We’re going to wipe our a$$es with indiana today. Smith laughs at Ciggie.
There’s a football game today? Weird, you’d hardly know it by looking around here.
I think he has been dinged up this year. The reason he has limited playing time.
I've been around a long time, and I don't remember ever expecting a loss to Indiana before.
Smolik (QB) is still out and the Freshman QB is questionable. Clifford was receiving reps this week. Isn't there a walk-on QB, he couldn't be worse than putting Clifford in an emergency?
If Kotelnicki has any sense he will avoid plays that put Grunk at risk of injury. The OL better commit themselves to playing the very best they've played all year and to protect Grunk (i.e., earn their $)
I heard he was sick. I still know a few people on campus and they said the flu has been making its rounds.

Spending the afternoon at school building benches for the outdoor classroom then catching the Upper School performance of Elf Jr. the Musical. Appreciate updates fellas!
Ugh, another game with Gus Johnson. PSU radio PBP, here I come
JMO--that's an amazing crowd for a 3-5 team that hasn't won in over a month
DeLuca with a nice play, but can we stop celebrating on 2nd down stops?
PSU's D forces a 3 & out.
Then a 17-yard punt return. Alas, a flag on the return. The refs pick up the flag, so PSU starts on their 42

lol ….you find many IUP people wearing their colors to a penn state game do ya?
Dude do you live in the area? They loved Cignetti there. And dude, I know alums who were going in their red, so there’s that.
why is that an issue?
PSU's OL has underperformed this season.
Indiana's DL is terrific
So you throw something at them right at the start that is a surprise. And Kaytron picked up 4 yards on the play, so it's hardly a bad outcome.
Another week, another refusal to throw the ball down field. 3rd and 12, you're targeting a receiver at line of scrimmage.
Grunk throws way behind a wide open Hudson. His passing looks terrible this far.
PSU picked up an initial 1st down. Then the had a run for -2, and 2 incomplete passes, so they have to punt.
Gabe's punt lands around the 9, but bounces backwards, so it's downed around the 18 (give or take)

It was behind him but it still hit him in the hands. How about making a catch.
It's points to the larger problem that has plagued this team all year. Instead of coming out with a legit game plan we spend too much time on gimmicky stuff--like the last pass they tried to get to Pena. We need to focus on the basics especially with a young QB. And Allen isn't the guy that should be running that play which is yet another problem--not using your players to their strengths.
Been going for 50’plus years dude and never saw any. By definition fair weather fans
