'26 PSU - Michigan game thread

[PAgeologist]

Hard to complain about a 9 minute drive but that last three plays were abysmal. Sowell and the TEs get you down there and nothing called for any of them?

Why would you utilize the advantage of the tallest guys on the field when vertical space to operate is compressed. Makes zero sense.

 

[Big_O]

Third and long and of course UM makes it.

 

[yboby]

What's the deal with Brahmer? Is he double-covered all the time and thus gets no looks? I thought he would be a stud but he doesn't even seem to be at Luke Reynolds level.

 

[DELion]

They should have shown his missed tackles per game on the graphic.

I can't believe they just spotlighted Ebel. Were they doing that ironically?

 

[KingLando]

Marshall's run on 3rd & 3 was way too easily
Come on Lynn

 

[Big_O]

UM just runs it down our throat.

 

[PSUcup]

3rd and 3 and we don’t stack the box against a team that can’t throw

 

[Big_O]

Third and long. UM has the defense where they want it.

 

[KingLando]

3rd & 9 and Underwood audibles to a run....that's interesting
Then you punt? hmmmm

 

[DaytonRickster]

3rd and 3 and we don’t stack the box against a team that can’t throw

Lynn is really failing as a DC. Consistenly sets the wrong defense.

 

[PSUcup]

Nice play Bacon

 

[Metal Mike]

We win the 1st quarter

He’s been pretty useless for us.

 

[Ludd]

We win the 1st quarter

Maybe we can eat up most of the second quarter, then we’ll be up 6-0.

 

[KingLando]

Lynn is really failing as a DC. Consistenly sets the wrong defense.

My biggest issue is he seems unwilling or unable to adapt but maybe he just doesn't have the personnel he needs
Has to be better either way

 

[LMTLION]

Hansen doing ok so far.

 

[yboby]

True but I think he missed a hole on 1st and goal at the six.

 

[KingLando]

Hansen doing ok so far.

There's a lack of blocking but, generally, when there's a lane he takes advantage of it

 

[KingLando]

Christ--Sowell is down

 

[Ludd]

There goes our shot to win this one.

 

[BobPSU92]

Sowell down.

 

[LMTLION]

There goes our shot to win this one.

Seriously. So many injuries it is unfathomable. Sowell was giving it his all this season. Only transfer worth the money.

 

[Bones80]

Christ--Sowell is down

Ankle. Doubt he returns. Looked bad.

 

[BostonNit]

Couldn’t have been. They would have called it otherwise.

However it WAS called on a completed pass, so it's not like it bailed us out or anything.

 

[KingLando]

Time to try Q in the slot

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

Are we cursed or something. I’ve never seen as so many injuries as these past two years. It’s so common it’s becoming predictable.

 

[Phils rug]

Can't catch a damn break

 

[RochLion]

Ugh, we just can't catch a break.

 

[rudedude]

 

[PSUcup]

Brahmer is a massive disappointment

 

[PSUForever]

What do you know? An injury to a key player.

 

[PSUForever]

We probably don't get any more points.

 

[MtNittany]

I'm not sure I can watch this.

 

[KingLando]

That sack is the kind of play that truly frustrates me with Rocco so far--all QBs miss throws but sometimes he panics early.

 

[LMTLION]

We probably don't get any more points.

Maybe on defense but not on offense.

 

[BostonNit]

Sowell down.

Is there a reason we can't have nice things? He's been playing well.

 

[rudedude]

That sack is the kind of play that truly frustrates me with Rocco so far--all QBs miss throws but sometimes he panics early.

Did you see the non block by Goodman on that play? No wonder he doesn’t have time. Goodman is Nogoodman!

 

[PSUcup]

That sack is the kind of play that truly frustrate me with Rocco so far--all QBs miss throws but sometimes he panics early.

yep. Terrible pocket awareness. And 18 was open

 

[KingLando]

I'm not sure I can watch this.

I mean, we don't have our top two WRs--winning without Howard was unlikely--now need Michigan's offense to spot us some points

 

[LMTLION]

Brahmer is a massive disappointment

One of the biggest disappointments of the year. Seems scared to get hit in big boy ball.
