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

Only time will tell what drinks @Midnighter has whipped up for the game, and who his server(s) is/are for the game.

We Are ...

- happy to have the home opener on such a beautiful day
- looking forward to watching PSU work out some of the kinks on O, D, and ST
- curious to see how many backups and/or true freshmen play today
- wishing I was in State College for today's game
- expecting to have a blast during the game

... Penn State!!!!

[FTLPSU]

Go easy on Ohio's #4 my boy he may be in for a long day.... Told him to play loose and have fun

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Based on warmups, the starting OL looks to be the same (Olu, Landon, Juice, Sal, Caedan)

PSU will stay with the 1-1-1 rotation at RB, but Keyvone Lee gets the 1st series

Keaton Ellis announced as the starting safety.

Johnny Dixon announced as the starting CB opposite Joey Porter Jr. (Kalen King started last week)

So u all know why I stated (in prediction thread) Ohio will focus on run since they know PSU wants to get their stable of backs going

Ohio also thinks their secondary will get and I quote "Bombed"...of course we know SC isn't great on the deep ball shall be interesting

 

[Tri-Power65]

Would like to see Dan Connor become the LB coach.

 

[Midnighter]

On my way - soccer ran long…

 

[FTLPSU]

Would like to see Dan Connor become the LB coach.

Yep carry and pass on the tradition and practices of the best LB position coach ever!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Student section looks to be rocking. Perhaps the new gate system is working well for them (as opposed to past years, when they would be in line for over an hour, which really screwed them for noon starts).

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU to KO to start the game

 

[Tom McAndrew]

nearly a sack by Beamon on the opening play

Grounding maybe?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 9 on Ohio's opening drive, and PSU calls TO. huh?

 

[BobPSU92]

Timeout, PSU. Ugh.

 

[BobPSU92]

Good thing we called the timeout.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 9, PSU with 7 DBs, and Ohio completes a nice pass for the 1st down. Hardy got beat. Reed blitzed from his safety position, but that got picked up by the Ohio OL.

 

[PSU87]

Shades of Morelli running the option there for Ohio

 

[BobPSU92]

Six and out.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Chop Robinson blocks the pass on 3rd down, so Ohio will have to punt

 

[ManxomeLion]

DL bats a pass down!

 

[ILLINOISLION]

OMG - A pass knocked down by a defensive lineman. A PSU defensive lineman! ‍

 

[BobPSU92]

Singleton!

 

[Tri-Power65]

Singleton hits the hole with authority.

 

[BobPSU92]

I don’t like that call (illegal blindside block).

 

[PSU87]

******** call

 

[Tom McAndrew]

long YAC by Washington on a crossing pattern, but flag downfield, and it's against PSU (it was actually 2 flags).

I saw the replay, that didn't seem like a blindside block

Agree... bad call

 

[FTLPSU]

I like how we are taking what the defense gives..all positive plays..

 

[ManxomeLion]

Wow, bad call, block in the back?

 

[ILLINOISLION]

That’s an AWFUL call even by Big 10(12)(14)(16) standards!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU goes for it on 4th & 2,and gets the 1st down on a pass to Tyler Warren

Agreed. How can that be a blindside block if the defender is looking right at the blocker?
