Official PSU - UCLA '25 Game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

1st down on a pass to Hudson at the UCLA 24

 

[KingLando]

Then we run a damn draw to ruin momentum. Great job AK

 

[Calabrin]

Rucci stinks.

 

[Psu00]

Big Game James strikes again ...

Worst part is this isn’t even a big game. UCLA is 0-4 with losses to :

Utah 43-10
UNLV. 30-23
New Mexico. 35-10
Northwestern 17-14.

1st & goal, PSU

 

[WaffleShopper]

Drew rolling with the biblical references on his face I see. Whatever helps at this point.

"A chain of gold was placed about Joseph's neck." Genesis 41:42

 

[KingLando]

Play Allen more
That was a good drive actually

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Kaytron Allen

A 10-play, 75-yard drive by PSU

Reynolds (TE) with a nice block on the run. Dinkins as well.

With the PAT, it's 10-7, UCLA, with 2:06 left in the 1st qtr

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

TD! Now can the defense find a spine and a ball sack to tighten up and stop UCLA on their next possession?

 

[Calabrin]

I'm just gonna sit here and think about what might've been if Kaytron Allen had gotten another 10 carries last week.

 

[m.knox]

Let's hope they can repeat that drive.

Good to see them convert after getting behind on first down.

 

[KingLando]

TD! Now can the defense find a spine and a ball sack to tighten up and stop UCLA on their next possession?

Hopefully...we still win this though. They need to stop playing soft and force Nico to make reads.

Smartest thing you've said

 

[bdgan]

10-7

Their D looks awful. Can we get a stop?

 

[bdgan]

How bad are Wylie and Speca?

 

[LB99]

I’m sorry, I know DeLuca is a fan favorite, but he is not fast enough to play effective at this level.

 

[KingLando]

Soft...just giving them a free 5-7 yards if they don't drop the ball. Same as Oregon early.

 

[Calabrin]

Nico: "It's all about the team."

Oh yeah? Remind me why you left Tennessee...

 

[KingLando]

I’m sorry, I know DeLuca is a fan favorite, but he is not fast enough to play effective at this level.

He's criticized a lot for a favorite. He's still our second best LB now unfortunately

 

[WaffleShopper]

I’m sorry, I know DeLuca is a fan favorite, but he is not fast enough to play effective at this level.

He was one of the worst tackling LBs in the country last year. He has not improved.

 

[KingLando]

DDS has to make the play

 

[WestSideLion]

PSU D is really struggling early.

 

[bdgan]

Our DEs don't seal the edge

 

[DaytonRickster]

I still think we win but today's the perfect example for those that want to fire CJF as to why they have a valid point. Everything so far is completely unacceptable

DDS with a missed TFL. Can anyone wrap up? The defense looks listless.

 

[Big_O]

Penn State is employing the wet tissue defense.

 

[bdgan]

PSU D is really struggling early.

^^^ UNDERSTATEMENT ^^^

 

[LB99]

How bad are Wylie and Speca?

Franklin is loyal to a fault. Hence, 0 is playing more.

 

[KingLando]

DDS with a missed TFL. Can anyone wrap up? The defense looks listless.

They look like a team that's uninterested. Much like the offense in the first three games.

 

[PSUAVLNC]

He was one of the worst tackling LBs in the country last year. He has not improved.

The entire defense can't tackle!!

 

[pendal1]

He was one of the worst tackling LBs in the country last year. He has not improved.

The fact that this guy is starting at lb is a real indictment of our recruiting

 

[KingLando]

Franklin is loyal to a fault. Hence, 0 is playing the more.

Not sure who you want to play at this point
LB was a Portal need and it wasn't FULLY addressed.

 

[bdgan]

He was one of the worst tackling LBs in the country last year. He has not improved.

He was a walk on who has out performed his rankings but he's not a top 2 LB.

 

[Alphalion75]

He was one of the worst tackling LBs in the country last year. He has not improved.

He needs to spend some time in the weight room. Looks small.

 

[LB99]

The fact that this guy is starting at lb is a real indictment of our recruiting

Not really. It’s an indictment on Franklin's loyalty to a fault.

 

[bwc]

DDS doesn't look like he wants to be there. He's not giving full effort, someone needs to get in his ear

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU jumps offside on 3rd & 1, and NI completes the ball anyway for a 1st

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

I never, ever ***** about coaching… Knowles…WTF!

 

[DaytonRickster]

How bad are Wylie and Speca?

Must be bad if they can't supplant Deluca.

 

[LB99]

DDS doesn't look like he wants to be there. He's not giving full effort, someone needs to get in his ear

Bench him. Send a message. Stop coddling them.

 

[WestSideLion]

My God 0 just missed a TFL and let a run go for 6.
