Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State versus Illinois

[scrivener]

JF doesn't coach a smart team. We had 7 guys in coverage and nobody ready for a flare out? It's kids stuff.

 

[LandoComando]

Official--BGSU lost at home to ODU 30-27

 

[AvgUser]

We definitely aren't but the defense is undoubtedly frustrating

He was responsible for IU. 🙄

 

[ryoder1]

Fair catch at our own 7 and closest defender is 10 yards away. C'mon!!

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

Led by Abdul

Thus is college football today

I didn’t realize the punter was actually old when I made that comment. Dude looked mid-40s, actually.

 

[GregInPitt]

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.

Maybe because Illinois would have stacked the line and Franklin wouldn't have opted to pass it for a big play....

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Elsewhere around the country... it's 21-0 Alabama over Georgia in the first quarter.

 

[LandoComando]

Last year people incorrectly stated Allar wasn't a leader--probably the same is true with the defense this year--the secondary isn't very strong and the play-calling is....concerning.

The O is coming together as a unit, but the D is nowhere close.

 

[NittanyChris]

They can’t stop our run.

Bama is killing them

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Beau pribula in for Penn State, he keeps it himself and gets seven.

 

[PurposePitch]

Singleton misses the hole and still gets 8 on 1st.

Warren would have gotten more

 

[SLion]

Perhaps hiring Allen was not the best. Totally familiar to entire BT. Bielema is smart coach. He may have ideas on his D tendencies.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Kaytron Allen just ran over an Illinois defender. The Illini have shown some super poor tackling today.

 

[JWB389]

They can’t stop our run game….obviously.

Third and long is the perfect situation versus PSU

Is Pry our DC?

 

[m.knox]

Well, IL is said to have a strong D. If that turns out to be the case moving forward, the PSU offense is pretty damn good.

 

[GregInPitt]

If PSU does get to the playoff we don't want on Bama's side of the bracket...

 

[Nostraduzzi]

Bama is killing them

Fire Kirby now!!! He’s turrible.

 

[LandoComando]

We have a great run game and Allar's a future starter in the NFL plus Warren is a beast
The question is still the WRs

 

[m.knox]

Kaytron Allen just ran over an Illinois defender. The Illini have shown some super poor tackling today.

How about Allen showed some power.

 

[YeOldeCup]

BG lost at home to previously winless ODU.

 

[SUPERTODD]

Now I would run and sneak and go for it on 4th if necessary. Keep the momentum going.

 

[LandoComando]

Fire Kirby now!!! He’s turrible.

He has a tough road this year and today won't help him but his past success keeps him safe even though Bama owns him--they do

 

[LandoComando]

Umm not a huge fan of that third down call but it worked so....

 

[jbenedict]

warren is a ball player

 

[GregInPitt]

3rd and 6 inside the 30 should a running down based on the way the offense has run the ball so far this game. Not an empty backfield play.

 

[Rhino80]

2 and 6 and we don't run the ball. Then miss fg. Brilliant!!!

 

[LandoComando]

Sigh

 

[JWB389]

Should have kept running the ball.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

They can’t stop our run.

Why tf are we passing so much????

 

[SUPERTODD]

Replace him. I have been in the kid’s corner. Put the kid from Tulsa there. You want to make the playoff? Every position needs to be elite and your kicker is not. Next man up.

 

[m.knox]

The kid from Liberty misses.... Damnit.

And PSU still doesn't have a reliable FG kicker.

 

[jbenedict]

This is Penn State football

 

[NittanyChris]

JFC. 40 yard FG should be a gimme.
