Official '26 PSU - Purdue game thread

[LionJim]

Yards: 445-175
Turnovers forced: 2-0
TOP: 41-19

This thread tells a very different story regarding a game that wasn't competitive.

So maybe next time not give up a blocked punt that is returned for a touchdown.

take the win

 

[Ludd]

I've critical of the front 4, but they did put pressure on the QB and did a great job against the run.

They did play better tonight.

That would be ideal
But even when that happened we were still controlling the game--people are just traumatized lol

Four straight losses will do that to you.

Matt Campbell 1-0 in "big" games.

Absolutely. We found a running back and the defense held up against an offense that has scored a lot of points. Special teams were terrible and too many jerkoff penalties. He talks about discipline so start getting these guys to play with it.

 

[Calabrin]

One of the best things about the win today is that even though it came against a weak opponent, we had our best, and quite possibly our two best offensive players out today.

Not the 180 turnaround we all wanted for our Halloween treat, but a solid win and hopefully something to build on.

0-0
as he was going to be no matter what our record was this year

Works for me. I never felt we were in any real danger of losing.

We scored more points than pu. I don’t get it.

Becht missing that TD pass right before that led that 14 pt swing. Those posted stats actually justify the frustration here.

If on a horizontal number line point A denotes the number of points scored by Purdue and point B denotes the number of points scored by Penn State, then B is to the right of A on this number line.

@Tom McAndrew - anything you can do about this being spammed again and again and again and again and again in game threads? Or is there no room for serious posts in them? Thanks.

Was this necessary?

 

[Erial_Lion]

Was this necessary?

Anyone says anything at all critical about Coach Franklin and they get insulted. Hypocrisy of the highest order. Sad.

 

[Anon231980]

Was this necessary?

Just got in and did not see any of the game. Not being a goof, just asking if Martin and Peoples are hurt or just went with hot hands.

Hot hands, I suspect.

Nothing posted here is necessary.

Hot hands, I suspect.

Thank you

You are never as bad as you look when you lose....just because we scored more points than pu...you are probably not as good as you looked.

Peoples is dinged. Martin is still in the doghouse thanks to his father (who was actually correct).

Or just playing by the rules set the last 12 years.

Any coach that punishes a player because of a parent shouldn’t be a coach.

No, but he just can't help himself. It's kinda sad to see how pathetic some people have become

I mean, he straight up said he enjoys seeing PSU lose, but is power-trolling on a PSU Message Board.

 

[IndianaNittanyLion_rivals328484]

Someone had a talk with Becht. In all of the first seven games, Rocco dropped to the ground before contact on all of his carries, sometimes when the first down could have been taken. This is the first time he ran until he was tackled. Big difference in this game.

Unless Franklin is coaching. Then he's better than the score looks win or lose.

You do know that he's a Pitt fan, don't you?

maybe his job was on the line- as it should be

Modelo Tom is traveling again. Such is the life of the wealthy

It doesn't benefit us in anyway to bench him...if it did he'd be on the bench

Not if you're looking at the number line upside down.

 

[LionJim]

Not if you're looking at the number line upside down.

Reminds me of a story about Richard Feynman taking a Rorschach test. Shown an ink blot, he stares at it for a half-minute before saying, “Isn’t it upside down?” Just being a smartazz.

I didn't watch but listened some on the radio. I heard no mention of Peoples or Martin during the time I was listening to the radio broadcast. Ham & Jones did mention that Cam Wallace had a great two weeks of practice, thus his many touches against Perdue.

 

[TheWizardofCamelot]

Wallace and Hansen ran through huge holes tonight. Say it’s luck or skill on the RB’s part, but from my POV it looked like the offensive line played their best game of the season. And the Purduefront 7 looked overmatched.

PSU was absolutely the better team tonight. The Purdue points came on massive mistakes from the PSU special teams and defense.

As a fan, I’m definitely taking tonight as progress though. Makes the back half of the season worth watching.

 

[Grant Green]

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.

God bless the game day thread. Pure gold.
