Official PSU - Indiana '25 game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

1st: Grunk looks to pass, can't find anybody and scrambles to the left, and picks up 6
2nd: Singleton tries to run wide on the short side, and is tackled behind the LOS, 3rd & 5
3rd: quick toss to Pena, he is tackled a yard short of the 1st down

End of the 1st qtr.

4th: appears PSU will go for it ... pass to Rapaleye, and he picks up the 1st down (not by much)

 

[AvgUser]

This is the worst defense I’ve ever seen at stopping a QB run

I think that has sadly been a PSU tradition

 

[Paws057]

Yep keep running that same stupid play over and over again! They’ll never catch on right Andy?

 

[jmorovich]

There was not ONE defender more than 7 years from the LOS! That was a horrendous play call. They HAVE to start throwing down the field.

 

[KingLando]

Offense is so predictable

 

[Tom McAndrew]

1st: pass to Dinkins for 6
2nd: pitch to Singleton and the DE beat Shelton and tackled Singleton just after he received the pitch; loss of 4
3rd: Pena down the middle, he breaks a tackle, and gets to the 13!!

 

[KingLando]

Nice throw on third down---tons of time--great protection

 

[bdgan]

Shelton got smoked

 

[Calabrin]

Kotelnicki's mind is blown after Penn State gains 45 yards with a mid-range throw over the middle of the field.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

1st: Singleton for 8 (good block by Shelton)
2nd: Singleton to the 2, for a 1st down

1st & goal: Singleton up the middle for a TD!!!

 

[PSUcup]

Nick running hard. Great drive there

 

[Calabrin]

Touchdown, Penn State!

[clears throat] THROW THE BALL OVER THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD!

 

[AvgUser]

Holy Sh*t. A pulse

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With the PAT, it's 7-7, with 11:08 left in the 2nd qtr

 

[PhillyBillyReprise]

"These WRs just don't get open"

SCHEME

Please remove any singleton run from the playbook

Good idea. NOT

 

[Bwifan]

It's amazing the good things that can happen when you throw the ball down the field ...SMH Andy wake up

 

[m.knox]

1st: Singleton for 8 (good block by Shelton)
2nd: Singleton to the 2, for a 1st down

1st & goal: Singleton up the middle for a TD!!!

Sign of life!

 

[Wlawnlion]

Big series coming up for the D

 

[Tom McAndrew]

now Jenny would get my undivided attention if she followed this trend.

 

[Tor_Eckman]

Pena is sooooooo slow. Should have scored. Why is Singleton in the game? Obviously, he is turrible. Fire Smith now. Avoid the rush.

 

[BobPSU92]

Not watching the game. Enjoying a French Toast Muffin and Mocha Latte.

 

[bdgan]

Even in the most conservative of the JoePa years, I’ve never seen our offense so afraid of throwing the ball down the field. Hell, I would take spread HD over this shat.

We won a BiG title with the spread HD

 

[bdgan]

And it seems #9 is always chasing the wide open receiver.

We really miss J Reed from last year.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

IU with a FC on the KO, so they will start on their 25

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

The quarterback was drilled by the dentist, DDS

Not a real dr

 

[Paws057]

Now they call holding,

 

[Tom McAndrew]

sack, by DDS, on 3rd down.

flag on the play, and it's defensive holding against Collins. smh

 

[m.knox]

Unbelievable.....

 

[Calabrin]

This penalty brought to you by the B1G administration.

 

[PSUcup]

Pathetic tackling

 

[KingLando]

Collins definitely grabbed him--he beat him badly. "Ticky-tacky"--I don't know about that--I'd want that called

 

[WaffleShopper]

No pick call of course.

 

[Alphalion75]

We may need to bring in some transfer portal guys and pay them a bunch of money. Oh wait.

We simply can't tackle.

 

[KingLando]

Pathetic tackling

Fact

 

[PSUcup]

Just brutal

 

[Tom McAndrew]

nice D by Zion in the endzone on 2nd down

3rd & 10 for IU: just a nice throw by Mendoza as he's scrambling. He threw it across his body, and behind the receiver, who caught it for the 1st down at the 5. So close to getting a stop there.

 

[Paws057]

Finally

 

[KingLando]

Ridiculous 3rd down conversion

 

[bdgan]

We're so weak up the middle (DT & LB). Harris & Wheatley were still there to stop the 3rd down play and couldn't make the tackle.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

sack by Darius Dixon on 2nd down

He actually punched the ball out as hit hit Mendoza, but PSU got unlucky as Mendoza fell on the ball as he was sacked.
