Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State vs. Michigan

[GregInPitt]

Another big run right up the middle. Right past King.

Please move Carter to Mike. He might not set the world on fire his first couple of games there, but at least there would be hope for the future run defense.......

 

[LandoComando]

Honestly, we're lucky this isn't 49-0

 

[rrdd2021]

Michigan - 396 yards rushing

 

[scrivener]

The fanboys who constantly insult and name call should be banned simply for being rude and inconsiderate, to say nothing of the fact they look like absolute fools today

 

[tlbakernc]

Bottomline on todays game. No run defense and a 6 year OB who never improved like we hoped.

 

[Hotshoe]

They're working on their excuses
My stalker disappeared once we no longer had the lead as well

No. No one can make excuses. MY and Diaz both suck.

The refs ?

This is hard to watch. This team is definitely soft in the middle. Getting absolutely manhandled today. I hope some of these guys take offense to it because Minnesota is licking their chops seeing Michigan run right up the middle on us.

 

[Hotshoe]

One catch to a TE. What a play caller Yurchich is.

 

[BudatPSU]

This has gone from bad to really embarrassing.

 

[Hotshoe]

Are you new here?

I've been here since plotit days.

 

[psrurock]

Unfortunately Michigan exposed our so called strength, the defensive line..They manned up and embarrassed PSU..As a team, Michigan didnt let up and we gave up. Hats off to them. Now back to work.

 

[Cowbell Man]

No, the biggest joke is Diaz and his D. We're giving up 400 yards on the ground. This is an absolute disgrace. Diaz and MY absolutely suck.

Ever seen the size of our DTs? The ones Michigan is not double teaming? The last run by Corum showed their Center release and take him out.
Diaz inherited this small and not very deep line.

 

[zubrus1]

I've been here since plotit days.

I know that. Was being sarcastic as this has been Franklin for 9 years….some of us saw it a long time ago…..and some still refuse which is mind boggling….

 

[Parkerdam555]

Izzard is making a difference, just not a big enough one.......

Perhaps he should be starting. Maybe we can force a punt.

 

[gow55]

Did Tyler Warren forget how to tackle? All game going for a big hit or strip, giving up huge yardage. If he would just freaking tackle.

 

[Hotshoe]

Franklin wanted both MY and Diaz. It's on him. This is an absolute disgrace.

 

[LandoComando]

The refs ?

That's going to be a hard sell
They also said if we won the turnover battled we'd be fine...

 

[IANit]

To also be fair, if it wasn't for a ton of missed tackles today, half of those big plays don't happen. Think Diaz is probably doing as best as he could to a degree. Not a great game being called but still.

Missed tackles can be on the player, but well-coached teams tend to not miss so many tackles.

 

[PSULionsDub]

One catch to a TE. What a play caller Yurchich is.

I’m not sure what is going on with Yurcich, but our offense is definitely not the offense that he was calling at Oklahoma State. And we have better players and athletes than he had at Oklahoma State

 

[Parkerdam555]

No. No one can make excuses. MY and Diaz both suck.

No. They don't. This is about recruiting up front and player development

 

[LandoComando]

Curious to see what the voters do with us. The first decent team we played all year destroyed us.

 

[Hotshoe]

Ever seen the size of our DTs? The ones Michigan is not double teaming? The last run by Corum showed their Center release and take him out.
Diaz inherited this small and not very deep line.

Nonsense. Our lbr's are no where to be found. Our D line is very deep.

 

[LandoComando]

No. They don't. This is about recruiting up front and player development

It's both. Diaz was overrated as a DC prior and was an awful coach
Yurich has never been impressive.

 

[87 Penn St8]

Beyond a few great individual efforts, the only redeeming thing about this game was seeing Jake Moody kick and remember that he displaced our Jet Set Harbaugh Pajama Party former commit Quinn Nordin.

"Hope" is about all that seems to be. Franklin has consistently under recruited the OL, particularly OT. And for all the numbers at DT, as well as their experience as there are many upper classment DT's on the roster, the beef is just not there.........

And there are a good many WR's on the roster, most of them were high 3 star or low 4 star players. But outside of a couple of catches by Tinsley and one by Wallace our WR corps has performed more like one recruited by the bottom feeders of the B10.

For us to be at our best 3 and 86 have to make plays. For whatever reason they are essentially MIA...maybe credit Michigan?

 

[Hotshoe]

No. They don't. This is about recruiting up front and player development

One throw to a TE. Get real.

 

[LandoComando]

Nonsense. Our lbr's are no where to be found. Our D line is very deep.

Agreed...the LBs are by far the biggest issue with the run D.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

This is honestly ridiculous. We get dominated and people are still bitching about the refs. The refs are not one of our biggest problems let alone the biggest

Would you prefer that we do some extra hammering once again on Franklin for being unprepared after a bye-week?

 

[Hotshoe]

It's both. Diaz was overrated as a DC prior and was an awful coach
Yurich has never been impressive.

There's a reason tOSU let him go.

 

[LandoComando]

Okay Singleton can't drop that

 

[LandoComando]

Would you prefer that we do some extra hammering once again on Franklin for being unprepared after a bye-week?

Yes because that would be accurate and relevant

 

[Football79Dude]

Reffing was fine today.

Run defense was catastrophic. Maybe if we stacked the line at the start of the game and didn’t give up so many long drives, things would have been different.

 

[fastlax16]

Allar should start moving foreard

 

[LandoComando]

The good news for us, I guess, is that Minnesota has completely collapsed so as long as we don't do the same next week shouldn't be much of a problem

 

[IANit]

The quit has begun
sad that season over before Halloween again

I don't think we've given up 396 yards rushing since Sandusky was here.

 

[SheldonJoe2215]

Moron!

I don't know if I would say he is a moron, but his game day decisions leave a lot to be desired.

See what I did there, dumb dumb?

 

[LandoComando]

Allar should start moving foreard

After Ohio State--set him up to succeed.
LOL Singleton just got run over smh

 

[PSUcup1]

Bad day for Nick singleton

 

[LandoComando]

Allar might die before his game is over--he's not surviving Ohio State.
