A very frustrating first half.. PSU can switch out OC's like deck chairs on the Titanic, but it all ends the same.

Ford loses his shoe.....so what does he do?...He runs off the field and leaves his shoe laying on the field. Dah
Levi’s was 7 of 17 one TD one int. Not exactly great stats.
True, although I have to admit I thought the same thing. You left Hawaii and moved to Wisconsin???
Cheese aficionado?
No idea what we were going for there. I'm guessing we thought we might have a chance to hit a deep ball, big run called back for a hold, bigger run made a short 3rd down. Maybe Yurcich wanted to go, JF called it off?
Strange half…feels like it should be 28-0. D is playing lights out, and love that they’re running the ball MUCH better. Would like to see Clifford play a little more consistently in the 2nd half…see them pull away.
Huh, what? Your answer has ZERO to do with the question. The penalty was not called on Scruggs. The rule requirement for TE to change his position from a traditional TE into a Running Back (which is what a Flanker / H-Back is in that formation) is that he must line-up at least 1-yard off the LOS - rule says nothing about spacing relative to Tackle.
Offense needs help but is not self destructive like last year. Clifford’s only mistake was nullified by the D, fortunately.
Clifford is quickly regressing to his old self and just in time for the meat of the schedule. Oh joy.
PSU's offense, especially Clifford, would benefit from having #5 not in the game.
Nobody in the Bluegrass cares right now. Lol
Bourbon flowing. First win since the 80s vs Florida at home.
He almost exclusively focuses on #5....no TE's .....no #3. Clifford is a slow thinker...it shows under pressure.
Got ya, I understand the sure hands in catching under pressure, but the run after catching gives me the moment after being tackled…,
No kidding it wasn’t called on Scruggs. The point is he was as deep as Strange. Either way there is a penalty there because one can’t be in the backfield and a guy lined up just as deep be on the line.
I don’t know if I’d say he’s regressing. He’s clearly having an off night compared to earlier games.
They really need to drill into his head to get his feet set when he throws. He falls into the bad habit of throwing off balance or off his back foot too much.

Indiana doesn’t have the horses for this one. Psu defense is legit. we go as far as the offense goes.
Again, wonder how much we’re holding back on the playbook with Iowa next week.
One of my UK friends messaged me instantly. He's been asking about Levis since he was named starter. Ecstatic. He's just enjoying the ride.
What possible good would happen with our best player (Dotson) not playing?
Did I miss something??
I don’t think he’s regressing. He’s missed a couple throws, but still looks in control. Just a weird half. It’s almost like they don’t know what to do when they can move the ball on the ground.
Probably nothing. Clifford is off a bit but still not shooting the team in the foot.
And if Levis was playing for PSU like he’s been playing for UK, he would not be treated like a hero and would be getting destroyed…for that alone, he made the right move.
I’ll worry, thank you. This is eerily similar to prior season patterns. That 3rd and 1 toss over Dotson especially.
Or to take higher percentage reads when warranted. I doubt MY called that 3rd and 1 deep rainbow over Dotson as a primary read. This is a weak point in the RPO.
I am thrilled for both Kentucky and Levis. Wonderful that he got an opportunity and that something memorable happened.
A lot…this is the cat no pun intended playing with the mouse….only reason for no TEs, 3n1 deep fade etc..
Indiana is setting up similar to how Iowa will play us. I think we have to settle in those holes for some throws. Cliff has missed on about 4 tonight that were definitely 1st downs if he was accurate.
Positive news, the run game has life.
And the defense is excellent.
Agree….Ferentz is really good. I think the guy with the Psyche degree is playing shadow games cuz our Defense is allowing him. 😎
Where did I say it cost us a score???? It either was, or wasn't, a legal formation under the Rulebook and I'm pretty sure it was a legal formation as Strange converted himself into a RB (you can "Cover" a traditional TE lined up on LOS making them a OL, and an ineligible receiver, but you can't "Cover" a RB - a RB is ALWAYS an eligible receiver.). Yes, it does "Matter" if the b1g bozos have demonstrated yet again how they don't know the Rulebook and just f'ing make it up as they go along.
I don't see much changing in a week. I can't believe a switch gets flipped for this line and it all changes.
I don’t usually chime in during a game, however.
Third and one in first quarter and Clifford goes under center and hands off to a RB running down hill for first down.
Two other third and ones in first half, and pass. The last one a fade route when you are around 4 minutes remaining in half.
Imagine getting points before half and getting the ball to start second half. 🤷🏻♂️
I think it says volumes about the OL.
Just my halftime $0.02.
