Official '24 PSU - tOSU game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Please use this thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the 2024 PSU - Ohio State game.

I know it's an early game, and @Midnighter probably has kid duties today, but still expect him to put together some excellent drinks at the bar, and having some amazing servers for such, for such a big game.

We Are ...

- wishing we were at the game, on such a glorious fall day
- tired of losing close games, games that should have been won by PSU, and not-very-close games to the Buckeyes
- anticipating that the PSU students will be quite loud and disruptive for tOSU
- curious how the injuries that both teams suffered last week impact this game
- expecting to be celebrating a PSU victory at the end of the game

... Penn State!!!

Report from the Press Box is that scouts from 14 NFL teams are at today's game. They like to go to games where there is NFL talent on the field, and like to see how such talent does when facing NFL talent on the other side of the LOS.

OSU's LT out so they're moving the LG out there. The key to a flying start would be to load up that side and expose that weakness. Put that QB under fire throughout so he can't find those lethal receivers.

Hoping Donkoh and DDS can go!

The inside info guy on Big noon said Rucci was going to get the start.

 

[leinbacker]

Is it true Franklin did this because tOSU players can’t read script and thus, won’t be able to find the end zone?

The inside info guy on Big noon said Rucci was going to get the start.

in OL warmups, Rucci appears to be with the ones at RT, and Donkoh is with the twos.

You already out of your tree stand, and have your meat smoked? All before noon?

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

There are a lot of red shirts in the crowd

questions:

who gets the credit for a win?
who gets the blame for a loss?

 

[Paws057]

I see we get Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt today...

Most likely if they win it will be, 'even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while' and if they lose it'll be, 'James just can't win the big one and we need a new coach'....

Gus Johnson is already annoying me. I'm going with the radio PBP

I couldn't get the audio through LionVision for that reason, so I am streaming one of the radio network broadcasts.

Yes, that’s a head scratcher. I’m using Rocky 104.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Ohio State wins the toss, and defers.

Thats what I'm doing

Jenny Taft on the sidelines has too many layers on

Singleton on the KO returns it to the 27.

 

[FTLPSU]

Like the offensive strategy so far..need this first down to stay on track!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 1, and it's close on the run by Singleton.

Witovet must not be on the field, as they award the 1st down to PSU

 

[PSU87]

A generous spot for us for once

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Allar scrambles and gets the 1st on 3rd & 1

 

[FTLPSU]

Allar smart play young man! Mature and wise!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Allar scrambles on 1st down, and he's into tOSU territory.

 

[PSU87]

They're not accounting for Allar running

 

[Midnighter]

Singleton on the KO returns it to the 27.

Thanks for this - am still at the school for an environmental stewardship effort. Hope to tune in soon….

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Allar on an RPO and he gets the 1st down. All the D crashed on Singleton.
