Official ‘26 PSU - Temple game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew

That's an understatement! Like they're trying to leave Temple with no time???
I don't get it, don't those players see the yellow line on the field?
Terrific hurry-up drive there. Great execution!
Okay--great throw on the TD--that was horrible clock management
Poor clock management, but it worked out thankfully.
Still some weird clock management by Campbell. It worked out but got lucky.
All i can think of is that they knew they would take a shot and didn;t want any time left for TU
Reminiscent of early Franklin at Penn State. He did get better.Dare I say Franklinesque?
Maybe? I got nothing here--I'm utterly lost but that's better than anything I got
As bad as they've played, they really should be up 27-3.
I do truly believe HCs should hire 16 year olds that play Madden 18 hours a day to do their clock management
His games last year were about half good and half bad and I really don’t care how he did last year, it matters how he does this year.
Like you have to ask. Look at all the knowledge here. It’s an embarrassment
They can throw all day on this team; they obviously got too conservative on the two first quarter drives.
The difference really were those two early red zone drives. We come away with 10 points there instead of 0, and everything feels differently. We didn't execute on those few plays and it cost us. (and the over-pursuit on the long Smolik run where we didn't account for him and it flipped the field)
Almost, but we wouldn't have scored with Franklin.Dare I say Franklinesque?
I do wonder how much time is spent during practices at managing time, or thinking through situations, or reviewing game management decisions, etc. Is the head coach solely responsible for calling TOs?
Back when we hired Campbell, I said 6-5 first year.
Well, we have the lead at the half. But most of our good plays were followed by really frustrating plays. Lots of verbal frustration from the large PSU group of fans at the game, though a nice celebration at the end of the 1st half after the TD. My quick report from the stands at Lincoln Financial Field.
It'd look even better if Sowell would've held on to that TD throw. He's fine, Temple is playing over their heads. I expect PSU to run away with it in the 2nd half. Can't believe people are crying, but here we are.
Well, today, Michigan is playing like a NC contender, which I predicted. Let’s say how this team develops. Two seasons ago, they almost lost at home to BG and made it to the Final Four. In 2023, they played a terrible game against Northwestern and finished 10-3.
