Official PSU - Northwestern 2023 game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Please use this for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion about the PSU - NW game.

Hopefully, @Midnighter will be along with some libations to help us get through the game. If they are served by anybody that was in his poll from yesterday, it may be hard to focus on the game.

We Are ...

- always nervous about noon games
- curious to see if NW has any magic left after their great comeback last week
- hoping the players and coaches are in the 1-0 mindset, and have left behind the White Out
- wondering how many freshman PSU will get in today's game
- quite confident that PSU will be victorious in the game

... Penn State!!!

Quite a few scouts from NFL teams are in the press box for the game. I believe it's @ 10 teams that have scouts on hand

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Still more than a home sPitt game.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU to receive to start the game

 

[Paws057]

Oops!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Singleton fumbles the KO on the tackle, and NW recovers. smh

NW takes over on PSU's 11

 

[BobPSU92]

Fumble.

 

[CDLionFL]

Well that's a hell of a start.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

What the

 

[BobPSU92]

And with that, Singleton catches an early flight home.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3 plays and a penalty, and NW is back at PSU's 14. Nice job D.

With a 33-yard FG, it's 3-0, NW, with 12:47 left in the 1st qtr

 

[Paws057]

They only got 3 out of that turnover.

 

[Midnighter]

Midnighter Bar unlikely today; too much going on. In the meantime, try this:

 

[PrtLng Lion]

OK, got that dang turnover thing out of the way. Time to come out firing

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Thank goodness the D is wide awake on that series. 3 plays, negative 6 yards

A little adversity to start the game after our 1st turnover of the year. I like the response.

 

[WestSideLion]

The offense seems to be sleep walking so far in this game. The inability to run on the B1G’s worst run D on that opening drive is alarming.

 

[AvgUser]

How about a little less adversity now

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Our O has started slow more often than not this season

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Kobe King with a sack, then a TFL by King. 3rd & 15 for NW

 

[Paws057]

Defense looking good…

 

[Tom McAndrew]

a 3 & out for NW.

a nice punt by NW, which is a FC by Saunders on the PSU 44

 

[Ludd]

D came to play.

 

[step.eng69]

WTF
7 minutes of field play...
7.5 minutes of commercials

 

[Tom McAndrew]

7 minutes of field play...
7.5 minutes of commercials

the "cost" of those big TV contracts that the B1G signed

 

[Calabrin]

Our O has started slow more often than not this season

Yup. Last week’s shutout secured Diaz’s future— no way he doesn’t get offered a HC position after this season. Yurcich, on the other hand, would not draw interest from a major program if PSU booted him.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Kayton not gonna be denied. Tough running
