Official PSU - Maryland Game Thread

[Big_O]

How many fourth and ones has PSU not converted this year?

 

[m.knox]

Terrible call on the 4th down

It was the right spot on the field to go for it, but why even fake the sweep to #5. It just gave the D time to penetrate. Take the snap and go. Not a fan of the play calling so far.

 

[HpyVly]

The play calls by this coaching staff are simply infuriating at times!

 

[m.knox]

Why go funkeration on 4-1

Way to much "funkeration" today..............

Give me the old counter trey.....

It doesn't help when one player messes up their block every run. Walker beat badly inside. Warren isn't a natural runner either.

Agree about the fake. Give it or just plow ahead.

U don’t need power runner dancing

 

[AtlantaLion]

Why are we running Cliff? Trying to get him hurt again?

 

[JWB389]

Our offense is just really slow

 

[Ram20]

Worst 4th and 1 team in the country.

I'd rather 4th and 6 then 4th and 1 with this offense.

feels like ricky rahne all over again

 

[Paws057]

Nice block Wallace!

Yeah, the OL can be really disappointing... Like just now................. Thankfully we were able to convert.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

I thought Lovett was at least suppose to be fast.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Wallace with the whiff! Ugh!

 

[Midnighter]

Dotson‘s hands are incredible.

 

[GregInPitt]

Whiff by Wallace. Seems to be happening way too often this season.

 

[AtlantaLion]

Delay of Game? WTF?!

 

[m.knox]

Our offense is just really slow

Just last series. 10 got to the edge and couldn't run away from anyone. Ended up stopping and trying to reverse field. I'd love for any one of our backs just to lay some damn wood on a tackler.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

What makes them think this line can run a screen?

 

[Alphalion75]

Is it me or is this offense so frustrating to watch?

 

[m.knox]

What makes them think this line can run a screen?

How many have been called so far? It's like he's trying to emulate OSU.

 

[LionsAndBears]

What makes them think this line can run a screen?

In theory it's the right call when the D keeps bringing pressure. In theory...

 

[Wlawnlion]

What makes them think this line can run a screen?

That screen was there if Clifford makes the pass instead of back peddling

 

[Ram20]

Is it me or is this offense so frustrating to watch?

I thought they looked good early in the season, although we could only pass block then. Now we don't pass or run block, that will result in poor offense. SOmeone needs to be called to account for this offensive line.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

This offensive line seriously sucks!

 

[NittPicker]

The play calls by this coaching staff are simply infuriating at times!

Do you have a problem with running the wildcat using a big backup TE? It’d be crazy to use someone like an RB or WR.

 

[VaDave4PSU]

Delay of Game? WTF?!

Play clock seemed super fast that time.

 

[JWB389]

Thought we were offsides on that punt

 

[blion72]

Is it me or is this offense so frustrating to watch?

It depends on an active running QB and an accurate deep passer. We have neither maybe if Clifford was 100%

 

[RochLion]

Dotson‘s hands are incredible.

I'd almost say Engram-like.

 

[Alphalion75]

Almost another dumb coaching move. We had the punt block play on a 4th and 3 and the kid Almost jumped offside. You only go for the block on 4th and 6 or more. This is not rocket scientist stuff.

 

[FrontierLion]

Is it me or is this offense so frustrating to watch?

Not just frustrating but boringgg!! I like a good defensive battle every once in a while, but my God is this boring!

 

[s1uggo72]

Gd I hate that pass protection. Half *** run fake guard pulls. Sack comes from the pulling g side

 

[m.knox]

Great effort #3.

 

[HarrisburgDave]

One of those days I guess.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

This offensive line seriously sucks part 2!

 

[PhillyBillyReprise]

Penn State is allowing Maryland to hang around. That ain’t good.

 

[HarrisburgDave]

Shut them down and don’t give up cheap points now.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

53 stinks…70 stinks…79 stinks

 

[Alphalion75]

The issue with the running game is that the backs are not explosive enough to hit the holes coupled with the line not holding their blocks. Saquon didn't need the line to hold their blocks long.

 

[Bid D from Philly]

This offense is hard to watch. 7 points at the half against this team is bad.
