Official '24 PSU - tOSU game thread

[LB99]

Carter held (no call), still gets the sack.

B1G refs refuse to call holding on OSU, either OL or DBs.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

nice of Allar to elude the blitz, and to find Wallace. PSU in tOSU territory

Stepping up in the pocket making him nfl $$

 

[Calabrin]

Singleton has become a primary target on passing plays. A testament to the lack of weapons at WR.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

shovel pass to Warren, but tOSU defends well

 

[OUIrPSU]

Allar sucks. There, I said it.

 

[WestSideLion]

PSU offense saved its best for the stretch run in a competitive game!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

delayed zone blitz, and tOSU gets him.

Then another sack on 3rd down, so that drive started well, but ended rather ugly, and prematurely

the 2nd sack:

 

[Nittering Nabob]

There are HS players who can punt the ball further than Riley Thompson.

 

[Lionville]

Allar sucks. There, I said it.

He’s choking.

 

[AvgUser]

Kind of fitting PSU playing OSU every year near Halloween.

We all wait around for the great pumpkin only to be greatly disappointed.


Fool me one, shame on you. Fool me eight times in a row….

 

[wbcbus]

Just put Beau in. If we either can’t throw downfield, or Allar won’t, then there is no point in him running the offense. Might as well at least add Beau’s running threat if we can’t throw 10 yards downfield anyway.

 

[Psu00]

Singleton has become a primary target on passing plays. A testament to the lack of weapons at WR.

Singleton’s caught 6 passes.
Warren has 3

All WRs combined have 3. (They had 2 at the half).
-Wallace 2 catches for 45 yds
- Fleming 1 catch for 4 yds

 

[Calabrin]

Honestly, let Beau take the next series. Allar has led us to 6 points in 3 full quarters. What is there to lose?

 

[BostonNit]

Did Gus just call OSU undermanned? Holy crap. That was the dumbest comment in history.

Also Gus... "Jeremiah Smith may become the best wife receiver ever."

 

[Nittering Nabob]

He’s choking.

It's not him. It's Andy....he keeps calling slow developing plays. Wheel routes and short passes are the only thing working.

With nobody getting open at least Beau can scramble

 

[FTLPSU]

Allar sucks. There, I said it.

Not his fault, play calling. We tried to open it up and OSU changed coverages. Better than a turnover…AK will adjust next possession if we can hold them.

 

[grinagrin]

Oregon gave us a game plan of how to attack this OSU defense and we say no thank you. We have our way of doing things SMH

An offensive line might help.

 

[PSU-LBU11]

Scheme helps compensate for skill. Was hoping we'd finally get better this year at scheming receivers open against really good secondaries (wr's, not just Warren). Simply don't have time to let downfield routes develop (and when we do, we seldom have separation).

 

[CDLionFL]

For you armchair coaches out there, did you watch the skycam replay from behind Allar on the 3rd down play? Now tell me where you want him to throw it? Receivers getting ZERO separation. It's easy to get open against the zones of Kent State but you gotta work hard against 5 stars.

OSu is shadowing Warren. They'll adjust to shadow Warren and Pribula because they can.

Our special teams have really sucked the last couple years. How do they screw up the Barker Sahaydak decision?

I agree.

FWIW, it appears the play was designed to be a pass to Singleton, but he was covered tightly, and Allar didn't have time to find another receiver.

 

[Calabrin]

An offensive line might help.

Regardless: 6 points in 3 full quarters. Let someone else try.

^^^This is and has been the problem for years.^^^

It’s a team sport. You can’t have the drop back passer and no real WRs.

 

[Catch1lion]

World Famous Jeremiah Jesus Smith drops one

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Nearly every time PSU sends an extra rusher, tOSU makes them pay for it.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

fumble, or incomplete???

boo, it's ruled incomplete. It was really close. Ham on the radio PBP felt it was a fumble.

 

[Nits1989]

That OL holds Carter alot

I’m not blaming Allar. I’m saying if nobody can get open, then a pocket passer does no good. Use the option running QB.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

This is going to get overturned....it's OSU

 

[LB99]

So glad they bring in an expert rules analyst to tell us he doesn’t know. Twice now.

 

[CDLionFL]

Was there a bobble there? I think you have to stay with the call on the field there.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

That OL holds Carter alot

We'll get the calls next game.

 

[RochLion]

No way is this called a fumble. Zebras won't allow it.

 

[LB99]

Every. Single. Call. Goes OSU’s way. Every time.

 

[Nitt1300]

worst call I've ever seen
