Official '26 PSU - Minnesota game thread

[Shifty15]

Add to that…when the hell are we going to get a REAL punter?

 

[CyphaPSU]

Was it fool’s gold that we scored with our opening drive of the third quarter? The same second half pattern rears its ugly head yet again.

 

[YeOldeCup]

First half focus and intensity have evaporated. WTH do they do at halftime(s) that make them so weak in the second half???

 

[bdgan]

Well I guess we don’t see Manske this game.

Maybe he can hand it off on the last series.

 

[Phils rug]

About time for Sowell to show up

We did score on the opening drive of the first half
It's not unusual for a team with a big lead to fall off a bit--the problem last week was it took too long to recover
Horrible drive there--bailed out by a penalty

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Saved by the flag.

[DaytonRickster]

Worst third quarter team on the planet.

Dud you see the stat they just posted? PSU -33 pts in 3rd qtrs and -11 pts in 4th qtrs. Not good, not good at all.

-40 now.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

We need to a George Costanza… do the opposite of what the opponent is expecting.

pass on every down

Offense went conservative after going up 35-0.

 

[Shifty15]

Stanford up on VT 24-7 for anyone who cares

 

[KingLando]

I don't think Sowell was held but Brahmer absolutely was

 

[m.knox]

And they were all true at the time. You have this belief that you’re the smartest guy on the board, so you don’t admit when you’re wrong.

lol..... Here is a song parody of Bozz Scaggs' "Lido Schuffle" entitled "Loado Schuffle." Created by AI. Amazing how accurate AI can be.

(Verse 1)
Loado missed the point again, he’s typing in his room
Posting comments all night long, predicting total doom
He reads a headline half-way through, then claims he’s got the facts
He’s locking down the message board, ignoring your attacks
He tells you that your logic’s wrong, your sources are a joke
But if you ask for evidence, his server goes in smoke

(Chorus)
Looaaado, oh-oh-oh-oh
He’s got a theory for everything
Looaaado, oh-oh-oh-oh
He’s got a comment to bring
He’s a legend in his own mind, a digital king
One more thread, then he’s gonna make the keyboard sing

(Verse 2)
He’s citing wikis from ten years ago to back his point of view
He’s dropping links to blogs that he just manufactured too
He’s got a badge for "Top Fan" but he acts like he’s the dean
The most insufferable blowhard that the web has ever seen
You try to mute, you try to block, but Loado will appear
To type "Well, actually..." and spread his condescending sneer

(Chorus)
Looaaado, oh-oh-oh-oh
He’s got a theory for everything
Looaaado, oh-oh-oh-oh
He’s got a comment to bring
He’s a legend in his own mind, a digital king
One more thread, then he’s gonna make the keyboard sing

(Bridge)
(Synthesizer solo, accompanied by the furious clicking of a mechanical keyboard)
He’s never wrong!
Just ask him, he'll tell you!
He’s typing in caps lock now!

(Verse 3)
Now the thread is locked down tight, the mods have had enough
But Loado’s in the DM channels, spinning more fake stuff
He’s standing on his soapbox, screaming at the screen
The absolute smartest guy that’s never yet been seen
He’s gonna win the argument if it takes him all damn night
Because in Loado’s universe, he is always right!

(Chorus)
Looaaado, oh-oh-oh-oh
He’s got a theory for everything
Looaaado, oh-oh-oh-oh
He’s got a comment to bring
He’s a legend in his own mind, a digital king
One more thread, then he’s gonna make the keyboard sing

(Outro)
Loado shuffle on down...
"Well, actually..."
Loado shuffle on down...
Yeah, he knows it all!
Type it out, blowhard, type it on out...
(Fade out on the sound of aggressive mouse clicking

Play calling gets predictable in the second half.

 

[Phils rug]

Nice punt atleast

 

[KingLando]

Becht's played well today but I wish he'd just in the damn pocket instead of always looking to escape before he has to

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

So much for getting Manske some snaps. This team is so frustrating.

 

[m.knox]

Play calling gets predictable in the second half.

And execution lacks.

 

[bdgan]

PSU's 3rd qtr strategy seems to be run up the middle on every play and try to hang on.

 

[Ludd]

Need a turnover here.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Yup, he ran out of a good pocket and into pressure on the last play.

 

[Ludd]

PSU's 3rd qtr strategy seems to be run up the middle on every play and try to hang on.

Run up the middle on the first two downs, then have Becht roll out and throw it away.

 

[Bison13]

If Campbell is content was just running the ball three consecutive times then at least take the clock all the way down to one second before snapping it.

 

[Phils rug]

Let's go D. Get it together

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

What's ridiculous is that we had a 35 point lead and we've given up explosive pass play after explosive pass play featuring man coverage in a "cover zero" scheme with the Minny receivers by themselves at least 5 to 10 yards behind all defenders. That is ridiculous to be giving up these quick scoring drives when you're leading 35-0 midway through 3rd quarter.

 

[m.knox]

LOL... flag.

 

[CyphaPSU]

And execution lacks.

Especially on defense.

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

We can't do a single thing correct.

 

[Big_O]

Sloppy play in the second half again.

And they must be allergic to running a screen play.

How's your boy doing tonight?

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

That was a bs DPI call

 

[KingLando]

Gotta give some credit to Lindsey--the TD pass over Zayas and that sideline throw were perfect

 

[Nothing Special]

Shaky PI call

 

[MtNittany]

Sbarro catering.

 

[m.knox]

First down MN........

 

[Phils rug]

How was that not grounding

Edit they called it

 

[YeOldeCup]

Completely went away from the 1st half pressure rush to a 4 man that is not getting through.
