Official PSU - Michigan Game Thread

[PrtLng Lion]

Dang. Theo so close.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Just goes to show this offense needs the QB to run to work

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Well, that play won't make the highlight reel....

 

[PSUwolf]

Too damn tricky - good God - take the points

 

[PSUHammering1]

F'ing Morons just go for the ******* first down instead of the ********!

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Hey Coach, were home, call plays accordingly

 

[ManxomeLion]

God! What a FUBAR

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

F*cked up, that's all, just f*cked up.

 

[PSUHarry]

Only reason I don't like the call is I think Michigan was ready for it after the fake punt. I don't think the 3points is that important at this juncture. But if Michigan looks ready for the play, call time out and come back and just go for it. If you don't get it they are pinned back. Better that than where the ball is now.

 

[psu0408]

Stupid decision. Take the damn points or let Clifford throw on 4th

 

[Ram20]

Franklin should have reviewed Johnsons spot, he was a foot from the end zone and March our offense out there. The fake FG had exactly 0 chance.

 

[JoeBot409]

Stupid. Can’t keep sticking you nose in the honey pot. It is going to get stuck. If you want to go for it, go for it. Now they are not even backed up. Dont need to chase points against a running team.

 

[Bones80]

Gimmicks are great when they work. Not so much all the time.

 

[91Joe95]

WTF?!?

A fake is more likely to score than an offensive play? Even if it fails Michigan's at the 2. Just gave them a chunk play out to the 30. Even better, take the points!

 

[blion72]

Dang. Theo so close.

The spot was not right. He did not step OB. Should have been 1 foot line not 2 yd line

 

[bdgan]

I didn't like the fake punt even though it worked. I really didn't like the pass to Stout. I was OK with going for it but not that play.

I don't understand why PSU doesn't utilize TEs inside the 10 yd line.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Playcalling smacks of desperation and lack of confidence. Hope the coach(es) can "settle down"

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

You either trust your O to get 2 yards or you kick the FG. Why give them any momentum??

 

[Pocono Lion]

Stout should have just kept running there.

Or something like a shovel pass. Something that if it fails leaves pinned deep.

 

[BW Lion]

And Franklin wonders why he loses winnable football games.

Agree completely. Save that for later.

You aren't likely to punt em that deep. Go for it. It's either 7 or 0.

Agree with that. Poor understanding of the gems and conditions

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

17 is SO CLOSE love him

 

[m.knox]

Stout should have just kept running there.

Right to the pilon...... That said, dumb call. Makes PSU look desperate. Rather line up in a power I with two tight ends....

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Perfect example of Lions not making the few plays that decide close games. SC didn't have to zip it in there to TE, he was wide open. Calling for the fake FG is just shooting yourself in the foot.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Still friggin can't believe what just happened.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

great D by Hardy! Almost picked

 

[AtlantaLion]

Witvoet in the booth. We will be screwed.

 

[DELion]

Witvoet in the replay booth. How is that possible?

 

[DELion]

No conflict of interest there.

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Ball will be at 3.

 

[Phlebitis]

Still friggin can't believe what just happened.

And I still can’t remember the last game he didn’t do something inexplicably stupid.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

GREAT block

 

[BW Lion]

Ball will be at 3.

IT was the correct call

 

[91Joe95]

Look at that Michigan player faking an injury (sarcasm).

 

[PSUwolf]

Only gonna survive so long without a running game. If we can just get 125 yards on the ground today - we win

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Witvoet in the booth. We will be screwed.

^^THIS^^

 

[91Joe95]

BTW, Harbaugh recognizing he can challenge a call.

 

[Bones80]

Like offensive play calling so far. Now if the line would only block someone
