Official PSU - tOSU '25 game thread

[Calabrin]

We're at the end of the 1st quarter, there's been 1 pass attempt by Penn State, and it was Grunkmeyer throwing the ball away on 3rd and 3 because he was under pressure.

Edit: Oh, there's been 2 pass attempts. I must've been in the bathroom for the first one that went for 3 yards.

 

[KingLando]

QB is fairly important.

Of course it is...that doesn't excuse the defense or the staff for not developing a backup QB. Or getting their QB injured with this idiotic scheme.

 

[Bwifan]

I expect the mercy rule to be invoked at halftime

Didn't he throw a WR screen?

 

[Midnighter]

I don’t want Grunk to get hurt but the ‘embrace the suck’ part of me would love to see Liam Clifford at QB. Someone should sue Franklin.

 

[OUIrPSU]

How are we so bad on D?

 

[Nittany18]

Do we have DB’s?!?!?!?

 

[Wewantthelion]

They might have 3 receivers with over 200 yards today

 

[Tom McAndrew]

how is that not intentional grounding? I think the refs screwed up on that

Can't cover, can't tackle...fun times

 

[Ludd]

I guess intentional grounding doesn’t exist for OSU.

 

[KingLando]

Probably but if they call it then Ohio State just throws a long pass and adds to their yardage total.

 

[PSUcup]

Clear holding there

but also pathetic tackling

 

[Midnighter]

I guess intentional grounding doesn’t exist for OSU.

What is ‘in the area’ defined as? On the field?

 

[JoeBot409]

Franklin wrecked this team.

 

[Bwifan]

Not sure why I am putting myself through this game...

 

[SouthHalls410]

We really worked hard over the bye week. Still can’t effing effing tackle. This is a Varsity vs middle school game so far.

Absolutely was grounding

A WR can’t be in the area when the ball lands 15 yards OOB

 

[Tom McAndrew]

on the PSU radio network, Steve Jones and Jack Ham really unloaded on the refs for that non-call

 

[KingLando]

We knew the outcome before it started. Hopefully we're watching our next coach embarrass us.

In the stadium.

 

[OUIrPSU]

We really worked hard over the bye week. Still can’t effing effing tackle. This is a Varsity vs middle school game so far.

And yet, we’re only down seven

 

[Wewantthelion]

I expect the mercy rule to be invoked at halftime

Does that mean Ohio State’s 3rd string will be in by then

 

[Ludd]

We knew the outcome before it started. Hopefully we're watching our next coach embarrass us.

The last coach we took from OSU is certainly embarrassing us.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

it's a Saturday in the fall, PSU is playing ... it's what we do

 

[rudedude]

Holding appears to be an optional call for OSU

 

[PSUForever]

How are we so bad on D?

Knowles overrated, terrible schemes, overrated players no one cares at this point including Knowles. He is just collecting a paycheck. End this misery. Just kneel for 3 downs, punt. Let OSU get up 50-0 and maybe we can keep them under 70 points with their third team in for the 2nd half.

 

[Midnighter]

Tackling and third down defense have been an issue for a decade. Not being able to complete a pass for more than three yards is last four years or so.

 

[SouthHalls410]

And yet, we’re only down seven

And soon to be 14. What game are you watching

 

[Calabrin]

"Ryan? This is Tony. Listen, I'm gonna need you to take your foot off the gas for a bit on Saturday so that people don't change the channel too quickly..."

You can if you play for Ohio State… you can also hold all you want

 

[Wex18]

Hurricanes-Bruins hockey game starts in 15 minutes. Can't wait to switch over.

 

[Paws057]

And yet, we’re only down seven

So far!

 

[Ludd]

it's a Saturday in the fall, PSU is playing ... it's what we do

I’m sure I will be out mowing my lawn by halftime.

Always has been

 

[KingLando]

Smith could have made a change and didn't. Take play calling off him

 

[Fred8811]

Pointless to even turn on the TV. Like watching Lassie reruns without the excitement.

 

[OUIrPSU]

And soon to be 14. What game are you watching

You’re not watching the Duke Clemson game?

 

[Paws057]

I’m sure I will be out mowing my lawn by halftime.

Save yourself some frustration and mow it now…

 

[KingLando]

Like watching Lassie reruns without the excitement.

You get to watch an elite team lol
