Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State versus Illinois

[psu00]

So we have this reallllyyy long clock-eating drive that ends with 0 points. That just plays right into Bielema’s hands.

Yep. 3 PSU drives in the entire first half and there’s 2 min to go. Just 3 possessions shortens the game and keeps Illinois in it.

Can’t be missing FGs leaving points on the field and then allow Illinois big plays to keep drives alive. Illinois has shortened the game and PSU is playing right into Bielema’s hands so far.

Another penalty! This defense is so hard to like...most are just a bunch of undisciplined idiots.

 

[LandoComando]

This is the least disciplined Penn State team I've ever seen

 

[GSPMax]

There ya go!

 

[LandoComando]

Worst part is we're going to run out the quarter and let them score

 

[scrivener]

Can't wait for JFs standard postgame jargon and the limp wristed media asking him how he is doing.

 

[SUPERTODD]

How are we getting homered at home by this conference?

 

[LandoComando]

Rojas needs to sit the rest of the game

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Always searching for explosive plays.

That punt on 4th and inches was a joke

 

[christoph]

Carter IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO PLAY THAT POSITION. Maybe the problem is he is not a good lb either

 

[LionDeNittany]

That was a ridiculously bad call. Neither guy saw the other. Terrible PF call.

 

[diontechristmas]

If that’s a penalty, we may as well take off the pads and play flags. I don’t care what the rule is, it’s a stupid rule.

 

[jmorovich]

If only the D is making dumb penalties time and time again that has to be coaching right???

 

[LandoComando]

Carter IS NOT BIG ENOUGH TO PLAY THAT POSITION. Maybe the problem is he is not a good lb either

Carter is the least of our problems

 

[j-buff]

We should just let them score already and hopefully we can answer

 

[LandoComando]

That was a ridiculously bad call. Neither guy saw the other. Terrible PF call.

It wasn't--Rojas can't just light up a receiver

 

[LionDeNittany]

If that’s a penalty, we may as well take off the pads and play flags. I don’t care what the rule is, it’s a stupid rule.

13 was looking forward and saw the guy last second in his sights and thought he was being blocked.

 

[scrivener]

2022 was a likeable team...Clifford and Tig Brown as the leader. Last year stunk and this season has a bunch of freelancers who care about style

 

[diontechristmas]

It wasn't--Rojas can't just light up a receiver

QB was over the LOS. They thought he hit him too hard

 

[LandoComando]

I don't understand how anyone doesn't understand how that was a penalty on Rojas

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Interested to see the seocnd half pass defense adjustments for Penn State because Illinois cant run the ball at all today outside the one 34-yard run by Feagin.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

I don't understand how anyone doesn't understand how that was a penalty on Rojas

It wasn't. If that's a penalty by rule. It's a terrible rule.

 

[LionDeNittany]

It wasn't--Rojas can't just light up a receiver

If Rojas wants to light up a receiver he would have turned towards him and pancaked him. Not brushed him off while trying to get to the guy running the ball.

You say some really stupid $hit sometimes.

 

[LandoComando]

Illinois literally just wanted 3 and ran the clock after the bad snap

 

[diontechristmas]

It wasn't--Rojas can't just light up a receiver

Yup, I guess you have to wait to be blocked to engage.

 

[LandoComando]

It wasn't. If that's a penalty by rule. It's a terrible rule.

You can hate the rule but it's the right call
Those are different arguments

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

3rd and long, our kryptonite. TD or penalty here…

 

[RickinDayton]

How are we getting homered at home by this conference?

Illinois's offensive line is getting away with holding.

 

[jmorovich]

3rd n goal from the 13. Illinois has Tom Allen right where they want him

 

[LandoComando]

If Rojas wants to light up a receiver he would have turned towards him and pancaked him. Not brushed him off while trying to get to the guy running the ball.

You say some really stupid $hit sometimes.

Again, I'm not--see the ref explaining the call--live I knew it was a penalty before there was a flag--that would always be called.

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

Oh thank god

 

[j-buff]

We being out coached when we’re on defense

 

[rmem]

I am getting impatient with Tom Allen. Defense making the same mistakes all year, and they are correctable mistakes.

 

[diontechristmas]

Easy Bert, he may have a heart attack.

 

[SLion]

It was a pathetic call on Rojas. The kid is trying to get to QB who is running for a first down. The WR got into lane as he was charging. He hit on shoulder to get by him and kid was not ready for hit. Is this football anymore? JFC

 

[LandoComando]

Blackledge is struggling tonight

 

[LandoComando]

I get why everyone hates the rules but both calls here were correct. The hit on Rojas and the intentional grounding

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

 

[jmorovich]

Amazing

That call was wrong.

To be a PF the defender would need to intentionally run into the other player.

No matter what they say on TV that was the wrong call.

The ref must have seen it as intentional. It wasn't. The defender didn't even see the receiver until he was upon him.

Not a personal foul because he didn't block him.
