Football GAMEDAY THREAD - THE WHITE OUT -- Penn State vs. Iowa

[AWS1022]

Likely better for OSU to have an extra loss in the 3 way tie scenario but depends on what ND does the rest of the way

OSU having an extra loss helps in the playoff scenario. That would give them two losses and they will be out.

 

[LandoComando]

Doesn't ND play USC

You want to rely on USC beating them? I sure as hell don't.

 

[lazydave841]

Are we sure non-conference games go into this?
That would also then mean we need to beat Michigan which seems like the unlikelier scenario.

No, it wouldn't. It's OOC.

However, we are probably better off being Buckeyes '22 than worrying about a 3way tie prospective.

But ND having a loss is way more improtant

 

[ao5884]

Imagine if a legit 2 receiver steps up

 

[PennSt8er]

ND still has USC and Clemson left

 

[NittanyChris]

I want the shutout. No second stringers. Foot on the gas.

 

[LandoComando]

No, it wouldn't. It's OOC.

Right, it has no impact on a 3 way tie therefore Ohio State winning is best for us. Maybe Maryland or someone can help us out with them but ND winning is bad, very bad.

Clemson isn't good. USC has no defense.

Notre dame has some games left on the schedule they definitely could lose. I am personally not concerned with them. If PSU can just handle its business, it should be no thing but a chicken wing. 😉

Pound it.

This is great!! Loving it!

I think Notre Dame giving them a loss wouldn't be a bad thing. They have some tough games on the schedule that they could easily lose. The win/loss column is important imo.... You have to take advantage of a big 3 loss whenever you can. It all really comes down to PSU winning and the rest should play out nicely. But the 1 loss tie situation sucks.

B E A Utiful!

And missed pass interference

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State's streak of points in 30+ games is officially extended to 11 games as Drew Allar throws a terrific ball to KeAndre Lambert-Smith, who makes a fantastic catch to make it a 31-0 lead for the Nittany Lions.

They don’t I’m just talking about the playoff. I don’t give a shit about the ccg. OSU with two losses is effectively eliminated even if they win the tiebreak and the big ten championship.

 

[NittanyChris]

When KLS’s head is right, he’s impressive.

 

[tlbakernc]

If I’m Iowa, time to pull the starting QB. He’s taken a beating. He’s already hurt. Time to rest the kid before he gets knocked out.

 

[PennSt8er]

Just to remind everyone, I CALLED THE BEATDOWN in multiple threads. IA was overmatched bigly.

 

[okinburg1]

PSU blanking the Hawks, Coach Prime humbled and Pitt $hitting the bed vs UNC. What a lovely night.

 

[bdgan]

I hate the leaping penalty and I hate the folly floater fade pass but I'm happy it worked out for PSU.

It devalues us beating Ohio State. If we lose to Ohio State it makes the loss worse. Nothing benefits us by Ohio State losing. You can't expect us to go 12-0 given our recent lack of success against Michigan and Ohio State. If Ohio State loses I won't lose any sleep over it but I know it's horrible for us and hurts our playoff chances.

Best Manny-led defensive performance yet, yay or no?

 

[slykens]

This is turning into a three hour imposition of will.

Great to see. Would have liked to see some things but hard to argue the results.

 

[AWS1022]

I hate the leaping penalty and I hate the folly floater fade pass but I'm happy it worked out for PSU.

And they’re not consistent with the leaping penalty….Illinois did the same thing on their FG block and they didn’t call it.

So you care more about Ohio State not getting in then us getting in the playoffs?

The passing & catching is this pouring rain is impressive, absolutely impressive.

 

[ao5884]

Once again the 2nd team will get reps which is invaluable

 

[PennSt8er]

Big 4th down play for OSU r n

 

[NedFromYork]

Ha ha. Couldn't tell it was Jordan Vandenberg because "he was coming in so fast." 🙂

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Looks like Beau will be coming in for Penn State.

 

[okinburg1]

Iowa has 2 first downs, both in the 1st quarter. Wow, their O really does suck.

 

[LandoComando]

Looks like Beau will be coming in for Penn State.

Good

 

[PennSt8er]

Big 4th down play for OSU r n

they got stuffed. If ND can run the ball, it's over

 

[AvgUser]

I would like to see Pribula in there

 

[RickinDayton]

ND still has USC and Clemson left

And Duke.

 

[tlbakernc]

ND still has USC and Clemson left

Clemson is 0-2 in ACC play.

 

[PennSt8er]

Now OSU plays spoiler to a PSU and UM season

The only thing that matters is the number in the loss column. If you want to say it’s bad because now ND is more likely to get a slot sure. But that’s it.
