Official PSU - USC Rose Bowl Game Thread

[PennStateNate]

So seriously,do any of you hate this game? I mean every time there is a high scoring game someone complains about no defense.

This is why I love offense. This game is great and exciting. I can't stand low scoring games.

 

[fkkkjm]

cameron brown is NOT ready. No hate on the kid, but he's lost

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Barkley on the KO return. Interesting.

 

[Obliviax]

me no likey call to put Barkley back there.....we need him to be fresh.

 

[Jodok]

Where was Cabinda on the last drive?

We Are ...

a little ticked we didn't get into the CFB, happy to be playing in Pasadena, out in huge numbers for the game, and ready to rumble to victory. Keith Jackson is in the house, so we have great memories of him calling PSU games and college football games, and great memories of Ki-Jana's run at the start of the 1995 Rose Bowl. This team has come so far since September, and we look forward to seeing a continuation of the improvement, and to celebrating a victory ...

never heard herbie make excuses like that before...never

 

[Phil's Rug]

Need this 1st down, Come on Offense

 

[masterbaker65]

Oh crap! We need to score here.

 

[Obliviax]

wow...wide open

 

[Phil's Rug]

COME ON DEFENSE

 

[PSUcup1]

Let's go Defense

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Big defensive stand here!!!!!!

 

[Obliviax]

Gilikan averaging almost 50 yards per punt

 

[fkkkjm]

Herbie really acting a bit out of character. Got really defensive about Franklin wanting the push off.

 

[psuflyguy]

Aside from a turnover, a three and out is what we didn't need.

 

[masterbaker65]

Deeply worried! Hope our D can give us one more good series.

 

[rudedude]

Time for a nice ripe turnover

 

[bdgan]

Only 1 throw to Gesicki

 

[Obliviax]

when does the game start?

 

[Manxome_Lion]

Where's the running game? Ughhhh. Come on D!

 

[Safety Blitz]

Might be first team to 50 wins.

 

[psualt]

Feels like this drive is the game. Need to break the momentum on a 3 and out.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

bad O series for PSU. Needed to chew up clock AND get a score. Run on 1st down was a RPO that just did not work for 1 yard. On 2nd down, seems Trace couldn't find a primary receiver, and then hurled it to Tompkins on the sideline for 1 yard gain. Then on 3rd down, SC brought the house, and Trace had to throw early -- unfortunate, as Godwin was open if the ball was delivered accurately.

We've got to get to the QB and get the sacks. We're getting close and he's getting these miracles off.

 

[Grant Green]

Need a big sack

 

[Judge Smails]

zer0SU

 

[Norm Petersin]

Herbie is rally out of line. Gisecki pushed off in 2nd qtr so we r even

 

[Obliviax]

Where's the running game? Ughhhh. Come on D!

that's why I didn't like Barkley returning the kick....nothing like running a 35 yard gasser after gaining 180 yards rushing and before an important possession

 

[Phil's Rug]

Bell back on the sideline with his arm in a sling

 

[Phil's Rug]

Come on D

 

[masterbaker65]

Come on D.

 

[fkkkjm]

Cabinda playing like a grown man

 

[Obliviax]

darnold with 400 yards passing so far

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Only 1 throw to Gesicki

most plays to him take some time to develop, and Trace isn't getting a lot of time. He's also being used to block a lot. Might set him up very nicely to be used late in the game.

 

[Phil's Rug]

3rd and 16...

 

[ftlpsu]

Now if we can't stop this..then we are in trouble...

 

[Phil's Rug]

4th and 10, USC punting

 

[masterbaker65]

D came up big!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

nice stop D!!!!
