Official PSU - Iowa '25 game thread

[pennstatefan111]

Someone better get fired this week.

 

[Moogy]

3rd and 5, take out the bell cow Kaytron for bum Singleton and get stuffed? Dance who you came with!

Allen is getting stuffed there, too. It was a dumb play call.

 

[SouthHalls410]

Horrendous play calling. Even more pi$$ poor is the lack of depth LBers. Effing A. I’m just so stinking pi$$ed.

 

[m.knox]

It cuts out constantly on my bulk cable (hotwire/fision). If I had wanted to DVR this game, there is no way it would have recorded.

I was able to switch from Google to the Fire Stick and get a better signal. I was horrible on Google.

 

[KingLando]

The frustrating thing is--Ferentz tried to lose this game

 

[PSUwolf]

Another heartbreaking loss. Caused by a major and predictable defensive collapse.

That can't be true. We're paying our genius DC $3.1 million

 

[Moogy]

Hire Franklin so you can fire him again!

 

[JVP_Yahweh]

Why take 13 out on that play? JFC

 

[LMTLION]

I am still watching knowing the ending.

 

[AvgUser]

Does Groniwski have more rushing yards than passing?

 

[BobPSU92]

Franklin is long gone but his coaching hires still keep kicking me in the shins.

nuts

 

[Zone-Blitz]

This game has revealed how deep the problems go. These coordinators are horrible

 

[psuno1]

Again. You can’t tell me there isn’t someone better than Deluca on the team

Jack Ham says he is the smartest player on the field. LOL

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Amazing the 3 big plays were all QB runs for 40 yards, a QB TD, and a 60 yard QB run. Knowles just can’t figure that thing out.

Yeah, Iowa’s offense sucks…how the hell do let them go 75 yards in 2 plays?

 

[KingLando]

Allen is getting stuffed there, too. It was a dumb play call.

100%--Nick was put in a bad spot but why the hell isn't Allen on the field in that situation

You think we'd defend the QB run at some point

 

[Moogy]

Jack Ham says he is the smartest player on the field.

He can do calculus problems on the sideline while the game goes on.

 

[JVP_Yahweh]

Ugh... what a horrible way to lose. Cael will get revenge

 

[LMTLION]

No qb spy knowing this is their bread and butter.

 

[jmorovich]

Another QB run. Knowles is a genius

 

[KingLando]

Does Groniwski have more rushing yards than passing?

Like 2x as many

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU 2 TOs left after the INT

Iowa's possession:

1st: Iowa rushes for 3
PSU calls TO with 1:08 left
2nd: Iowa in shotgun, QB keeps it, rushes for 3, and PSU calls TO with 1:01 left
PSU has to get a stop here
3rd & 4: the QB keeps it, and picks up the 1st down
smh

That should be it

 

[BobPSU92]

Penn State should stop playing football.

 

[Nits1989]

If

 

[frnkwms1212]

Speedster Gronowski

 

[SouthHalls410]

Again no effffffffing spy on the QB. Dumpster fire

 

[psu0408]

Game on the line, the defense rested but gives up a 2 play TD drive, and Kotelnicki runs singleton up the middle into a stacked LOS.

 

[Tradewinds42]

Really really bad coaching. Oh well.

 

[KingLando]

Just looking forward to next year--unless we hire Rhule

 

[Big_O]

For the rest of the season expect the offense to get blitzed every play. Grunk does not recognize the blitz and is not a passing threat. Expect a blowout in Columbus.

 

[jmorovich]

I’m not gonna look it up but just gonna guess, did our D have 2 qb’s lead their team in rushing this season??

 

[StamfordBridgeVikingatLeftOffensiveTackle]

Well, look on the bright side. The guys have a week off to prepare for and upset tOSU in the Horseshoe and then hammer IU at home. Much better days ahead. Stay positive. Channel your inner Norman Vincent Peale.

“Obviously”

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Final: 25-24, Iowa

 

[PSU Mike]

I mean, Iowa went 75 yards on two plays for a TD with 5 mins left in the 4th QTR while down by five. That’s this season in a nutshell. Highest paid assistant coach in all of ncaa sports, and the defense has given up 4th QTR or OT leads in four straight games.

Not against UCLA.

 

[pendal1]

This game has revealed how deep the problems go. These coordinators are horrible

So are the players.

 

[PSU Mike]

Can anyone hazard a guess as to why the ball was given to Singleton on 3rd and 5?

Here's my guess:

Kotelnicki is FURIOUS that Franklin got fired instead of him.

Kaytron was tired. Serious.

 

[mcpat]

They played hard. I’ll give them respect for that. But this team just isn’t very good. I don’t understand how that is.

 

[AvgUser]

Penn State should stop playing football.

Would we know the difference right now?

 

[psuno1]

3rd & 5 and we run Nick lmao

3rd & 5 and we run Nick lmao

For a yard, great call

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Well, look on the bright side. The guys have a week off to prepare for and upset tOSU in the Horseshoe and then hammer IU at home. Much better days ahead. Stay positive. Channel your inner Norman Vincent Peale.
