Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State versus Washington

[LandoComando]

Too gimmicky

 

[PurposePitch]

Wow. Perfect tackle

Actually a bit high on replay …. Could be targeting

 

[PennState_one]

Was that not targeting?

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

That's textbook targeting by rule.

 

[bono47]

Targeting

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

No Targetting?? He just led with the crown of his helmet into runners facemask

 

[SUPERTODD]

That would suck for that kid. It was a great tackle. Not sure you can teach it any better.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

That would suck for that kid. It was a great tackle. Not sure you can teach it any better.

I also agree with this. While by rule, I think its targeting it was just a great hit as well

 

[j-buff]

That has to be a targeting call

 

[LandoComando]

That would suck for that kid. It was a great tackle. Not sure you can teach it any better.

Agreed--the rule needs tweaked for sure--right call but horrible rule

 

[PurposePitch]

That's textbook targeting by rule.

Similar call earlier today in the Meatchicken game. Should be targeting.

 

[psrurock]

After the announcers said perfect textbook tackle. I'm like really perfect textbook targeting, lead and lower the helmet into the facemask!

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

That has always been illegal - before they came up with all their complicated "Targetting" rules, this was a rule known as "Spearing" - a Personal Foul and dirtiest of dirty hits. Always been illegal to use crown of helmet as a weapon.

I’m not asking for commercials in between timeouts but this broadcast has to be the worst one I’ve ever watched

 

[LandoComando]

Take the TD but we aren't going to win big games with this stuff

 

[AvgUser]

That sucks.
That seemed like seemed like a solid tackle
I didn’t see the replay

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State's first drive is a strong one. 9 plays, 72 yards and its capped off by a Beau Pribula touchdown.

Penn State 7
Washington 0

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Take the TD but we aren't going to win big games with this stuff

Too gimmicky because they ran an option and an end around?

 

[Wesauking Lion]

Would have been nice to see that call last week....

 

[PurposePitch]

I like the grit, Beau … but slide

 

[LandoComando]

Too gimmicky because they ran an option and an end around?

Yeah, this is the issue with our offense when you watch other teams that will contend. Same negative feedback throughout the country
This stuff doesn't work against the Ohio States of the world
We have to get the base offense going instead of this stuff
Ohio State would have stuffed that

My peacock is about two minutes behind thhis call.

Good luck seeing replays on Peacock….too busy getting commercials in.

 

[Jerry]

I like the way the Steve and Jack are openly rooting for Penn State on the radio call. Refreshing.

 

[WaffleShopper]

Early on Nicholas Singleton looks pretty okay.

He's so much better when he runs angry. Does seem like he has a little more burst than the last few games.

 

[GSPMax]

Steve and Jack are dumping on these refs.

 

[LandoComando]

Remember--you need your offense to be in rhythm for it to be truly successful--great drive going then we get gimmicky once we get close to the red zone. It has to stop if we want the offense to get better so we can beat legit teams. We're beating Washington regardless.

 

[knickslions]

Be nice to see the replay of the targeting. Local high school tv games have better coverage

It's on Peacock--just go back to when it happened lol

 

[Onionbelly]

Not able to watch the game. This may be a dumb question but where is Kaytron Allen?

 

[Wesauking Lion]

My peacock is about two minutes behind thhis call.

cracksteam.... free oline stream

 

[PurposePitch]

You guys must have a different Peacock … they showed the targeting replay at least twice.

 

[LandoComando]

Not able to watch the game. This may be a dumb question but where is Kaytron Allen?

He played--he was in the game on the Evans hit/targeting play

 

[PurposePitch]

Not able to watch the game. This may be a dumb question but where is Kaytron Allen?

Where he usually is … waiting for the 2nd drive

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

I also agree with this. While by rule, I think its targeting it was just a great hit as well

They've never taught that you lead with your helmet, head down - this has ALWAYS been illegal and used to be a 15-Yard PF Penalty called "Spearing". Your taught to keep head up and put the "Ridell" emblem (on top-middle of facemask) onto opposing players chest, wrap-up and run through. You aren't taught to put head down and drive crown of helmet into opposing players facemask - that is the dirtiest of dirty hits and always has been.

 

[PurposePitch]

Slants are a well known Achilles heel of this defense

 

[LandoComando]

Much better defensive series

 

[PurposePitch]

Dang. That ball was loose

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Abdul Carter the last few weeks has been insanely unblockable. Penn State fans getting to see what they missed in the COVID season when Micah Parsons opted out.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

No holding flag there??? LMAO. Carter still got sack but that is holding and b1g clown Officials just watch it and let it go.... joke
