PSU @ Indiana Game Thread

I know we're a second half team. But this isn't just an inefficient start, we look like a losing team on offense.

Need momentum and playmakers to step up.
 
The D backs need to be read the riot act. They are not playing with any intensity. They have no idea where the receivers are much less the ball and on that Indiana TD run there were 2 defensive backs who literally made no effort to go tackle the Indiana player.
 
Notice the arm strength difference between the two quarterbacks. Indiana can throw deep and to the sidelines. When we do it we need either a totally blown coverage or win a jump ball. This is what we're giving up by going with Trace. We don't go to his strength often enough -- the short, intermediate throws. Is it his height that is a problem in throwing over the middle? We can do it when the defense totally bites on the run (as in the TD pass), but can we do it in a long drive. Haven't seen it that much. Receivers are way too deep.
 
The better f'n adjust the offensive game plan and start making IU pay for all these blitzes this is amateur

Moorehead gets a solid F for the first half. How many times is he going to run the zone read up the middle with Barkley when IU is stacking the line. Ran one sweep for positive yardage called back for a penalty, and that's it. One pass to barkley early in the game for a big gain, and we don't go back to it. No use of the middle of the field.

16 td 11 int. Don't think I want him.

I would add that the PSU receivers are not getting much separation. A few of those deep balls are double covered with 5 guys rushing. Someone else really ought to be open.

Moorhead needs to be fired if he is really this stupid as to try to keep running SB up the middle with a 2014 vintage PSU OL.
 
I have no idea what is going on.Ehat the hell is Morhead doing. This is a joke

So Moorhead forgot how to coach in a week? Sometimes it's because of what the defense is doing not because of the plays the offense is calling.

What's different is that IU is cutting their routes short and our def backs just keep running and not reacting to the receivers stopping. Easy completions!

I think it would be better if Barkley gained yards. Going backwards isn't what we want.
