The constant shifting of the DL obviously isn't working

Bench the entire first team.

Was McPherson coached to expend absolutely no effort on that touchdown run? What the hell is going on out there?

This is 2 games in a row Rocco has stunk the place up - welcome to the Big10 not the little 12 no defense league - he needs to sit he can’t even make the easy throws.

Down at the 1 foot

Look at the body language out there. They are going through the motions.

You have to stop--your emotion is blinding you. You're frustrated like they are--no one "quit"--they're just a mess right now--have to fix a lot of things but "they're going through the motions" is what you want to be true not what is happening. That's what happened last year against UCLA and NW

Again...you're overstating it. They're frustrated and should be. That's not "lost a team"

I'd feel better if the team had quit, asw bad as they are playing. At least that would explain how bad they are.

It's not just Rocco.

Even the years PSU had amazing defenses this was an Achilles heal. For like 40 years. I don’t get it.

I will never forget 1999 at home vs Minnesota. Gophers facing 4th and 19 with Lavar Arrington and Courtney Brown on the field, and they convert and go on to win, beginning a 3-game losing streak.

434/3 for Grunk. Last time PSU had a 400y QB was 21’

can’t make this crap up

I'm out... pathetic

Did we not all discuss all week this was likely?

DukeCorey21 · Friday at 9:47 PM

I hope the stadium is empty for the White Out, why would anyone go?

The Song Remains the Same · Friday at 9:47 PM

hahahahaha CJF kicker misses game winning fg. CJF loses to a backup QB

NittannyLion85 · Friday at 9:47 PM

Pitt beat VT. CJF squandered a 14-0 lead. Sounds familiar in more ways than one.

Numbers are often misleading. Passing yards get "inflated" when you're playing from behind after blowing a 24-7 lead.

Efejle · Friday at 9:47 PM

375 yards rushing. Still in the third quarter.

m.knox · Friday at 9:48 PM

BGJ goes down on a last second FG miss...

pennstatefan111 · Friday at 9:48 PM

I better hear someone from this team say they got embarrassed tonight

So we can expect to see our passing numbers get inflated in this game?

Calabrin · Friday at 9:48 PM

lol. The spread favored Penn State. The **** are these people smoking? Taking Northwestern and the points had to be one of the most popular bets of the week across all sports.

Efejle · Friday at 9:48 PM

James just lost to Pitt by playing for a field goal instead of trying to get into the end zone.

NoBareFeet · Friday at 9:48 PM

In all seriousness, this has to be D'Anton Lynn's last game. He was beyond awful at Southern Cal. And it hasn't taken him long to destroy this defense.

Think it was a 17-7 lead. Then VT gets ball back on their 20 with 1 min left in the first half and they come out throwing leading to an int.

Our running yards need to be inflated....Lol

Dbsteel · Friday at 9:50 PM

This team is unwatchable. Im shocked they are this bad but I shouldn't be. You cant turn this mess around.

As bad as Rocco is, he did give up 375 yards rushing.

You mean unlike the “turtling up” he always got accused of here?

Not without Howard but aren't they already kind of inflated? We should be a 60/40 run team

Fair but still. PSU had been down big points plenty of times in JF’s tenure and didn’t have 400+ passing yards.

We’re talking trash when we have one of the two or three worst teams in the Big Ten…that’s funny.

It wasn't--see the line
I took Northwestern

Why, we have no run game either.
