Official PSU - FIU game thread

[Big_O]

That was a very bad series. Need a TO for TD now.

 

[Paws057]

Hey, will this help the tickets for the white out to come down? Asking for a friend.

Not a chance…

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

So far this is a borderline playoff team. What a disappointment.

I actually hope we drop in the polls. We should.

 

[WVilleLion23]

Came here just to see some of the overreactions. A few of you did not disappoint.

 

[WestSideLion]

So far this is a borderline playoff team. What a disappointment.

Being objective, this team still has to show it’s a playoff-caliber team. Their ranking is based off of last year.

The offense has a long way to go yet. Allar looks average without a good OL and Warren. They can get there, but it will be a journey.

The "overreaction"? You think they look good out there?

 

[LMTLION]

This is NOT a playoff team. Here at the stadium and the team is uninspired and Allar looks pathetic.

 

[PSUcup]

Wow. Just wow. How do they not make that play

 

[KingLando]

I actually hope we drop in the polls. We should.

The polls are absolutely meaningless but, yes, I was shocked we stayed at 2 after last week--I don't really see us dropping if shut them out--maybe a spot. It's not like this was a competitive game--we just sleptwalked through it

 

[LMTLION]

We would be 0-2 if we played teams with a pulse.

Every QB that has ever lived has looked average without a good OL

PSU has one of these early clunkers every year. It should be motivating for them.

 

[KingLando]

66-11 so far--define "a pulse"
Ohio State--yes

 

[s1uggo72]

With a QB that didn’t play until he was a senior…in today’s game he would have transferred before 2005.

Huh? How is that relevant to 2005

 

[WestSideLion]

Exactly my point. And the run game isn’t dominating yet either. Double whammy that needs to be addressed for them to have the season they want.

Yes, our season was “over” last year after the Bowling Green game.

 

[Paws057]

It wasn’t pretty but a win is a win!

 

[Ludd]

Paterno would not have been successful in 2005 with today’s rules. That season was made by MRob.

 

[Big_O]

I guess PSU will just run out the clock now. Just a pathetic offensive performance.

 

[PSUFTG]

So much for the vastly improved WR corps.

The WR have never been the primary concern

 

[WestSideLion]

Now there’s some nice padding on the scoreboard!!! Great run by Allen.

 

[Big_O]

Guess I was wrong.

 

[AvgUser]

They did a lousy job with the clock

 

[Paws057]

Fatman for the TD….

 

[CoolBean]

 

[Arivacalion]

In order to get where we should be, we need this to be the worst game of the season. We played poorly today offensively.

 

[LB99]

But he was pretty damn good for his first 30 years so there's that.

No doubt he was. But that 30 yr span ended in the 90’s, which coincided with the time frame when he should have walked away, in my opinion.

 

[KingLando]

Allen > Singleton IMO
I really want to see us start using Singleton more as a receiving threat--it will help his draft stock too

 

[manatree]

I really wanted an A$$. BEATING. today.

Today, it’s self-service.

 

[s1uggo72]

No we weren't--come on

Yes they were.

Paterno would not have been successful in 2005 with today’s rules. That season was made by MRob.

now ur are just making stuff up. You have no basis to makes this claim

 

[Ludd]

I think Singleton is better, more chunk play potential especially against fast defenses.

 

[KingLando]

As bad as today was...and it was we
Threw for 200 yards
Run for over 200 yards
Didn't turn the ball over
And, so far, have a shutout

 

[Ludd]

Yes they were.

It’s pretty easy to guess that many of his players would have transferred. I worked with a guy that started and he would have transferred if he could have because he got put in a position he didn’t want to play.

 

[Calabrin]

 

[pendal1]

Agreed.

 

[KingLando]

No we weren't. We weren't on par with
We looked awful against a bad FSU team in the Orange Bowl--thankfully we got the ACC champ
Texas and USC beat us by about 20--that's not close to a title

 

[Paws057]

The Chazmainian devil strikes!

 

[Calabrin]

As bad as today was...and it was we

There are some good takeaways, for sure.


-won the turnover battle
-shutout
-several explosive plays (after seeing 0 last week)
-mostly great special teams
-balanced, if inconsistent offense

 

[AvgUser]

A deceiving win, but a win is a win.
