Official PSU - MSU Game Thread

Yeah dingle berry, it's all on Trace. He did an awful job covering the MSU Wr's and an even worse job run blocking not to mention his poor pass rushing effort. Keep Stevens sack moist, it's what you do best.

hi Guns!!

I luv you man even when the rest of the board doesn't.

Now, take off those lil blue and white colored sunglasses sir.

And stop eating Mama McSorley's cupcakes
 
These are two extremely tough losses. Can’t remember a season like this.
 
Trace had a very very ave game today. He missed throwing to a WIDE OPEN SB at least 6-8 times today....had a couple poor throws on interceptions....had a terrible intentional grounding play.....passed up a few opportunities to run for 5-7 yds to make poor throws....really seemed to put extra zip on his last throw when he didn’t have to throw it that hard.

He’s a competitor and he’s got spunk.....but he was very very ave today. We needed him to be good today.

Trace is a home run hitter who hits into a lot of double plays. Great deep ball thrower , needs to be more accurate on the short pass

He completely ignored Sanders on a wide-open wheel route that, if completed, would have put PSU up 21-7 before the weather delay. IMHO Trace was “below average” today.

His accuracy and decision making has been off all year. If the McSorely of 2nd half of last year shows up vs OSU and MSU, we're still undefeated.

If I may respectfully add my thoughts on this year's football team. I believe two things hurt the football team.

1. Offensive ideology
Franklin changing the offense to an exciting and dynamic power spread makes for an exciting brand of football. Unfortunately, it requires tremendous depth because of all the moving parts. In my humble opinion Paterno's teams had ferocious defenses and very good offenses. The only exception may have been the 1994 where the offense was better than the defense. However his championship teams win or lose always focused on stopping opposing offenses and then grinding out a victory, a formula that worked.

2. NCAA Scholarship Ruling
This stymied Penn States depth and in my honest opinion hurt Penn State both last year and this year. However, there's a silver lining to this story because Franklin is making tremendous strides in recruiting. Next year I believe that from a talent perspective athletes from your 1st and 2nd team will be almost interchangeable.
