Fact--our WRs just have awful hands especially on plays slightly off target.

Official PSU - Indiana '25 game thread

He's saying IUP fans could be there to support their former coach--not sure why this is confusing.
PSU QBs continue to have the inability to lead players so they can catch in stride.
Once again there was only 1 defender in the middle of the field. Opposing QBs keep taking off up the middle for big yds on 3rd down.
No adjustments since UCLA.
I can't remember anything like this in all my years watching PSU football. Where's G. Capone when you need him?

It’s not. But to suggest or imply they are making up a large contingent of the fans wearing red today is a little presumptuous.
Ok defense holding so far. Will AK call a forward pass on 1st or 2nd down this time?
Not watching the game, but following it on Yahoo, noticed the QB's name is Fernando, all I can think about is that old ABBA song, now that's going thru my head. Ugh.
You have to be kidding.
It points to coming out and having a legitimate game plan, with surprise being a key element.
They picked up the initial 1st down, then ran on 1st down in a traditional set, with Kaytron trying to go between the tackles, and they lost 2 yards on that play. So by implication, you would have preferred that play, which would have been pretty predictable off of their trends, on the 1st play of the game?
On the pass to Pena, it was 3rd & 12. An obvious passing play, with a freshman starting the 3rd game of his college career. The DBs were loaded up. A crossing pattern, which they ran on that play, made a lot of sense, in that it's unlikely to get picked off, and could also settle the QB. Unfortunately, Grunk threw it behind Ross (not the end of the world). If they had tried to hit a WR/TE down a seam, with the DBs expecting a pass, and Grunk had been that off that much on his throw in that situation, it would have very likely been picked off.
I'm done explaining individual plays, and philosophy, in this thread.

Will we see Koby Howard and down field passing, or just more BS coach talk?
I grouse about this every f'ing Saturday. A lot of players don't get off their blocks. All I remember from HS football is if the guy is trying to block you one way, push him back in the opposite direction. These guys seem to stand up and look for the play... Pisses me off. Pissed me off when I played in HS. Getting blocked and watching the play.
Never said they were making up a large contingent. Just saying there could be many there. Geesh. Settle down.
We may need to bring in some transfer portal guys and pay them a bunch of money. Oh wait.
1st down: Kaytron for 4 on a sweep
2nd down: Kaytron for 1 between the tackles
3rd down: IU blitzes, and Grunk is sacked
PSU has to punt, and Gabe kicks a 43-yard punt, which IU fair catches, at the IU 32

And just on cue Dawkins wiffs on his block and Grunk gets smothered.Just pathetic….
How about the pathetic block attempt by Dawkins who's in his sixth year. He may be a good kid but he is a terrible football player. If he stayed here 20 years he would still suck. Our linemen can't even get out of their stance.
