Football Penn State earns victory No. 5, defeating Big Ten newcomer UCLA on Saturday

[scrivener]

Despite the hold...our deep ball pass game isn't very good.

 

[bdroc]

That blitz by Reed was the same call where UCLA nearly converted a 2nd and long. High risk high reward. Can we afford to do that against Miller Moss (w/o Winston)

It only confuses you apparently. Read it again

“Effective immediately, the Big Ten has been approved by the NCAA to implement a modified officiating mechanic that will allow the conference to change the manner in which it officiates onside kicks by positioning the Line Judge and Head Line-Judge on the kicking team’s restraining line, thereby putting multiple officials in the best position to consistently make the correct judgment."

Read it again. The goal of the change is to make the CORRECT judgment.

 

[LandoComando]

Their statement implies that they did not make the correct call

No, it doesn't. That's your interpretation of it

Correct--read it again--all of it--every word of it.

Questionable to bad call benefits Penn State. Lando, of course, thinks the call was great and 100% correct.

 

[GregInPitt]

Defense is focusing on Katron. Get the ball in someone else's hands!!!!

Yeah, it's fine--no problem with it. Calls help and hurt every team
You must think it's a conspiracy to help us

On the 2nd of those runs it looked like Allar should have kept the ball and walked in to the left. Allar should be keeping the ball on those plays once or twice a half.

Just did the same thing in the red zone this series.

Where did power run go? Went with the old hand it to RB standing still thing

 

[scrivener]

Glad we kicked to test our new kicker...I have no doubt JF was dying to go for it

 

[psu00]

We have a good FG!!

 

[m.knox]

Correct--read it again--all of it--every word of it.

I did. They want to make the correct judgment moving forward. They don't want to have the same mistake happen again.

 

[lazydave841]

Saunders catches the ball, that is all I can say about his punt returning, there was a lot there if he could make 1 guy miss.

Zion Tracy on that return.

 

[GSPMax]

Why are people not following this. It was stated game by game is called fair therefore why do you care about all of this if you're admitting the game is called fair
One occurred and it was called--no issues

You have a reading comprehension problem. And a habit of talking in word salad. Put your interpeter on.

 

[ram2020]

Zion Tracy on that return.

Hes a lot like saunders... thanks

 

[b&w1987]

Successful Field goal !!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry

 

[m.knox]

lol--the game was called fair which is all that matters
I don't know why I'm shocked my stalkers can't follow a paragraph

If 20 people are telling you you're wrong, they probably have a point. Did that ever occur to you?

Unbalanced line on one and Shelton got beat by the LB convert to DE Klatt keeps hyping. Tight formation on the other with no threat to pass. Some of those calls need audibled out of.

 

[ryoder1]

Anothet series in deep red zone with lousy running plays on first and second down that go nowhere. Last series we got the TD on 3rd down but have to settle for FG here.

 

[bdroc]

We have fans who are making comments like "not playing like a 5*" and "Allar doesn't have IT" on a day he's 10/14 with 1, perhaps 2 drops.

Every incomplete pass = you would think he threw a pick 6.

He isn't flawless, but good grief it's painful reading. Some of these people obviously don't watch any other football or just don't criticize other teams the same.

What did you think of the INT that was called back for mystery holding?

 

[LandoComando]

What did you think of the INT that was called back for mystery holding?

He took a rare risk that didn't pay off
Not the worst thing

 

[GregInPitt]

Zion Tracy on that return.

Tracy or Saunders, the block was set for the returner to cut up the field. Not take the long way around the end. If that was Tracy, then I'm ready for Denmark because Tracy doesn't seem to have the running skills to return punts either.

 

[Nostraduzzi]

They were--the photo and the replay shows that. The Big Ten statement reinforced it.
Not sure why you're all still worried about a game that didn't impact us but...

I’m not. It’s fun messing with the cerebrally challenged, like yourself.

 

[ryoder1]

Klatt ripping refs and rightfully so. Rojas gets away with hold. Impacted UCLA drive.

 

[Jerry]

Haha! Joel is complaining that the zebras are cutting us some breaks. Don't worry, Joel, they'll make up for it down the road.

 

[bdroc]

Klatt is correct. PSU got a few very favorable calls

 

[LandoComando]

Klatt is correct. PSU got a few very favorable calls

Which is true of every team from time to time.

Excellent points...no doubt.

 

[ryoder1]

Saunders can't make anyone miss. Maybe that is why they tell him to just fair catch it all the time.

 

[knickslions]

What did you think of the INT that was called back for mystery holding?

He held him out of break. The reply focused on after that

 

[bdroc]

Is that Saunders or Tracy returning punts?

 

[AWS1022]

Klatt ripping refs and rightfully so. Rojas gets away with hold. Impacted UCLA drive.

That wasn’t even the receiver the ball was thrown to. Did Klatt just complain about the offensive player that literally was holding on to Reed’s foot when he was trying to get to the QB and no call?

 

[bdroc]

He held him out of break. The reply focused on after that

Hardly

 

[AWS1022]

He held him out of break. The reply focused on after that

He hugged him like a long lost family member…..apparently that’s legal these days.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Klatt is so f'ing lame - on that last sack both #11 and #1 were outright tackled from behind below the waist by UCLA OL - blatant holding twice over, not a word from Klatt.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Glad the coaches are doing an in-game tryout. Perhaps Chase Meyer will also have an opportunity. If I was coaching I would still allow Sander to kick PATs. He's 100% kicking PATs.

Barkers kick was nice and high and right down the middle.

 

[Nostraduzzi]

Agreed there for sure

A player is injured and doesn’t play as a result. The type of injury and prognosis is none of your concern. Move on and get over it. Bunch of entitled piss babies feel the need to know everything because they donate, buy tickets, etc.

 

[lazydave841]

What did you think of the INT that was called back for mystery holding?

I'm assuming they called it for the CB getting in front of Evans earlier in the route (if before out of the QBs hands, it's holding, after PI).

I'm not sure it was mysterious, but definitely ticky tacky for an arm punt.

 

[berklion]

They act like they never did a UM or tO$U game.

 

[knickslions]

Hardly

Watch the whole play.
