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

[psu00]

They need to have a ‘come to Jesus’ talk with the O line at half. They aren’t opening up any holes. The RBs are stopping in the backfield with happy feet looking for somewhere to run.

 

[bdgan]

All the offense needs to do today is not give points to Iowa. We're controlling the clock and keeping our defense fresh while up 10. I don’t get the angst.

The angst is that our running game has been bad.

 

[RickinDayton]

Ok, that was a bs call

He did get pushed into the punter by Theo.

 

[LandoComando]

He clearly did push him

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Omg #43 in

 

[slykens]

I don't know the rule about roughing a rugby style kicker but it looks like Iowa got a break.

Ok so that’s three or four in our favor and one in theirs.

 

[Onionbelly]

Nice job D!

 

[LandoComando]

The angst is that our running game has been bad.

Okay that I get but some of these complaints are absurd even for a gameel thread.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Yurcich is getting too cute for his own good. Some really questionable calls so far

Awful

 

[Cali_Nittany]

Whew

 

[91Joe95]

Get a new punt returner out there. Catches it around the 5 and now this.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

D dominating baby. But I dont like this conservative BS just bc the D is dominating.

 

[scrivener]

2 mistakes now by Saunders.

 

[Onionbelly]

Oh My! I'm thinking just don't fumble it! But at least he recovered it.

 

[slykens]

Get a new punt returner out there. Catches it around the 5 and now this.

Ha! At least he didn’t toe tap an out of bounds kick off!

 

[LandoComando]

See that's the only thing we can't do. Saunders shouldn't be back there the rest of tonight

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

PSU getting lucky according to announcers.

 

[LandoComando]

Ha! At least he didn’t toe tap an out of bounds kick off!

Lol he should have been cut immediately for that

 

[okinburg1]

Alright PSU, how about a TD here and then one to open the 2nd half. Put this game to bed - no way Iowa can come back down 24 (actually 17 would probably do it).

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

See thats exactly why you dont go conservative on offense. 1 play and the other team can get right back into it.

 

[LandoComando]

PSU getting lucky according to announcers.

As did about half the people in this thread

 

[PennState_one]

Let us be honest. Iowa is lucky the score is only 10-0. It could (and maybe should) be 40-0. Iowa cannot endure the intensity of this game up to this point.

 

[bdgan]

So many believe that the offense should score every drive and the defense not give up a first down. If this doesn't happen, the team sucks.

No, but I think our supposedly great OL & RBs should average more than 2.5 yds per carry.

 

[91Joe95]

Ha! At least he didn’t toe tap an out of bounds kick off!

Get rid of him too.

 

[PAgeologist]

Nice series by the D.

Time for someone else at punt return. 2 potentially costly mistakes by No 7

 

[slykens]

Lol he should have been cut immediately for that

Heh the toe tap was great. Just the wrong situation.

 

[ryoder1]

Can't be attempting a shoestring punt catch. Just let it bounce.

Would be nice to grind out a drive and TD here to close the half.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

We're not beating Mich or OSU with play calling like this.

 

[tlbakernc]

OMG

 

[fastlax16]

Ok so that’s three or four in our favor and one in theirs.

Face mask…

 

[LandoComando]

No, but I think our supposedly great OL & RBs should average more than 2.5 yds per carry.

I think we overvalued our back truthfully. We were talking 2 of the beat in the country.

 

[LandoComando]

Face mask…

As always...calls even out for the most part

 

[NCLION]

Did singleton gain too much weight?
he looks slow

 

[slykens]

Face mask…

The stiff arm was fine until he grasped the face mask. I thought that was a legit call.

 

[LandoComando]

Allen needs to play more the Singelton

 

[bdgan]

As did about half the people in this thread

You don't think we were lucky on punting into Iowa blockers back, incomplete pass vs lateral, 4th and 1 spot, and Saunders recovering his fumbled punt?

 

[ryoder1]

Poor block attempt by Theo.

 

[LandoComando]

The stuff arm was fine until he grasped the face mask. I thought that was a legit call.

It was clearly a facemask and a good call

 

[scrivener]

Defense is getting after it. But between Iowa and Illinois, if we ever play a team that's prolific on offense and has a pulse, we will be in trouble because our offense just does not look good enough.

 

[PSUCYCLING]

I hate us.
