Official ‘26 PSU - Northwestern game thread

[PSUForever]

We better significantly up our NIL and Campbell better get recruiting in gear or this will stay ugly for us. Maybe not this ugly but probably middle of the pack B10 type team ugly.

 

[LMTLION]

It hurts that Lynn is the freaking d coordinator responsible for the worst effort I have ever seen in my life. Should have loaded the box

 

[Efejle]

Just over and over. Up the middle and defensive line driven 10 yards down field. Incredible. These two are the softest, weakest 330 pound football players I have ever seen and That is not hyperbole

 

[Calabrin]

Everyone hates you. Does that feel weird?

That’s a weird thing on which to spend energy. Do you think I spend my week red-faced, hating other teams?

You seem like you need therapy, maybe.

 

[m.knox]

Ask the staff

Prove it. You said it. Prove it.

lmfao.. You are such a blowhard.

 

[Marshall2323]

Move on. Or go watch him lose at VT.

Is this the game that defines the Matt Campbell era?

 

[MtNittany]

Which State College grocery stores still give out paper grocery bags? Asking for a friend.

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

Is this the game that defines the Matt Campbell era?

It could be. Would you prefer to have Franklin back so you can watch him lose his way?

I'd say you're Purdue, but I think Purdue is actually better.

 

[Connorpozlee]

I get the anger right now but I have no idea what people wanted considering when he was hired
We'll have tons of money this offseason to spend

I’m not coming from a position of anger. I get why we’re seeing this shitshow this year. I’m saying this offseason. I’m hoping Campbell puts a priority on bringing in talent. Good guys that try hard but can’t catch a Northwestern running back won’t cut it. He needs to be buying recruits that can make an immediate impact and portal guys that can do the same.

 

[Calabrin]

I am reallly sorry that the one team that the entire country hates because you shelter child rapers is now the laughingstock of the Big Ten.

You even got that wrong. Ohio elected their coach that shielded a rapist to congress. How about Michigan State? Ever hear of Larry Nassar?

It’s so weird that 15 years later, you’re still trying to smear the entire university for the actions of one person. This is F-tier trolling, buddy. Is there anything you’re actually good at?

 

[Anon17909968308122780]

Penn State is the new Purdue

 

[Marshall2323]

It could be. Would you prefer to have Franklin back so you can watch him lose his way?

Better than getting blown out in the 1st half. How about Campbell's shoe laces?
Great in game coaching is sure making a difference.

 

[BostonNit]

Criticize Rocco all you want. He’s the least of our problems. Can’t run, can’t block, bad defense.

He plays the most important position and has done so more than any other person currently in CFB. Does his performance look like that?

 

[PSUForever]

It hurts that Lynn is the freaking d coordinator responsible for the worst effort I have ever seen in my life. Should have loaded the box

He may have been a bad hire. Not ready to conclude that yet but off to a horrible start. Plus we apparently have no talent, athleticism or physicality on defense. But besides that we are fine.

 

[Marshall2323]

Penn State is the new Purdue

Kraft promised excellence at the highest level.

 

[KingLando]

Prove it. You said it. Prove it.

lmfao.. You are such a blowhard.

I repeated it--its not new info

 

[KingLando]

I am reallly sorry that the one team that the entire country hates because you shelter child rapers is now the laughingstock of the Big Ten.

Just calling it out on who you are--not sure why you got upset

 

[PSUForever]

Well your football team isn't good at much. Child rape aside. You guys just suck. Enbrace it.

Tom, get rid of this guy please.

 

[m.knox]

I repeated it--its not new info

Prove it. Show us the evidence.

 

[KingLando]

A loss is still a loss
It's actually better getting blown out--it's not heartbreaking

 

[Psurock]

Iowa State is not the answer. How has their performance translated to the BTN?

 

[KingLando]

Prove it. Show us the evidence.

Forcing me to be you and repeat myself...

 

[m.knox]

Tom, get rid of this guy please.

Can you believe Loado actually replied to the troll?

 

[Calabrin]

Welp. A bunch of us did say there was a distinct possibility we’d get blown out this week. At least there weren’t a ton of people stupidly insisting, “No way, man! You’re just a doomer! A hater! We’re gonna bounce back this and run the table!”

This might be the worst team in the history of this program. Last week, I thought this was shaping to be a 5-7 season, but those that were saying 3-9 are looking like they might be right.

White Out is going to be 50% full. USC 58, PSU 10.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[Nothing Special]

415 rushing yards allowed
508 total yards
#5 & # 6 combined for 350 yards on 35 carries. 10 yards a carry over 35 rushes!!
Rushed for 48 yards on 22 carries. 2.2 yards per carry.

Offensive and defensive lines are horrible
I've lost track of how many years in a row this is where "the offensive line should be the strength of the team"

Again, someone with a strong football mind, please explain to me why the starting quarterback cannot be taken out of a game for poor play. It is the only position that has no accountability in game.

 

[m.knox]

Forcing me to be you and repeat myself...

So you aren't going to show us the evidence. Got it.

 

[Chumboshifko1]

The identity of Penn State was lost long ago.

 

[Anon1750875978]

Becht has never had a reputation of having a strong arm.

That didn't change tonite.

Just ugly all the way around.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[PSUForever]

Who had 0-2 in the B10 and looking like a complete dumpster fire in the process on their bingo card? I didn't. I feel like a total fool for thinking this team could win 9 or possibly 10 games. More like lose 9 games.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[stater02]

Can’t wait to hear “We couldn’t find our rhythm” 50 times when asked why we suck so badly.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Very ugly start to the Campbell era. Again, not all his fault…he was done no favors by his AD. Tough decisions ahead for the new staff, especially concerning the QB. Not sure any of it is going to matter considering he just doesn’t have the talent to compete.

 

[Nits74]

The last two games convince me that Penn State would be far better off had they stayed with Franklin

This is very spot on.

 

[royboy]

He’s the biggest problem. If the defense isn’t concerned about your QB beating them it makes it all the more difficult to run the ball

Add to it he’s missing wide open WRs for literal walk in TDs.

He’s the worst since Matt Seneca

Rob Bolden says hello.

 

[psuno1]

Is this the game that defines the Matt Campbell era?

I hope not but he is in way over his head.
