Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State Football opens season vs. Purdue

It was not shoulder to shoulder. Absolutely was not. I think you're being a prick trying to ague otherwise when you know better. The bias here is insane.
apparently you are watching a different game than everyone else. The initial contact was defender forearm to receiver shoulder.
Carry on
I guess the NFL is infatuated, but Joey porter is nothing but a liability for years now.
I’m not sure he really is. Lots of hype and potential but how often have we seen the dropped interceptions and repeated pass interference calls on him?
Once again the D needed to buckle down and get the ball back to try and put the game away. Instead, they allow the other team to go right down the field and give up a TD to get them back into the game.

I'm not at all--you guys refuse to accept it. It's honestly all about making excuses. It's pathetic. The call was obvious. The call was correct. If we lose that call had no impact on the game. Deal with it and move on. I don't have to blindly follow the masses when they're wrong.
I assure you I know more about football than the majority of the people here
Sean Clifford leaves Penn State's season opener vs Purdue
Penn State starting quarterback Sean Clifford has left Penn State's season opener against Purdue.
Don't know if Sean is hurt, but I like the move. This is the way to develop players. If they can play, play them. You put your best on the field. If Sean is a half step slow, then that goes into the comparison.
You're dead f'ing wrong - the Purdue player reacting as if it's a live ball and moving into defender's path to pick it up and advance it (with no whistle blown) HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH THE CALL. The Purdue player is acting as a "runner", not a receiver when attempting to recover, and advance, a live ball from the ground - a runner is not protected by the "defenseless receiver" rule (i.e., once the receiver makes it clear that he is attempting to recover a live ball, he is no longer a receiver and therefore cannot be protected by the "defenseless receiver" rule. And the Purdue player absolutely presented himself to the defender as a runner attempting to pick up, and advance, a live ball. Judgement call but benefit of the doubt should have gone to defender given the Purdue player's actions after ball went to ground.
That looked really ugly live and that's really the only play you can look at think of potentially being the issue.
Sutherland has been at Penn state for 15 years and has done nothing.
Drew Allar passes up a first down opportunity on the ground but it was a promising first drive for him.
Ooof.... Penn State's punt team knocks the ball into the endzone after a beautiful punt by Barney Amour.
Not wrong--it doesn't matter the circumstances. It is based simple on the rule. You're overthinking it. How you're describing it is how the rule SHOULD be but that's not how it is. We agree it SHOULDN'T be a penalty but given the rule it is. This isn't complicated.
Once again the basic fundamentals are not there for a psu team
Receivers have done PSU's QBs no favors today - dropped balls all over the place.
Ooh, one game against a bad team…the hell with all the practices and everything else that’s happened since then.
Besides the lack of physicality I'd say lack of fundamentals is the second thing this team has lacked recently.
