Official PSU - Villanova game thread

Uh oh. One of the announcers referred to our pass rush as VAUNTED. .

 

[Erial_Lion]

You don’t have to grab or pull it, you can push it as well.

Pushing it isn't a penalty. You need to grab, pull, twist, etc. It looked like a penalty in real time, but the replay pretty clearly showed they got it right.

The ‘Onion’ is on the ball today

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

And that punt had the shank as good as my golf swing....

 

[Erial_Lion]

Dinkins has really impressed me with his blocking on the edge this season...he's a weapon when he gets 1v1 with a Safety (or corner obviously).

 

[Big_O]

Disappointing that Penn State has only scored 7 in the first quarter.

So what caused his head to get pulled all the way around, a ghost? And here’s the wording:

A facemask penalty in American football involves grasping and controlling, twisting, turning, pushing, or pulling an opponent's facemask.

They’re pacing themselves..

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Chaz Coleman nearly blocks the 'Nova punt, and the punt only goes to the 'Nova 32

PSU takes over with 0:15 left in the 1st qtr.

 

[Paws057]

That mascot Nova has looks like something you’d see in a nightmare…

[KingLando]

So, do we just refuse to give Kaytron the ball today?

I mean, watch the replay...he got twisted around from the way the tackler pulled him. The tackler didn't use the facemask to twist him, he was under it.

And why use google for a generic definition when you could use the NCAA rule?

No player shall grasp and then twist, turn or pull the face mask, chin strap or any helmet opening of an opponent. It is not a foul if the face mask, chin strap or helmet opening is not grasped and then twisted, turned or pulled. When in question, it is a foul.

 

[Big_O]

I wish they would feature the run game more. Maybe we see Kaytron now.

 

[Bones80]

Not going to score a ton of points throwing five yard out patterns

 

[KingLando]

33 year old college student?

There's a ton of 33 year olds in college--just not ones playing football lol

 

[Big_O]

Must be working on the short passing routes.

 

[Big_O]

Is Kaytron hurt? Makes no sense to leave Singleton in there.

 

[ZouaveLion]

Not going to score a ton of points throwing five yard out patterns

I didn't think this would be the case but the defense seems much more ahead of an offense lead by a 3 million dollar qb

 

[Shifty15]

Might have a better GPA than this guy!

 

[KingLando]

Is Kaytron hurt? Makes no sense to leave Singleton in there.

He was in on the second drive--just never gave it to him.
Pena has to start coming back to the ball

 

[LMTLION]

I continue to believe there’s something wrong with this offense.

 

[BobPSU92]

Another field goal. Peña was not open on 3rd down.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU with a 3rd & 5 at the 'Nova 27

'Nova calls TO.

Allar changes the play before the snap ... pass is incomplete

Ryan Barker in for a 45-yard FG attempt, and he curls it just inside the upright.

10-0, PSU, with 14:18 left in the 2nd qtr.

Have to take advantage of that type of field position and get more than 3

 

[Big_O]

What a fabulous offensive series. This game should be 21-0 by now.

 

[PSUForever]

So far this game has me feeling no better about OLine or Allar vs previous games.

 

[Calabrin]

I wish they would feature the run game more. Maybe we see Kaytron now.

Clearly trying to get Drew real-game reps. They know they're in deep doo-doo in two weeks.

 

[Ludd]

He was in on the second drive--just never gave it to him.
Pena has to start coming back to the ball

And we need to start seeing some YAC from our receivers.

 

[NoBareFeet]

Allar just not accurate enough

 

[Erial_Lion]

Thought that Pena needed to work back on that one...can't lead him much with the safety there.

 

[PSUForever]

And I guess our kickoff guy can't kick it into the endzone?

 

[BiochemPSU]

This defense better get a masseuse on call, they’re going to be carrying this team all season.

 

[CoolBean]

Is Villanova division II? Singleton rushed 10 times for 35 yds

 

[LMTLION]

So far this game has me feeling no better about OLine or Allar vs previous games.

Same. Somethings not clicking for Allar and the OL is not dominant. If Allar tries to force the ball in versus Oregon like he just did versus nova on 3rd it’s an INT. He should’ve flipped the ball out to the rb.

 

[BobPSU92]

We should just leave the defense on the field.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Rojas with the sack for PSU on 3rd down

'Nova will have to punt

 

[Calabrin]

This defense better get a masseuse on call, they’re going to be carrying this team all season.

I was just having the same thought. Defense is gonna have to totally shutdown the Ducks.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU takes over on their own 29 after the punt return by Ross.
