Official PSU - Iowa Game Thread

[bdgan]

Win or lose, Iowa gets at least 2 losses

Against who?

 

[m.knox]

IF Clifford cannot play second half, give Roberson one or two more series and then if he still looks like he is playing football for the first time in his life, give Veilleux a shot. He just might surprise.

​

At this point, why not...............

 

[GregInPitt]

All of a sudden all the Clifford haters want him in the game.
Backup they demanded will settle but can he win if no Clifford.

I've never heard "hate" here on Clifford.

Last season many here just wanted him to play better. That's what fans do in football when their QB becomes a turnover machine.

Clifford's been a new man this season, and a fan favorite.

Roberson can throw the Bubble. Give him some run pass looks. If they blitz, hit the open man. They can't cover everybody and maintain two deep.

Also, our QBs all lead the WR too far. Shorten that throw. Let Dotson have a chance to make the play.

 

[paws1957]

People seem to be a little testy here now! Lol

 

[AWS1022]

The defense is handling the #3 offense with ease. I’d settle for someone who can get the ball to midfield then punt right now.

Why would we think the third string guy could do that when the second string guy can’t? There’s a reason he’s third string.

Have a feeling PSU will be actively looking for a QB in portal next year. They need a 2 year starter to bridge the gap till Allar is ready.

Clifford could return.

 

[TheGLOV]

I told you CJF said: "Where's #2? Is he in the bathroom!"

I can read lips in Iowa all the way from out here in Wyoming!!

 

[tlbakernc]

Shut them out in 2nd half or give up just a couple FGs.

With our best DT out Iowa is now in position to run the ball in 2nd half. That’s not a good combination.

 

[PennSt8er]

Against who?

B1G title game and bowl game for starters

 

[The Song Remains the Same]

Against who?

Right, they play in a pathetic division. Pathetic, year after year.

 

[TheGLOV]

I’d bench Roberson for Veilleux. No way he plays any worse…

Agree.

 

[NittPicker]

I’m going to cut Roberson some slack. He was thrown into a tough situation. If Cliff is out, Roberson will have all of halftime to get on the same page. We get the ball to start the half.

 

[NittanyChris]

Can the D pitch a shutout in the second half? The Iowa offense is horrible.

Also Ellies (91) is out...or did he return?

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

What’s he supposed to do, put a gun to Levis’s head? Good lord.

No, his recruiting sucked at the position and he failed to bring in a competent transfer. That’s on the coach, there is no GM to blame.

Let’s hope so. They would definitely have to change the plan for him though I would think?

 

[slykens]

Can the D pitch a shutout in the second half? The Iowa offense is horrible.

It can if there are no short fields.

 

[ryoder1]

Problem is Iowa's secondary intercepts everything in the zip code so we are a turnover waiting to happen with these backups.

 

[bdgan]

D would have a better chance with Mustipher and Ellies.

 

[udsig91]

Win or lose, Iowa gets at least 2 losses

No they don’t, the only decent team they play is Wisky

the coaches should not have had him passing

 

[AWS1022]

No, his recruiting sucked at the position and he failed to bring in a competent transfer. That’s on the coach, there is no gym to blame

Not when there isn’t a competent transfer to bring in or one that wants to come.

 

[paws1957]

Cliff is out

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Cliff in street clothes on the sideline to start the 2nd half.

 

[m.knox]

People seem to be a little testy here now! Lol

Yeah, that will happen when you lose starters.............

 

[PennSt8er]

No they don’t, the only decent team they play is Wisky

Post season Ls too

 

[slykens]

No Clifford

 

[tlbakernc]

Clifford is out!

 

[fastlax16]

OU brought in their freshman qb today and he looked like a world beater...ours can't get a clean snap or solid throw in yr 3. Coaching

 

[Nittany_93]

Question with Roberson is whether it's nerves or talent. We'll find out in the second half

 

[AvgUser]

this is the play where the Iowa WR (Jones) hit the pylon with his hand while in the air

View embedded media

I’ve figured it out. O’Neill and crew live in a different universe in which the laws of physics are different than here on earth. That was incontrovertible evidence for most of us that the ball was behind the goal line

 

[NittanyChris]

Damn.

 

[ryoder1]

This is a horrible break for us.

 

[fastlax16]

PSU has a good enough defense

Not if we can’t gain any yards on offense.

 

[paws1957]

Okay Roberson let’s do something good!

 

[tlbakernc]

Eff it all!!!

 

[NittanyChris]

Well as long as he’s back for Ohio State, this game does not matter.

 

[mcruny42]

Need to find a way to get some first downs, hopefully get a FG and let's ride the D to a victory
