Official PSU - Auburn Whiteout Game Thread

[PAgeologist]

Put a TV outside on the porch and lit a campfire. Drinking pumpkin beer.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

KLS looking good on the 1st drive

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

Clifford having a beer and brat with that much time to throw.

 

[Phil's Rug]

1st down

 

[RU31trap]

Good luck to Nittany Nation!! Beat Auburn!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

damn, Parker Washington a yard short on 3rd down. PSU is going for it. Doesn't look like he made it.

Edit: he didn't. ugh

 

[fastlax16]

Way too much to gain for that call. Punt and put them in the student section.

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

Better hope that decision doesn't come back to bite Franklin. Team wasn't ready when they called the 4th down play

 

[Tom McAndrew]

good grief, calling PI/holding on that???

 

[BW Lion]

It’s repeatedly frustrating when a talented team not only has to outplay an opponent, they also need to cover for their incompetent coach

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 11, and AU gets 1. Carlson in for a FG

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Carlson makes a 45-yard FG, and AU takes the lead, 0-3, with 9:37 left in the 1st qtr.

 

[fastlax16]

A gift from the staff. Ugly kick.

[BeaverLion]

I hated going for it.

 

[psuno1]

Punt the ball Franklin

That decision yielded 3 pts for Auburn. PSU should be able to run between the tackles for a yard but we couldn't do it at Wisconsin.

 

[NittanyChris]

Great job by D. Idiotic to call a sneak with nearly two yards to go. A gift 3.

 

[psualt]

Glad that call only cost us three. No need to do that at home.

Reminds me of UK and OSU where we do dumb $hit.

 

[fkkkjm]

We are not the Patriots with Brady. A hall of fame QB and all pro interior linemen. Our guards suck.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

So we spotted them 3. Will it matter? I think probably.

 

[Lion Son/Husband/Father]

I like auburns 3 n 10 play shows minuscule confidence in 10

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[WestSideLion]

I hated going for it.

That early when a punt puts them in the student section? Me too.

 

[rmem]

Great job by D. Idiotic to call a sneak with nearly two yards to go.

I really wish Franklin would stop doing this shit. Does he think he is Bill Belichick? He just handed them a FG. QB sneak with 2 yards to go, great call too.

 

[Midnighter2]

good grief, calling PI/holding on that???

Players need to resist the urge to look around for a flag and/or do the arm thing after a pass defense. Draws unwanted attention.

 

[lazydave841]

I think Auburn abandoned the run too early there.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Defense is playing fast.

Terrible sneak call on 4th down reminded me of the Indiana-Cincy game. QBs altered stance telegraph the call for the defense.

Other than that the offense execution has been pretty good.

 

[WestSideLion]

That decision yielded 3 pts for Auburn. PSU should be able to run between the tackles for a yard but we couldn't do it at Wisconsin.

The QB sneak under center is going to be the new predictable PSU shirt yardage call. The new RB draw up the middle.

 

[pennstater04]

You guys need to chill out. It’s the first possession….if we converted it and drove down for a TD it would have been a great call. Auburn only got 3….and D just got a ton of confidence.

 

[psualt]

Who was #10 in the return???

I knew James was going to attempt the 1st down, wishing he didn’t. Sometimes James needs to be patient

Actually it wouldn’t have been.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3 & out for PSU. Cliff had a receiver open on 3rd down, but elected to run with it.

 

[Big 0]

Just great offense so far.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Who was #10 in the return???

John Lovett.

 

[scrivener]

This is a whole different animal from the standpoint of speed and athleticism on defense. We will see how our roster compares tonight...and our staff for that matter

 

[dogwood3131]

We are getting our ears kicked in so far

 

[fkkkjm]

Who is number 17 gunning on punts? We still have walkons playing special teams? Those darn scholarship reductions.

Souththern speed = myth
