Official PSU - Illini 2020 Game Thread

[CaryPSU]

Can’t run against a team missing 2/3rd of its defensive starters.

2nd consecutive defensive stop. Everybody's ready to pay for Pry's bus fare out of State College; let's see how we all feel by the end of the game.

That must have been a real treat for his mother to see that ugly mug with red sores and blotches all over it for the fist time.

I thought we learned last week you don’t turn down ugly babies or ugly trophies!

Coach Ciarrocca, asking for an early Christmas present. How about 37 more F-ing runs up the middle? Thanks. Please, please, please do not run a sweep outside, OK? Thanks again.

Dotson is putting on a clinic

What kinda gets me with Clifford is you can see the blitz coming and there is no adjustment to the play call at the line of scrimmage. Run right into 2 blitzing linebackers.

I am not changing.

Here comes Levis

 

[Tom McAndrew]

damn, Illini really flooded the box with defenders on 4th & 1, and Levis still gets the 1st. Nice job OL

 

[Obliviax]

Watching Illinois and I am now hungry for a Reese’s buttercup

 

[PSUcup1]

Lee is a friggin bull

 

[quincy1]

4 yrs and Clifford has zero feel to throw the ball anything other than 100 mph

 

[VaLion'92]

I am not changing.

All I can say is that there was a world of difference between the first and second half agasint MSU last week.

In fact, all year long, the D has been better, sometimes much better, in the second half. During a Covid season.

This tells me that practices in pads are "lighter" then they'd normally be. Again...Covid.

 

[PSUcup1]

Lee is very very good

 

[Paguy35]

Man Lee is such a tough runner downhill.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, PSU, with Lee running it in for the score.

35-21, PSU, with 5:32 left in the half

Love Lee. Acts like he’s been there before

All business .

Gotta figure that the stands would look not much different if fans could attend. Looks CAF

Some posts just don’t age well.

OL played well on that drive. Levis is our FB.

 

[Obliviax]

Saw a tweet saying we hit the ‘over’ for the game with over five minutes to go in the half

Our D is average and horrible at times. Illinois is not good, neither is MSU. We need to drastically improve for next season. I would like to see a D coordinator change.

That begs the question, why are they not ready to play in the first half?

[Tom McAndrew]

that was, I believe, PSU's best drive of the game. They took over at their own 8 or 9, and took it the length of the field, with passes, power runs, etc. OL also seemed to wake up on that series

😂
Never so glad to be wrong

 

[Big 0]

Again a rarely if ever called penalty against PSU. And second one this season.

 

[katchthis]

Earlier poster asked - announcer just confirmed this is the lastest game in Beaver Stadium history

It's certainly not a trick play. PSU is just stronger than ILL's replacement players.

 

[LMTLION]

Dont worry, the d will find a way to keep the game artificially close.

Problem is, they tend to doze off again.

Great play Shaka

 

[Tom McAndrew]

nice series by the D

The drive had TWO gimmick plays: (1) a crossing pattern by a TE against the grain back to the weak side and (2) a quick count, snapping it with 29 seconds left on the play clock on the TD run.

Glad to hear that the players get to make the decision on a bowl game.

Me too. It should be up to them in this crazy year.
