Football Indiana / Penn State Game Thread

Searching for one word to describe an OL that can't block Indiana.

 

[tlbakernc]

MYs offense probably does. Unfortunately he should be fired if this is the case.

Allar’s capable of getting yards running. Why not call a QB draw from time to time. RPO plays are also way down.

 

[LandoComando]

Singleton continues to disappoint. Can't drop that.

 

[McCloudersportLion]

Lotta mopin' in this thread, the bottom line after 2020 to Nevah Forget is that it's not about a beauty pageant against the Hoosier bastids but that PSU wins by 1 or more every year from now until the 2173 world War against Australia China France

Singleton is a guy who read his press. Allen has been way better this season.

Allowing them to hang around is what eventually cost us the 2020 game and season.

Correct and during that time we've seen nothing to indicate he can play at this level

Mr Allar is trending toward showing he can’t play at this level too

 

[LandoComando]

Agreed--I'm hoping Singleton comes back next year fully dedicated and committed because right now it's not there.
3.3/carry today--the TD run was nice as was him finding space on the 21 yard catch but there's too much "bad" from him.

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

Sophomore slumps all around. First round draft picks don’t play like this. Frankly, second and third round picks don’t either.

That's interesting because like 3 games into this season people were claiming he was already better than Kerry Collins as a senior
But, no, you're right--however how much of that is on the coaching.

It's relative to what he is capable of.
Maybe he is injured. Not sure.

 

[ryoder1]

Defense looks nothing like last week. No intensity.

 

[jbenedict]

Why does it seem that our team is always out coached.

 

[ram2020]

If Yurich can't adapt to a pure drop back passer then he needs to go or we shouldn't be recruiting QBs like Allar.

Ding ding ding

 

[LionDeNittany]

On that last series we went to the well of plays that dont work.

Singleton running and two Allar passes.

Should have just punted on 1st.

 

[AvgUser]

soft

Normal for us?

Hmmmmmm . . .

Where’s the Stat Man today?
Maybe some of his magic numbers could make this mess look a little better.
At the very least, we would know every time Indiana was holding.

 

[PennSt8er]

Giving this team a bit of a pass today. It's obvious there would be a big emotional let down a week after OSU and a noon k/o. But this team needs to get some leadership (and new O coaching).

 

[psu00]

After 3 quarters-

Passing-
PSU- 17/26, 132 yards
Indiana- 10/15, 232 yards

Rushing-
PSU- 33 attempts, 105 yards
Indiana- 22 attempts, 57 yards

 

[lazydave841]

We are missing JB Nelson.

He's been out there. Assuming he's 100% since he's playing. Just not an effective OL.

 

[LandoComando]

PSU- 17/26, 132 yards

That run average is awful too
Honestly, the offense needs major work

Ouch! Tells you all you need to know about our passing game. 7.8 yard average on passing. That’s not good at all.

 

[PSUcup1]

Beginning to think MY’s offense needs a running QB to be successful. When Allar takes off running no one is in the middle.

Not really. When he had his best seasons it was with Mason Rudolph.

 

[tlbakernc]

My bad. Noticed that right after posting.

 

[Thomas1945]

As bad as we’re playing somebody forgot to tell a 2-5 Indiana team that their supposed to roll over and play dead.

 

[PSUcup1]

Can someone tell me why 43 is in the game

He’s been in on all 3 scores. It’s equal to playing with 10 men

 

[ryoder1]

We may need more than 24 the way this defense looks.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Touchdown Indiana.

Sorsby to Omar Cooper and the Hoosiers are down just three here early in the fourth quarter.

24-21 Penn State.

 

[PennSt8er]

PSU is waaaaaaay overrated.

 

[tlbakernc]

Super uninspired play all around.

 

[ryoder1]

This is officially a nightmare. The defense decides not to show up now. Indiana has confidence and all the momentum.

 

[LMTLION]

I can feel it. We will lose.

 

[psu00]

Defense looks nothing like last week. No intensity.

The entire team lacks intensity and is just going through the motions. This has been a recurrent problem under this coaching staff. This is how they lose every few years to the Illinois/ Indiana/ Maryland type teams.

Why is it the other team can be motivated and run the ball as well as make tight throws but Penn St can’t?

24-21 PSU in the 4th. Indiana is 2-5.

 

[LionDeNittany]

Our D stopped them to a missed FG and we went 3 and out.

With a singleton run and two passes.

Our O sucks

 

[LandoComando]

Super uninspired play all around.

Just like it was said at the beginning of the game--the fans are there just because it's what they're supposed to do. It's hard to get up for this game as a player or a fan. We know what lies ahead of us when we play Michigan. What good is 10-2?

 

[ryoder1]

I can feel it. We will lose.

We sure are trying to. Making their offense look like a juggernaut.
