QB. But what about all the missed calls on UI????

 

[SLion]

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.

I don't really care about long runs. If we are getting 5-6 yards per play then running game is doing fine. We are getting negative yards or 1-3 yards. That is problem.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Elsewhere... how bad is Iowa State?

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

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

He barely did anything

But you need explosive plays. Otherwise you're trying to sustain long drives every time and that's not ever going to work especially against good teams.

So far through this early season...Kalen Doesn't look anywhere close to a first rounder.

 

[LandoComando]

He barely did anything

You can't do anything. The refs established early they weren't tolerating it.

 

[Onionbelly]

Horrible!

 

[PSUcup1]

Wow. That was weak.

 

[PennSt8er]

fukc

 

[b&w1987]

Oh no … not the trick screen pass!!! Gets us every time.

 

[j-buff]

This is embarrassing

 

[mcpat]

Geez their RB runs through and over our guys?

 

[Onionbelly]

Way to go JF. Poor penalty, poor decision and then poor defense

 

[sunshinedynomite]

this is awful

 

[b&w1987]

Illinois now believes they can win.

dumb ass penalty..go from 3rd and 2 to 3rd and 17..momentum shifts.

 

[BudatPSU]

This is not a number 7 ranked team.

 

[NCLION]

Once again we are a soft team
A hallmark of the Franklin era

 

[PSUcup1]

Nice return Nick

 

[Onionbelly]

This game could be over already had we not had a silly penalty. Then compound it with a bad decision to kick fg.

 

[bdgan]

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

You got your wish

 

[lazydave841]

Ugly defensive drive there. Woof.

 

[LemonEars]

This team isn’t going to beat Ohio State or Michigan. The lines aren’t good enough.

 

[LandoComando]

Illinois now believes they can win.

No they don't nor can they

 

[PaoliLion]

This is not a number 7 ranked team.

Outside of the turnovers, Illinois is playing better

 

[fastlax16]

Need to take advantage of the half and score these next two drives

 

[tlbakernc]

Looks like Allar’s hand is ok

 

[YeOldeCup]

This is the kind of game that keeps PSU in the 2nd tier.

 

[LandoComando]

You're all still unnecessarily worried

 

[PSUcup1]

For the love of Christ take Wallace out

 

[PennState_one]

Only need a W. Gotta get as much on tape as possible before the big boys.

 

[okinburg1]

This OLine really doesn't look good

 

[tlbakernc]

We are killing ourselves!

 

[Onionbelly]

The O-line has to be better.

 

[scrivener]

Every single throw drew gets hit, it's on the right side of the offensive line. An annual happening.
