Time to look in on my invalids. Wife had (scheduled) surgery on Wednesday, younger son had (emergency) surgery on Wednesday. Glad to be back home for the game!
Official 2024 PSU - WVU Game Thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
Both WR and DB were handfighting so they let it go. Call both OPI and DPI? Not going to happen. If the pass fell incomplete I bet DPI would not have been called.
Damn, hope they're OK and recover quick. Tough week!
Slightly disagree, based on comments coming out of camp. WR room seems revived in spirit, new coordinators/schemes can be exciting, etc. Drew looking good - agree with that. Liked the fight he showed on the one errant snap, when he confronted the ref about defensive hand clap.
Looking at Weather Channel future radar, it could be a couple hours
It's too early to call CJF's OC hire a success, but so far it doesn't look anything like failure to me.
Thank you! Recovering at home 1000X better than in hospital.
Saw him for a one or two plays. The guys in there are doing just fine.
Maryland has embraced the Pitt model: Win the first few games, get ranked, start beating their chest, then have a losing/near losing record at year end.
With regard to the rain delay, I hope this doesn't become a Michigan State scenario.
They're both ambulatory now, so at least bathroom help is not needed.That’s some multi-tasking. Playing nurse and watching football.
You are right, not a cakewalk, however…no Oregon, no Michigan. OSU at home again. Washington, UCLA at home. Only long road trip is at USC. The schedule could be FAR worse.
I think it is a wash (no pun intended). WVU rushing game seems to be their strength.
I’d say a bigger advantage for PSU in passing game. WR/TE’s know where to expect the ball vs DB’s.
BTW back to the 2 point attempt (bad decision)
Shlaffer was open for a couple seconds but Beau waited too long to throw it…

He did run an option in the first where he pitched to the rb for a first on third down
I’m positive about Drew. Ask anyone on here. I don’t think James can get it done, so I won’t pretend that he suddenly can because he can beat WVU. Your line of thinking is how you get emperor Joe paterno who can’t be questioned, holds the program hostage, and eventually can’t see the Sandusky iceberg when you need him to. Also, I don’t find positivity in consistently getting your butt kicked by the better teams that we play. Franklin and Drew need to do it when the big dogs are playing. But never surrender the program to one man again, regardless of who it is.
Kaytron is a mudder
I was thinking along those lines for RBs. They know which side or gap they want to hit - would-be tacklers might slip while making adjustments.
OTOH, I have confidence in Lion defense to be gap-sound and give LBs/DBs microsecond to adjust.
Hopefully we see second half soon. I can't delay loading the dishwasher and cleaning the litter box much longer . . .
Projection - and a poor one at that. I just don't feel the need to criticize Franklin 7/24/365. Borders on mania.
