Big win last night. Thoughts and/or observations? Did anyone on this board go to the game?
OT: PSU Football
- Thread starter pawrestlersintn
- Start date
I was impressed at how they shut down Jeanty. The guy is the real deal and it took a few PSU players to bring him down seemingly every play.
The play calling from AK was head scratching at times and Sal Wormley really hurt the offensive rhythm with the stupid penalties he made.
The officials seemed to just let them play for the most part.
I wasn’t a fan of DDS laying out Jeanty after the pick. Completely unnecessary.
The BSU player eating sh*t on the run out was hilarious

Great win for PSU. Like everyone probably thinks, the play calling was suspect. Too few rushing attempts. We were gashing them almost every single time. Super impressed with how they negated Jeanty (which is most of their offense). They were able to stack the box every play because our CBs could be trusted to limit the damage in zone.
Echo the above, huge props to Kaytron Allen, and awesome TD run by Singleton. Allar was inconsistent, but his TD passes were beautifully thrown.
I loved how they shut down Jeantry, reminded me of D’s of old when we shut down Heisman winners like Walker and Allen!

Typical PSU football game, always seems harder than it has to be. Survive and advance, on to the semis.
we let them in the game by trying to get to cute with play calls. Clearly Allen was the horse and we should have rode him (what a game he had!). Think Drew was out played a bit. Wish he wouldn't underthrow his deep balls as much as he does. Hope Carter is OK - good game without him. Regardless - beat a very good team with a hell of a RB. He'll be heard from in the pro's
For as much as I want to choke out Franklin on a weekly basis, he has the team into the semis. That's better than 130 other schools, so I have to give him credit.
That game should have been over at half time. But questionable play calling and the fumble let BSU hang around much longer than they should have.
I'm impressed they bottled Jeanty up as well as they did. He took a pretty big beating.
I'm sure the trainers and therapists for both teams are quite busy today.
They need Trainer Dan Monthley!
don't know what the coaches are thinking sometimes 3rd and 1 pass when they were running wild on Boise!no need to pass when they are running this welll!
I was there. Great day from start to finish.
Penn State had a solid game. Hopefully the injuries aren't serious.
The last quarter+ of the Peach Bowl was very entertaining. Rose Bowl = ouch!

I talked with a Boise lady at breakfast this morning ... she said Boise brought 32k fans. I thought it had to be more. Definitely at least 60:40 Boise I would say, and they were loud.
Today I watched the second half of the ASU-TX game in the Coach House in Scottsdale with mostly ASU fans ... that second half was so fun, thought ASU had the W in OT
Thought they had it, but you have to cover those receivers on 4th and long.
I also thought they were sitting pretty after the targeting play. I went to the kitchen to grab a hot dog and something to drink. I came back into the TV room and found out the Big10 crew didn't know know the rule.
The targeting rule, or the "whatever benefits Ohio State or Michigan" rule?
I hear you, but they covered the spread in the playoff quarterfinals in a de facto away game. PSU was in control from the first drive. It was about as stress-free as you could ask for with a spot in semifinals on the line.
Said this during the game as well.. That guy seems to have Mr Miyagi magic in his hands..
They had all out pressure on 4th and 13 after they got to 4th and 13 playing straight up. Why change at that point? To make it worse, they didn’t even get close to Ewers as the Texas line had them stonewalled.
Every football rule reads that way in the Big10 rule book. That all by itself made me wonder what they were doing. ASU most likely can't play with OSU. Texas is big enough and athletic enough to hang with the nature nuts.
Cael and Co are wizards, but I have always said that Trainer Dan Monthley (always full title and name, lol) and Bonnie Epstein are secret weapons that are often overlooked by other teams. At the Michigan Dual last season I had the opportunity to meet both of them. Highlights of the trip, ranking right up there with watching the Civil War veteran step out on the mat and get beat by his 12 year old grand son.
This year is the first year that we’ve had a REAL football playoff tournament. I think it’s pretty cool that Penn State is one of the four teams to make the semifinals and maybe more to come after that. Being the head coach for a major college team is a tough job and Franklin takes a lot of heat. But I think he’s earned his paycheck this year.
Allar threw at least 3 beautiful balls that were dropped. Two of them were in the end zone.
So far this game it looks like Terry Brands was Drew Allar's QB Coach.
No. If so they would have practiced throwing.
Love that the shot of the crowd showed a PSU Wrestling shirt!
Also, it's a good thing y'all are here. PSU is running all over the place this drive!
I saw a shot of AK checking this forum for advice.
