Official PSU - tOSU 2020 Game Thread

This isn't fair.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Biggest disappoint so far this year is our OL. I really thought they were going to be spectacular this year. They can’t pass block, they can’t run block.

LBs for me but they’re young.

 

[katchthis]

OSU D seems really to have sniffed out what is going to happen on each play despite a new PSU OC.

 

[HazletonLion]

The Indiana loss really shows in this game, not a good effort.

 

[ncgolfer]

We used to say ”at least Franklin can recruit.” But after all these big game loses and a__ whippings that will dry up too. Call it “uncomplimentary” football.

 

[Zone-Blitz]

Why can’t we run a screen

like ever

I saw Rutgers run a successful screen today.
I mean, even F’n Rutgers can run a GD occasional screen

 

[84Lion]

Is there any possibility we try to run outside? At least try? This offense is so vanilla it is easy for a team like OSU to defend. You have to use some misdirection to get their athletes overplaying.

Not enough speed to make it work

 

[psudsl08]

Biggest disappointment is Ciarocca. No downfield game against Indy and then this crap

 

[okinburg1]

Why can’t we run a screen

like ever

Our O is too "cutting edge" for that crap

 

[BW Lion]

Should have been targeting on OSU 5

 

[Sooner Lion]

True

I think it is the offense. Put a FB in there and get a TB in there. Can't wait for the day Franklin is gone.

 

[ram2020]

We will never amount to anything until we get even a decent offensive line. They are so so so soft.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

This isn't fair.

Number of CFB teams who can win a Nc is shrinking - unless something changes, I’d say Bama, Clemson, OSU, LSU, Georgia and maybe Oklahoma can win it. And it’s largely recruiting.

 

[norcalion]

We are a young team with no established leaders. This is where Parsons hurt us.
and Probably JBrown

hang in there and see how we respond To mistake in missed FG

Not well

 

[dcf4psu]

Urban Meyer.

 

[b&w1987]

Who said, ‘it’s not the X’s and O’s, but the Jimmys and Joes...’?

Royal ... with cheese.

 

[HazletonLion]

LBs for me but they’re young.

That's why Parson's loss is so big, lbers are catching instead of attacking.

 

[Big 0]

Obviously Penn State was not hiding anything on offense from O$U in the Indiana game as some thought. The new OC’s offense is no better than Rahne’s.

 

[tlbakernc]

He’s making Ricky Rayne look like a great OC.

 

[uscgPSU]

So far tonight, there is nothing I’ve seen that shows PSU can even keep this game close. This RPO is hot garbage against this defense. I don’t mind losing if it’s respectable, but the team just looks totally unprepared and overmatched.

 

[RickinDayton]

We are so bad I'm not even mad. It's pretty obvious we haven't done much hitting in practice.

This team is probably the softest in Penn State history. Our linemen are being thrown around like little boys.

The team doesn't seem to have any heart. It is concerning. No heart equals no wins.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

sack, by Shelton

 

[okinburg1]

Wait, hold the phone. Does our D have a pulse???

 

[Chickenman Testa]

This is really amazing. Can't remember when a PSU team was this overmatched.

JoePa dark years had a lot of these - against teams not nearly as loaded as this OSU team

 

[ncgolfer]

Bring back JayPa. Could he be any worse?

 

[RickinDayton]

[lionroar88]

Shelton with a sack and immediately called to the sideline... wtf

Captain obvious—-of course it’s recruiting first and great coaching next

 

[BUFFALO LION]

How are we only down 14-3 ? Maybe Ohio State isn't as good as we are trying to make them look.

 

[BW Lion]

Ricky Rahne be likin this shyt

 

[Richard the LIONhearted]

I get the feeling that Franklin can't trust Ciroccia and the new offensive line coach. This is a disconnect

 

[ftlpsu]

So when they go Empty who is going to spy Fields? Cuz he is going to take off.

 

[1PSUfootball1]

Offense is just plain bad. Bad scheme and bad execution. But it’s consistent.

 

[BudatPSU]

“Rounding the corner” I tell you. Just wait you will see and it will be beautiful.

 

[bdgan]

Biggest disappointment is Ciarocca. No downfield game against Indy and then this crap

Where's Smith?

 

[map-#1]

1-Bogus roughing the passer call 2- Missed FG

 

[NCLION]

This is big
cant let them convert

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Right, but the gap is getting bigger. The top five teams are taking an enormous chunk of top prospects - not as spread out as before.

 

[CoolBean]

If they make this 3rd and 17.....

OK, he did not LOL

 

[ILLINOISLION]

No heart.....more like no pulse!
