Football Penn State smothers Boise State, Jeanty en route to 31-14 quarterfinals win

GET HYPED, PENN STATE PLAYS IN THE FIESTA BOWL TODAY!

📺: ESPN
⏰: 7:30pm ET
🏟️: State Farm Stadium
💰: Penn State -11.5pts

I look at that 11.5 and think it should be 20. If we play our best game it could be more than 20. But if we play early like we normally, do it could be dangerously close through 3 qtrs.

Because that game has nothing to do with today. It was at the beginning of the year. Furthermore, our run D is far better than Oregon's.
I hope you're right and I think a 20 pt win is possible. I just wouldn't bet on it.
 
Why do you expect PSU to beat Boise by 20 when Oregon needed special team TDs and a last second FG to beat them?
Because that was September and this is now...we're a far superior team. Doesn't mean we'll win but we should...with ease. Same with Texas tomorrow

The lack of wrapping up while tackling and getting out of lanes worries me a little.

I'm more worried about stupid trick plays killing drives. I know Franklin said he has plays to get Grunk into the game, but I have to think it's just to give BS something more to look at. I don't want to see Grunk in the game unless it's in mop up duty.
 
Defense needs to be tough early and stop the run game. No 1st downs on 3rd down and our offense needs a TD on the first possession.
 
Jenty is getting all of the press coverage. What do you think that Singleton, Allen, and the OL think about that? IMHO, our tandem will get more rush yards than Jenty. 4-5 drives of 6+ minutes keep Jenty off the field. Drew goes off and hits 3+ plays of 25+ yards on play action. Lions 34, Boise 17

It's like 80% Boise fans here in AZ
That doesn't help but I'm not surprised. A number of fans have already traveled for the BiG title game and the 1st round playoff game.

I wonder how many hardcore fans would attend those two plus Orange Bowl vs HD/GA and the National Championship game if we get that far.

Yep, they don't have a great secondary. We should be able to exploit it easily. 🤞
