3rd and 7 and they get 17 on the ground?

That has been an Achilles heel, but this is an all new staff.
This will occur time to time. Hopefully not a trend

Phillies won't wake you up the way they are playing.

 

[FK3JM]

They keep talking about how big the d tackles are… but if anyone is watching them closely - these are not NFL caliber tackles at all. They are extremely slow and easily leveraged out of the way. If being 330 was the only requirement for a great d tackle…

 

[IANit]

Wisconsin threatening. No quit in the Badgers right now.

 

[AvgUser]

CMC needs to tear the O an new one at halftime

 

[KingLando]

Very disappointing effort by the defense on that drive

 

[PSUcup]

This team is not very good. Lbs and d line are average at best

 

[IANit]

17-7. Time for Rocco to step up.

 

[CoolBean]

Defense good, offense stinks so far

 

[FK3JM]

17-7. Time for Rocco to step up.

Rocco has sucked *** this game. Him along with another year of Mickey Mouse offensive line play.

 

[bdgan]

Total yards:
PSU. 112
WISC 124

 

[Calabrin]

Wisc punches it into the end zone to cap off 75-yard drive.

Penn State 17
Wisc 7

 

[Calabrin]

Offense is gonna have to do something on this drive. Defense has been on the field too much.

 

[FK3JM]

Donkoh - this guy sucks.

 

[KingLando]

So--we bring in Peoples and everyone knows we're running after the penalty smh

 

[PSUcup]

Wow. Matt Campbell is a p-u$$y

 

[WestSideLion]

Total yards:
PSU. 112
WISC 124

Take away the big pass plays and this offense isn’t good. Howard being out achieves that.

 

[KingLando]

Not pleased with the end of the half at all--either side of the ball
He needs to go back to playing 2 backs as well--should be Hansen and Peoples but i don't care who at this point

 

[LMTLION]

Offense looks pathetic. No other way to put it. Not impressed with Mouser.

 

[Calabrin]

Uuuh, Coach? You are NOT playing “really good football” right now. The offense has been utterly anemic. The D has totally bailed you out.

edit: the D and the Wisc QB have bailed you out

 

[PSUcup]

For the love of Christ can’t we get a coach with a set of balls

 

[KingLando]

Take away the big pass plays and this offense isn’t good. Howard being out achieves that.

Weird--people told me all week Rapp was more important than Howard

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

Let’s see how good this staff is at halftime adjustments.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

We're learning what the PSU Nittany Cyclones look like vs. Tier 3 competition.

 

[Big_O]

Becht being inaccurate today has really hurt the offense. He needs to step it up.

 

[SkiSkiSki]

CMC, "You threw a spiral!"

Rocco, "I threw a spiraaaaal!!!!!"

 

[Shifty15]

“We’re playing really good football right now”
Is MC watching another game in his phone because that statement does NOT reflect PSU offense in the first half!

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Let’s see how good this staff is at halftime adjustments.

Wisky made adjustments. They're rolling Joseph to his left.... never right.

 

[psuno1]

This team is really not that good, cannot rush the passer or run the ball and with out Howard pass it either.

 

[PSUForever]

Offense looks pathetic. No other way to put it. Not impressed with Mouser.

Not having Howard is hurting. Concerns after news of his injury justified.

 

[Nitt1300]

 

[bdgan]

67 yds rushing (Peoples 44)
59 yds passing

Becht nearly threw a pick on the final possession.

 

[KingLando]

You're all exaggerating with the concern here. The defense played very well. The offense is struggling as the lack anyone with the ability to stretch the field. We knew this coming in. Rocco's accuracy needs to improve but they also need to stop the little league mentality of everyone gets an opportunity. Play your best.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Are you watching? I thought you swore off viewing PSU football?

 

[royboy]

Not having Howard is hurting. Concerns after news of his injury justified.

Yeah, not throwing downfield Wisconsin is playing defense for the run and short pass game.

 

[PSUAVLNC]

67 yds rushing (Peoples 44)

Becht nearly threw a pick on the final possession.

The "all four backs need to play" isn't working out. Pick your war horse and ride him to a win!!

I haven't seen many great teams yet this year.

First half thoughts:

• Carson Hansen experiment needs to end. Peoples RB1, 25 and 26 as backups. Hansen 3rd down back.
• OC not calling plays like he trusts his QB
• Donkoh and interior OL struggling.
• Secondary was strength of the team going into the season, proving worth early
