Game Thread: Northwestern @ No. 11 Penn State
- Thread starter mshelton33

Defense sucks again after we waste another turnover. Offense has been unable to take advantage of those turnovers.
Outcoached. Well there’s a short pass that Hilisnki missed badly on. Then he throws a perfect back shoulder ball downfield on the next play
This is the moment we keep seeing, game after game...a loss of composure and mental breakdowns after a setback.
They'll score MANY more if we can't pick up a 1st down. The D will get more and more tired and soon the floodgates will open.
Hilinski has only thrown one accurate pass today. If Sullivan can run then he needs to be in there.
No more transfers please. If you keep going with the portal, you will only get castoffs and also show your program fails to develop quarterbacks, thus keeping really good qb prospects from wanting to come to NU. Fitz is a ball less wonder. Start a promising signed QB and run with him from the get go and let him grow, bumps, bruises and all. Of course that means dumping Bahamian and eventually Fitz.
We can’t even take a gift interception. That totally screwed us. He catches that, it’s possible he could have scored. Now we are at the 3 yard line it will be run, run, pass (and if not intercepted) then a short punt that will put PSU back where they were inside our territory.
I know it wasn’t a “mistake” but that play could have completely turned the field position and the momentum.

We can’t seem to string together 2 positive plays.
Looks like Hilinski took a big shot to the right shoulder in the dive for the ball.

TURNOVER U!
Well, that's about where Penn State would have had the ball if we'd punted from our 4.
