Stevens!

 

[BobPSU92]

Tommy Stevens the 1.1 string QB scores. I can't call him second string.

He's too good to be second string.

 

[Pocono Lion]

I love Trace, but boy I would love to see what Tommy Stevens could do with the first team for an extended period of time.

 

[PennSt8er]

This looks like the old "HD offense" with the 2 QB sets.

 

[LionFan87b]

He's such a dildo, still can't believe he told the girl he interviewed in the first half "You sound sober"

Yes, after she said she was a freshman.

I paused it and took a bathroom break during the interview with Saquon's parents just so I could fast forward it...you could tell he was grasping for relevant questions and mom was not interested.

 

[mmp121]

Yes, after she said she was a freshman.

He also made a passing comment about her sharing selfies with her friends back in HS.

Talk about a creepy dude!

 

[Woodpecker]

Damn New Jersey turf!

 

[Big 0]

Yes, after she said she was a freshman.

If she was my daughter I would be making major noise with ABC over this guy. I would ask for his resignation from sideline reporting. That kind of interview with a freshman who just started college is reprehensible.

 

[fairfaxlion2]

What the hell. Now the announcers are talking about how Akron could win the MAC. Yeah they look great

Stevens is an incredible runner - he can easily play True Flanker for PSU, he doesn't even need to line up at QB to be a huge dual-threat! Actually, I love the formations with Trace and Tommy both in the game - especially in the RedZone! Tommy Stevens is an incredible threat in the RedZone and inside the 10 when he's on the edge and the d-backs have to decide whether to come up in run-support or stay with their eligible-receiver assignment.....once Stevens gets a full head of steam, you aren't keeping him out of the Endzone if you wait to long on this decision - not just a great athlete and runner, but a very big guy and built basically like a TE!

 

[Pocono Lion]

Damn New Jersey turf!

The turf monster got Apke. That could have gone for a long one.

 

[fairfaxlion2]

Need to start running out the clock. Getting pointless to put pretty much anybody on the field

 

[Brad908]

Yes, after she said she was a freshman.

Didn't he start the interview with saying she was a freshman and asking how her first game was going?

Super awkward either way

 

[Big 0]

Well at least Gilliken got some practice in.

 

[Philly Lion]

I love Trace, but boy I would love to see what Tommy Stevens could do with the first team for an extended period of time.

You will, in 2019.

Yes and it was a really long and weird interview. She should have ignored him after the 2nd question

 

[LionFan87b]

Agreed. Just asking that question suggests that underage drinking is expected. Terrible judgement.

Except for the guys getting reps...

 

[BobPSU92]

The 4th quarter is brutal. It feels like it started yesterday.

 

[PSU_l]

My 63-0 prediction in the "Score Prediction" thread is looking better all the time.....

 

[Big 0]

Probable hold.

 

[PSU_l]

More bull$hit calls from the b1g losers - ghost holding call wiping out Sanders 40 yard run.....LMAO. Hamilton was just tackled attempting to extend for a catch on 3rd down - no flag, these clowns are hysterical in their obvious attempts to keep more PSU points off the board.

 

[Big 0]

Just love the way the defense is playing.

 

[Big 0]

Dumb offsides penalty.

The non-call on the PI was ... WOW.

 

[mmp121]

Dumb offsides penalty.

Its 2nd / 3rd string, they will learn.

Lets not forget OSU's first team DE was lined up offsides several times repeatedly in their game against IU, but was only called on it once.

 

[Big 0]

Akron moving. Need to clamp down.

 

[CDLionFL]

Rankings do matter.

They do? In what way? There's a committee now that chooses the 4 playoff teams. What the writers, coaches, computers, and New York Times say means zero nowadays.

 

[Big 0]

Well not 63-0 as someone predicted, but I will take a dominating 52-0 performance anytime.

 

[We Are . . .]

Shutout.

 

[GregInPitt]

Love seeing Cooper getting some PT at OLB, and Jan Johnson at MLB.

Lots of DB's playing - McPherson, Petrishen, .....

Jorden, Joseph on the DL....

Build that depth!!

 

[supermatt24]

The game couldn't have gone any better IMO. The stars (Barkley, McSorley, Gesicki) put up big numbers, the backups got quality snaps, the defense posted a shutout and NOBODY GOT HURT!

Best summary I've seen. Reps for the backups is something we always took for granted for so many years. It may not show up now, but next year, it will pay off in a big-time way.

 

[Nitwit]

A nice showing overall. Got the nerves settled and both the offense and defense looked very competent. The D Line was especially dominant. Biggest surprise for me was our punt return game in the absence of Reid. Barkley and Gesecki were my two stars of the game and Trace made good decisions as usual. A few dropped passes by Hamilton, and some passes thrown slightly off the mark, along with the one missed FG were my only disappointments. The made 47 harder was a nice confidence booster - like taking a mulligan. Use of Stevens will give something for Pitt to worry about, and I'm sure we kept plenty of the offense under wraps as well.

Now - BEAT PITT week starts'

 

[SmithtonLion]

SIAP: Terry Bowden got chubby.

Wrong.

He started chubby and got fat.

 

[supermatt24]

Our best pass rusher got hurt. Miller was out in the first quarter.

Is he officially injured? Didn't hear anything about him...

 

[81b&w]

What does it mean for you to have a strong relationship with Saquon" (aka his own son)

He should have said about 20 million bucks

 

[psuro]

He should have said about 20 million bucks

Yeah that would have been a smart thing to say about your son on TV

 

[Ian]

Great opener to get some rust off the engine. Hamilton dropped an early pass. Center snaps were disruptive several times and even in special teams which led to missed FG. That will tighten up. No idea why Barkley is returning kicks. Also saw Johnson and Charles on KO team. Did Cam Brown play? Miller looked good at LB. Chavis is a monster in the middle. Buchholz is a horse. Matos looks great, too. Overall not much to be critical of. sPitt will be destroyed next week.
