Official PSU - Maryland Game Thread

[GregInPitt]

I thought Defense strength is DB, being burnt for this whole quarter

On the MD TD, TCF was in a different zip code and that was his side. TCF has played very average this season.

Franklin talks about facilities upgrades and such to compete at a higher level. How do our facilities compare to Maryland and Illinois? My guess is PSU has better ones but it does not show on the fiel

And PSU has higher rated recruits.

 

[VaDave4PSU]

We don't target Dotson in 9OT vs Illinois: "why don't we use Dotson."

Dotson has 3 TDs: "he's our only bright spot. "

Shesh.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Kalen King and Joey Porter are the CBs on this drive.

 

[bluewhiteapos]

Let’s call it how it is… we are closer to Rutgers and Maryland than to OSU, MSU, Michigan, Iowa, and Wisconsin. This is a joke right now.

MSU is trailing Purdue 34-21 mid 4th.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 12, Tago tries to spin away from pressure, but Ellis Brooks and Tarburton force him to throw it away, so MD has to punt.

 

[LionsAndBears]

That was a huge Defensive stop after the TD. Mo is on our side. Gotta feel good about the W if we can score here.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

MD converts the 2-pt conversion.

14-14, with 14:56 left in the game.

PSU blitzed on the conversion (Brisker and Hardy), but nice place by the QB and the WR.

TE?

 

[VaDave4PSU]

Kalen King and Joey Porter are the CBs on this drive.

Katshir and Reed in for Smith and Jacob's as well.

 

[JoeBot409]

MSU is trailing Purdue 34-21 mid 4th.

How many top 10 wins do they have this year? Enough said.

 

[Alphalion75]

On the MD TD, TCF was in a different zip code and that was his side. TCF has played very average this season.

He was average last year too.

 

[Midnighter]

How many top 10 wins do they have this year? Enough said.

One, right? Michigan?

 

[NittPicker]

Put one nail in the coffin. Is that too much to ask? Even a FG would make me happy.

 

[PSU73]

Great protection allows JD to break free and an assist with a block prevents a potential tackle. I'd like to see this happen again.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TE?

Yeah, I think it was the TE. My mistake.

 

[CoolBean]

this is a problem with Penn State, they get conservative with the lead. 3 and out

 

[Tom McAndrew]

that was a crappy 3 & out by PSU's O

 

[ManxomeLion]

Seemed like MD was offsides on that punt?

 

[CoolBean]

what's wrong with #98 today, bad punts all day long

 

[Tom McAndrew]

damn, Stout shanks the punt, and it's marked at midfield. MD did send pressure on the punt, but Stout rarely shanks his punts.

 

[PSU73]

After MD's last 3 and out.

 

[Ram20]

and now we cant punt. UGH. This team has never handled success

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Great drive there with the chance to take control of this mess

 

[ILLINOISLION]

How many FUDGING times are we going to throw short of the sticks on third (or fourth) fudging down?

DUMB DUMB DUMB!

 

[blion72]

that was a crappy 3 & out by PSU's O

Running 21 is not what we need. Where is Lee?

 

[NittPicker]

Ugh. Sometimes it seems they don't even want to take control of the game.

 

[MrTailgate]

What was the thought on 3rd down? Play had no chance.

 

[blion72]

Great drive there with the chance to take control of this mess

Stout not getting it done punting

 

[Alphalion75]

Another 3 and out. This coaching staff can always find a way to turn a positive into a negative situation.

 

[JWB389]

Clifford is under pressure on every pass.

 

[m.knox]

Running 21 is not what we need. Where is Lee?

Good question.

 

[m.knox]

MD attacking the edge again. PSU needs to step up.

And they did. Via a dropped pass.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Lee is averaging 5 yards a carry, PSUs leading rusher, so completely missing last series.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 7, and MD does not convert (went through the hands of Fleming on a crossing route)

MD goes for it on 4th down

and ...

a flag for false start by the LT of MD. That makes it 4th & 12, so MD is going to punt

 

[AZ Lion]

We keep getting lucky with these dropped passes by MD.

 

[NittPicker]

If we win, the game ball goes to the MD receivers for helping out our defense.

 

[step.eng69]

QB…Taug has the game in control for a MD win

 

[Tom McAndrew]

MD punt goes into the end zone, so PSu will start on the 20 with 10:28 left in the match, and up 21-14.

Lee back in at RB.

 

[GregInPitt]

Clifford is under pressure on every pass.

Except for the plays that he has 5 seconds to throw and holds the ball for a sack.

But yes, the OL is not ready for prime time.
