Official PSU - Indiana Game Thread

[Tom McAndrew]

we've waited a long time for this season to start. let's get it going in a positive manner.

We Are ....

- looking forward to seeing what the new coaches of the OC, OL, and WR bring forth
- happy that the OLine returns all but one of its starters
- sorry that Journey Brown will not be playing
- curious to see how the D fills some of the spots opened by graduation/Parsons opting out
- aware that Indy has some talent, and has given us fits in the past
- confident that we'll be on the winning side at the end of the game

.... Penn State!!!

A positive note! I am positive someone will be complaining by 3:45! And i positively need another beer!!

Since they are using cardboard fans in the stadium, how do we know that people who are posting in here are not also just cardboard cutouts of their favorite person??? Is this the real Tom Andrew or a stiff, wooden cardboard Tom???🤣

no clue. I'm not at the game

 

[LionsandBear]

I really really really hope we emphasize the ground game more this year. It would be wise with all our talent at RB and behind a strong OL. It would help keep Clifford upright and probably make the passing game more efficient which is a KC calling card. IU will battle us but I feel confident in a PSU win.

Is FS1 gonna doe the right thing and switch from the 55-14 KState blowout or are we gonna miss the start of our game?

So the dude on BTN just said playing OSU this early is a big advantage for OSU....why?

 

[berklion]

I'm about to leave work. I can't read twitter here.

The guys on FS1 said that PSU gets better over time from game to game. OSU is so talented and loaded that they are already at an elite level from game one right out of the gates.

 

[HartfordLlion]

Plain stupid one half of the stadium empty

 

[lionroar88]

I'm looking to see how the OL opens holes for the RBs, how the RBs hit the hole and break tackles, do the WR catch the ball... and how well the DEs control the edge.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Indy wins the toss, and defers

I'm anxious to see how the old coach (Pry) has prepared for Indy's passing attack.

tO$U's D did not look elite today. Their DL is not great and the secondary has some holes.

Come on, Franklin. Give me an ASS. BEATING. !

Ummmm

 

[HartfordLlion]

Just want to see if our OL can impose their will on the IU DL. If we can't do it today, next week isn't going to look good

 

[Big 0]

Just not as enthused this year for CFB. Delayed start to season, no fans in the stands, and the lack of getting to see Micah and Journey perform this year, etc. However, I want to see what the new OC brings to the table.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

301 days between today's game and PSU's last game, per Steve Jones

 

[NittanyChris]

I actually don't disagree. We are breaking in a new OC with no nonconference games as a warmup. We've lost the best football player on our team and our number 1 RB (even though we're deep at both positions). I would have preferred to give the offense a few games to get clicking before facing tOSU as well.

Here we go, lets go PSU

 

[ftlpsu]

Hello JaHan great job!! NICE CLIFFORD!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Ford returns to the 36, after catching it at the 9. A short kick. Ford nearly got a lot more, but tripped up

 

[CoolBean]

nice throw and catch

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Cadeen Wallace was TE on the 1st play. hmm

Nice completion on Cliff's 1st throw

 

[ftlpsu]

Blocking looks good!

 

[ftlpsu]

So now we will see the pass...let’s see what Ciarocca, Clifford and receivers do?

 

[We Are . . .]

Ford looked good on that run

 

[Obliviax]

Indiana's crowd sounds into it

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Anyone surprised the review booth didn’t question the sideline catch?

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

so far, good choice of plays, more straight ahead plays and not so much from side to side.

 

[fastlax16]

Anyone surprised the review booth didn’t question the sideline catch?

Yes. It’s why I don’t buy the idea that every play is reviewed.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 2 at Indy's 8.

so far, been doing it almost exclusively on the ground

looks like Ford battled and got the 1st & goal

 

[LionDeNittany]

Ford looking very strong.

so far no clifford runs so they are telegraphing and still getting yards

 

[lionroar88]

Anyone surprised the review booth didn’t question the sideline catch?

Yep... not certain he had control throughout

 

[ftlpsu]

Look for TE here...

 

[NittanyChris]

Ford looks great but Cain has to get that carry on 3rd and short.
