Official PSU - Villanova game thread

[PSUForever]

And right on cue our defense looks lousy and gets blown off the line.

 

[BiochemPSU]

It's pretty obvious that we're not putting him in harm's way or opening up the playbook over these first 3 games. I'd guess you'll be seeing much more of Drew keeping the ball against opponents that we take more seriously.

I don’t think Drew becoming a battering ram is the missing spark.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Rojas has the RB in the backfield, but can't bring him down

 

[Big_O]

Now the defense forgets how to tackle.

 

[s1uggo72]

This offensive line is a mind-boggling disappointment.

I heard we have a great OL coach

 

[Tom McAndrew]

DDS is down. May be a cramp

 

[Calabrin]

BTW-- Drew is currently 50% on his pass attempts.

Against Villanova.

 

[MtNittany]

No big plays on offense or defense.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Jaylen Harvey replaces DDS.

'Nova going for it in 4th & 2 ...

Stoppage for the 2-minute warning

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[Arivacalion]

This isn't a championship level team right now.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[psu0408]

Oregon is going to smoke this team. Allar is indecisive and inaccurate.

 

[OhioLion]

This isn't a championship level team right now.

Right now as in ALL 3 games this season.

 

[LMTLION]

BTW-- Drew is currently 50% on his pass attempts.

Against Villanova.

And staring down his WR’s like he is a freshman with zero experience.

 

[Erial_Lion]

I don’t think Drew becoming a battering ram is the missing spark.

Might not be a spark, but it's been effective the past few years and helps keep the chains moving. I believe he's had one run in 2.5 games now. Last year, he was good for a double digit run in nearly every game. (not to mention, forcing defenses to then respect it)

 

[Tom McAndrew]

4th & 2 for 'Nova ...

Avit breaks through the line, and isn't taken down until the 15, when Collins got him from his CB position.

 

[Calabrin]

3 weeks into the season. Still sitting here with our dick in our hand. Is it that we're refusing to fix problems, or just incapable of doing so?

 

[LMTLION]

The DL was just manhandled by nova’s OL!

 

[PSUForever]

What the hell has Durant been doing? Show up man.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

This isn't a championship level team right now.

There are at least 4 losses that I can see

 

[Bwifan]

First week I gave them a pass ... Last week I became concerned ... This week I am really concerned. They play like this Oregon is going to embarrass them on national TV. People on here bashed me but I have to say I am not sure how good this team is... The oline is not very good, avg QB and defense is hot and cold. They are definitely not the 2nd best team in the nation

 

[Tor_Eckman]

The DL was just manhandled by nova’s OL!

Franklin is playing 11 dimensional chess.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU takes a TO with 1:19 left in the half.

'Nova has a 3rd & 8 ...

incomplete, as Collins with great coverage

 

[PSUcup]

I’ve never coached the game at a high level and I’m sure there are some differences… however over the course of what , 5, 6 different OCs during the CJF tenure … the offense looks the same to me regardless of the OC

 

[Nittering Nabob]

3 weeks into the season. Still sitting here with our dick in our hand. Is it that we're refusing to fix problems, or just incapable of doing so?

Same crap every season.
1. Poor tackling
2. Undisciplined along the lines (offsides, procedure)
3. Allar locking onto WR’s.

 

[Knickslions69]

Shank you very much

 

[Tom McAndrew]

'Nova with a 32-yard FG attempt ...

It's good.

13-3, PSU, with 1:12 left in the half

wait, a flag is on the field

PF, illegal block below the waist against 'Nova, makes it a 47-yard FG attempt

the FG attempt is wide left

PSU takes over on downs with 1:08 left, up 13-0

 

[CoolBean]

The Villanova RB average 7.4 yd against PSU Defense, what's going on?

 

[SkiSkiSki]

You don’t have to grab or pull it, you can push it as well.

 

[BiochemPSU]

Saquon Barkley made a lot of people look really good.

 

[Fred8811]

Nova must recruit well.

 

[Calabrin]

There are at least 4 losses that I can see

Indiana SMOKED Indiana State 73-0.

Anyone marking Indiana down as a "W" is not in touch with reality.

I said it before this season started:

Indiana is going to be a fight. Nebraska is going to be a fight.

 

[Calabrin]

Allar throws another 5-yard pass to the sideline... off target.

 

[Nitt1300]

I've been withholding criticism of Allar but he's not looking any better than last year. He's slightly better than Hack, but that's not saying much.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Think they pick that one up.

 

[BiochemPSU]

I've been withholding criticism of Allar but he's not looking any better than last year. He's slightly better than Hack, but that's not saying much.

I have to agree, morelli territory if this continues.

 

[olelion]

Might get another fg if they're lucky

 

[Ludd]

They also barely beat ODU, so there’s that.

 

[KingLando]

Allar throws another 5-yard pass to the sideline... off target.

Both sideline passes were on target. Allen sat down and wasn't moving toward the sideline. It was actually best that was dropped
