Penn State vs Pitt Game Thread

I know our LBs aren't very good but is the scheme part of the problem? Seems like we keep one of them at the LOS leaving little help once Pitt's RB gets past our DTs.
 
It doesnt look to me like anyone at all on our defense is a good tackler.
Maybe Scott.
Parson was getting abused for most of the half.
Some credit to Pitt of course.
 
Unfortunately I have to hit the hay. Got to get up early and on the road for a 9+ hour drive tomorrow. Wish the Lions good luck for the 2nd half and hopefully they won’t need it.

No! Stop, back away and count to 10.
 
Opening drive is important. If we score (preferably a TD), Narduzzi will have to drop the run game and have Pickett bring them back thru the air. He hasn't shown much in hte passing game, so we'll be in a good position to pick up some TOs and roll for a few quick scores.

Middle of the field seems to be wide open all game, fortunately Narduzzi chooses to run wide some times.
 
Guys, I'm a glass half full guy 99% of the time, but damn, our run D is atrocious. Maybe having Luketa and Parsons in F/T will help. If Pitt can run on us like this what will Wiscy do?
Anyway, good to see Givens back, he looks good. Hamler is a special kid and Trace is the Man. Take the good with the bad.
ROAR LIONS ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was a glass half full at the beginning of the game but I drank that glass and a few more during the game.
 
Exactly...get them the ball frequently. Quit pissing around with others. It seems like Franklin is only preparing for Big 10 play.
2nd this motion...Sanders picking up big yardage in his hometown and Hamler is a special player. Feed the beast and open up the game

God I miss the stable lbs like brandon smith or cabinda. I am sure the young guys will be great.... next year. This year is going to be rough because of the D.... 7 or 8 wins at best unless a miracle occurs.

With this run defense, every game is going to a nailbiter.

May be crazy, but Hamler is looking a lot like Barkly in a WR position.

KO returns with hurdles, great runs and catches in the passing game...sure doesn't look like a freshman
Looks like best player on the team so far this year to me

8 may be accurate...we will likely win one we shouldn’t and lose one we shouldn’t.
 
Trace isn't running keepers at all. He usually gets a lot of key yards on those runs.

I told my daughter about 20 minutes ago, there has to be a game at some point this year that we blow someone out....at this point I’ll just take a win.
 
Pitt is going to key on our #1. The play I want to see is a fake jet sweep with misdirection either through a pitch to #24 or a pass to #80.
