Official ‘26 PSU - Marshall Game Thread

[lemonears]

The Martin comments are odd--is it just because he stayed? We all know who the top two backs are going to be
This is the equivalent (not as bad but close) to people wanting him to play last year

Martin reminds me of Larry Johnson.

I don't see that but I sure hope you're right--I do think he'll be very good

 

[Nittering Nabob]

I thought Curt Warner. A tall, lopey runner.

This State Farm commercial with Cignetti is pretty good

 

[leinbacker]

Remember, someone once said, "you are never as good as you think when you win"

So we can still be miserable.

 

[PSUForever]

Sun in his eyes, pass interference by the defender and he still catches the ball. I’m gonna continue to beat this dead horse, why in the world was this kid not playing last year

Because we had a horse's rear end coach who answered to the name of Big Game James.

He can't hurt us anymore--we're okay now

 

[PSUForever]

Helfrich is awful

Indeed he is. He just mumbled and rambled for like 30 seconds. Talk about stealing a paycheck.

Ego - he went out in the portal to bring in 3 mercenaries and damn if he was going to let a player already in the program make that look bad.

 

[Big_O]

Nicely executed punt coverage. Special teams look better than last year. Would like to see it continue.

He did enough damage last year to last a few years.

Especially when his Yinzer accent comes out at the end.

 

[PSUForever]

What a pick!

 

[PSUForever]

Oh I forgot all these ISU guys couldn't play coming from the weak Big 12.

 

[KingLando]

The catch was impressive on that pick--very impressive

 

[Ludd]

That answer comes when we get to conference games.

Maybe I was wrong and we should do a welfare check on you when we check on Marshall

 

[BobPSU92]

A$$. BEATING.

 

[KingLando]

Won't lie--this was better than I was expecting. I was going to be happy with a 31-13 win

 

[G3624]

I'm glad your happy Bob.

 

[Big_O]

I’m glad that the backups are getting quite a bit of experience. Don’t know if that would have occurred with BGJ.

 

[Big_O]

Stadium is a bit empty at this nail biter of a game. ;-)

 

[KingLando]

They probably wanted to catch the end of Oregon-Boise

I guess you don't get many dry, 72 degree days for tailgating

 

[Binder74]

I'm liking everything so far against Marshall. I really like the defensive effort that had been lacking since Manny was here.

 

[KingLando]

All 4 backs had very similar days rushing--hopefully the OL starts getting more push/creates lanes moving forward

 

[Paws057]

Oops!

 

[PSUForever]

That answer comes when we get to conference games.

Yeah we need to see that but last year vs worse competition, we had guys who we thought could light it up in conference competition like Allar, Singleton, DDS, Durant, AJ Harris, etc didn't look so hot. Coaching, mental toughness, discipline, motivation all play into it and I like what I see.

 

[Ludd]

What in the world are you talking about? I’m quite sure no one questioned whether the Iowa State players could compete against Sun Belt teams…the question was whether they could compete in the Big Ten…I have always thought they could, but this game doesn’t answer that question…that’s what I was saying.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

The RB position is sorting itself out as the game progresses. It is actually a position of depth. No one is outstanding but PSU is 4-5 deep.

 

[rigi19041]

Campbell's favorites seem to be our best players. Weird.

Who is the best rb?

I’ve never doubted they could play at the Big Ten level because I don’t think the Big 12 is as weak as many on here think it is.

 

[frnkwms1212]

Good energy, execution, fundamentals, discipline, & coaching decisions. Little or no slop. What in the hell did I just watch?

LOL--no, your reply made it very clear what your agenda here is--you don't need to own it
I defended you originally but nope--you're on the same page as Marshall and the other insane Franklin defenders.

Can you say BGJ?

 

[KingLando]

Hansen is--for now

 

[Bwifan]

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Just about the perfect opening game. Dominated yet some things to work on, the run game.

 

[PSUForever]

What? So now the ISU guys can compete in the B10? You just posted that we need to wait and see how they do in conference games. Get a grip.
