Official Pitt - Penn State Game Thread...

[DrJC]

Excuse me, but has anyone seen Justin Shorter?? Has he vanished? Did they take his name off the jersey? I do not like this offense. I do not care how many points they scored against lesser teams. No screen plays. No throws on slants over the middle. Same garbage. Get Rahne out.

 

[RTRMR]

I am starting to take steps toward the anti Rahne crowd.

Been there since last season!

 

[paws1957]

Okay did Jay sneak into the booth upstairs and is calling plays?

 

[PSU_522]

In other news VT is getting handled by Furman ... FURMAN!

 

[Nitwit97]

I think I saw this game last week.

 

[BrucePa]

Great game plan so far this season. Suck in the first half, make adjustments at half time?

Maybe they're trying to wear out Pitt's offense by allowing them to drive the field?

 

[ftlpsu]

But look at the stable of backs, all studs per Rivals right? U have a small Vince Davis who was the main guy in the air raid offense in high school blocking as a freshman in collge.
Been saying this for awhile besides the in game adjustments we seemed to lack, where is the toughness?

Can we score in two minutes? Texas, Oklahoma, Ohio state probably would.

 

[PennStateNate]

Take a knee. Geez

 

[LongJakk]

TCF is not a good tackler. He had a chance to tackle for a loss and was tentative.

 

[PSU.:.]

This offense needs a whole new identity

 

[LaJolla Lion]

I am starting to take steps toward the anti Rahne crowd.

Sorry, but you cannot take a half every single week to figure things out. Outside of one big run...two weeks in a row his offense has been completely shut down by a lesser talented team.

Yes, they definitely took the name off his jersey.

 

[nitanee123]

We will outscore Pitt 28-3 in the second half.

 

[djr4rebs]

Hard to get more than 1 yard in a quarter when you only have it for 3 plays.

We got one more chance...

 

[thewholebit]

Whipple is coaching circles around Pry right now

Sounds like you boys forgot rule #1 on this forum. You can’t criticize Brent Pry.

 

[LaJolla Lion]

TCF is not a good tackler. He had a chance to tackle for a loss and was tentative.

In all fairness...he tackled well last week.

 

[LionLife]

Wild dogs, looking more like puppies right now.

 

[Zone-Blitz]

I’ll say this, I don’t see many other teams struggle to move the ball like PSU does. Something is wrong with this staff, it just seems the offense moves very slow in execution

 

[Big 0]

Bad game day coaching again.

 

[BBG65]

This team is terrible, no pass rush at all. 4.5 speed at DE or LB does you no good if you can't get off blocks. I know Trace made it work big time, but I hate the RBO, you can't run the quick pitchout, quick pops or screen passes within that system. I don't understand why you have to run the RPO every play and not mix in some other stuff.

 

[RU31trap]

Better change our defensive signals!! Doozi must have found them out....

I sensed that as well. Whether it’s a coincidence or they are actually picking up the signals, either way the Pitt O-Line is firing out and trap blocking perfectly on every play.

 

[JoeBot409]

Hamlar should have taken a knee

 

[paws1957]

Ole hippie hammer couldn’t catch a cold.

 

[PennStateNate]

This team is bad guys. Sorry

 

[PSUoh90]

This is a f**king train wreck

 

[JoeBot409]

Hippenhamer and slade in the game.... good lord

 

[LionDeNittany]

A lot of dirty play after that tCkle of Clifford. Where are the refs?

 

[fastlax16]

Anemic effort in both sides of the ball. Pitt wants this more, a lot more, and it shows

 

[NCLION]

Again I’ll say it

Saquan and Trace hid a lot of coaching deficiencies

 

[Nitwit97]

Sorry, but you cannot take a half every single week to figure things out. Outside of one big run...two weeks in a row his offense has been completely shut down by a lesser talented team.

Yep


They keep playing with fire and will get burned.

 

[CoolBean]

OL gave Clifford no time

 

[Roar Lions Roar]

Ugh. Pitt may get the ball back again.

 

[JoeBot409]

A lot of extra curricular activity going on at the bottom of the pile

 

[BBG65]

We will outscore Pitt 28-3 in the second half.

Hope you're right, but I don't see it.

 

[NittanyChris]

Hippenhammer is on the field because?

 

[LongJakk]

Pitt giving Clifford the business after the play.

 

[PSU_522]

MORE OF THAT!

 

[androcles]

...it’s obvious that their pass rush is much more effective than ours...
...whatever happened to screens?...

 

[Roar Lions Roar]

Yes!!!!

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Just got home; watching a couple of plays and Pitt seems really motivated (hit on Brown on the KR was iffy). That said - SLADE!!!
