Official 2023 PSU v. Illinois Game Thread...

[PrtLng Lion]

Good grief. We have to be able to score there. Looked like Singleton hesitated.

 

[BW Lion]

Squandered opp

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Felkins with the FG, so it's 3-0, PSU, with 5:27 left in the 1st qtr

 

[JWB389]

That wasn't a good angle on the FG. Sleepwalking, mistakes, bad playcalling. Not a good start at all.

 

[PSU87]

1st and goal from the 2 against a sucky defense and settle for a FG.....

 

[step.eng69]

Didn't like that 3rd down play for some reason.

Drops hurting and crappy third down call

3 attempts from the 2, and PSU ... gets -1 yards. smh

Piss poor play calls on the goal line. Yikes.

We really suck.

Patience grasshoppers
Too early to start bitching

Piss poor play calls on the goal line. Yikes.

Yeah not a fan of those calls. We played into their strength. Get the ball to our playmakers in space.

 

[ManxomeLion]

That was a win for the Illinois defense. 1st and goal from within the 5yd line and left with 3pts. That won't fly against Michigan or OSU

 

[Big_O]

Need some misdirection in the run game.

 

[psuno1]

Allar is on the money though.

like hell, I was bitching before kickoff

It’s early, but all the classic upset ingredients are present so far.

 

[FTLPSU]

This drive will tell a lot if we woke up and make adjustments

 

[Nitt1300]

tackling is a lost art

 

[JWB389]

Thought we got a bad spot on the run that got us to the 2. Looked it should been inside the 1. Knee wasn't down.

 

[BobPSU92]

UNDERSIZED.

 

[Paws057]

YES!

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Carter INT!!!

(shortly after noting all the award watch lists he's on)

 

[BVSt.Paul]

Nice pick! Now make them pay!!

 

[Nitt1300]

UNDERSIZED.

don't feel bad

 

[Calabrin]

Alright, I’m back from Alaska! Here we g— oh my god, why can’t we block for the run??

 

[BobPSU92]

Carter INT!!!

(shortly after noting all the award watch lists he's on)

Nice pick! Now make them pay!!

Plus 15 yards!

 

[step.eng69]

@BVSt.Paul agree, nice pick

 

[Calabrin]

Singleton: 4 rush, 4 yards

We’re going to get murdered by Michigan.

 

[WestSideLion]

This drive will tell a lot if we woke up and make adjustments

Nice int by Carter! We have to make them pay now with a TD.

 

[Nitt1300]

They will load up to stop the run on first down so how about a pass?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Singleton: 4 rush, 4 yards

We’re going to get murdered by Michigan.

too soon

 

[BobPSU92]

I thought we had a good offensive line.

 

[Calabrin]

Between the dropped passes and the total inability to run the ball — they’re just straight up being bullied at the line of scrimmage — the defense is going to have to win this game.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

They will load up to stop the run on first down so how about a pass?

they didn't get your message, unfortunately

 

[FTLPSU]

Coverage was there..

 

[Paws057]

Not looking to good so far…

 

[leinbacker]

It’s early, but all the classic upset ingredients are present so far.

The ingredients

1. Can’t run, while being soft against their run
2. Missed opportunities
3. James Franklin

 

[JWB389]

They keep telling us how strong our OL is. I don't think so.

 

[BobPSU92]

Our offense sucks balls.

 

[Paws057]

Hey at least he’s making field goals…

 

[LionsAndBears]

Felkins is solid.

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

MVP so far is #91 for PSU....

 

[BW Lion]

OL is getting tossed around like Barbies

 

[Calabrin]

too soon

ugh. Come on, Tom. They’re utterly swarming us. Their line is in our backfield before the hand offs are complete.
