I don't buy that we need to beat Purdue by 60 for style points. The goal here is to win comfortably and leave healthy. What I would like to see:

1. Big plays. I would like to see 3+ 30+ gains minimum. I might have the bar low, but...

2. Reserves playing more snaps. Let's see Denmark, Smith, and all of the other guys who haven't played a bunch. Work them into the starters rotation.

The rest in a win is gravy.

Saunders is now out again. Of course.

Rather than big plays, I'd like to see 3 drives (minimum) of 6 minutes or more each. Let the D have the day off.

No punts by Penn State.

And yes, a lot of reserves playing.

Right on target.

Ideally we'd be up 28-0 at the half as in the Washington game...and then let Beau run the show in the 2nd half.

But best not to get ahead of ourselves.

It's funny to be ranked forth in the country when you're fourth in the conference.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

The first play of the game is Tyler Warren who gets 15 yards. Could be a big day for the nation's top tight end.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Omari Evans has to find a way to make the safety miss on that play. Should be a walk-in touchdown.

Nonetheless, Allar finds Kaytron Allen a few seconds later for a 2-yard TD pass on third down.

7-0 Penn State.

 

[lazydave841]

That drive was easy. Overcame a false start. Warren essentially unguardable on that drive. Play calling was solid. Hard to tell with Purdue.

7-0.

 

[LandoComando]

Nice start

 

[lazydave841]

Omari Evans has to find a way to make the safety miss on that play. Should be a walk-in touchdown.

He's such an in between WR. Happy to see him get a different route for once though.

If we could get anything from the WRs it would be great--at least he didn't drop it I guess

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

They are really just one good WR away this season from that next tier.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Absolutely have to field that punt.

 

[scrivener]

Absolutely have to field that punt.

ST return game has been terrible all yr and for several yrs under JF. We don't win the hidden yards battle and hardly ever help out the offense and field position.

 

[LionDeNittany]

Singleton goes down too easy.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Nick Singleton looks pretty healthy today so far. Looks like he's picking up where he left off against Washington prior to leaving the game.

 

[Phil's Rug]

Great scramble Drew

 

[LionDeNittany]

Great scramble ramble Drew

Allar can shed tackles

 

[Obliviax]

Wow

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State is moving the ball down the field with ease. They just went 93 yards on 10 plays with the drive finished by a 15-yard Tyler Warren TD grab. Warren has six receptions for 81 yards. Allar is 10-for-10 for 116 and 2 TDs.

 

[LandoComando]

Feel bad for Purdue

 

[lazydave841]

Offense is rolling. The only issue: we aren't targeting our WRs.

Meh, I'm not going to complain about AK using what we are good at.

Definitely struggling the last few years.

 

[ram2020]

Its Purdue, so big grain of salt and all, but we look SHARP. Credit to the coaching and preparation. Might the boys be hearing the talk from the national punditry about how we don't deserve to be 4th?

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Poor ASWP, they kicked a FG with 1:36 left to take a 20-17 lead and Clemson had no TOs left. They proceeded to give a 75 yard Clemson TD drive in 20 seconds. LMFAO 24-20 Final.

 

[SR108]

All good, but do we have any wide receivers on the team?

I'm primarily thrilled that we seem to be locked in with a playoff berth within our grasp. We have flaws, but so far today we are avoiding them.

The opponent helps.

I think we're trying to--they just still can't get open

Clemson losing would have been better but meh

 

[SUPERTODD]

That just seems like unnecessary, gimmicky bullshit.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

KA is not good E-W..... why you would run that play to KA rather than NS is a bit head-scratching (he also is not nearly the polished receiver that NS is).

 

[LandoComando]

That just seems like unnecessary, gimmicky bullshit.

It was--just let Allar and Warren dominate for a half then play Beau

 

[m.knox]

Nick Singleton looks pretty healthy today so far. Looks like he's picking up where he left off against Washington prior to leaving the game.

Actually looked fast through the hole.

 

[scrivener]

Would also be nice to see our running game get going in between the tackles. I really like those multiple pitch plays in the first quarter but next week against a much saltier Minnesota defense, we're going to have to be able to run the football.... which in my opinion has been more inconsistent than I expected this year

 

[m.knox]

Has Carter been in?

EDIT - I see him.
