Official '26 PSU - Minnesota game thread

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

Great call

 

[SkiSkiSki]

Who's sis Hanson?

 

[KingLando]

Great play call on 3rd down

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With the PAT, it's 28-0, PSU, with 0:33 left in the 2nd qtr

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

He was--it's not just about stats or production. Sometimes it's evident (or should be) what the real issue is
The reality is people just wanted to bash anyone from Iowa State

Not really, he was going down on first contact. Now he's running through arm tackles and making great, quick cuts to open lanes.

Mauser: “Great job running the ball in the first half. We’re gonna air it out in the second.”

 

[KingLando]

Now let's hope we don't win 28-25 lol

 

[Lil Nicky Scarfo]

Hopefully Hansen is okay - looked like his right knee got torqued. Not sure if guy holding his lower leg was being dirty

 

[KingLando]

That's simply not true
There has to be lanes to make a cut to get to them
Like Kayton, Hansen has elite vision but vision doesn't matter when there's no where to go
This doesn't even factor in the ridiculous desire to let 4 guys run the ball

 

[GSPVik]

After looking at some pics, I’m not so sure it’s LaShell

I really don't think it is.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

A nice 42-3 domination would be very nice.

He's calling a great game. The only ones having a bad night is the students. They went from the best to garbage.

Hansen having a day. Minny looks awful. No meltdowns on this board and the Franklin jock sniffers have shut up for now being disappointed we are not struggling.

 

[Phils rug]

We got this, 31-25 lol

 

[KingLando]

And Franklin's down 2 scores to an awful Stanford team at home while the "elite" Grunk's thrown 2 picks--also fumbled but got lucky they didn't lose it

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Why are we calling time outs?? Stupid

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Why are we calling time outs?? Stupid

Because it's wet and they're still playing hard, chance for a fumble.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Didn't look good. PSU is going to need to rely on Wallace and........ perhaps Martin. Does Campbell take his leash off and release Martin from the dog house?

 

[KingLando]

Wasn't he criticized last week for not going for their necks?
Are you scared Minnesota scores here? I'm not--they're terrified.

He's playing well now but struggled earlier in the year. You talk him up so much like he's Derick Henry.

Yup. The fanboys are tight-lipped tonight

lol Martin--the most overrated player in Penn State history because of a bowl game against Clemson

 

[creamery freak]

In all fairness to Minnesota, they are playing like they flew in this AM. Makes me think of our game with Illinois in 94, when the hotel power was sabotaged. Hopefully Minny doesn't have the 2nd half we had in that game.

 

[KingLando]

He did not struggle early in the season--that's a narrative created while ignoring the real issues that existed
He's not remotely Derrick Henry
He's a solid college RB that most teams would be happy to have

 

[Ludd]

Let’s hope we come out and at least get a field goal to start the half.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

A dropped pass away from just about a perfect first half.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Minny was more than willing to go in 28-0… plus we get the ball to start 2nd half…

 

[Ludd]

He had two rushes of 10 yards in the first seven games…that’s struggling whether you think so or not.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

2nd half, keep running the ball but be prepared for Gophers to stack the box.

 

[Meats Lab]

Saban picked Minn outright .

 

[KingLando]

Minny was more than willing to go in 28-0… plus we get the ball to start 2nd half…

And the timeouts wasn't going to change that--just potentially gave us a chance for one more score

 

[KingLando]

No one on our team was breaking runs--I've explained all this and reality shows I was correct
It's okay--I know you still can't comprehend how he scored on a run over 40 today in which he broke about 3 tackles

 

[Phils rug]

Yup. The fanboys are tight-lipped tonight

21-0 Stanford

 

[KingLando]

Stanford 21 Va Tech 0
Thank God he's gone

They also said Hansen was playing hurt to start the year. That too may have led to RB by committee.

 

[LilWashLion]

Screw Saban. I never liked him.

 

[Ludd]

You weren’t correct, but keep telling yourself that. And he’s running well tonight, no doubt.

 

[Grant Green]

Need to make this more interesting.

Over/Under on number of second half arguments Lando gets in?

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

And the timeouts wasn't going to change that--just potentially gave us a chance for one more score

Disagree…but your right… happy now!
