Game Thread: Northwestern at Penn State

[TheC]

What an a$$hole question from that reporter. I know these guys get paid now, but they are still mostly kids.

 

[Hungry Jack]

Winnable game here

 

[TheC]

Let's drive the field now and get these fans really booing!

 

[Cool Cat]

The intended receiver was wide open. The PSU rusher just made a great play to rush the throw. I'm okay with the play call; the routes are clearly working.

Ok. But if we want to win, run the ball and stop the run. It's that simple!

 

[Deeringfish]

Miss Saka. Especially as the game wears on

 

[TheC]

Really nice by Stone to survey the field and find his man!

 

[TheC]

Don't get too cute. Run the ball.

Like that! Nice 7 yard gain

 

[Fanaticat98]

Too tentative and vanilla on 3rd and 3 to end a drive.

Probably thinking two downs, but then gained nothing on 3rd

 

[TheC]

Mistakes even!!!!!!!!

 

[989bjm989]

Okay special teams, you’re back at even!

 

[989bjm989]

Please score at TD here.

 

[Harris_Island]

Reeder is putting his name on this season.

 

[Cool Cat]

PATIENCE!!! They will beat themselves

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

NU fields that put cleanly and likly takes the lead into the half.

PSU returns the favor!

 

[TheC]

How are there not enough numbers between 0 and 100 for everyone to not have their own number?

 

[Fanaticat98]

Who! Wha a break to even out the muffed punts. Gotta score a TD.

 

[TheC]

Do you put Boe in here to add the threat of a QB run?

Stones been good I wouldn’t mix it up.

 

[989bjm989]

**** - Eligons been coming on but only looks muscular not knee.

 

[TheC]

Stones been good I wouldn’t mix it up.

Not going to happen now with 3rd and long. Kinda' wish they kept running

 

[TheC]

Why on earth do you run backwards???!!!!

 

[TheC]

Big kick!!

 

[989bjm989]

Brutal 3rd down but we are in the lead. Win!

 

[NU Houston]

Jack Olsen!

Jack Olsen!

 

[Deeringfish]

Have we passed to a tight end yet today?

 

[TheC]

Imagine if PSU doesn't score on this drive. The pressure will be enormous for them.

 

[Cool Cat]

Defense hold here and it's a rap!

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

Making that FG FELT like a TD to me. I was scared to death we were going to miss it.

 

[NUcats92]

Have we passed to a tight end yet today?

Yes Alex lines in the first half

[Fanaticat98]

Olsen bailed out a bad situational awareness sack by Stone. In those situations the guy is in your face chuck it hard out of the end zone, don’t turn your back and lose 8 more yards.

I fear we needed a TD there.
If only we can get a stop and turn around with a several minute TD drive.

 

[NUcats92]

The one thing that frustrates me with our OC is why not use the tight ends when we get in the red zone ffs not gonna win this game with field goals needed the TD there but taking the 3 points was a win for the other team

 

[989bjm989]

I’m banking on it!!!

We NEEDED to take the lead. We at least accomplished that. We've given our good defense a chance.

 

[989bjm989]

F.

 

[bringbacktherantboard]

It happens. Hold them to a FG.

 

[TheC]

Two damn plays

 

[989bjm989]

So bad. Can’t believe we blew that long play. 21 just fell down. Honest mistake but man…
