Official PSU - Michigan Game Thread

[drpops]

Let’s try a different QB second half. McSorely us injured and playing like it.
Franklin: show some balls and make s change!

 

[Shadow99]

Love 9’s guts and what he means to the program, but if he isn’t healthy, he isn’t healthy

 

[Tom McAndrew]

YGM!

 

[grinagrin]

Why was clock stopped after sack?

Cuz our staff called timeout

 

[ftlpsu]

Great Hustle YGM! Ur hungree

 

[TheGLOV]

Is that enough separation for everyone???

Once out of 45 tries is not enough sir.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

9 makes that throw to 3 if healthy

He’s overthrown 9 of every 10 longer passes ALL YEAR LONG!

 

[PennSt8er]

That was fun.

 

[mn78psu83]

WTF. Did we call timeout on fourth and 17?

Yes. They called timeout to set up the touchback punt.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

and at the half, it's Michigan in the lead, 14-0.

ugh

 

[kevina001]

Trace has been Hackenberg-ian.

 

[TheGLOV]

Inexcusable pass by McSorely. Just lay it up there. Trace has done a lot for this program but I am so looking forward to a prototypical QB throwing the ball. You think Clifford overthrows that ball?

Tommy hits him on the dead-run.

 

[fastlax16]

I agree but how do you do that?

You tell tommy he is in...

 

[NCLION]

As bad as we have played
If the block TD stands and Trace hits that pass we are tied

We need to try a screen or something
I love Trace but he is hurt and off

It Stevens in for a few series

 

[I am Ironman]

Mcsorely.... absolutely awful...

 

[trz103]

Whether you think it’s right or not Trace is not coming out of this game unless it’s his decision.

Franklin will not do it. Stop talking about it

 

[mcgunns]

All you Mcsorley nut huggers. He
might be the biggest problem!!!!

After the last 2 years he earned the starting position in an 0-12 season.

 

[PennSt8er]

Except for a few plays, the D is playing better than I expected. The O is awful—and that’s on TM and Polk right now.

 

[Obliviax]

Yes. They called timeout to set up the touchback punt.

And give Michigan over a minute for their offense

 

[PSU_Chicago]

1st half offense non existent. Blocked FG penalty really hurt

 

[nits74]

McSorley killing us again. Easy TD and he badly overthrows.

Well, if you're going to compete your leader needs to make that play. As a team they just don't have what it takes to beat a decent team let alone a very good one.

 

[TheGLOV]

I agree but how do you do that?

You do that and no more cupcakes for the team from mama McSorley.

 

[novaclassof90]

Hate so say it but I think the 2nd half is going to be even more ugly. Mich is just a much better team right now. Based on stats, this thing could be 28-0 right now. 35-7 final, that's my guess. Would love to see a comeback but not seeing it. Trace is banged up, OLine is getting dominated, defense is going to break soon.

 

[loosey goosey]

It should be 14-7.And let's remember 42-13 last year.

 

[Lion1974]

That throw reminded me of Wally Richardson!

Wally never lost to Michigan.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

How many f'n Runyon's are there?

 

[2020 is Our Year]

Trace has been Hackenberg-ian.

Amazing how much a bad line and lack of weapons can hurt a QB

 

[Lion Lineage]

Stevens need to go in. If he’s not ready by now then put Clifford in. Trace doesn’t look all that mobile and being mobile is his game. He throws well on the run and struggles when he can sit i the pocket.

 

[MANASSASPSU]

McSorley is not a passer. That is the reason we were the only power 5 to offer him as a QB.
His success has been playing with Godwin, Barley and Geseki. Teams know this and stack the box.
He is a great leader and a gamer but against better talent his lack of passing skills haunt this team.

 

[Gnat91]

Penn State is going nowhere win or lose. You keep trace in this game. He's earned it.

 

[DeepColor]

Game very one sided so far.

 

[mcruny42]

Trace is hurt and off. The team deserves a chance to compete, put Stevens in. This isn't a slight at Trace, but he isnt super mobile due to the knee and is missing a few throws too.

 

[83wuzme]

3rd and 10 is lethal for this offense.1 - 5 on 3rd down.
No running game at all. No interest in running.
I don’t know that this offense can be fixed this year.

 

[fairgambit]

Michigan will score at least 14 in the 2nd half and we may not score at all.

 

[fkkkjm]

After the last 2 years he earned the starting position in an 0-12 season.

No - that is a great way to lose the team. Stupid stupid stupid.

 

[Lion Lineage]

Amazing how much a bad line and lack of weapons can hurt a QB

Traces bad throws aren’t the fault of the O-line.

 

[Omar81]

Missed easy TD. Fumble after blocked punt. Sliding half yard short of first down. Vintage McSorley and this would be a game

True — although I believ this IS the 2018 vintage.

 

[nits74]

And when it rains it pours. Let tommy play he second half. Trace isn’t healthy.

Perhaps, but health was not the reason for the overthrow. Where is the leadership this year? Make a play.

 

[No Name all Game]

Time for Trace to take a seat if he's a team player he knows that it's the right thing to do

 

[CoolBean]

At the Half, PSU 77yds UM 210yds
