I'll have a "One for Moogy" and then another one while I figure who or what "Moogy" is.....

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Singleton and Allen each go for 100+ today.

You guys need to be “on your games” today for those of us who have Dish Network and will be relying on this thread for real time analyses.

If we do too good of a reporting job, Dish might come and shut our thread down also....

I’m willing to take that risk.

So how long will ESPN be interrupting the broadcast every time Judge is up to bat? Very annoying.

From what I can tell, split screen the full AB. Audio on baseball. Full screen if football is on commercial.

Nice tackling that series!

 

[ManxomeLion]

Holding on the return PSU. Starting with a long field

 

[ManxomeLion]

Player down for PSU, #1

 

[Jim from Spicewood]

Not much room for Singleton on this series

 

[Bones80]

Quick whistle saved fumble

 

[ManxomeLion]

Got a bit lucky with Singleton's fumble as ruled forward progress

 

[OUIrPSU]

Slightly OT, but Rutgers just scored on OSU. 7-0, Rutgers.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Interesting call 4th and short

 

[Nitt1300]

nice punt

 

[ManxomeLion]

Punt, NW starting at their 8yd line

 

[Jim from Spicewood]

Barney!

 

[BobPSU92]

Can’t get one yard against northwestern.

 

[Woodpecker]

Barney!

NW playing 8 guys in the box. QB sneak would have been better play.

 

[BobPSU92]

Barney!

 

[AvgUser]

Have we not learned that the handoff to a flat-footed RB really doesn‘t work as well as a ’running’ back?

 

[Big_O]

Is the rain today courtesy Ian?

Or a quick out to. 86

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Smart coaching to punt there. Maybe Franklin is finally learning how to manage a game.

 

[PSU87]

Yes

 

[ManxomeLion]

LB 43 down for PSU

 

[Nitt1300]

I have never liked rain games- funny things happen

 

[Bones80]

Elsdon has an arm

 

[OUIrPSU]

Speaking of coaching - Rutgers just onsides it’s kickoff after scoring and OSU got the ball in Rutgers territory. It’s now tied at 7.

They say it rains on both sides of the field, but I've always believed bad weather impacts the more talented team more
