Football GAMEDAY THREAD -- Penn State @ Maryland

[Obliviax]

Time to put this away

 

[AWS1022]

This is one of the more solid games in terms of tackling, especially KJ Winston. Carter has done a much better job wrapping up versus going for the big hit.

Carter is out.

 

[GregInPitt]

This Manny/D front is impressive.

Yep. Even with Robinson out he has enough great pass rushers to consistently get to the QB against a OL like MD's. But can he get to the QB next week? Hope Robinson is back at full strength......

 

[The Spin Meister]

Hilarious shot of the fans. Shirtless guys with T E R P S on the chests…..since they are losing they rearranged themselves to spell S T R E P! 😹Classic!😹

 

[bdgan]

Another positive: DDS seems to be coming on as a pass rusher.

I still think we need Chop back next week.

 

[Marylovesthelions]

Franklin tightens his stranglehold on Maryland HS recruiting today.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Singleton has not been playing well.
No idea why they call the plays they do.

He's definitely lost quickness/speed. There's also a lack of second level blocking.

What am I missing on fair catching these punts? That’s 2 this quarter that gave up a ton of yards!!

What even is his injury?

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Carter is out.

Who's 11?

 

[mcpat]

There’s Kaytron!

 

[LandoComando]

Singleton 7 carries 22 yards. 3.1/carry
Allen 10 carries for 69 yards. 6.9/carry

Can we please play the better back more often?
This drive should be 100% Allen

 

[LandoComando]

He's definitely lost quickness/speed. There's also a lack of second level blocking.

But he's not even getting to the second level

 

[LionDeNittany]

Singleton 7 carries 22 yards. 3.1/carry
Allen 8 carries for 49 yards. 6.1/carry

Can we please play the better back more often?
This drive should be 100% Allen

No. And on 3rd and 2 we will try to throw a fade.

 

[mcpat]

Nice finish by Cephas there

 

[PennState_one]

Does anyone else hate it when they bring these "hasn't happened yet" numbers up? I'm meaning the whole 3rd quarter no points thing. Lol

 

[LandoComando]

No. And on 3rd and 2 we will try to throw a fade.

lol I'd love if they commit to the run but I know better

 

[mcpat]

Cephas looking good

 

[NittanyChris]

Cephas is having a very nice game.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Nice finish by Cephas there

Yup, love the physicality

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

See? Not so hard!!!

 

[GregInPitt]

Yep, run up and catch the ball..........

 

[PSUcup1]

Great block by Cephas

 

[LionDeNittany]

Kaytron had four carries two were for first down on this drive.

Is this so hard?

 

[mcpat]

And Cephas blocking well on that completion to KLS. Why wasn’t Cephas playing as much until recently?

 

[AWS1022]

Who's 11?

Oops, sorry, I meant Jacobs.

 

[LandoComando]

And Cephas blocking well on that completion to KLS. Why wasn’t Cephas playing as much until recently?

All the drops?

 

[LemonEars]

Pickett was better than him in college. Neither are legit NFL QBs

Pickett played well during one of his years in college when the pitters played mostly cupcakes.

 

[scrivener]

Since u have to re-recruit your roster annually now thanks to NIL and the portal, let's hope JF et al have enough sway to keep Kaytron. He is a beautiful, throwback runner...tough as nails, loves contact, and seems engaged and mentally ready....I'd prefer him over Nick and it isn't close

 

[bdgan]

I'm surprised that MD DBs are playing back and giving Allar the underneath throws. OSU and IND played up in our face and it was effective.

 

[Marylovesthelions]

All the drops?

Did not know the playbook. Ran routes wrong, etc.

I don’t think Kaytron is going anywhere.

 

[LandoComando]

Still better. Trust me, not a fan of Pickett but we're giving Tua's little brother way too much credit here.

Unless he's injured, I'd think Singleton is the more likely RB to portal out.

 

[KCLion]

When he throws off his back foot . . .

 

[LandoComando]

This is when you go for a 4th down

 

[mcpat]

a couple of nice fourth down plays

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

a couple of nice fourth down plays

Kinda wish they'd save them for McCheatigan.

 

[AWS1022]

Unless he's injured, I'd think Singleton is the more likely RB to portal out.

I could see that …see him going to a conference without as much defense.

 

[Obliviax]

Man, you guys are tough to please.
