Official '26 PSU - USC game thread

[Ludd]

This is the worst Penn State team I ever seen

You missed the early 2000’s apparently.

 

[Marshall2323]

Team is worse than last seaso

The scary part is that unlike the last 2 losses, this may be the best they can play. Who said this is fixable?

 

[Phlebitis]

They certainly have worse players.

By an order of magnitude.

 

[DukeCorey21]

Seriously has Penn State won more than 2 White Out games? Who do they have them, it’s a guaranteed loss every season?

 

[PSUForever]

We played better but clearly don't have the talent. Defense a big disappointment. No run game.

 

[AvgUser]

Agreed. Becht played a good overall game with zero run game and minus his best receiver and a sub par offensive line. And a terrible defense.

I thought we had four all world TEs?
Stop making excuses for Howard being out. This is the third game already without him. It’s called planning and prep of which we seem to have zero right now
F***ing embarrassing

Team is straight trash

They are 11-8 in those games including tonight so you are wrong again

 

[frnkwms1212]

 

[JVP_Yahweh]

I don't get it either. The defense line can shift, and if they cause the offense to move so be it. Why was there a penalty???

It's a terrible call. You never see that called. Only against PSU. I hate this conference

 

[DukeCorey21]

You missed the early 2000’s apparently.

No I saw those teams, this one is way worse. They might not win another game

 

[KingLando]

Correction. They really suck. They positively suck. 4-8 coming only because they get a pity win

They win at least 5 but that's no worse than last year considering the talent

 

[Ludd]

They are 11-8 in those games including tonight so you are wrong again

Including 6 in a row at one point…he’s a troll.

Has Duke football ever been relevent?

 

[KingLando]

And Kentucky just beat LSU….thats why you fire a coach and hire a new one, not to be worse.

It's one year...new coaches get 3
We're also not worse

 

[Ludd]

We might not, but the 2003 team was worse.

 

[Psurock]

I just saw that exact sane defense in the Alabama and Georgia game and no call..

 

[Ludd]

We are worse and Stein isn’t taking three years.

 

[Psurock]

Our linebackers took the night off, let alone our QB is not very athletic.

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

This whole last quarter Becht has melted under the pressure. Not sure this team will win any B1G games. The wasting of timeouts this game is a glaring fault. Honestly, even less impressed with Campbell's game management than Franklin's.

Everybody was counting on Purdue as a W........... don't look now, but they're handling Minny pretty easily. I don't see a sure W on our schedule. All the new and different ways this team finds to lose games (especially that awful redzone offense coupled with a really bad defense), I don't see any sure wins on our schedule and we'll be fortunate to win a couple b1g games and may well go 0-fer.

 

[KingLando]

Again all week it was "we're going to be blown out" We lose a competitive game and those same people are acting shocked we lost

 

[DukeCorey21]

They are 11-8 in those games including tonight so you are wrong again

So let’s keep having them since they are so much of an advantage for Penn State. With out these white outs what would their record be?

 

[KingLando]

We are worse and Stein isn’t taking three years.

You have no idea where Kentucky ends this year. They could lose out
We are not worse than last year
I'd have hired Stein over MC but that's not MC's fault

 

[The Song Remains the Same]

You're all being overly critical again
Yes I agree on the time management but not that we won't win a game
We're playing a team almost everyone though would kill us and it's a one score game
Becht took a horrible sack but hasn't played poorly

Hmmm, the Vegas line had us favored......

 

[SkiSkiSki]

PSU coaching tonight:



Mongolian Cluster****.

 

[KingLando]

Hmmm, the Vegas line had us favored......

Vegas did...hence I bet on USC
I thought it was clear I was speaking about this board

Why do you care. You don’t go.

 

[Marshall2323]

Chesney found talent and he is an excellent game manager.

Irrelevant. We were losing anyway.

 

[Alphalion75]

We know Tom.

 

[DukeCorey21]

Really Duke Football and Manny Diaz has been better. At least they won ACC last season. It’s been since what 2016 since Penn State won Big Ten?

 

[KingLando]

Chesney found talent and he is an excellent game manager.

Today he wasn't. Almost cost them the game

 

[bdgan]

Out-played obviously. But more worrisome, very much out-coached.

TOs were embarrassing

 

[KingLando]

They lost to previously 1-3 Georgia Tech today

Last time I brought up KY you said they hadn’t played anyone and now they beat LSU and you say we don’t know where they’ll end up. They’re a far better team than they were last year and they’re light years ahead of where we are. That’s why you fire a coach and hire a new coach, not the crap we’re seeing at Penn State.

 

[BobPSU92]

See you all in 2028.

We probably won’t be playing football by then.

 

[Bvillebaron]

Honestly...it wasn't a bad game. It was competitive. Something to build on.

Out-played obviously. But more worrisome, very much out-coached.

Yep. Kept going with a 3 man rush on third and long which gave the USC QB all day to pick out a receiver to play catch with. Blew several time outs because of late substitution on offense which gave USC time to substitute while the play clock ran out. Blowing your final time out when USC had 4th and 4 from inside its own 20 is easily among the stupidest things I have seen. I think Riley still has a smirk on his face about that.

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Bizarre to dislike your own team. In the age of the portal, I barely know any of these guys. And then they fumble away the game. These ISU guys are in over their head.

Really? Weren't you uber critical of "BGJ" last year?
