Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State vs. Ohio State

[baircub1!]

No pressure on Stroud. Game time. Only a turnover can save us now.....

Regardless.. this OSU receiving group is really really good..

This isn't Minnesota. This is one of the most talented teams in the US.

 

[LandoComando]

There's no way I'd draft Stroud in the top 10

 

[PSUcup1]

how can you allow Harrison that much room on 3rd and 7

 

[NC2017]

When do we become ELITE?

 

[scrivener]

Too many dudes to cover...they have game changers all over the place. Hard to cover all game. Maybe drones and a barbershop in the facilities will help.

Harrison is really the only receiver that has done anything. Their second best is out.
Game over

 

[PSUcup1]

There is no reason 43 should be on the field

 

[NCLION]

We just can’t close out big games

Our defense played a good game againt OSU but wore down over time.

Giving them 3 easy opportunities to score didn't help us.

Our offense needs to improve and our d will then look better.

To be fair, Ohio State's the better team--this one isn't on coaching alone

 

[Beaver-Stadium]

Diaz deserves a good deal of blame. 3rd and 10 - NO need for all out blitz, bad call, he cost us a chance to win. 100% deserves HEAT. NO reason for all out there, trust your DL and no need to go all one way or another. AGAIN it is lack of balance and situational awareness. He does the same thing way too many time over and over in the same situations.

 

[bdgan]

Dixon got caught flat footed.

Flat footed or not, our DBs are in man coverage. No help.

 

[LandoComando]

Our offense needs to improve and our d will then look better.

Largely agree but we didn't create any turnovers--that's not good enough from the D in this type of game

 

[PSU Soupy]

Lot of bettors interested in the 2 point conversion.

100% on Diaz, no need for all out blitz when it is 3rd and 10. Look back how many 3rd and long his all our blitzs did not work

 

[wilbury]

Clifford lost containment

 

[PennState_one]

When do we become ELITE?

Until they develop a championship mindset, it won't happen. No little monkey on the back, this is a silver back guerilla.

 

[scrivener]

I can see the 10-2 crowd with the (great season) message coming soon after the game.

 

[knickslions]

Clifford lost containment

Lol

 

[NCLION]

LB recruiting and Clifford’s fourth turnovers are the story in this game

i actually think our staff has had a solid game today
played hard and didn’t quit early

Just need a portal LB and Allar to develop

frustrating but can’t fault effort

 

[1AA]

And there goes the spread

 

[LandoComando]

This is why you don't bet on -15.5

 

[PSUcup1]

Can we please have this be the end of the Sean Clifford era ?!

 

[PSU Soupy]

Hurt by missing on great DTs, O line man and elite WR.
Proud of PSU, this young team will grow.

 

[GregInPitt]

Does Clifford EVER look to see if he is trying to throw through a DE??

Lol ok...at no point has the offense balanced out the D this yr... Against purdue the defense held them to 7 points in the 2nd half… the defense scored 3 less points than the offense against Michigan…. like the offense is terrible and they never help out the defense

 

[jjw165]

Epic collapse

 

[LandoComando]

I can see the 10-2 crowd with the (great season) message coming soon after the game.

10-2 without a quality win--that's the response

 

[YeOldeCup]

And there goes the spread

Previously crying bettors go bonkers.

 

[SheldonJoe2215]

And OSU covers to add insult to injury.

 

[tlbakernc]

Wonder if “Clifford’s Mom” is gonna defend that throw?

 

[nikko57]

Hopefully last time we see Clifford

Yep, disappointing though that we would collapse on D that badly.

 

[PSU Soupy]

Clifford lack of awareness, lack of strong OT. Ballgame.

 

[PSUcup1]

And Bryce Effner is not a B10 lineman

 

[LandoComando]

Can we please have this be the end of the Sean Clifford era ?!

He's not the reason we lost but yes Allar should start next week

 

[fastlax16]

Time for Allar next week

 

[knickslions]

Does Clifford EVER look to see if he is trying to throw through a DE??

The way the line blocks he’s always throwing through a DE

 

[PennState_one]

Hopefully last time we see Clifford

Nah, imo, one of Franklin's biggest flaws is that he is to loyal. Gotta be cutthroat like the regular top teams are.
