Official PSU - Clemson '25 Pinstripe Bowl game thread

[psuno1]

Kotelnicki knows one thing we'll, how to kill momentum with dumb play calling. You had Martin running well and Reynolds with the shuffle pass, then the Pena play. Why the inside play to Pena?

Let's run that Liam Clifford throwing a pass play a few more times.

 

[DaytonRickster]

Can Martin gain 15 pounds but not lose speed?

Really impressed with his running today. Decisive, gaining tough yards, and has some burst.

 

[SkiSkiSki]

There’s almost zero chance of that happening with AK calling the plays. We’d move the ball up and down the field at will if we just keep running between the tackles and mixing in play action. AK is just too stupid or too impatient to do it.

MUST. HAVE. EXPLOSIVE. PLAYS.

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

Clemson can’t stop us running the ball, I don’t know why we never do something like what Michigan did a couple years ago and just run it like 25 straight times if they’re not going to stop it.

Local ABC has just been showing the same commercials on a loop for the past 5 minutes. Missed the entire drive. Had to switch to Disney+

You must be in Blacksburg.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Pena!!!!

72-yards

 

[Nittering Nabob]

That was a nice throw.

MUST. HAVE. EXPLOSIVE. PLAYS.

Right on call!

 

[Aardvark86]

In the immortal words of the late John madden, “doink”.

 

[Catch1lion]

Peña . All day long !

 

[Phils rug]

About damn time, TD PSU!!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU goes for 2, and does not convert

15-3, with 12:51 left in the 4th qtr.

 

[PAgeologist]

Nice pass and run. And thankfully he kept his footing and held onto the ball.

 

[KingLando]

Great effort by Pena--horrible tackling lol

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Can we opt out of two - point conversions? We sux, sux, sux at completing them....

 

[Paws057]

Come on Andy, let’s see that double flea flicker!

 

[CyphaPSU]

Hopefully the new OC has better ideas for how to run a two-point conversion.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Great strike by Grunk…the kind of throw that keeps me intrigued to see him continue his career at PSU.

 

[LB99]

MUST. HAVE. EXPLOSIVE. PLAYS.

Just got one.

 

[LionsAndBears]

I guess Franklin's stupidity isn't out of our system yet.

 

[DELion]

We now have exactly twice as many yards as Clemson: 314 to 157

 

[TangSoo]

Happy for Pena, the guy that wanted to play football today.

 

[Ludd]

Can we opt out of two - point conversions? We sux, sux, sux at completing them....

Everyone would suck when you call a handoff up the middle on a two point conversion.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

You must be in Blacksburg.

Eating my Crumbl cookies!!

 

[LB99]

I guess Franklin's stupidity isn't out of our system yet. Can someone please explain scoring and the difference between an 8pt lead and a 9 pt lead to Smith!!!

They are up by 12?

 

[DaytonRickster]

Peña . All day long !

I am so happy for him. He didn't opt out and has played an excellent game with a TD! Good on him!

 

[Grant Green]

Was anyone here brave enough to bet money on the outcome of this game?

Yes. PSU money line and +2.5. And not a bet with my heart. Psu should have been at least a three point fav.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

a baseball glove at a football game?

the shirtless look in 30 degree weather is never something that I'll understand

 

[Ludd]

A turnover now would be huge.

 

[trufan]

We now have exactly twice as many yards as Clemson: 314 to 157

And over double their points, see AK is a genius

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

Dabo must have done something to upset God.

 

[Pa$ky859]

I will miss Pena

Hopefully the new OC has better ideas for how to run a two-point conversion.

We weren’t ready to run the play, which was a bad play call anyway. Probably too busy celebrating to handle their business on the two point play. Hopefully Campbell cleans this stuff up.

 

[DELion]

Clemson WR's need hand warmers

 

[PAgeologist]

Cold weather NFL teams scratching some names off their potential draft boards.

 

[EricLAllen]

#9 drops the Edy's again.

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

They are up by 12?

Oooff. And he edited it. And the bit he edited was dumb too ( I.e. what’s the difference between an 8 or 9 point lead)

 

[LionsAndBears]

They are up by 12?

Yeah, my bad. I'm watching this after a 16 hr shift and no sleep in 30 hrs.
