PSU - Wisconsin game thread

This reminds me of the first half of the pitt game when the defense was knocked off the ball and the offense was a slow starter. We are somewhat fortunate to be down by only 14 so hopefully the breaks go our way in the second half.
 
I love McSorley as PSU's QB. The kid has taken a beating and still just stands tall in the pocket. Never flinches. He is a true warrior and leader out there.

Agree. McSorley and our receivers are playing well. Don't think JoMo gives them much help though. We don't throw enough intermediate stuff to take pressure off the run game and sustain drives to keep Wiscy's ball-control offense off the field. That means we also don't have much for a 4th down go-for-it call or goal line stuff. McSorley drops back and usually has to run from a blitzing linebacker. There has to be a way to exploit that, but haven't seen it. We're often successful on the deep stuff because we have taller receivers who are exceptional.
 
Fvckin Franklin.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory one 4th down call after another. Pure Genius.

I think the TE faking blocking down then going out would work.
 
If the bad snap by Gaia doesn't happen we don't go for either 4th down.

The bad snap caused the rest of that mess.

There was no need to go for either of those fourth downs, we have a good outer, play field position.
 
Guys, Wisconsin hasn't stuffed the run. We have not run it much. Barkley and Robinson are a combined 10 rushes for 63 yards. Big plays have largely gone wisconsins way. Wisconsin has done nothing on d that makes me think we can't score 3-4 times in the second half. Defense has to get stops and Franklin needs to stop acting like Jack Del Rio.

Football is often a game of mistakes. If we can hold Wisonsin to 10 or fewer ponts in the second half, we have a chance. It's not a big chance, but it s a chance.

Barkley has 56 yds on just 7 carries. Can't give up on the run. Just have to use the pass to set up the run.
Agree, plus, you never know with Saquon. He has been very close to breaking some long onesover the last few games.
 
why at the B1G Championship game do we have a student from Southern Cal, and a student from Mississippi, competing in the throw the footballs in the drum competition, for $100,000? They couldn't find 2 B1G students, or a student from PSU and a student from Wisky? Oh well, I never drink Dr. Pepper
 
Feel like big plays there if we can get Barkley into second level
Glad halftime was an hour so we have more time to adjust
