After today I can’t see Ohio St making the playoff. If it was a close game maybe but they got beat bad today.
Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State set to take on Michigan State
- Thread starter Dylan Callaghan-Croley
- Start date
Won't matter if Clemson and USC or TCU lose unless you think a 2-loss Bama jumps them
Michigan State gets on the board right before the half with an impressive 51-yard field goal. Nittany Lions will go to half up 14-3 but leave points on the board with Jake Pinegar missing two field goat attempts.
Really aggravating that we miss two easy FG attempts and they hit a 51 yarder easily. I thought Pinegar had turned a corner but he’s absolutely putrid.
I believe per NCAA rules, spikes cannot occur with three seconds or less left on the clock. Therefore, Michigan State shouldn't have been allowed to attempt the 51-yard field goal.
What were we doing on that last drive in the red zone? three straight runs. It looks like we are afraid to throw to the receivers
Is Sahaydak the FG kicker next yr? That's another area that has to be championship level, ala Moody at Michigan who is nearly automatic...just can't have a shaky kicking game and expect long term results for the most part.
Not only is PSU’s field goal kicker lousy, but how often does an opposing kicker come into Beaver Stadium and kick like Adam Vinatieri?
I was disappointed in that last defensive series in that Franklin did not call time out on 4th and 1. Looked like we were not ready on the defensive line for a short yardage play.
Also noticed that on similar short yardage plays our DL moves a little slow compared to the OL.

I’m going to guess Georgia, Michigan, TCU, USC, LSU, and likely Alabama depending on what beating they put on Auburn. I’d say it’s 60/40 to 70/30 for Bama to jump OSU (obviously depending on Bama’s final score- currently 42-21).
I don't see how Alabama jumps them--that's a very far fall from #2. Giving up 21 points to Auburn is a ton.
Assuming no upsets I'm saying Georgia, Michigan, TCU, USC, Ohio State, LSU, Alabama, Tennessee, Oregon, Penn State...
I do think if it was close Ohio State would have been 4 on Tuesday but they let it get out of hand.
Running game and TFLs have been very good this year and has improved greatly from 2021. Meanwhile, the pass game and special teams have declined and must get better in 2023. Can't waste easy FGs. And, our WR room needs a big time step up to stretch the field. I'm surprised how well the Running game has done despite zero deep passing game this yr.
Why are our guys slipping all over the place? You think they would have the correct cleats on at this point.
ok, 3rd qtr now....14-3, offense still struggling against a team that is 5-6...lost to indiana
But, I'm patient. I can wait until mid 3rd and 4th qtr
Just a stupid game and game plan. I thought we learned something over the last 3 weeks, but this offense just plain sucks to watch.
Yea, it's ridiculous how many bodies they're putting at the LOS..... why we refuse to throw is pretty baffling.
I applaud JF for his loyalty to older guys and those especially who have battled, ala Effner. But, next yr, he simply can't be the starting RT if u want to be where Michigan is. Hopefully I'm wrong, but just isn't big enough or talented enough to be a regular starter. Depth yes...no question. But, not a starter
It’s a drop of 5 spots which is generally what tends to happen after losses. They got beat bad….at home… with everything on the line. I may be wrong but I don’t see the committee giving them the benefit of the doubt after that loss.
anybody can win on "any given day" ..we just recovered a fumble on the msu 17.let's see if we can get it in
