Official PSU - USC Rose Bowl Game Thread

[MICH.Nit Fan]

I just don't see much of an answer for stopping this SC quarterback.

 

[psu00]

No defense

Defense really needs to step up here. They just keep letting USC score on every possession.

 

[Obliviax]

I don't think we are used to a QB throwing with this kind of velocity. Add in his ability to scramble and look downfield, and he's really special. We gave away too many possessions.

 

[Manxome_Lion]

Feed the RBs, eat clock, keep USC offense off the field, we can't afford 3 and outs on offense. Need to slow USC down

 

[RickinDayton]

USC has a lot of great playmakers.

Agree. Unfortunately, we're not getting any pressure on Darnold and their athletes are running wide open on pass routes.
Hopefully we can continue to score this game will quickly spral out if control.

FIGHT ON STATE!!!

 

[PSU1985]

That's not the reason we are getting embarrassed on defense. We have zero pass rush with the front four. Our blitzes are way too slow and easy to see coming. Need to send blitz up the guy as the tackles are washing everything out.

Thanks. The whining about holding on every, single play is beyond annoying.

USC QB better than some NFL starters

 

[PennStateNate]

We have them right where we want them.......

I don't know. This USC Team is a lot better then Ohio State and Wisky. Skill and speed everywhere.

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

I think PSU is going to have to try to "jam" the receivers right off the LOS to attempt to throw the timing of the pattern off... If Darnold keeps throwing the ball on the money like this, their secondary is just going to keep getting chewed up.

Can't..worried about being burned..I am the D.C. Not calling that coverage.

 

[Phil's Rug]

1st down Godwin

 

[Obliviax]

Where is Gesicki?

 

[bkmtnittany1]

I made a statement on selection Sunday that this would be the best team we played all year and that included OSU and UM...I got blasted for it....anyone wanna disagree now??? This team is legit with NFL talent and pure speed all over the place...

 

[nittanydave1]

#42 lines up offside on every play

 

[Obliviax]

Thomkins not used to this kind of team speed. You can't stand there a juke these guys.

 

[BUFFALO LION]

RUN FORWARD!!!!!

 

[ftlpsu]

This drive is good slow and controlled..rest defense

 

[baircub1!]

I do think the current USC if playing Bama again would give them a very very tough game...

 

[Phil's Rug]

Godwin over 100 yards

 

[AtlantaLion]

Yes, the D is winded already.

 

[Phil's Rug]

Barkley close to breaking some big runs on his last 2 carries

 

[Obliviax]

there was a hold on PSU not called there.

 

[scrivener]

Gaia is getting destroyed

 

[Phil's Rug]

1st down Godwin! One handed!

 

[Obliviax]

1st down Godwin! One handed!

man, he might come out to the NFL

 

[Phil's Rug]

Hell of a grab there

 

[AtlantaLion]

Did any receivers besides Godwin make the flight out to Pasadena?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

heck of a catch for the 1st down by Godwin

 

[harjeff]

Godwin is ridiculous

 

[Phil's Rug]

man, he might come out to the NFL

I hope not

 

[dtmdmd]

GREAT catch by Godwin!! Playing extremely well.

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

All I can say is that Godwin might have saved 15% on his car insurance, but he's definitely "making millions" with his performance today.

 

[dwiz]

Making up for Hack never throwing over the middle for 3 years.

 

[psuro]

Did any receivers besides Godwin make the flight out to Pasadena?

Let me call Jeff Nelson.

 

[Obliviax]

no hamilton, no Gesicki

 

[ftlpsu]

Need to score and hold...we will be fine...it's our half remember

 

[dwiz]

Let me call Jeff Nelson.

He'll check with the lawyers and get back to you on thurs.

 

[83wuzme]

The Bama team I watched Sat would have some trouble outscoring this USC passing offense.

 

[psu00]

Let me call Jeff Nelson.

I'm not sure Jeff Nelson has officially confirmed yet that Penn State is in the Rose Bowl.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

12 is having a helluva game!!
