Official PSU - Iowa '25 game thread

[KingLando]

I was thinking the same thing.

It's not necessarily a bad call if the opposing defense can't stop your run, but instead of giving it to Allen, we did something stupid.

Then he needed to make the play call because leaving it up to AK is a questionable decision

 

[jmorovich]

I hope whoever our OC is next year doesn’t have huge excel sheets hanging off our QB’s arms next year.

 

[AvgUser]

I just hear grunk is 11-21 passing.
I think I missed ten completions.

 

[harjeff]

Do not understand the Smolik package makes 0 sense

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Smolik gets a 1st down, fumbles the ball, but fortunately for PSU, Hudson recovered it. smh

Next play, Grunk fumbles the snap. Come on guys

 

[Paws057]

Put 14 on the sideline

 

[KingLando]

Stop rotating QBs--let Grunk get comfortable

 

[LMTLION]

Very lucky to get the ball back x2

 

[AvgUser]

Cmon grunk. That should have been easy

 

[m.knox]

Converted 3rd and 11......

Wow.

 

[KingLando]

Blitzing Grunk on 3rd & 11 was a "decision"

 

[84lion]

Nice run by Allen

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Smolik weńt into the medical tent after his fumble.

He's now out, holding his wrist, and going into the locker room

 

[Calabrin]

"Another big run for Kaytron Allen!"

It's a mystery what this offense should be doing, guys.

 

[84lion]

Converted 3rd and 11......

Wow.

KISS it (Keep it stupidly simple)

 

[Tom McAndrew]

1st & goal, PSU

PSU is really putting together a nice, long, drive

 

[Nittany18]

We can’t get open nor catch the ball.

 

[mcpat]

Allen is so good. This is the toughest run defense we’ve played, and we’re going at them with a QB making his first start. Allen getting so few carries thru the first six games is unconscionable.

 

[KingLando]

QB draw was the play call there?

 

[AvgUser]

KISS it (Keep it stupidly simple)

That part of the problem. This offense is infantile in many ways

 

[84lion]

Was that tackle legal? Around neck

 

[Tom McAndrew]

1st: incomplete throw into the endzone
2nd: Kaytron for 1 yard
3rd: 3rd & goal at the 9 -- Iowa blitzes and gets Grunk in the backfield

PSU to attempt a 31-yard FG ...

it's good

24-19, PSU, with 4:56 left in the game

I think PSU's drive took 8:21 off the clock

 

[Calabrin]

Another great call from AK.

The Iowa defense was clearly BAMBOOZLED!!!

 

[Nittany18]

Nice drive, but 3 pts isn’t going to cut it.

 

[Ludd]

It was evident to everyone who the better RB was after the first three games. It wasn't close.

So because your best RB last year has a slow start, you give up on him?

 

[Big_O]

Crap play calling down near the goal line. However, Grunk had the TE open on first down and threw it into the EZ.

 

[Bones80]

Setting up for another heart breaker. D needs to come through. Need a TO

 

[Calabrin]

Allen: 24 car, 131 yds, 2 TD

 

[KingLando]

So because your best RB last year has a slow start, you give up on him?

Allen's been our best back for 3 years

 

[Ludd]

Now we need Knowles to earn his $3 million which hasn’t happened all year. When we need the D to step up, they fall down.

 

[AvgUser]

What did he show that warranted RB playing time?

 

[Nits74]

1st & goal, PSU

Needed six. Have a bad feeling that the defense will give up a TD late.

 

[Ludd]

Allen's been our best back for 3 years

No, he hasn’t.

 

[AvgUser]

I’m not taking that bet.

 

[Bison13]

Catchable ball to pena

 

[Ludd]

What did he show that warranted RB playing time?

He’s been pretty darn good for three years.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Better stop them here, because it sure doesn’t look like Grunk is ready to run a 2-minute offense.

 

[jmorovich]

Big drive for the D. Let’s hope Knowles is ready for a QB run. This seems to perplex him

 

[KingLando]

No, he hasn’t.

Yes, he has. His vision and balance is far superior.
