One of the worst QB performances I’ve ever seen at Penn State. Almost every play was terrible.. It is pretty rare a QB doesn’t at least redeem himself slightly. Nope.

The WISKY. o_O QB did, bigly. Our offense sucked balls all day. Never snapped out of it.

They talked about Eskildson being the fastest player on the team. Doesn't do any good if Becht is underthrowing him constantly. Doesn't help that Eskildson doesn't seem to fight for the ball either.

The defense was awesome almost all day. The offense just kept giving it right back. Four three-and-outs in a row.
Yep let’s throw on 1st down with 8 minutes left up by ten. Then end out only burning 1 minute off clock without Wisky using a TO.

game would be over if you take 2-3 minutes off the clock and punt at that point in time

Well he didn't under throw that last pass!

I had no expectations coming into the season that we would field a competitive team and unfortunately that has played out. Rocco Becht isn’t ready for prime time. He overthrows everyone. Our play calling sucked. Let’s figure out how we are paying 750 million dollars back that we borrowed to upgrade the factory of sadness

Time will tell whether Campbell can handle a program like Penn State. The early results aren’t great.

Pat Kraft may be in trouble here. He took a big swing.
Blackledge has Kraft's back. It's a weird combination of Todd's quiet influence over the NLC and his overt Christianity. I'll stop now

Welp I hate to see Penn State lose, I hate it.....but they deserved to lose. Gotta take my hat off to Wisconsin, they never quit.
This is worse than last year how can that be? Woof. Hope this is not the start of the Dark years again.

Doesn't really matter but, yeah, probably--can't blow a 17-0 lead at home to a team like Wisconsin
Not as bad as our UCLA loss last year but bad
And the most experienced QB in the country was pathetic. He consistently under threw receivers on deep throws, missed several receivers by a lot of throws over the middle and of course throws the ball out of the back of the end zone on the game ending Hail Mary. I also never thought I would see a more innovative offense than what Penn State ran from a Fickell coached team.

Post-game thoughts
  • All this talk about size, and the interior IOL got pushed around all game. Has a DT made an impact play all year?
  • How many first drive field goals do we have this year? Time to start going for it on 4th and short.
  • 3rd and 7-10 in our own territory, OC doesn’t trust becht so we run and punt
  • No RB screens or swing passes
  • No WR screens
  • Nothing over the middle of the field

I just haven’t been into PSU football at all lately. Or college football for that matter. Barely watched any today and only tuned into this game after half time. Just don’t care much anymore. Would like to win of course but not a priority to watch anymore. Even going to games is more about being with friends and family than anything else. Good game by the Badgers - they wanted it more. Ah well. New SNL tonight. Cheers fellas!
I feel the exact same way. And we go up to PSU, it’s to be with friends than the game
I'm grateful wrestling season starts in 7 weeks!
I’m grateful to have Duke as my backup football team.

Again.

Rapp did the best he could. Used his arm twice to get that open. Could have been called OPI.
If you are referring to the throw in the end zone near the end of the game watch again and you will see that the DB tipped the ball away at the last second because “surprise” Becht under threw the pass (again).

Sure could've used the Fat Man to grind some clock in the 4th. Can we bring him back for a covid year?
