Official PSU - Michigan game thread

[Shadow99]

Agree---thats almost looking for a penalty bail out--unless u have a Crabtree or Fitzgerald type receiver that isnt that successful..

As good as Crabtree was, at 6'-1" he wasn't even very good at fades.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Nice read by #23…..TD, UMich.

And a gift on the extra point play, don’t get beat deep!

The good news is that the D want on the field very long

 

[Lion4ever]

Defense is just overwhelmed. Game over

 

[CoolBean]

Do they have any LB?

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

Great defensive adjustments Diaz. Now I know why nobody else wanted this guy. He sucks

 

[psu31trap]

Up until that point the defense was been playing a solid game.

Let’s get a quick TD!!

 

[CDLionFL]

Weakness of the D being exposed over and over again -- linebackers, especially Elsdon, are brutal at plugging gaps.

 

[Ram20]

Uhhh, here from the articles lol

Well again, whoever authored the articles is wrong if you're watching in TV.

 

[billthebusdriver007]

Going to come down to the defensive adjustments

No, they are outmuscling us and blocking the crap out of us, regardless of adjustments.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

I find it amusing that if you have a dominant OL you can still have explosive plays!

 

[Bison13]

The non-hold call on the running back on McCarthys first down run will prove to be the player of the game. Call the holding force a punt on a longer third down in that run never happens.

 

[Nits74]

Defense is just overwhelmed. Game over

Probably. Highly over rated defense. You'd think with the first score to open the half they'd try to seize the moment. No.

 

[lemonears]

Last play illustrated how slow Elsdon is. Need to play Carter at LB. Elsdon should bulk up and play DT or else enter the portal.

As good as Crabtree was, at 6'-1" he wasn't even very good at fades.

He was a COmeback route guy---I was just using a few well known big physical receivers I could QUICKLY think about...but thanks for the detail

 

[Lionville]

Linebackers???? What linebackers????

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[Lion4ever]

Well again, whoever authored the articles is wrong if you're watching in TV.

We pay for it so I thought it was accurate. As for watching I agree but I also think our DL is just pedestrian at best. Very weak

Give Michigan credit for not deviating from the physical running game. It takes patience and will ultimately earn them a victory today.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

As much as I can't stand Harbaugh, I would take him and his philosophy about the LOS over Franklin in a NY minute...

 

[LB99]

Yeah, because as an official, you don't let previous plays influence how you call something right in front of you.

The ref right in front of it didn’t throw a flag. The guy on the other side of the field did.

 

[psuno1]

Do they have any LB?

that want to tackle?

 

[o_Grass]

PSU is such a finesse team. Singleton gets tackled on the kick off return by the kicker and Michigan’s RB’s drag PSU defender’s down the field for extra yardage.

 

[Lion4ever]

10 is a stud against lesser competition. In the big time he has a long way to go

 

[Midnighter]

Eh, still enough time to win this….

 

[Nohow]

Michigan much better tacklers.

Red zone yes, otherwise no, Michigan has not punted

He’s got a long way to go. Not a sure fire

 

[FTLPSU]

Yep he is very conventional and basic...I dont care if you know the play I will out work you and beat you. Much like the 2-point conversion--a very basic play--safe--high probability to your best player.

 

[WestSideLion]

Eh, still enough time to win this….

If they just stick with what they’re doing, it will be tough. They won’t make another dumb mistake to help us.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Since we're employing Iowa's game plan may as well accuse Michigan's D of faking injuries to slow our offense down (though we actually do have a hurry up offense)

 

[PSU87]

Eh, still enough time to win this….

Plenty of time, but until I see us make them punt just once.....

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Since we're employing Iowa's game plan may as well accuse Michigan's D of faking injuries to slow our offense down (though we actually do have a hurry up offense)

nah, we never want to stoop to that level

 

[Moogy]

Rewatched it - no hold. He had a hand in front of the guy as he went by, but didn’t grab anything, or armbar or anything. Good block.

 

[lbujoe33]

Our linebackers are terrible. Tarburton shouldn't be playing .

 

[CDLionFL]

Give Michigan credit for not deviating from the physical running game. It takes patience and will ultimately earn them a victory today.

Oh, definitely. I said after the Jacobs Pick-6 that I was about to post that they should just run it the entire time because more often than not, they're gonna benefit. That o-line is putting on a clinic at the LOS.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Cliff nearly picked off on a pass to the TE, Warren. Warren was interfered with, but no call.

 

[CDLionFL]

Rewatched it - no hold. He had a hand in front of the guy as he went by, but didn’t grab anything, or armbar or anything. Good block.

Careful, Moogy, the armchair refs already think it's 19 on 11 so they're not thinking clearly.

 

[Lion4ever]

No more 10 please
