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

[LandoComando]

Everyone at CBS picked us to win--most to cover
This is a game in which we just have to take care of business--I believe they're ready. Carter's going to have a huge night.

 

[PennState_one]

I hope all of you that are predicting a 20+ pt PSU win are right. That would make staying up for the ball drop more enjoyable.

I believe it'll look close up to halftime, but our talent and depth will take over in the second half. The run game is going to be brutal for them to handle repeatedly, and that's where we'll pull away.

All Boise State love in pregame

Oh gawd.... E-SPiN allowing mush-mouf to ramble on about how Jenty is going to run all over PSU....

BSU hasn't played a rush defense, or overall defense, ranked as high as PSU..... but let's forget about all that. We heard about the Oregon game (where Oregon turned the ball over twice, had 9 penalties and gained only 70% of their season average).... Can we now hear about BSU's performance against Wyoming mush-mouf.

Mush-mouf now talking about how we would have lost to scUM because their defense would have shut us down and they would have run at Consensus AA and Defensive POY Abdul Carter and "he wouldn't have been able to take it"..... This channel is freaking pathetic allowing this bullshit. Just disgraceful....

Now Fowler hazing PSU / Franklin with his bullshit. Pretty funny that he's running this 3-17 against Top 10 "BSU is top 10.... blah, blah, blah...." - funny how he didn't include SMU last week in this statistics even though they were Top 10 in CFP Final Selection Rankings.... LMFAO.

The team that scores the most points has the best chance of winning.

That reminds me of a Bobby Knight postgame interview on the court after Indiana lost a game years ago. Lesley Visser (IIRC) asks him ‘Why did you lose coach?’ Knight says- ‘Well Lesley, they scored more points than we did’.

 

[lazydave841]

Boise DL looks small. Be interesting to see how we attack them. They are going to blitz a lot tonight I figure.

 

[bono47]

Gotta love this BS. Hope PSU wins by 30. Desmond How-Turd had to get the Michigan plug in.

Even the announcers in the LSU game were picking Boise or saying it’ll be close late. Part of that is to get viewership. Part of it is rooting for the underdog.

 

[Marylovesthelions]

My first game was 1963 against WVa. I have missed very few games in 61 years and I always get very nervous before big games. Tonight, our stars come out to shine on both sides of the ball.

We would have made their QBs look like SMU's unless we let the jersey get in our head.

The both picked us to win--what are you talking about?

Of course ESPN has a Pitt alum call this game

Boise State-Penn State isn't getting the top crew but most would probably be angry if Herbie was doing our game too
The crew is fine--they're mid--reflecting this isn't one of the two big games (Georga/ND and Ohio State/Oregon) due to who we're playing

 

[lazydave841]

3 minutes and we kick this mutha off.

Lolz @ the Boise flag packer who tripped.

Seen that. Hoping that is a sign of things to come

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

LMAO - did you see the BSU player carrying flag do a complete face-plant in the middle of the field after running out of tunnel??? Talk about not ready for Primetime..... hysterical.

 

[PurposePitch]

Boise State flag bearer trips and face plants. Awesome.

 

[Marylovesthelions]

At 80 years old I wonder, do they have PSU football in heaven? Surely they must.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

3 minutes and we kick this mutha off.

Lolz @ the Boise flag packer who tripped.

They can’t even run out of the locker room? Yikes

 

[PurposePitch]

I broke my pinky toe doing something stupid today, so I feel that poor guy’s pain, but I have a feeling that’s a harbinger of things to come for Boise tonight.

 

[pennstatefan111]

Won the toss and deferred.

 

[LandoComando]

That reminded me of Fleury coming on the ice against Detroit in 2008--knew how that series would go
Hopefully this is the same

 

[PurposePitch]

Jesus ain’t gonna save you tonight, BSU coach. Unless he plays defense.

 

[lazydave841]

Running 5 DL tonight right now.

 

[LandoComando]

Good stop

 

[Vermilion]

Any thoughts from attendees on crowd percentage? We sound loud

 

[bdroc]

Jesus ain’t gonna save you tonight, BSU coach. Unless he plays defense.

Ugh

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

A lot of positives for Penn State on that first drive. Pass defense will likely tighten up as game progresses. But Nittany Lions getting a lot of push up front.

 

[PennState_one]

Now score, then score again, then again after that.

 

[bdroc]

That miss helped. Was it tipped?

 

[GregInPitt]

Good first series on D. Gave up a few plays but no points. D has been starting slow and adjusting nicely in recent games. Right on track so far.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

For the sake of the kicker, I’m going to just assume that got tipped. Because if not, yikes.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

thought they were gonna go for it

 

[lazydave841]

Good stop

We actually game planned for the run. 5 DL at times with Vanover played a 5t and Carter going to the strong side of formation.

Boise passing early is good. They aren't going to get those easy looks all night. Jeanty held in check. He broke 2 tackles on the swing pass, but we swarmed to the ball.

 

[LandoComando]

That miss helped. Was it tipped?

Hard to tell--looked like he just choked

 

[PSUCYCLING]

I like that we’re getting 5 bodies on Jeanty on every play.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Again, not ready for Primetime - complete choke-job on that attempt.

BTW, the Stadium sounded plenty loud when PSU on Defense contrary to E-SPiN's just before gametime claim (i.e., BSU fans everywhere....).

 

[pennstatefan111]

Are we contractually obligated to run up the middle on the first play? Geez it’s too predictable

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Singleton was close to breaking that first down run.

 

[PurposePitch]

Was the BSU kicker also the face-planting flag bearer? Or do they have multiple uber-nervous players?
