Official PSU - Michigan game thread

[Big_O]

At least the goal line defense has been good. The rest of the time not so good.

 

[billthebusdriver007]

1 minute remaining 1st qtr PS has run three plays

Well our O is well rested anyway.

 

[Phlebitis]

1 minute remaining 1st qtr PS has run three plays

A good old 4 possession game.

 

[84lion]

1 minute remaining 1st qtr PS has run three plays

But remember TOP doesn't matter

Credit the D on holding Michigan to 6 on their first two drives. O needs a few first downs here to get it moving...

 

[PSU12046]

Agree.... flag was probably a little ticky tack, but don't give them the opportunity to throw it.....

Take your skirt off if you don't like to be tackled

 

[rudedude]

Good gosh, so much hand wringing going here. Take a deep breath. It’s the first quarter.

 

[Nittany1982]

We need a TD here to take the lead and set the tone!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

sideline report from the PSU radio broadcast is that both Purdue and Auburn crowds were louder than Michigan crowd.

 

[Nits1989]

How many times will Gus Johnson say Cincinnati Kid?

 

[billthebusdriver007]

We need a TD here to take the lead and set the tone!

Let's start with 1 first down

of course its a Chardonnay crowd like Dallas is

 

[ILLINOISLION]

We need a TD here to take the lead and set the tone!

Even a first down would be nice!

Good gosh, so much hand wringing going here. Take a deep breath. It’s the first quarter.

Good news is that Jenny Taft is the sideline reporter

 

[EPC FAN]

I've got a busy Saturday morning, so I'm setting this up a little early, to avoid the possibility that I won't be able to get to it before the start of the game.

Please use this thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussions about the PSU - Michigan game.

We Are ...

- looking forward to a good contest
- wondering which PSU players will step up to meet the challenge
- certain that whether PSU wins or loses, Michigan still sucks
- curious to see how the game plays out
- expecting to be celebrating a PSU victory at the end

... Penn State!!!

Let's go. Let's do this.

FOX has an ungodly number of commercials. It makes watching the game in between, a chore.

Or just block someone, one of the two.

 

[FTLPSU]

Basics all the rust is off now....we got this..

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

O needs to help out the D by just staying on the field.

 

[Nohow]

Bad.

 

[FTLPSU]

OK thats MY....probing and going thru plays---we are OFF......looking for some light not good....

 

[JoeBot409]

This play calling, terribl.

 

[Ram20]

tight butthole time for franklin and MY, conservative first down, obvious QB draws.

 

[JoeBot409]

Throw short of the sticks on a free play

 

[billthebusdriver007]

lol at Clifford.

 

[Anon1640372757]

I have said it a hundred times, the worst coaching in all of football.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 4, Michigan brings the house on a blitz, and the PSU receivers didn't pick up the read and had their heads turned upfield when Cliff had to throw.

smh

 

[psu0408]

Getting dominated in the trenches and going conservative with a 6th year QB

 

[PSUAVLNC]

Wow. This is ugly. What did the coaches prepare the team for??

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

This offensive coaching staff sucks... Horrible horrible horrible play calling

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

This Yurcich guy is an offensive genius!!! What a game plan....with a week to get prepared. Simply awesome..

 

[LB99]

Why isn’t a screen pass ever in the mix? Get Singleton in space.

 

[WestSideLion]

This team’s performance is just awful so far. It’s going to be ugly today, gang. This will be another embarrassing loss against a program we should rival and compete with.

 

[FTLPSU]

We dont have the Receivers to stretch the field---that wasn't on SC...he was pressured---Back picked up 1 of 2 blitzers....nothing he could do....

We need to play Big boy football run the ball and use the TE's more...shrink the playbook like Illinois did to us

 

[CDLionFL]

Just can't understand how year in and year out, you come into big games unprepared, especially after a bye week.

 

[billthebusdriver007]

Our best play is a penalty. jeez, thought we'd be better prepared than this, unless they're just that much better than us.

 

[NitneLiun]

This is such a James Franklin team. I can't stand to watch it. Maybe Illinois vs. Minnesota will be worth watching.

 

[Ram20]

This Yurcich guy is an offensive genius!!! What a game plan....with a week to get prepared. Simply awesome..

I just don't understand his thought process in these big games. Just playing right into everything this defense wants. No WR screen, no TE's yet, just going to try and play old school smash mouth and out physical a far more physical team? Gotta spread this defense out some.

 

[CDLionFL]

Take your skirt off if you don't like to be tackled

You're not really bright, are you?

 

[Big_O]

Penn State’s best offensive play is a penalty by UM’s defense.

Blitzer comes from the right and the QB throws to the left. Incredible recognition by a 6th year senior.

 

[Nits74]

At this pace, the defense will wear out before the half.
