How is that not a block in the back? Defender breaks away from block is pursuing and NW TE shoves him directly in the back past runner so he can't make hit??? This league is so f'ing laughable to pick up a thrown flag on a clear penalty.

Could Sorrell have been any more open on 2nd and 6? Then another pass short of the sticks on 3rd.

This one is over, gang. They just gave up.

Becht's actually been better than Chiles (I know that's not saying much) but we can't stop the run

Look at the bright side. We held them to 8 yds on that last run.

I could blame PSU's lower talent and poor performance on the fact that we went from having (42) five and four-star players the last 3 seasons to only 24 this year per 247 sports ratings.
Then, I checked Northwestern and they only have 10, Sooooo...there's that.

I blinked and missed that entire offensive series. We must’ve gone 2-and-out.

Didn't think of that. Getting into his head is probably more likely than playing through an injury.
Could be a combo but I don't see anything that indicates an injury. I think he lost Howard, the level of competition improved and he's struggling
