The McAndrew Board OFFICIAL PSU-tOSU Gameday Thread!
- Thread starter ILLINOISLION
- Start date
We’re bitching about holding when our offense has 65 yards. We’ve done absolutely nothing to try and get the ball to hamler or our backs in space (minus the 3rd and 4 incomplete pass to Cain).
Yep.
Listen I am not anit-Franklin. I will say, if think that Rhane is a good OC then you might want to take an honest look at his play calling. 80% of the time he is predictable. The offense performs despite Rhane.

do we want to win the game or minimize how much we lose by?
if it’s the former, you try and score especially since they get the ball to start the second half.
If it’s the latter, it’s a losers mentality and we get what we deserve.
Don't forget racist, right @LaJolla Lion and @Nitt1300 ?? All this Rahne bashing is definitely a race thing and not a 56 yards thing.
Punting on the 42 and 36 yard lines...
They only call holding adjacent to where the ball carrier is. Unless the hold clearly allows a runner to slip by, it’s not called in the B1G.
This half is why it is so impossible to take the people who blame everything on coaching seriously. It is pretty clear they have no idea what they are watching. The difference in this game is Fields’ ability to run and the O$U receiver’s ability to go up and make plays. Period. Outside of maybe spying a player instead of using a delayed blitz on a play or two our coaching staff has put these kids in a position to win. O$U has a better DL, secondary, OL, WRs and RBs than us. They SHOULD win based purely on talent. It’s why the NCAA and their utter lack of integrity is so maddening. Fields should not be on this field. Neither should Chase Young. Take off those two players and Franklin has done a phenomenal job stocking this team with the talent to compete with anyone.
tOSU defense is just better than the PSU offense. They are not the #1 defensive team for nothing. PSU just can't block them so far. Better players on tOSU side of the ball. PSU might be able to scheme a little better. It wouldn't matter much though. Superior talent on the other side of the ball. PSU does not, even with the recruiting improvement, recruit at that level.
Urban called it at half. D is playing tough but getting no help from the O. O needs a sustained drive, score and give the D a rest.
Middle of the field was wide open with all out blitz. Fortunately we got to Fields quickly.
I would suggest you watch old tapes instead of the current team. You will be happier and so will we
Exactly, on that bomb to the EZ at the end of the half Parsons was clearly held right out in the open and no call.
Urban just said it best- you can’t argue with our defense, they came to play. Made a huge play on the goal line to force a TO.
The offense has to give something. 60 f*cking yards is alarming. Unfortunately this game will be a landslide if OSU scores on the opening drive of the half.

Was going to say the same thing. I happen to like UM and he’s spot on. Our defense is balling, the difference is at the QB spot
You can’t be serious...Levis is in no way ready to play in any competitive game - let alone this game...OSU is very, very good and it is senior day on their home field. Going to need everything have just to stay in the game...Nope, Cliff needs the practice!
As usual Ricky Rahne blows as a offensive coordinator. He needs to be fired. Oh wait will I be called racist because I want him fired? Clowns on this message board
amen I have never complained before but this is getting ridiculous.On the second td they got away with a hook and hold.And what about the hold against Parsons.He was rode out of the play.Just sick of this bull.
It wasn't pretty, but Joe's teams always had good offensive line play and were able to grind out yards on the ground and use up clock.
penn state had superior talent to Minnesota yet the gophers perservered.
Who’s fault is it that there is better talent on the other team? That’s the coaching staff’s problem. This isn’t high school. You can get any player you want you just have to recruit them. More importantly you have to coach them up. We have a top 5 rated wide receiver who has been a ghost.
The D is fighting hard. I applaud the effort but not the scheme. Fields had too many big runs on 3rd down when we had no defenders to stop him. Common sense dictates that you kick the FG on 4th and 5 but they didn't hesitate because they were able to predict what we were going to do on D.
Minnesota's perseverance in a previous game with PSU is irrelevant with respect to the likelihood of a PSU victory in this game. PSU will persevere. PSU always plays hard. Effort is not the issue. Nevertheless, chances are that perseverance won't win this game against tOSU. There is still hope. PSU is only down 2 TDs. It's clear which team is better so far though.
Excuse me? Did I say Levis needs to play? NO! How do you expect Cliff to get any better sitting on the bench? It’s his team to lead!
