Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State vs. Minnesota

[PAgeologist]

These are the same plays my kids high school runs, and they're no powerhouse.

Same here. Difference is though they were moving the ball.

 

[tlbakernc]

I think I'm actually more concerned that we have no run game than I am with Clifford

I’m dumbfounded how our OL can continue to be so bad year in and year out.

 

[PAgeologist]

Katshir on the field to start the drive. No reason.

At least he can wrap up and tackle.

 

[LandoComando]

Yep...when PSU plays anyone these days...you have to worry. There is absolutely no reliability anywhere on this team, or an identity for that matter.

If we prevent Ibrahim from running wild like Michigan did last week we're 100% fine. With their inexperience at QB I don't see that happening

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

If I were Minn, I'd give the ball to Ibrahim 40 times this game.

 

[NCLION]

At least he can wrap up and tackle.

He has actually looked okay, a few good plays

 

[LandoComando]

If I were Minn, I'd give the ball to Ibrahim 40 times this game.

He'll get 40 touches--won't better if they can't throw the ball some

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

That's your 6th year QB, take the safe short pass when you have a free play.

 

[NCLION]

Who is #18?

 

[PAgeologist]

What the hell happened? They switched to an old replay for a second. I saw QB under center and a FB

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Up the middle or off tackle with Singleton.

 

[LandoComando]

That's your 6th year QB, take the safe short pass when you have a free play.

I'm not even mad because he threw it to a TE who are our only guys that do anything

 

[PAgeologist]

Hell I would keep running the power T.

 

[LandoComando]

Might be our best screen in years

 

[okinburg1]

Screen play? Holy shite, never thought I'd see one from PSU ever again

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW!!!

 

[PAgeologist]

Now i know someone's messing with us. A screen pass to a RB?

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Sean Clifford finds a wide-open Tyler Warren and Penn State is up 9-3 with 9:05 remaining in the second quarter.

 

[LandoComando]

Just keep throwing the TEs---telling you all--it might not be pretty but this game won't be close

 

[NittanyChris]

Yessss!!!

 

[PAgeologist]

Just keep throwing the TEs---telling you all--it might not be pretty but this game won't be close

Yep. Get them all on the field at once.

 

[mcpat]

TEs are getting open.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Good or bad, JF has the same stupid 1000 yard stare. He should go up to the box if he's not gonna do anything on the sideline.

 

[Marylovesthelions]

Finally your offense is found our tight ends again. We need to portal a couple for 4.4 or better wide receivers for next year.

 

[BudatPSU]

The announcer said “there is nothing downfield” and then there is touchdown.

 

[LandoComando]

Yep. Get them all on the field at once.

Right? That's the key--use your best players. Minnesota's biggest defensive flaw is their middle. Attack it with the big TEs over and over and over.

 

[okinburg1]

Serious question. One day this week did MY open his playbook and find pages he had forgotten were there? Passing to the TEs, screen, toss sweep? Where the F were these plays last week? Odds are they still would not have won but they might have had more than 6 yards on O in the first half.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Isn't Warren 6'6 and Johnson 6'5? Shouldn't they pose matchup problems with safeties?

 

[LandoComando]

The announcer said “there is nothing downfield” and then there is touchdown.

He was as confused as Minny's D

 

[Coultr77]

It seems they are

He was saving those for Minn.

 

[Online Persona]

TEs catching passes, screens...I could get used to this sprinkled in.

Seems that way. Most likely Franklin hid them from him and he got them back finally

 

[PAgeologist]

Maybe someone stole Franklins playsheet. We had some unique formations/plays that actually worked.

He’s 6’6” 250 lbs. was a HS QB.

It's not real. We are all in an episode of the Twilight Zone.

 

[NittanyChris]

Gorgeous drive. Outstanding play calling.

 

[GregInPitt]

Great play to get the ball to Warren, but if Tinsley could block Singleton would have taken the screen pass to the House.

 

[NCLION]

Why is #0 on the edge?
put 45/back in

 

[LandoComando]

Gotta mix in guys a little bit
45 is much better though
