How is having a player with his arms around a players neck and riding him piggy back not holding?

the refs are going to let them play

 

[j-buff]

I have a feeling this going to be a long night. These slow starts are going to be our downfall tonight

 

[NCLION]

Team wasn’t ready
Need to wake up quick

 

[LandoComando]

How do you adjust to a player riding your guy piggy back? Just curious.

lol--that was the issue

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Apparently piggy back riding is okay in the Big.

I mean that is beyond f'ing ridiculous bullshit that no flag was thrown there. This league's clown crews are a joke.

 

[SLion]

Big game James has em ready!!

Basically every opponent weak or strong marched down for a score on opening drive. Typical.

 

[LandoComando]

Has anyone considered that Oregon might be better than us?

 

[YYZ86]

They got pushed around. Not a good look.

Reminds me of the long night about a month ago.

Hopefully it isn't one of those games. Gotta score with them and not leave it on the refs hands.

 

[m.knox]

Has anyone considered that Oregon might be better than us?

No. No one. Only you... lol...

 

[LandoComando]

I like the quick pass to Nick to start

 

[Jerry]

About as bad a start as we could have feared.

On the O to move the ball here.

This ain't one of those teams we can afford to sleepwalk the 1st half against as happened on more than one occasion during the regular season.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

The lack of the holding call there was irrelevant--a flag may have been thrown if he got away from Tracey
We have way bigger problems right now than crying about the refs--that was the worst possible start
They controlled us in every aspect on that drive

Totally expected.

Oregon showed PSU what PSU has to do in playing ball control.

 

[LandoComando]

Already Gimmicks smh

 

[LandoComando]

Great throw by Drew

 

[Onionbelly]

That was good.

 

[Phil's Rug]

Singleton breaking one off

 

[Onionbelly]

Liam has to catch that!

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Luke Reynolds is on the field early for Penn State here. Nittany Lions continue to show a ton of trust in the true freshman TE.

 

[LandoComando]

Liam has to make that catch--good defense but that hurt us
I'll take the 3 but gotta finish drives

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Solid first drive for Penn State stalls out but Ryan Barker gets a 33-yard field goal to make it a 7-3 game. 7:30 left in the first quarter.

 

[PennState_one]

Need a stop or hold them to 3 here at the most imo...

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

So far these are all plays that I would have called, but I still want to see more than one tight end on the field at a time. We need size mismatches instead of expecting wide receivers to beat their defensive backs.

AK, please use our strengths. You've got three really good tight ends and no dominant wide receivers.

 

[Onionbelly]

Just rewatched it...it was a harder catch than I initially thought. But he still has to catch that.

Singleton is such a great kicker….

 

[RickinDayton]

Welp, same ol 1st drive defense. Ah. Cmon offense.

Good answer. Confidence builder. Defense needs to prevent Oregon in the 2nd possession. They are running right @ Carter .

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Singleton is such a great kicker….

Whoops typing too fast.

 

[j-buff]

Our recievers need to step up tonight not good start for Clifford that should have been a catch

 

[scrivener]

Two consistent, all year issues...slow starts on defense and not finishing drives with TDs.

 

[lazydave841]

Clifford has about 20 targets all year and somehow we run him into triple coverage. Still, Allar got it in there. Killed the drive.

More wide zone. And need a shot deep. 3 DBs standing 8-12 deep staring all drive.

 

[LandoComando]

Just rewatched it...it was a harder catch than I initially thought. But he still has to catch that.

It wasn't easy but Allar threw that perfectly--in these games those plays can be the difference between winning and losing
Allar and Nick looked good so some positives--we'll see if the D responds

 

[RickinDayton]

Good answer. Confidence builder. Defense needs to prevent Oregon in the 2nd possession. They are running right @ Carter .

There must have been six missed tackles.

 

[LandoComando]

Real worried about the defense

 

[ryoder1]

Our run defense his horrible right now.

 

[mcpat]

Optimistic we may have running lanes on O. But D has to do better than this.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Tony Rojas looked completely lost on that play. Really surprised on his lack of development this year.

 

[j-buff]

Our defense sucks

 

[scrivener]

This is where the lack of dudes up front is a problem...and missing Ford to eat up space. Our front 4 is just ok.

 

[LandoComando]

Tony Rojas looked completely lost on that play. Really surprised on his lack of development this year.

All year--just absolutely lost all year
He needs to sit
