Official '26 PSU - USC game thread

[Calabrin]

That was pathetic.

D is so slow.

 

[Phils rug]

Poor tackling strikes again

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

tackling fvcknuts

 

[Calabrin]

Initial contact is not being made on running plays until 5-6 yards beyond the LOS.

 

[m.knox]

8 comes back to haunt.

I'm thinking USC is starting to realize they can run all day.

 

[Moogy]

The rumor is, next year, the NCAA is switching to two-hand touch, so we should be fine.

 

[CoolBean]

PSU can't tackle

 

[BobPSU92]

I hate our “defense”.

 

[m.knox]

91 got manhandled......

 

[84lion]

I hate our “defense”.

Defense? What defense?

 

[BobPSU92]

It never gets better. It is what it is, which is dog sh|t.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, USC -- King Miller with a 13-yard run off an option.

10 play, 70+ yard drive by USC

With the PAT, it's 24-20, USC, with 5:38 left in the 3rd qtr.

 

[KingLando]

Disappointing

 

[TheWizardofCamelot]

How did Ebel even play at ISU? He’s not even D1.

 

[Calabrin]

Torjan's OC looks like a mf genius.

 

[m.knox]

It never gets better. It is what it is, which is dog sh|t.

Hard to believe it's the defense though.

 

[DaytonRickster]

Defense? What defense?

Terrible defense. USC now knows they can run at will.

 

[WestSideLion]

It’s a talent issue on defense. There are maybe 3-4 high level D1 guys out there right now.

 

[Big_O]

Looks like USC starting to pull away.

 

[WestSideLion]

Terrible defense. USC now knows they can run at will.

Riley has come to his senses finally.

 

[PSUfreak2008]

Worthless *** charmin defense back at it

 

[BobPSU92]

We start the 2nd half gifted with great field position. Field goal.

usc then gets the ball at their 25 and goes 75 yards for a TUDDY. like we have no one on the field.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[trufan]

How did Ebel even play at ISU? He’s not even D1.

Missed 2 tackles on one run.

 

[psu0408]

We’ve seen the backup DT play. Where’s Tatsch?

 

[TheWizardofCamelot]

This is truly the most talent deficient front seven I’ve ever seen at PSU.

With all the poor teams I’ve seen since the early 90s, it’s bizarre watching such poor defensive line and LBer play.

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

This defense just gives up way too much yardage to be playing for FGs inside the Redzone like we did on our last possession. USC is now starting to run the ball on us.... they've already put up 322 yards of Total Offense.

 

[PAgeologist]

Its hard to believe there isnt a better linebacker than Ebel on the roster. He blows goats

 

[Chumboshifko1]

who's watching? I'm here for the laughs

Look in the mirror for a real howl.

 

[Marshall2323]

Outside of Rojas, lacking adequate speed required for lateral pursuit from the front 7.

 

[Phils rug]

We’ve seen the backup DT play. Where’s Tatsch?

Out for the game per Steve Jones on the pre game radio show. Also

 

[Moogy]

We didn’t even have anyone around to handle the option. I mean the LB just allowed himself to get engaged with the OL, and no one in the secondary had eyes into the backfield.

Some folks wanted this DC to be our HC.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Is the DT allowed to slow walk onto the field like that?

 

[NittanyChris]

How did Ebel even play at ISU? He’s not even D1.

Time to give Tatsch some more reps.

In better news, Becht looks much sharper today.

 

[Moogy]

Is the DT allowed to slow walk onto the field like that?

Yes, as long as the offense is stupid enough to late sub.

 

[Marshall2323]

We start the 2nd half gifted with great field position. Field goal.

usc then gets the ball at their 25 and goes 75 yards for a TUDDY. like we have no one on the field.

Relax. It's rope a dope.

 

[KingLando]

Is the DT allowed to slow walk onto the field like that?

We have to stop doing the late sub--that's on us--they're just being smart

 

[DaytonRickster]

We’ve seen the backup DT play. Where’s Tatsch?

Tatsch is out with another injury.obviously because USC has done it several times. Becht needs to get the ball snapped and make USC pay with a penalty. PSU just wadted a time out. PSU needs to stop subbing too late with the clock running down.

Is the DT allowed to slow walk onto the field like that?

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Yes, as long as the offense is stupid enough to late sub.

So no, they're not allowed to do that.

 

[KingLando]

So no, they're not allowed to do that.

It's one of those gray area things--all teams do that with a late sub
