Football Penn State Football defeats Northwestern on Saturday afternoon
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Didn't seem like Allen was too bad, hopefully he's ok in 3 weeks. It's JB Nelson about whom I'm concerned.
Maybe an NFL Hall of Famer. Cephus needs to improve but you can't dog him for that play.
Coming to the conclusion that this is how the offense is going to look. May be our best chance to beat the top teams. Grind it out!
I did not watch the game. Don't have cable. I read J.B. Nelson was carted off the field in the first half. Did he return to the sidelines. That would be another huge hit to the OL with Tangwell already medically retiring.
He didn't return. It definitely will put them in a situation. Wander who the next man up will be? At least they have a couple weeks to figure some things out.
I would think Vega would be in that spot. They need to sit Wallace. Shelton should be playing RT. Wallace gets beat an awful lot for as much as he has played.
think you saw him today. can't spell or pronounce his name. thought it might be shelton. he played there some last year, but i guess he's too busy covering for wallace. bryce would look pretty good about now.
right now none of us know what franklin is trying to accomplish in these first 6 games..obviously you want a W, but we don't seem to be showing much in our running game. Singleton might be too heavy..he called himself out quite a few times today and the temp was 73 degrees....
opponents are watching our game film..they were ready for the QB sneaks and for our T formation play (not for the pass of it though)
Looked like allar and cephas were on the wrong playbooks today.
Not necessarily Allar's day, but hey, I have good and bad days at golf too!!
I'll take a 41-13 road game as a bad day EVERYDAY. They will never satisfy all of us. Just win baby...
QB Sneak from 4 yards out was a weird call. It got 2 yards, so, chalk it to strange.
Singleton got stuffed at the 1. Positive yardage, but we would prefer he bulldoze that in.
The pass was with the T Formation personnel, but we didn't line up in the T on the pass TD to Singleton. We were strong right and Singleton was out like a Flanker. Then he motioned across before going out on the pass.
I was thinking to myself this week (but didn't post it here) that this looks like the best Penn State team I've seen since 1994. But nope. This team won't beat Ohio State because it just doesn't have enough offense going yet. Passing isn't developed and because of that, teams can focus on the run. They won't beat Ohio State or UM without more of a developed passing game.
What if Iowa just isn't very good? They were billed as the best D in the country but based on what? NW D-front looked tougher than Iowa's and Illinois was better too.
Anyway the schedule is good -- of all teams, this team will benefit from three weeks of practice and no pressure before they go to Columbus. This is where Franklin really earns his $10m or whatever he makes. They have to retool that OL and they have to get more of the offensive playbook practiced. They need medium range passes and deep passes. It is not clear to me they have the personnel to really do this, but we'll find out.

I just saw this during UGA auburn and was like "this is the live thread on the first run that only goes for 2 yards."
Nobody said they were perfect. They have just been better than us for a good while.
And we have almost beaten them every year for a good while. I know, we haven’t but this thought that we can’t compete with them is ridiculous.
Since when does almost count? We absolutely can beat them but until you do it consistently on the field skepticism is warranted.
I didn’t say we couldn’t compete either. I said we can’t spot them the first half. That goes for any good team we play.
But our defense can keep us in it or our defense could cause them to have a bad first half.
Not sure U agree. Kaytron runs better between the tackles. Hoeever. Nick runs better when going outsude and is a netter receiver. Both aere hAVING good but nit great years.
3.8 yards per attempt isn't exactly good in college. Have a very tough time with trying to claim Singleton is having a good year.
where's the symbol for getting down on my knees and bowing???
You earned a bow, my man.
