I thought Lorig left Memphis to go to A & M and left A & M after about a week to come to Penn State.
Some random/possible inside information
- Thread starter PSUisBack2017
- Start date
correct.....
On January 8, 2019, it was announced that Lorig would join Texas Tech and head coach Matt Wells as the special teams coordinator and defensive assistant.[12][4]
February 21, 2019, Penn State hired Joe Lorig, from Texas Tech, as special teams coordinator and defensive assistant, replacing Phil Galiano.[1
2017 is 72.2
2019 is 68.6
you busted me embellishing a little bit....gosh, you should pump your chest out and make sure your mother is making you dinner tonight. Im sure when she calls you up from the basement your tomato soup and grilled cheese will be wonderful.

Yeah, but that's just because tOSU ran twice as many plays.Yeah.... or you could look up how long each offense actually took between plays
https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay?gameId=401112256
Time between plays (when clock was running):
PSU First Three Series: 30.1 Seconds average
331 seconds over 11 plays
OSU First Three Series: 30.1 Seconds average
603 seconds over 20 plays
OK, OK, just to make Mr. Nice Guy happy I will change my statement.
In my opinion our offense runs less plays than we did during the JM years and it looks like we take too much time to run our play based on the number of times we look at the sidelines to get the play. IN MY OPINION this offense has 2 plays....a big play or a one yard loss. thats it.

The loyalty BS only goes so far. Ask Donovan. A head coach who sees himself as the CEO needs to be loyal to WINNING especially if he actually wants to win a NC. Where is the loyalty from assistant coaches who get offered SEC jobs? Loyalty is a two way street. Most of the staff will leave as soon as they get a better offer. If we can upgrade a position coach then it is time to move on.
Do you think this is little league when the players transfer or commit to other schools that run MORE plays, score MORE pints and MORE players get involved?
How many starters who contribute leave from good teams? Maybe your Mommy got upset for you in college, seems like it with the tone of your posts.
I didnt say first 3 series now did I?Yeah.... or you could look up how long each offense actually took between plays

You must still be mad that I think Journey Brown is going to the draft.
I am sorry you have so much hate in your heart.
see Barry this is what you dont understand about the game. It aint all about stats you can pull off some web site. I said it seems, as in the feel of the game, which I never stated as a fact.. Sometimes it seems, OSU was taking more time between plays on the first drive as they had to run down the field 20 yards after a chunk play.I linked in the data.... if you wanna' check for the first series only, be my guest. (Or send along $5 via PayPal, and I'll do the math for ya')
Of course, it will contradict your previous "FACT"..... so I'm guessing you won't
now watch their first 2 plays and tell me if it doesnt feel like they are just going out and down (if you even know what that means). The time between plays is because the guy runs so far on first down, and is out of bounds, and then the refs screw up where to spot the ball, But OSU is at the line up and running a play. Now how often do we see us doing that.
(I doubt you'll even hit the button, because once again it will prove you wrong)

you are an angry, angry man.
Yup, not warp speed by any means, but competent, decisive, not looking to the sideline like mommy is going to write them a note.
Jesus, and what a colossal mess our first possession is. Our O-line gets pushed into Cliffords face so he throws a 3 yard check down to Pat. Then OSU slants backers to play the QB keep on the read, but Young loops inside so literally Clifford has 0 place to go with the ball. 3rd down, they just pin their ears back and beat our offensive line like they owe them money, Cliff has 0 time to even let a rout develop before Chase Young is putting his balls in Cliff's facemask. What a total mess this offense was in that first half. Need a better O-line and scheme, like pronto.
Neither does averaging 27 points a game in conference play over a two year stretch with an offense littered with 4/5 skill position players. The drop off is more than 10 points a game from his predecessor.
LOL
Even if I were, I'd be happy again come Christmastime
probably, but thats ok.....at least I can say I am not an internet tough guy.
Every office has that one person nobody can stand. I wouldn’t think Lasch would be any different in that regard. Maybe Lorig is taking more than his fair share of apple fritters from the kitchen in the morning
Yet we are still 10-2 with a chance at 11 wins for the 3rd time in the last 4 years.
Spread HD worked just fine with a fifth-year QB (two-time first team all-B1G) tossing it to DWill, Butler and Norwood.
Not always so swift with a first time starter on the controls.
Yes... they are... you doubling-down-dipshit

If you had read the footnotes on the site YOU LINKED.... you would see that they exclude some games from their figures. Which is why those figures are a bit off. Of course, in either event, your claims of running 8-9 plays per game slower are just idiotic bloviations - and the actual number of plays per game the last two years are nearly exactly what they were in 2016 and 2017. You ignoramus.
You coulda' just said:
"Thank you for pointing out my error", and moved along
They're definitely within the "error" if you did a statistical regression evaluation on plays per game -- IOW, you would accept the "null hypothesis" versus a theory that JM's offenses ran 20% more plays...
You're a trip man. You don't have many friends do you?LOL

1) Franklin should fire everyone to make Lorig happy.
2) Look out as there is about to be another PSU scandal. Rahne's multiple wives. This ain't Utah.
3) The offense does center on those two as it should. The idea is to get the ball into your best players' hands. If it didn't center on those two, everyone on here would be saying that KJ doesn't get enough touches. IIRC, there were criticisms that KJ didn't get enough touches. Urbs pointed out that you have to get your best player touches and even had a sheet marking the number of times his best player got the ball. He has to get his touches.
4) That is surprising. So far only Shorter in the portal.
common thread between Trace 5th year and Sean this year:
- increased number of dropped passes
- failure to get many 50/50 passes
- both QBs hurt with noticeable injuries
Fair, but bullet point 3 falls on Rahne. He loves to run the qb into the middle of the defense when we desperately need a 1st down like they are big fullbacks. It has resulted in 2 banged up qbs over the last 2 years. When all else isnt working in Rahne offense, its smash the qb up in there and hope the defense doesnt see it coming, eventhough it's his favorite play.
It sounds silly but I like that idea. Play 11 on 11 but not PF or KJ. Are the TE and slot still the only ones open? Does Sean learn to look elsewhere. Neat idea.
Justin Fields ran 21 times against us. Just sayin....
IMO silly argument. Look at the cast Moorehead and TM had.
Barkley at rb AND catching the ball. Godwin, Geisicki Hamilton. I remember in 2016 it seemed like we caught 75-80% of "50/50" balls. Little to do with OC and everything to do with WR.
That was supposed to be Gilliken, not Pinegar. My bad.
Do you think the offense is good or a strength of this team/program?Yet we are still 10-2 with a chance at 11 wins for the 3rd time in the last 4 years.
But...but...10-2! We lost to OSU by less than anyone this year! And...and...Rahne's wives are happy!
The Special Team coverage teams were pretty good, the FG and Xpt teams were pretty good. The return teams were not very good.
I brought this up a few months ago about Lorig and I was almost run off this site. I have a friend who works in the AD. Not the football offices, but he is actually connected to general AD. Ticket sales, marketing, fund raising campaigns.... As some of you may know, the AD Offices of staff personnel are combined together. So there is a lot of inter-mingling. Anyhow, earlier in season when hanging at a tailgate with this buddy, he told me that Lorig might be gone after the season because he & rest of staff just did not "hit it off". Said there was no open animosity, or in-fighting, but said there was enough "personal disagreement" about some things, that Lorig will probably look to move on, and Franklin will be "supportive of the move".
I mentioned this on a thread about 1 month ago and was attacked. But TIFWIW.
Journey Brown scored more TDs (11) than either of them. JB had 688 yards on 113 rushing attempts (6.1 ypc). He had an additional 127 yards on 13 catches (9.8 yards per reception).
We were 3rd in scoring offense in the B1G, 6th in total offense. I think we started 8 players with sophomore or frosh eligibility and will probably return 9 of 11 starters next year. I think there is plenty of room for improvement but we were not “bad” on offense.
