Football Penn State cruises the country roads to a 34-12 win over West Virginia
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Probably but we should be trying to establish the run. This is one of the weaker secondaries we're going to face. We need balance.
Tought to bitch about a 20-6 lead in Morgantown with 3 of the 6 WVU points scored by their officials, but 49 yards rushing against WVU in the first half won't translate well to the B10....

I remember a game where we were dominating Michigan in the first half because of our pass rush. They made halftime adjustments and went to quick release passes. We kept blitzing to no avail and were lucky to hang on for the win.
Carter struggling @ DE. Needs to calm down and quit rushing himself past the play.
No argument there. But the O at least looks functional and improved from last year's edition. We found some long-lost explosiveness.
Let's see if success throwing the ball might loosen things up a bit for the running game.
I’m sure they will start double teaming Wallace…if they do, we need to get Warren involved.
I’m having flashbacks of the Michigan State game.
I hope we see a more imaginative and successful running game in the second half. I've been hoping for more imagination running the ball for years.
I was just thinking the same. Wallace is having a fantastic game, will he fade through the season.
Bummer but gives the defense much needed test. Hopefully they can get some great review of WVU plays from 1st half and make adjustments. Allen needs to hammer home tackling low and wrapping up. Also need to emphasize outside contain against the run. DL & LBs got stuck in traffic too many times.
I just looked at radar. It may be later than 5........ Storms and lots of them.
The first half could have easily gone the other way.
- WVa fumble after taking over deep in our territory.
- Pribula run could have been called a fumble.
- Allar sideline pass could have been a pick 6.
- Evans could have been called for pushing off.
Agree. Let's see this during B1G play. That said, Allar definitely seems more vocal and more at ease than last year.
My meteorologist wife says around 45 minutes so who knows.
Temerie Robison was down after the last kickoff. Did he walk off? Could you tell what the injury was?
He is a big talent that should get serious playing time this year.
Stupid announcers never said a word.
I keep seeing show ignored content then I realized I ignored Lando 😂
So, if every single thing possible went against us then...it might be a battle?
We can also look at the multiple bounces and calls that went WVU's way or it could be even a larger margin
That's true, but those are "pressures" and they make the QB make early decisions. I have no doubt that Carter will have his share of splash sacks this season.
They walked him off the field after he came out of the tent. The announcers made a comment that made it seem like they didn’t expect him to be back the rest of the day.
Dude, come on. Running the ball is about kicking ass not “imagination”. We have arguably the most “imaginative” OC in college football and we still bitch.
I think you're referring to the RB from WVU. He's asking about Robinson.
We were explosive vs WVa last year. Let's see if we can sustain it.
JF even alluded to it with the subtext of his halftime comments about needing to sustain drives better...aka our running game needs to be better. I just don't get what happened after 2022 when Nick and Kaytron looked quicker and more dynamic. Both are heavy legged and lack the spark.
