The McAndrew Board OFFICIAL PSU-tOSU Gameday Thread!

[YeOldeCup]

You are hanging your hat on the fact Georgia made the wrong decision? How is that working for UGA? He was the number one recruit in the country for a reason. Talent on our our roster, on offense, isn’t close to the level of O$U. They have five star kids everywhere. We are inching closer but haven’t closed the gap and given our limitations in terms of, thankfully, not providing impermissible benefits we might never recruit on parity.

Not sure I understand your "wrong decision" comment. Fromm may be the first QB selected in 2020. Please elaborate. Plugging Fields into a "system" offense isn't genius - re: Haskins and Pryor, who have done nothing at the next level.

 

[Storm at Sea]

You are clueless.

Franklin apologist.

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.

This is all rationalizing for the loss. Our offense has been an issue all season. Get over yourself. Rahne sucks.

If they get 7 that’s ball gamw

 

[PSUcup1]

D ends with no contain

 

[CoastGuard2018]

The last 7 years Joe averaged nearly 10 wins per season. The dark years were brutal.

Well that’s what Franklin is averaging and it’s not good enough for a lot of people.

 

[83wuzme]

Defense looks tired. OSU running plays very quickly

 

[step.eng69]

Touchdown Ohio State

Ballgame

 

[AvgUser]

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.

minimize

 

[step.eng69]

Game over

 

[PSUcup1]

Safeties are just bad

 

[83wuzme]

We need taller, faster DB’s to match up

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

We lost a wide receiver in our back yard in Fleming. What excuses are there for that?

There shouldn’t be any excuses. I’ve argued here before that Fleming could very easily fall short of his lofty expectations considering he’s coming out of a small program that plays against mediocre competition. He also could be the next Randy Moss. Doesn’t really matter - the kid grew up an hour away from our campus and is going to the biggest obstacle we have to get back to the top. We NEEDED to get him.

 

[LMTLION]

It was only a matter of time that our secondary showed up...

 

[uscgPSU]

You guys know JK Dobbins squats 700 lbs? If I hear that one more time....

 

[AtlantaLion]

Can we finally generate some offense? Rain is not going to help.

 

[Little J]

We r toast. Losing battle at LOS all day long - both sides of ball

 

[JoeBot409]

This is horrible

 

[JoeBot409]

If we put up a goose egg, Franklin has a lot of explaining to do.

 

[sluggo72]

Smash route. Should have eaten that up. Now answer on O and we have a game

 

[NCLION]

One team made adjustments

 

[psualt]

Let’s Go Lions!

 

[NedFromYork]

Our four best linebackers are Parsons, Brown, Brooks, and Smith. Jan is a fine player but not sure why he is a starter. I think our best configuration is Parsons, Brooks, and Smith/Brown.

 

[mrmk5110]

Defense is gassed. Cant help that the offense is (not surprisingly) incapable of doing anything in this game.

 

[anon_xdc8rmuek44eq]

Yeah, needed a stop on that opening drive to have any hope of winning. The worst part about all this is watching Day enjoy the fruits of Meyer's labor.

 

[m.knox]

Now for the million dollar question, can PSU put up some points?

 

[PS4814]

This is what was expected, no idea why some of you are acting shocked. OSU is just at another level this year and has a damned good shot at winning it all.

 

[paws1957]

This is horrible

If our offense can’t hold onto the ball for a few minutes it’s going to get a lot worse!

 

[TheBumble]

There's the type of throw we've come to expect from opposing QBs.

 

[rudedude]

If we put up a goose egg, Franklin has a lot of explaining to do.

Like what, Ohio State is better than us this year?

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Sigh... secondary just doesn’t have it

 

[JoeBot409]

I think it is time for Jimmy to move on. Enjoy Southern California, you have to play OSU better than this. This in inexcusable.

 

[fastlax16]

If we put up a goose egg, Franklin has a lot of explaining to do.

if a goose egg guaranteed rhane’s dismissal I might sign up for that

 

[LaJolla Lion]

Our four best linebackers are Parsons, Brown, Brooks, and Smith. Jan is a fine player but not sure why he is a starter. I think our best configuration is Parsons, Brooks, and Smith/Brown.

Smith forgets he has arms when he tackles.

 

[wcg207]

We need taller, faster DB’s to match up

 

[TheGLOV]

Our #7 safety sure is WATCHING a good game today.

 

[step.eng69]

Penn State starting at the 25-yard line

 

[PSUcup1]

Why fair catch that??

 

[Nittany_93]

Defense hasn't played a perfect game but the offense generating all of 65 yards of offense hasn't exactly helped. Kind of lucky it isn't 35-0
