Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State versus Illinois

[SR108]

That was a bad spot. Should be first down.

240 lb Qb, run a sneak

 

[PurposePitch]

Tush push

 

[SUPERTODD]

The quarter ending was huge. James makes a terrible call to go for it otherwise. We all know it.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Punt? What the ****?

 

[PurposePitch]

Punt = dumb

Our O-line is destroying them.

 

[ryoder1]

Not sure why we didn't go for it the way we have run the ball. And just like that Illinois gets a first down.

 

[PurposePitch]

Now cover the freaking slants.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Old Franklin is back

 

[scrivener]

I think we all got too excited about our additions to the secondary via the portal. They just get eaten up.

 

[LandoComando]

The run defense is at least solid

 

[YeOldeCup]

Our 'man coverage' isn't.

 

[PurposePitch]

Or don’t.

 

[BudatPSU]

Good hit

 

[SR108]

Our O-line is destroying them.

They can’t run, need to tighten up pass defense and eliminate penalties.

 

[NittanyChris]

Kobe King should NOT be pulled for Elsdon unless there are broken bones.

What's that have to do with getting an easy 4th and 1?

 

[LandoComando]

ODU scores to go up on BGSU with 24 seconds left--smh

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Kobe King should NOT be pulled for Elsdon unless there are broken bones.

JF loves Elsdon

 

[SUPERTODD]

Our O-line is destroying them.

Why take a chance? We are better than this team. Why give them life in a tough environment?

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Timeouts caused by crowd noise: 1
False starts caused by crowd noise: 1

 

[LandoComando]

Bama also up 2 scores on UGa--yikes

 

[m.knox]

Kobe King should NOT be pulled for Elsdon unless there are broken bones.

Fantastic stop there. A couple more of those should dispirit the QB a little.

 

[LandoComando]

Why take a chance? We are better than this team. Why give them life in a tough environment?

I agree with you--if I was the HC I would have punted--it just seems the opposite of everything JF has said he believes

 

[LandoComando]

That can't happen

 

[scrivener]

Lol this D is a joke.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Why take a chance? We are better than this team. Why give them life in a tough environment?

Bc it's 99% that you get it

 

[SUPERTODD]

See what I mean? We

Why take a chance? We are better than this team. Why give them life in a tough environment?

See what I mean? We are poorly disciplined enough. We need to play tight and not shoot oursevles in the foot.

 

[jmorovich]

Can we call for a Tom Allen firing already?? Too soon??

 

[AvgUser]

Jesus

Third and long is the perfect situation versus PSU

 

[slykens]

Defense lacks the edge it has had the last few years. Almost like they need a half to settle in.

 

[ryoder1]

We simply cannot get off the field on 3rd down. Ridiculous.

Here we go just where they want us 3rd and 10.

 

[PurposePitch]

3 was held 3 different ways on 1 play on that floater pass.

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

It hasn’t mattered who the defensive coordinator has been the last 15 years, or how good the defense is. If it’s 3rd and long, we give it up.

 

[LandoComando]

Can we call for a Tom Allen firing already?? Too soon??

We definitely aren't but the defense is undoubtedly frustrating

 

[PurposePitch]

Now friggin bring the house

 

[YeOldeCup]

There is no leader on this defense. A collection of individuals playing for themselves.

 

[PurposePitch]

There ya go. Defensive play calling is easy.

 

[PurposePitch]

Somebody’s dad came out to punt for Illinois

 

[GregInPitt]

The dreaded early fair catch.... Should have had a 5+ yard return.
