Official '26 PSU - Purdue game thread

[SouthHalls410]

It’s the unforced errors. The lapses in execution. The missed tackles. The little things that end up being a big thing. I’m not seeing excellence in execution. It’s one thing to lose games, it’s another thing to keep letting teams hang around due to poor play.

 

[Nitt1300]

Becht just sucks

he needs another year or three

 

[m.knox]

LOL... It's like each side is trying to let the other win..... Purdue kicks it out of bounds....

 

[Knickslions69]

The board is fun today
We do something well--crickets
Something goes wrong--everyone is present

That’s pretty normal behavior here . With that said Rocco is late on a lot of throws. For an experienced player that’s pretty bad.

 

[BobPSU92]

Becht just sucks

But he’s the most experienced QB in FBS. That will pay dividends down the stretch.

 

[RochLion]

Anyone know where Peoples is today? Is he injured? Surprise not to see him
in there.

1000 precent right. terrible in the 8th game of the season.

“Becht forced to scramble as the pocket collapses (again) and he runs into his own man! There’s that 5th year senior experience! Oh, but he completely lucks into a 1st down on a broken play…”

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

It’s really hard to win when your QB routinely misses wide open TD throws when their isn’t a defender within 10 yards

Late pass but that was beyond obvious and blatant DPI - no flag, go figure. Purdue defender had no idea where the ball was and literally ran #4 over - again, no flag. Complete joke.

 

[PSUcup]

That’s a good throw

 

[PSUcup]

And that was a horrific throw

 

[m.knox]

"Well played first half"?

Interesting take.

 

[LionJim]

And that was a horrific throw

What a crappy throw. Bad.

 

[Calabrin]

“Penn State looking over at the sideline, perplexed…”

New coaching staff. Same tired-a$$ problems.

 

[Ludd]

Can we stop throwing deep, it’s just a wasted down.

 

[KingLando]

That’s a good throw

And that was a horrific throw

Kudos for mentioning both

I noticed the same thing... lol.. Surprised he didn't go down. We have to give him credit. He kept the play alive and found a guy.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Farsical Football. This staff doesn't seem to demand improvement.

 

[pendal1]

What a crappy throw. Bad.

I just don't it. The kid is so erratic. The play was there and he destroys it.

 

[RochLion]

Announcer: "Penn State players look perplexed". Ya think!

 

[Alphalion75]

This is a little thing....but this team not only plays sloppy but they look sloppy. Shirt tails hanging out....pants cut off....some wearing socks others not....some wearing a sock on one leg snd not the other. They just look like a bunch of losers.

 

[KingLando]

Rap is really the only receiving threat

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

He's always late on the deep throws.

Not just late, but also puts way too much air under his deep throws - ball takes forever to get there.

 

[KingLando]

Put on Indiana or Ohio State--you'll see the same

 

[LionJim]

Kudos for mentioning both

I’m pretty sure both these posts were referring to the same throw, the one to the RB in the flat, first down, the throw was behind him, very poor. Whatever, PSU is moving.

 

[KingLando]

I’m pretty sure both these posts were referring to the same throw, the one to the RB in the flat, first down. Whatever, PSU is moving.

They weren't...he posted the first one before the second throw. The first one was the 17 yard throw to Rap

 

[Alphalion75]

I really don't care about other teams.

 

[Calabrin]

It’s true— kept the play alive, made something out of nothing. But again, it’s just the comedy of errors… it’s so exhausting!

 

[Phlebitis]

Wallace playing tenacious. Kind reminds me of Duce Staley. Legs still pumping when the play is dead and over. I LOVE that effort.

 

[KingLando]

I really don't care about other teams.

But your hypothesis that how we dress matters is debunked by simple observation.
Not caring about (or watching) football other than Penn State is why this board is insane

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Rap is really the only receiving threat

I'd keep sending him down the middle of the field and sitting down when he finds an open zone.

 

[PSUcup]

Stop with the design QB runs

 

[PSUcup]

They weren't...he posted the first one before the second throw. The first one was the 17 yard throw to Rap

Correct. He’s made some good throws this drive.

need a TD here. Can’t settle for FG

 

[m.knox]

Stop with the design QB runs

I'm glad Rocco didn't cough it up.... SUCCESS!!! lol.

 

[PSUAVLNC]

Becht straight up the middle is sure creative!!

 

[psuno1]

Wallace looks way better than Carson and Peoples today at least.

We just look like a rag tag bunch and we play like it.

 

[pendal1]

Terrible play call.

 

[psuno1]

Becht straight up the middle is sure creative!!

Great call, don't throw to the TE that is 6'7 down near the goal line.

 

[LionJim]

They weren't...he posted the first one before the second throw. The first one was the 17 yard throw to Rap

Never mind, I see now that Cup posted twice in succession and I had only seen the second one. His second post and my “that was a crappy throw” were the “same throw”’I was referring to.
