Official PSU - Rutgers '25 game thread

[Still in State Colllege]

8 beers in and this defense is still atrocious. Then I need to wake up and do it all over again with the Steelers.

Hey at least it is the 430 game

It felt like a new low, but then 2003 came along.

The offense was terrible not the D

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 13, and Rutgers with a long pass to PSU's 44. PSU's D did not seem ready for that play. smh

 

[LMTLION]

The secondary has been unreliable all year! Geez getting beat by Rutgers, NW, UCLA…

 

[Catch1lion]

3rd and 13. Rutgers might go deep.

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

One thing has been consistent for 15 years—if the PSU defense gets the offense in 3rd and long, they WILL give it up.

 

[m.knox]

Third and long and Rutgers throws for 33 yards.... Ugh. Then we hold them and the complete it anyway...

 

[golfer1922]

AJ Harris is sooo OVERRATED!!!
All year, mostly pathetic.
smh

 

[SouthHalls410]

And again not ready for the 3rd down play. And again they can’t get off the field on 3rd down.

 

[Ram20]

AJ Harris is getting abused. Like kalen king in his last year

 

[ZouaveLion]

AJ Harris being touted as a potential 1st round draft pick prior to the season is comedy gold

 

[Catch1lion]

AJ Harris is sooo OVERRATED!!!
All year, mostly pathetic.
smh

Get smoked like a Cohiba

 

[MM1994]

He wasn't afraid to--he was told not to take any risk

 

[PSUfreak2008]

Tell 4 to sit on the ******* bench and play the freshman. Terry!!!!!

 

[Paws057]

Is it just me or does it seem that every team we play, their receivers have career best games?

 

[m.knox]

AJ Harris is sooo OVERRATED!!!
All year, mostly pathetic.
smh

He's over matched with that guy.

 

[RyanSnyder]

 

[Catch1lion]

DDS . Failed to hold the edge , again.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Rutgers with a 1st down at the PSU 39

1st: run for 1 yard; tackle by LBer Campbell
2nd: DL doesn't get any pressure, and Rutgers with a pass for 7
3rd: run, and Raymond bounces outside, Wheatley and DDS are caught inside, and DeLuca with the tackle after he gets the 1st down

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

By all means let's hire Smith!

This team sucks

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Tackling is hard for this team.

 

[AvgUser]

DOES ANYONE WANT TO PLAY FRICKING DEFENSE

 

[PrtLng Lion]

good lord this defense is terrible.

 

[LMTLION]

Pathetic… even if we win this is pathetic.

 

[StamfordBridgeVikingatLeftOffensiveTackle]

Rutgers wants to be bowl eligible.

 

[Paws057]

$3 million a year for this!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU blitzes, and Rutgers throws into the endzone for a TD.

Collins on the coverage, but Duff with a skinny post route and makes the catch.

With the PAT, it's 28-27, Rutgers, with 3:51 left in the 3rd qtr.

An 8 play, 75-yard drive, for Rutgers

 

[Paws057]

Rutgers wants to be bowl eligible.

Apparently we’re ready to call it a year?

 

[Psu00]

This is why Smith can’t be the next coach. Team needs a complete overhaul with recruiting, the portal, etc and Smith can’t deliver that IMO.

 

[retrospm]

I think this game puts the push for Terry Smith to rest. This program needs a complete reset

 

[ZouaveLion]

I think the Terry Smith HC talk can be put to rest

 

[PSUfreak2008]

The fact that 0 and 4 have not been benched this game I am officially no ******* way should Terry be hired. Nope…. You can’t see those to need benched you don’t deserve to be a head man. **** that

 

[StamfordBridgeVikingatLeftOffensiveTackle]

Apparently we’re ready to call it a year?

This is a disturbing performance by the defense.

 

[WestSideLion]

Go defense!

 

[trufan]

The Terry train has derailed

 

[Big_O]

That vaunted Knowles defense. NOT!

 

[Ludd]

Time to see if they made any defensive adjustments at the half. Or maybe just learned how to tackle?

I guess we see they didn’t.

 

[psu0408]

DL is completely absent, so they send the house in the red zone, blitz is picked up, and they get beat in man coverage. AJ Harris jawing with Rutgers WRs as he’s getting picked on is classic 2025 PSU football

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Well, there's lots of material here for the new coach to assess where to focus improvements.

 

[WestSideLion]

The fact that 0 and 4 have not been benched this game I am officially no ******* way should Terry be hired. Nope…. You can’t see those to need benched you don’t deserve to be a head man. **** that

Only crazies were calling for Smith to get the job.

 

[SRD_PSU]

Biggest bunch of ******* pussies to EVER play football!!
