Official PSU - Iowa Game Thread

[mn78psu83]

Half of you guys wanted him to start this year

That is true.

 

[fastlax16]

The shame of it all is that a semi composed O that could at least manage a few first downs and not go backwards on multiple series is likely enough to escape with a W

Heck a team that could just get snaps off might have been.

 

[canuckhal]

You know, it might be best for this board to go away at end of month. Might get uglier on here.

 

[paws1957]

Almost threw another pick!

 

[kgilbert78]

Who says they won't lose to us by 40 in the championship

We're not going. Let's be real.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Final should be 23-20, Iowa.

Disappointing, to say the least.

 

[ftlpsu]

Game ball goes to whoever injured Clifford, regardless of whoever the announcers annoint...

Perhaps, but that is why Allar and Pribula are so important to the near-term success of the program.

btw, CJF would be absolutely roasted if PSU took knees like that with time still on the clock.

Nope…what I would have suggested as Game Management coach😂

They’ll lose to the Buckeyes by 40. Annual tradition for the big ten west

 

[Locolion]

I wish anyone on our offense would have stepped up…offensive line was a joke with false starts, dropped passes by TE and WR….may not have been great passes but when you have a new QB someone has to help him out and make a play.

Tale of 2 halves. We figured out a way to botch that game. Some missed tackles, missed catches, bad throws, 1000 penalties, 200 interceptions. .Seemed we had it nearby in the bag. The Iowa punter is a superstar. Oh well.

And their punter. That dude is unreal.

 

[mn78psu83]

The entire O lost its composure. It was a systemic collapse on O. How many false starts?

 

[BW Lion]

wow QB 2 is bad

His head coach is worse...no excuses for having a back-up player this bad.

 

[KC-KS-Lion]

Yep!!!

Part of me puts this on the O-line coach...I'm sure he'll have this covered for the next game.

Agreed. Bone head move by iowa

 

[CoolBean]

well, at least we are not losing next week

 

[PSU_Chicago]

The last half of O I have seen as bad as this was 6-4 game.

 

[AWS1022]

How many Blue chippers you got?

You certainly don’t have any on your offense.

 

[BobPSU92]

Like Wayne’s World, “Let’s do the 2017 mega happy ending.” I liked that one better.

 

[PSUcup1]

i don't think any of his receivers helped him, which didn't get him into any kind or rhythm or confidence passing..defense ran out of gas and made one big mistake...if it takes knocking out a hot QB, and leveraging noise against a very inexperienced backup QB, I can live with that. Penn State would beat this team if both didn't happen 7 out of 10 times.

His receivers nor his coaches helped him at all

And you needed your defense to step up and win a game. And they didn’t

 

[TheGLOV]

And their punter. That dude is unreal.

that is why Allar and Pribula are so important to the near-term success of the program.

And, I'd like to add, how so important a very good O-Line is to the success of the program.

 

[Petch]

PUNT THE BALL!!!!

4 minutes left…3 TOs…Joe is rolling in his grave.

 

[psuflyguy]

Pity. State wins by 10-20 if Clifford plays the entire game. I’m happy for the win if I’m an Iowa fan, but you’d have to be delusional to think Iowa is the better team.

 

[ram2020]

How many Blue chippers you got?

Like seriously, I like to root for teams that beat us with the exception of OSU and Michigan, but your team really is bad.

 

[canuckhal]

Shot and a beer chaser on deck.

Good one Bob👍

 

[psu2016]

This Iowa team is garbage. They should actually drop in the polls after this horrible effort.

Actually pathetic. That defense is worse than Wisconsin and auburn

 

[AWS1022]

They’re delusional.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Did we set a record for consecutive false starts? Yurcich needs to change the cadence/trigger with Roberson in the off week.

 

[BW Lion]

Who says they won't lose to us by 40 in the championship

Not happening... Cliff is done for most of the remainder of the season..

 

[psu2016]

We were boat racing this team until Clifford went down. They’ll win the west and get crushed by whoever wins the east.

OSU 52 - Iowa 14

 

[AvgUser]

Betcha a dollar Iowa loses within next two weeks

 

[PennSt8er]

Roberson is the perhaps the worst PSU QB I have seen since Dayle Tate, or maybe Matt Seneca.

Anthony Morelli

 

[basic blues]

If I hear one excuse from Franklin….other than we as coaches did not do our job I’m done. No excuse for that type of performance after Clifford went down. We go hurry up on offense and throw our gassed D right back out in the field. We still can’t run the ball for sh!t, we do t let our backup QB throw the ball in blowouts so he might be ready if needed. This one is squarely on the coaches.

 

[BW Lion]

We need to get Vellieux out of the Doghouse.

 

[kgilbert78]

A lot depends on Clifford. If he's out, we likely lose 2-3 more. That may happen even if he plays. It's a tight conference this season.

 

[HazletonLion]

I hope Drew enrolls early.

 

[lazydave841]

The shame of it all is that a semi composed O that could at least manage a few first downs and not go backwards on multiple series is likely enough to escape with a W

Baby Ferentz beat us on that first down play action TD coming off the punt. We can point to the offense becoming unable to even get a snap off. You can mention the injury. That was the play that ended the game.

You can say we should have brought in a portal QB, but I don't remember one being in the portal who could pick apart this defense.

This is tough, but growable.

 

[bkmtnittany1]

Kinzer!

 

[canuckhal]

Because the backup in in Kentucky

And others left as well. Guess he was the back-up by default.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Did anyone hear details on the injury?
