PSU @ Indiana Game Thread

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Two short passes. Two successful plays. Guess we don't have many of those in the playbook.

 

[Sooner Lion]

Barkley looks hurt

 

[harjeff]

No adjustments this week....another run woth 8 guys around the LS

 

[The_Unit]

They keep jamming the square peg into the round hole today with the read option

 

[PennSt8er]

Stop the running plays!!!

 

[PSU.:.]

Why why why enough running up middle

 

[PSUcup1]

This game is 100% on moorhead

 

[PennSt8er]

Shitty shitty play calling on the run plays.

 

[LionDeNittany]

Stop running the zone read. Geesh

 

[harjeff]

2 short passes for nice gains and then back to the inept running game .......just makes no sense

 

[The Song Remains the Same]

Play calling is horrific

 

[Sooner Lion]

72 = terrible

 

[aquapong]

Alright....I'm not a football genius or anything, but it seems the zone read isn't working today. Maybe we should call some different runs at least.

 

[bwifan]

Why not put in 2 tight ends and run short underneath routes and also helps with blocking when they all out blitz

 

[Peetz Pool Boy]

72 = terrible

77 is worse

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Ridiculous series. You know what has not been working and we still go to it as if Indiana is going to forget their success. We wind up 3rd and long and then try a throw that McSorley cannot make. Brilliant.

 

[bwifan]

We saw how the short route to Gesicki worked keeping doing it and and throw the zone read in the trash can

 

[83wuzme]

RPO with nonrunning QB does not work

 

[PSU.:.]

Play calling has destroyed this offense today
Or awesome O cord doesn't know how to adjust
If his run game isn't working the whole offense is completely shut down...he just keeps running same plays over and over and over because he doesn't know what else to do

 

[PennSt8er]

Cmon D. Pick 6.

 

[NedFromYork]

I don't think McSorley has kept it once on the ROP.

 

[psualt]

Big Trace fan but would love to see tommy on next series. Just to mix things up and let them pull the ball more. If it doesn't spark the o you finish up with trace.

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

This is absurd - Indiana is run-blitzing with 7 and 8 guys every play and TM keeps handing it off to SB right into it. Absurd....a couple plays before, Gesicki being by himself on an easy flip with nobody within 30 yards of him also demonstrated how routinely Indiana is run-blitzing. So what do we do on new series ? Three handoffs into an 8-man front??? TM has to pull the ball out and either run it or quick flip to space.

 

[LMTLION]

Agree this is on jm. No adjustments at all.

 

[lionville]

Dear God, can you please tell Morehead to stop running the read option???? Please????

 

[NedFromYork]

Jet sweep worked well the first time, don't live the play, but try it again.

 

[NCLION]

Lazy gameplay today
Have to pass to win now

This resembles Shoop v Temple last year

 

[Omar81]

Moorhead as Vizzini, with the "logic" behind his play-calling today:

 

[psudsl08]

The IU d knows McSorley isn't keeping it so they're just crashing in on Barkley.

 

[sluggo72]

Stop running the zone read. Geesh

No start running the zone read and stop running the plays were the G's or T's pull !!

 

[PennSt8er]

Welp. Top 10 was nice for a week.

 

[loosey goosey]

Painfull

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Indiana running a two-quarterback system. No worries. That can't possibly work, right?

 

[PSUcup1]

Allen has to make that play. That was a poor effort

 

[Franklin_Restores_TheTradition]

Massive uncalled holding on Indiana's long throw as replay clearly showed - shocking....

 

[PennSt8er]

TOTALLY OUTCOACHED.

 

[919_Lion]

Completely and totally f&@king UNPREPARED!!!!!!

 

[The_Unit]

Pathetic effort overall today

 

[fairgambit]

Well, we'll always have Rutgers.

 

[Yboby]

We are not winning this one today folks. Indiana is in their locker room and they just KNOW they have this one won. They gave us 4 fumbles and we got 7 points out of it! Thyey are tied and they get the ball to start the second half.

Simply put, Indiana is a better team than us today. Their offense is moving the ball when they aren't fumbling and their defense has us shut down. Neither of those two will change in the second half except I don't see then fumbling 4 times.

31-14 final - Indiana.

Prediction looking good right now.
