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

[PAgeologist]

We need a pass rush

No kidding. I swear I saw OConnell get an Uber Eats delivery. Way too much time back there

 

[jbenedict]

All looks so familiar.

 

[PSU Soupy]

Porter with the drop hurt, as would have set us up well.

 

[Obliviax]

Dropped INT was at least a six point swing

 

[Jerry]

OK, third series, 6th-year QB, how about a little imagination on offense, mix it up, drive the ball. If not, we're all going to be having unpleasant flashbacks from last year.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

For the formality of it; Purdue takes a 3-0 lead on a Mitchell Fineran 36-yard field goal.

 

[LandoComando]

Hate to say it. This team is staring straight down the barrell of another 6 loss season.

We knew before tonight this was probably a 7 win team

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Disagree on the lack of a pass rush, pass rush has been good for the most part but you're dealing with an experienced six-year quarterback whose known for getting the ball out quick.

 

[PAgeologist]

JPJ a continuing question mark.

But he is the best question mark we have ever had suit up

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Notably, Manny Diaz is rotating a ton of guys on defense already.

Like every other QB at Purdue. Lots of yards few points.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Kaytron Allen is in at running back now.

 

[BBG65]

Purdue is thought to be a very weak defensive team. What does that say about our offense?

 

[Obliviax]

First down pass

 

[NCLION]

Three drops

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Kaytron Allen's first carry is a good one, nice burst through the hole. Picks up 9 yards.

 

[wilbury]

Another drop by clifford

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Kaytron Allen showing really nice fluid hips on his third-down run .

 

[Obliviax]

Kaytron Allen showing really nice fluid hips on his third-down run .

Had some acceleration

 

[Obliviax]

Two drops this drive

 

[psualt]

Horrible hands

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

jesus there were two guys holding on Purdue's defense

 

[LandoComando]

Allen looks good--all the back have honestly
The offense still looks like garbage though--these WRs have been awful. Can't blame Clifford.

 

[Obliviax]

That drop cost us at least aFG attempt

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Sean Clifford getting killed by drops so far in this game. Believe that's now three. Perfect throw from Clifford too.

 

[MikeP]

Can’t blame Clifford for drops.

 

[wilbury]

And another drop by clifford

 

[scrivener]

Two Lambert Smith drops and a missed pick six by JPJ...same team so far.

 

[83772]

#1 WR KLS CAN’T CATCH..

 

[YeOldeCup]

I'm seeing the familiar lack of energy and enthusiasm. I realize it's the first game, but there's no crispness and we've been repeatedly at the end of the play clock.

 

[McCloudersportLion]

Give it to #10 they will see it coming and still won't be able to wrangle him

 

[Jerry]

Signs of life on offense, but the dropped balls are killing us. Interesting call coming up on 4th down.

 

[bcspsu]

Two Lambert Smith drops and a missed pick six by JPJ...same team so far.

That’s what you get when you may have good athletes but not particularly good football players. That’s what this team has too many.

 

[Coultr77]

Kaytron Allen showing really nice fluid hips on his third-down run .

Please don’t say that ever again

 

[Obliviax]

If our team could catch the ball will be up by six or 10 by now

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

get these jitters out and win going away, jeez its only the first quarter

 

[tlbakernc]

A bit surprised by the amount of passes being dropped by the wide receivers

 

[Obliviax]

Not a single quarterback run in the whole first quarter

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

END OF ONE:

Purdue 3 - Penn State 0

Purude with 102 total yards to Penn State's 81

 

[BudatPSU]

If our team could catch the ball will be up by six or 10 by now

If… dog… rabbit.
