Who was the WR's coach for the game against Utah?
The problem with our coaching carousel on the offensive side of the ball is that they are leaving because we were not satisfied with their performance. After OCRR left to lead his own program at ODU, we have made changes that to an outsider seem hasty and in hindsight leave me more curious and questioning.
No doubt about all that. Clifford played perhaps his best game against Utah. He played with no fear, poise and decisiveness when needed.
I understand your point.
This wasn't trying to be positive about Penn State. The OP was criticizing Allar. Not sure what you think was positive in this thread.
Clifford playing well. Read the comment. But it was a glorified scrimmage and Utah did not care or try to win. LOL.
Read the comment again and understand the point. It was a scrimmage just like last year's loss meant nothing.
A man's reach should exceed his grasp or what's a heaven for...
Sure. Their QB and several other players got injured by lying down for the game. You nowhere men always have a nowhere answer for everything. 😂
That is certainly my guess. We have to start landing our first choices for WR coach and recruits. Which came first the chicken or the egg? In this case it doesn't matter we have to start having success at both. But in most cases land the coach and the recruits will come.
This is way it works at all successful schools. If you are a playoff team, the best you can hope for is to keep your coordinators for a couple of years. The key is identifying/bringing in high quality replacements.
yep. the announcers were trying to figure out what the heck the safety was doing the entire game. The long TD was one thing. But the same S bit on another play leaving a WR wide open for a long gainer (but not a TD). he also got sucked inside and out of position on the long TD run. So I am not sure it was our great WR play or a S that had a really bad game.
Assuming you can land them.
Would it have mattered if Allar 2023 were the QB either way you want to cut it. In the stands for the Illinois game and watching the replays of other games ... He checked off KLS and others that were open deep or threw the ball into orbit. Or threw a brick on WRs open on the fade. You can piss all over the WRs all you like. They were not the only cause of WRs failing to score points. DBs didn't have to cover them on so many routes.... It was a group effort including the OC that gets fired for insubordination every couple years.
Well, you are making some wild assumptions. I could have made that throw to KLS and the other one that was the long gainer. I could also have handed it off to singleton on the 95 yard run. The rest of the game I'd have been in the infirmary.
I am not talking about you or I. Nor am I using that one play or another in isolation but as an example of many plays over the season. The checking was that of a QB with no meaningful experience at this level and many opportunities were missed because of either the fear of letting lose or a learning curve issue, perhaps both. I hope that improves. My real concern is that Allar turns awkwardly which often negates his great arm strength. This awkwardness impacts his view of the field both his positioning when throwing and handing off the ball as well as the line of sight when making his check offs. What are observations for but making good assumptions.
Again this entire thread was made to bash Allar...why no one else saw that os beyond comprehension.
It was a good game for the PSU players (esp. Cliff) but Utah did not have anything like a top-tier Big Ten secondary in that game. They were missing their best DB and their safeties lacked speed and got suckered a few times.
What, there's no next man up at Utah? Lol
So our coaches have somehow missed that Allar turns awkwardly which negates his arm strength and haven't had him work on it? Perhaps they should hire you as a special QB consultant.
