Unofficial Penn State vs. Bye Week no-game thread

[BobPSU92]

Tom did not ask me to start this thread, but I need to start it early since my wife and I are heading out for scones and lattes soon.

The lots are sparse today. Looks like we’ll have a light crowd for this one.

Bye Week is lacking on defense. Can we run the ball? Can Roberson make accurate throws? He should have plenty of time in the pocket.

Hopefully we get an ASS. BEATING. today. Get the starters out early, rest up and heal from the fake injuries, and get ready for Illinois.

Fire Franklin!

Run game sucks!
They should all bench themselves l.

If it's any consolation, the weather forecast for State College is rain.

[Hero17]

starting early huh - not sure if its a clock management issue or another false start?

 

[phillybillyreprise]

Is there a line at the Creamery?

 

[Woodpecker]

I'm not sure that we can score this week.

Looks to be a silver-out

Looks like a Pitt game!
Sorry, too easy of a slam dunk.

 

[The Spin Meister]

So far no turnovers!

Thanks for the jinx!!!!
What the eff was he thinking, on that throw?

 

[RTRMR]

Seriously, why go in shotgun formation, when it’s 4th and an inch?!?!

 

[AWS1022]

We need to take Bye seriously….after all, they would be favored to win the ACC Coastal and would compete in the Big West.

Don't you just hate it when you're sending a text, and you’re so rudely interrupted by a stupid jogger, bouncing off your windscreen?

 

[psu_et_vt]

Already in a lightning delay here with more expected. You know CJF still hasn’t figured out how to get the team through a weather delay. Bye will figure it out of course and we’ll lose.

There goes our speed advantage.

Franklin tweeted for a crowd of 107k today. Folks must be running late.

Are we still comin!?

Crap. The drum major slipped and fell on his Keester. Not a good sign.

 

[step.eng69]

RECRUIT MORE BEEF ON THE O.L.
Getting pushed backward by the defense

 

[Nittany_93]

I clearly picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!

Always a classic line.

Bye Week wins the toss and elects to receive. Smart to test our defense early. Penn State will defend the south end zone, thereby forcing Bye Week to drive away from the student section in the 2nd and 4th quarters. More sound strategy.

Stout squibs the kickoff eight yards. With a good return, Bye Week starts 1st and goal at the Penn State 8 yard line.

 

[psuro]

We. Are. Doomed.

 

[BW Lion]

And we got the John O'Neill Crew again !!!! The B1G just hates us.

 

[BobPSU92]

21-0, Bye Week, with 11:07 left in the 1st quarter. Roberson is playing very well.

Not a single yard so far today

 

[bdgan]

It's probably going to be a depressing day of college football. I'm pulling for Indy to beat MSU and for Purdue to beat Iowa. I expect to be disappointed.

Rachel will certainly correct the slip by the drum major….
All eyes on our Blue Sapphire

 

[Locolion]

Not a single yard so far today

In other news: Franklin & Yurcich visit Drew Allar’s high skool last night. Apparently the student body was all jazzed-up about the visit and JF took a selfie with the student section

Amazing. And still they're leading 21-0.

And Allar had 311 yards passing and five TD’s and came out with 11:43 left in the 2nd quarter and a 49-0 lead….holy sh!t! Final score…70-7.

 

[BobPSU92]

End of the 1st quarter. Bye Week 29, Penn State 0. Bye Week ends the quarter with a TD and two-point conversion and then recovers the onside kick.

That safety was embarrassing.

 

[BobPSU92]

That safety was embarrassing.

You mean when we had 1st and 10 at our 40 and Roberson scrambled all the way back to the end zone? He probably should have thrown it away there.

 

[Thorndike2012]

He's inexperienced.

We haven't covered that in practice.

 

[psuro]

Refs missed that obvious hold.

 

[bkmtnittany1]

Who is that ahole in my seat!!!

 

[psuro]

TD!!!!!!!!!

First defensive TD in years!
