Official PSU - Kent State game thread

Martin runs it to the 1 (or 2)

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU breaks their record for the most yards in a game with Martin's run.

They have 717 total yards. The former record was 711 yards.

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Lots of losing bets then

I do accept eating crow and this is why I actually don't bet money on games.

 

[ManxomeLion]

That Kent State players neck injury looked serious.

 

[Calabrin]

Martin’s elbow was clearly down short of the goal line.

Touchdown, Indiana!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Beau runs it in for a TD on a keeper.

With the PAT (Ryan Barker kicked it), it's 56-0, PSU, with 1:25 left in the game.

That moves their total yards record to 718 yards.

[BostonNit]

409 yds passing on the record setting day. Fitting.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Fun factoid. In PSU's 81-0 win over Cincinnati in 1981, they had 706 yds of offense (484 rushing; 222 passing)

Joe also started taking knees very early in the 4th quarter.

Penn State Coach Joe Paterno pulled his senior quarterback with 5:45 left in the first half after Sacca completed a 13-yard scoring pass to Kyle Brady that gave the Nittany Lions a 33-0 lead.

 

[Ludd]

Tenn 740 yds offense whole game, 541 yds offense first half

We had over 700 as well.

I was at this game, sitting in the north side.
IIRC, Cincinnati beat us a yr or so later.

I've been following Penn State football since 1964, and this Kent State team is probably the worst team I've seen Penn State play.

 

[Marshall2323]

This is the game to test out things to see what works and what doesn’t. No problem with Warren in the wildcat. Was a HS QB. Something else for defenses to prepare for.

But it wasn't cleared by the BWICAC.

Get it right. Allar benched. It’s Beau’s team now.

QB controversy

That’s good. That was the standard people would judge PSU by.

That was my son’s first game. He was 2 years old.

Sorry to break the news to you all, but I saw CEO Franklin coaching today. He was yelling and getting involved.

 

[Roar More]

Things that make you say hmmmm. We had 65 yards in penalties. Kent State had 67 yards in total offense.

9/10/1983: 14-3, Cincinnati over PSU, at Beaver Stadium

The 1983 season was a frustrating one. It's started in the Kickoff Classic, where Nebraska beat PSU 44-6. Cincy was the next game. Then PSU hosted Iowa, and lost to them 42-34. So PSU started off the season 0-3. They then defeated Temple, Rutgers, Alabama (ranked #3), Syracuse, and West Virginia (ranked #4). They then went up to Boston College, and lost 27-17. PSU then defeated Brown, and then Notre Dame. And then the ultimate frustration game, 24-24 tie @ Pitt. PSU ended the season in the Aloha Bowl, where they defeated Washington, 13-10.

Lovin Hakeem Beamon waving the US flag and shaking hands with the military color guard!

It included his Mom!

 

[ILLINOISLION]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they look at targeting on Kent there.

Was reviewed and no targeting!

 

[ILLINOISLION]

King took a shot. They called that a fumble. Close to a pass. Looks like Fabio is out.

Reviewed properly ruled an incompletion his arm had just started forward.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

That sound you hear is thousands of on-line betters clicking their bets to the under for the game at their bookie's site....

HAHA!

We need to stop the offsides horse crap.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

We need to stop the offsides horse crap.

It's a discipline thingy....of which we have little. Franklin needs to decide if he wants to be a parent or a coach.

We got our butts kicked in the Pitt game that year. That tie was a big "FU" to Pitt as they deserved to win but didn't!

You must be mistaken. Nothing went wrong.

I also saw that Franklin has a young male assistant hold his reading glasses. During the 4th quarter he beckoned the young lad and requested his spectacles so that he could "see".
