Official '26 PSU - USC game thread

[KingLando]

Had 6 there--yikes

 

[KingLando]

Mostly not his players.

Oh--they're his players--just like MC has his players
Everyone on that roster is someone he wanted there

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

I'd punt. Why give PSU field position on a 50/50 proposition.

 

[Phlebitis]

Jesus Rojas is awful in space

For sure a big weakness of his. It Is strange.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

I don’t mind Joseph taking his lumps. He’s one of the young guys on the team who has the potential to ultimately be a playmaker on D.

 

[Phils rug]

Missed the fg!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

another 3rd & 10 for USC ...

incomplete

USC to attempt a 56-yard FG

USC calls TO just before the ball is snapped

No good ... wide right

 

[KingLando]

Good stop

 

[Ludd]

Or score 60....

And we know that’s not going to happen, so pray for turnovers.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Stupid call. No wonder he's on the hot seat.

 

[rigi19041]

Fine with me…he had to go.

True. Problem is the team and coaching is worse

 

[KingLando]

He's borderline not playable right now though
Either you need to give him help or sit him

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Why did it take so long to figure out?

Fair question.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

True. Problem is the team and coaching is worse

Coaching will be much better once they restock the pantry.

 

[PSUForever]

Zero confidence in our D. They are probably good for one other stop the rest of the way.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Fair question.

Especially when just about everyone was yelling to make this adjustment 2nd half against NW.

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

The defense just lacks athletes on the edges. That USC screen pass on 3rd and 10 showed it

That was a screen pass - it was not the DL or edge rushers fault. Rojas should have tackled runner for no gain, but took a horrendously bad pursuit angle causing him to over-run the ball-carrier when he cut to the outside.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Was Becht injured so he had a harder time throwing on the rollout?

 

[rigi19041]

Oh--they're his players--just like MC has his players
Everyone on that roster is someone he wanted there

Difference is Campbell went to a team with more money and Franklin went to a team with less money. Franklin's team has improved amd camp ells team has regressed.

They lost to Pitt & Cal--they're not improved
We were 6-6 last year--above 500 right now

 

[Phlebitis]

I don’t mind Joseph taking his lumps. He’s one of the young guys on the team who has the potential to ultimately be a playmaker on D.

I agree but his showboating on the PI call play, then getting owned for a TD because of the PI call is exactly why you don’t do that crap. Hopefully he’ll learn.

 

[SkiSkiSki]

Franklin haters thought anyone could win with Franklin's players. It took them a year to figure out the team won't have Franklin's players without Franklin.

How did your boy do today? Must have bounced back strong after that loss to Pitt, huh?

 

[Marshall2323]

Hit him in a bad place

 

[KingLando]

That drop by Peoples is why Hansen plays more than Peoples

 

[Calabrin]

3rd and 11... throws for 5 yards.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

And just like that, Becht is a pocket QB again.

 

[Phils rug]

What a wasted opportunity

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

And that series of offensive brain farts was loud enough to be heard all the way into Bellefonte. Great way to kill the momentum the team had....

 

[Marshall2323]

How did your boy do today? Must have bounced back strong after that loss to Pitt, huh?

Who is your "boy?"

 

[OUIrPSU]

That drop by Peoples is why Hansen plays more than Peoples

Alright already, we get it. Jeez

 

[CoolBean]

RB sucks

 

[KingLando]

And just like that, Becht is a pocket QB again.

you can't roll him on every play--Peoples catches that ball we're probably still driving

 

[SkiSkiSki]

Ole!

 

[KingLando]

Alright already, we get it. Jeez

you may...

 

[Phils rug]

This would be a great time for a turnover

 

[Calabrin]

How did your boy do today? Must have bounced back strong after that loss to Pitt, huh?

JF teams known for their ability to bounce back.

[checks scores]

D'oh!

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

And just like that, we throw away great field position and a chance to grab the momentum. 3-&-out capped off by a really bad throw by Becht. Throws way behind receiver, doesn't plant feet, wings it...... brutal.

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

This team tackles like a bunch of drunk sailors on shore leave

 

[Marshall2323]

33 slow. Shouldn't be in coverage

 

[OUIrPSU]

Y'all know the Bama-Georgia game is on, too, right?
