Official PSU - Wisconsin 2021 Game Thread

[SR108]

I don't think that was kick catch interference

Wasn’t

 

[RickinDayton]

Are we not not gunna run the ball?????

Why are we not running to the right side?

 

[psuno1]

Awful call

Great play

 

[RickinDayton]

Clifford will make plays if he gets time in the pocket. But under pressure he looks as shaky as he did last year.........

Agree. How do you overthrow your 6'6" TE?

 

[L.A.Lion]

A lot more leeway is given when the defender clearly alters the QB’s intent to throw the ball. I suspect it’s written out but I’ve never seen it called when the QB is hit like that.

From the 2021 NCAA rulebook: "Quarterback A10, who is not outside the tackle box and is attempting to save yardage, intentionally throws a desperation forward pass that falls incomplete where there is no eligible Team A receiver. RULING: Intentional grounding."

Looked to me like he was trying to get rid of the ball before the hit he saw coming. Perhaps it just wasn't quite as desperate as the officials felt it needed to be,

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

Tarburton, what was that?

 

[PrtLng Lion]

The ghost of Witvoet continues to haunt

 

[TN Lion]

Agree. How do you overthrow your 6'6" TE?

It went thru the TEs hands

 

[Harrisburg Dave]

Talk about JN some more

 

[RU31trap]

How do you miss that hold by the WISKY TE?

 

[Erial_Lion]

How so? He didn't arrive before the ball and they eliminated the halo rule a few years back, no?

You get one yard of protection. We were obviously within a yard.

 

[Beachwineguy]

Didn’t hurt that the defender grabbed his arm.

 

[Midnighter2]

Gotta take Brisker out if he's not GTG.

 

[psualt]

Brooks was mugged

 

[Erial_Lion]

What? No way.

You don’t think we were within one yard when he caught it?

 

[psualt]

You get one yard of protection. We were obviously within a yard.

Where’s the one yard come from? You can’t impeded the catch and he didn’t.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Where’s the one yard come from?

The NCAA Rule Book

 

[Beachwineguy]

Nice pick on our defender by the ump.

 

[ram2020]

Poor tackling and poor offensive line play are a staple of this team to begin seasons.

 

[83wuzme]

Hope Brisker is OK

 

[fastlax16]

How do you miss that hold by the WISKY TE?

Holding isn’t a penalty in the big 10. It’s a big reason for the conferences poor bowl record.

 

[Yboby]

3rd down screen pass should have been stopped for no gain. Wisky probably tries a FG in that situation.

 

[Midnighter2]

You get one yard of protection. We were obviously within a yard.

No they don't. He caught the ball and was unimpeded.

INDIANAPOLIS -- The NCAA Football Rules Committee has eliminated the 2-yard ''halo'' rule on punt returns.

Returners still must be given an unimpeded opportunity to catch the punt. The penalty for failing to do that or for contacting a player who has signaled for a fair catch will be 15 yards.

 

[RickinDayton]

It went thru the TEs hands

It was a poor throw.

 

[PSUcup1]

Blantant hold

 

[Midnighter2]

You don’t think we were within one yard when he caught it?

You don't get one yard. Not anymore.

 

[fkkkjm]

When is Brandon Smith going to make a 5 star play? Guy has done nothing the last 2 years.

 

[LionDeNittany]

No they don't. He caught the ball and was unimpeded.

Yes it was a BS call. Wasnt even close.

[grinagrin]

Hope Brisker is OK

Think he might be concussed

 

[LionsandBear]

By rule it wasn't a penalty. There's no halo. Contact before the ball arrives is the rule. Bad call.

 

[BiochemPSU]

Wisconsin hiding Mertz. Offense needs to swing field position and put some points on the board or we are going to be gassed by 4th quarter.

 

[Midnighter2]

Think he might be concussed

Did they say he had some muscle tightening? Cramps?

 

[psuno1]

So instead of 3 and 11 its first down. Big10 refs suck.

 

[LionDeNittany]

It was a poor throw.

Yes besides his arm being grabbed the throw forced the TE to leap sideways.

 

[GregInPitt]

Difference between Sutherland and Brisker making a tackle from the Safety position is about 10 yards, not in PSU's favor.....

 

[bdgan]

One 1st down
-3 yds rushing

 

[Madsol]

Did they say he had some muscle tightening? Cramps?

Took his helmet. Never a good sign.

 

[LionDeNittany]

Did they say he had some muscle tightening? Cramps?

Looked like a shoulder stinger / numb.

His arm was actoss his body and he was laying on it when someone landed on him.

Left shoulder.

[Nittanyfarmer]

Thank goodness the quarter is over. Wisconsin is oozing cockiness all over the field and we are pinching our butt@ holes tighter than Eric Barron holding a jar of his precious onion dip.

 

[ftlpsu]

We are over pursuing on defense….they picked up on that about six plays earlier and have since ran a few more misdirection run plays…smart and patient Christ is…
