Official '26 PSU - Minnesota game thread

How was that not grounding

Edit they called it

It was--good edit

 

[KingLando]

Okay--penalties are helping but that was a horrible attempted tackle

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Yeah, they don't have the talent to just rush 4.

 

[m.knox]

3rd and 26.... will they convert? lol....

 

[FK3JM]

Lynn is such a stupid ***.

 

[Phils rug]

Getting zero pressure now

 

[KingLando]

Lynn is such a stupid ***.

the timing of this was odd lol

 

[m.knox]

Getting zero pressure now

Getting blocked and, well, sometimes held.... Still got to fight off it.

 

[Shifty15]

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.

Zero pressure on the rush just pours gas on that fire.

We're pretty good at giving up those loooong downs lol

PSU gets tired. Poor conditioning

I saw a MN OL hold in the first half by grabbing the DL’s facemask. Of course not called.

It genuinely sure seems that way.

 

[Phils rug]

D finally gets the stop

 

[Tom McAndrew]

4th & 26, at the 50 for Minny, and they are going for it ...

Minny calls time out, as the play clock was about to expire ...

and ...

it's incomplete ... nearly an INT

PSU takes over on downs

33?

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Flags saved us on that defensive stand too.

 

[Phils rug]

Wtf

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

WTF Rocco!!!

 

[bdgan]

Box in upper left corner says we have 100% chance to win but it's not over because Minny still has a 1% chance.

 

[KingLando]

That was an insanely bad call to start the drive--why? pound the rock even without Hansen

 

[Tom McAndrew]

geez, Becht gets sacked on 1st down, making it 2nd & 21. Becht seems shaken up a bit. The Minny defender that got the sack is down and needs assistance.

 

[bdgan]

WTF Rocco!!!

Get rid of the football

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Stupid, just stupid.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Really dirty tackle. It’s what Northwestern does.

Manske hand off time

 

[Ludd]

We want to give Minny as much time as possible.

 

[KingLando]

Get rid of the football

Yes, he should have thrown that into the stands but the play call was even worse

 

[Big_O]

PSU gets tired. Poor conditioning

Poor depth. Inability to substitute with a competent backup.

 

[CyphaPSU]

Well, looks like we will run the ball the rest of the game and play defense.

 

[Nothing Special]

Hard to believe a quick slant wouldn't be open. Every pass play is taking a long time to develop.

 

[Shifty15]

Phenomenal play call there…now you get a QB with 10 plays in his college history.

He’s just going to hand off.

I'm ok with the call but Becht had plenty of time to get rid of the ball.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Hard to believe a quick slant wouldn't be open. Every pass play is taking a long time to develop.

Those passes by Becht would be blocked.

 

[YeOldeCup]

If we could just coach and play all four quarters...

 

[KingLando]

We're up 21--yes, it would be nice to win 77-0 but the only objective is to win. We're going to win by 2 scores or more

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Why does Becht eat the sack there on 1st f'ing Down?!?! All he has to do is throw it away - he was way out of the pocket. He has eaten a sack like this over and over and over again this year (sometimes running OB with the ball instead of heaving it away) - just ridiculous and inexcusable given that he's played a gazillion games.

 

[Phils rug]

Good grief

 

[KingLando]

I'm ok with the call but Becht had plenty of time to get rid of the ball.

You're not wrong--we all know Rocco is going to try to make a play there. OC's have to put their players in the best situation for them to succeed--hate the play call

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Gave up an 11 yard loss on 1st down when all he had to do was chuck it away. Just ridiculous.
