Official PSU - Northwestern Game Thread

[Phil's Rug]

Clearly down

 

[mrtailgate]

Take your time to allow a review. Dumb.

Stevens doing his Barkley impersonation....trying to hurdle the line and then almost bounces for the TD

 

[katchthis]

Might be better off with Steven's speed in the RPO. Trace might be a little dinged. He doesn't seem to have the quickness you usually see from him. Plus as you all know, 2nd team QB is always the best player on the team.

 

[Eric_M]

Spot was wrong, but they didn't correct that.

 

[ftlpsu]

Hmm...some different looks this half, so that Michigan will need practice for?

 

[Phil's Rug]

Barkley over the top!

 

[BUCKSCOUNTYLION]

This replay is a joke! Three in a row! Ridiculous!

 

[PennSt8er]

You gotta believe SB is gonna break a big run soon.

 

[harjeff]

This replay is a joke! Three in a row! Ridiculous!

....and all 3 were pretty clearly called correctly in real time.....not sure why the replay on them.

 

[AWS1022]

This replay is a joke! Three in a row! Ridiculous!

And none of them were even close.

I think he's faster, stronger, and more elusive to be honest. Trace is making his hay today throwing, RPO with him running is horrible.

Stevens on 3rd and short for sure.

When you have the best RB in the nation and this is our running game, it’s a scheme problem.

 

[Phil's Rug]

LETS GO D

 

[Nitwit]

McSorely is having s great day passing and we're up 17. Don't be calling for Stevens except as used in goal line situations. Defense is stellar today.

 

[PSUcup1]

Ok. Now let's put this away

 

[AvgPennStateFan]

For the Love of Pete.. When you blitz three, you've got to get home

Agree, but there is an old phrase that says "pass to score, run to win." Keep throwing it and 26 will get a big one soon enough.

 

[HazletonLion]

They're all futzed up with Tommy on the goal line package, triple threat.

 

[Phil's Rug]

Cluster F in the backfield

 

[PSUcup1]

Sigh.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

That's the way to take advantage of the wind at your back.

 

[ftlpsu]

Yeah that play to Stevens is for Michigan..

 

[PSU87]

Cluster F in the backfield

This offense might not get Barkley the Heisman, but it might get him killed....

 

[bxle]

Targeting

 

[83wuzme]

Dirty #42

 

[uhlerlion]

We are two halves away from playing Michigan...the team that charts tendencies as well as Alabama.

Tendencies be damned in two weeks.

Settle down!

But at some point you got to be able to execute/ block on the plays you run today and they aint doin it now!!! despite whatever type of play it is

so what miracle play call package is gonna make the line all of a sudden play better in the 2 halves from now??

I don't buy your tendency argument especially since what they are running now is no different that what they ran last year

 

[supermatt24]

This is clearly Northwestern vs. Saquon Barkley on defense...I've never seen a team sell out more to stop one player

 

[PSU87]

That was a dirty play.....for sure.

 

[AWS1022]

That's the definition of targeting.

 

[step.eng69]

Freaking anouncers don't they understand "leading with the head"

 

[mrtailgate]

Zero awareness.

 

[PSUcup1]

Pathetic

 

[Nittanyfarmer]

"sigh" can someone give TM a GoPro cam to help him see the backside blitz?

 

[bxle]

More great punting.

 

[NittanyChris]

Targeting is a stupid rule. I was an LB in HS. Seems like every rule change favors offense over defense. Flag football is coming soon.

WE ARE!!!!!

 

[Phil's Rug]

 

[PSU87]

Zero awareness.

Biggest disappointment to me. Last year he had unbelievable pocket presence...this year, step back for sure.
