Okay but the right tackle in 3rd period was bad. OL needs to get better.Left tackle for PSU is supposed to be 1st round pick. When will we have OL drafted?

Seems we could not stop the outside blitz once they knew we had to pass

#2 defense in the country vs. an offense with a young QB< an injured OL, an injured feature back...the odds weren't too good going in.

One more game and we can stack up the 2023 total offense performance vs the last two years. T think we improved.

Everyone calling for the pass. Where did it get us today? Some nice completions but a lost fumble and an int. Do that in the 1st half and you lose by 38.

Decent one on one passing game using slants today

How about helping RT and trying those slants a few more times.

Don’t have to make 1.5 million to realize you should help out RT

I liked PSU's delayed QB run. It creates space. we should implement that.

KC is working with limitations everywhere and a QB that can't cover them up.

Retire the slow mesh in the off season.

Considering the talent differential, imposing your will seemed unlikely. Gw was throwing the ball well. Take some shots when the def is scheming to stop the run instead of waiting till they are looking to take his head off. I'm no big GW supporter but he was productive today. The coaching didn't give him a chance to truly succeed. This decision may have kept it close bit was never going to give RU any chance to win

You're right dude we should pass with our heisman level QB every play,.not run with the leading rusher in the conference.
Well our QB was passing well today in the 1st half….our stud RB was not doing well
Our playcalling is terrible and if you can’t see it then don’t know what to tell you

We used a new running play today (the 4th one in the playbook that I know of) Worked well the first three times they called it!

That was the most uncreative offense I've ever seen. Do you think they wouldn't be able to stop Kyle when they knew he was running to the same place 80% of the time? You've got to take risks to mitigate the talent differential. We seem to play to try not to get blown out. That strategy is working better than in the past so yes, we're making progress but we're never beating eanked teams playing this way. This is embarrassingly obvious when you look at how long it's been since we've beat a ranked team.

Maybe just maybe their defense is just way more talented and has way more depth than our offense. It's not always on the play calling. You have to work with what you have.

Take risks like have Gavin throw over the middle where he has like 90% of his picks and consistency overthrows his receivers?

So the play calling that got 3 points on the first drive and nothing close after was a shinning success with that #1 rushing attack? Clown! That may work against D2 schools or coach less teams but No chance against any actual football team. One dimensional horrid to watch

Can put offense be anymore vanilla? Granted we don’t have a QB but Kirk gets paid to be creative not embarrassed week over week.

Maybe just maybe PSU adjusted their defense and our OLine was consistently getting beat off the line. Not a great formula for Gavin to be dropping back every play.

another Bad post just meant to cause trouble.
Maybe the Bad will tell us what Bad's nitwit students in happy valley think or maybe baddie will inform us what a Nit player told the Bad in confidence because Baddie claims to be a Penn State prof that's in the know.

I don’t care if we lose by 38 or by 3. A loss is a loss. I hated the ultra safe play calling in the 1st half. We aren’t going to win with that type of play calling against teams like Penn state. Sure he might throw a pick 6 and we lose by 38. It’s also possible Gavin completes the throws and we have a chance for a win.

Question. Do you think if Wagner played Georgia and Wagner had Chip Kelly in his prime calling the offense Wagner would look good?
I understand your point but feel it isn't an honest equivalency. Wagner would never be in the game. Rutgers was. Wagner is not in the same conference as the hypothetycal.opponent. Rutgers is.

There is a talent differential but its not quite that extreme that calls don't matter. Defensive calls seem to negate that differential for Rutgers often enough.

Ok so which adjustments should they have made?

Don't run up the middle after the run game gave the ball away?
The ball is the program, right?
Well they gave the ball away early.
After an INT do we pass the ball 6 times in a row?

Maybe try passing in an advantageous position instead of just 3rd down?
