PSU vs Michigan game thread

[gjbankos]

and on first down he throws deep to where 2 WRs and 3 defenders are. WTF?

 

[tallahasseelion]

sorry. wasn't responding to your post. responding to the third down run (as you might have noticed i gave your post thumbs up).

good gesicki. lets get on a roll!

 

[Ten Thousan Marbles]

G makes a catch. Good for him.
Both Gs.

 

[erie lion]

The pass to 88. I was expecting PSU to be able to do that all season at will. Hasn't been the case. Big completion for a first down.

 

[BobPSU92]

Blacknall!

 

[PennStateNate]

Nice throw Hack... TD!!!!!

 

[erie lion]

# 13 great adjustment on the under throw. Huge catch.

 

[tallahasseelion]

good gesicki. lets get on a roll!

lets pick on number 5 the rest of the game. he was lost.

 

[Ten Thousan Marbles]

Designed underthrow....Ham's words....for the TD.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Yes...loved that it was on Peppers (who took a snooze on that play)!

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Wow. Against Peppers too. I would not have tested that matchup, but it worked !!!

 

[PSUMATT85]

Amazing to be up 3 on #12, when we are obviously the worse team in D1

 

[mjh218]

Lets go defense! Need a stop

 

[sluggo72]

I swear I just saw Jim Haslett on the sideline. I don't know the rule relative to him being there I guess he might know JH tendencies

 

[tallahasseelion]

lets pick on number 5 the rest of the game. he was lost.

I'm sure we can get in rudocks head if we level him a few more times.

 

[sluggo72]

I hate when we go nickle. Takes one of best players off the field (a DT)

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Holy crap that was a KO return waiting to happen.....looked like the parting of the Red Sea!

 

[NedFromYork]

Play clock winding down, an incomplete and you get the ball back with plenty of time, don't get that TO.

 

[BobPSU92]

Missed tackles.

couple of really bad plays by reid.

 

[mjh218]

Tackling has not been good.

How do you let the WR behind you on that 3rd and 10?

 

[BobPSU92]

Back to no pass coverage.

 

[Yboby]

Seems like we're really missing Nassib.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Doesn't look like they're playing prevent, but the results are similar.

 

[BobPSU92]

The offense finally does something right, and the defense craps the bed. This team kills me.

 

[EPC FAN]

The defense allows to many of these kind of drives.

 

[GastonLion]

TD on a flanker screen!!! We've been doing that for two years and the only TD is the one scored by Temple!!

 

[mjh218]

Corners inability to tackle has beem exposed on this drive. It is really obvious that Malik Golden is a weak link when he is on the field (I think he is wearing #9)

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Too easy.

 

[m.knox]

I swear I just saw Jim Haslett on the sideline. I don't know the rule relative to him being there I guess he might know JH tendencies

Looks to me like Haslett doesn't know anything.....

 

[lein]

4 points might be insurmountable

 

[epradelli]

Missed tackles.

Reid keeps missing tackles!

That's the thing about this defense. Whenever there's a chance to make a statement or win the game at crunch time, it folds up like a cheap suit.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

There was a day when a PSU defense would not miss tackles like that, and it cost us, huge. Obviously he is not keeping his eyes on the belt-buckle. Where is the coaching on fundamentals?

 

[21Guns]

Shoop's defense lets us down again.

 

[mjh218]

My guess on D is young players like Reid, Haley etc. there was a tile when these guys wouldnt have even been on the field as freshman and soph.

 

[Madsol]

Exactly. Back to last year too. Not sure if it's a mental thing but just tremendous let downs when we need them most.

 

[harjeff]

Can't believe we just gave away that final drive! Got to at least try and score some points their with scUM getting the ball coming out. Very frustrating watching this team

There was a day when that was unacceptable.

That's been a consistent problem the last two years.

Michigan scores TDs on its first and last possessions but nothing in between.
