Official PSU - MSU '25 Game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Please use this thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the 2025 PSU - MSU game.

We Are ...

- frustrated that we're going to miss the game, as we're at a conference
- hoping some of the positives from last week's game continue
- wondering how many times the Land Grant Trophy will be shown on the TV telecast
- not sure what to think about this game, but would like to see PSU players hoisting the trophy after the game

... Penn State!!!!!

So Liam Clifford is the back-up QB. Why not one of the walk-ons?
Coleman out again, now Harris (DB) and Belgrave-Shorter (Safety).
Kotelnicki better not be running Grunk at all. His bone-headed play calling at Iowa ended up with Smolik being injured.

What’s Coleman’s injury?

 

[Big_O]

Going to miss the second half as we are going out to dinner with my daughter who is visiting from California. But going to record it, anyway. I will watch it depending upon the outcome.

 

[DaytonRickster]

What’s Coleman’s injury?

I have no idea but that's two weeks in a row he hasn't been able to play.

 

[ZouaveLion]

What’s Coleman’s injury?

My suspicion is that he s gone and doesn't want to risk injury. Since the OSU game he s checked out...was seen talking many in scarlet and gray

I can't speak from first-hand knowledge. But the BWI guys, who do know these things, indicate that he is legitimately injured. So I wouldn't read too much into his being out other than he is injured.

[Ludd]

Broadcasters just said Michigan State has had 22 penalties in their last two games…bet they clean that up today and only get called for around two.

 

[DaytonRickster]

I am hoping their much improved play the last two weeks will mean a breakthrough today. At least Terry Smith has them playing much harder, credit to him.

 

[Big_O]

Why is it so hard for them to start CFB games on time? A 3:30 PM game should mean KO at 3:30 PM.

 

[NittPicker]

Lots of empty seats in East Lansing.

 

[AvgUser]

Super start

 

[m.knox]

Super

LOL.....

 

[PSUcup]

absolutely pathetic effort on that block on 2nd down by 87. Pathetic

 

[Paws057]

Seems to me this wasn’t the start they hoped for?

 

[BUFFALO LION]

That looked good.

 

[Big_O]

Predictable offensive series for Penn St.

 

[KingLando]

RUN RUN to start--who was surprised

 

[Arivacalion]

"win out"

 

[PSUcup]

Please for the love of ******* God stop playing Deluca. Please.

 

[KingLando]

Looks like Terry had the boys ready smh

 

[Arivacalion]

We still gonna win out?

 

[Bwifan]

Can they play anyone other than DeLuca ....brutal

 

[Paws057]

Hard to believe, they run one play and we’re behind already…..

 

[Big_O]

Penn State is going to lose out. They brought the F game. What a bunch of losers!

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Jim Knowles Superstar!

 

[Nittany1982]

Hard to win on the road with a start like this.

 

[DaytonRickster]

That looked good.

What a disterous start! Offensive blunder, terrible punt and once again Deluca gets beat. Why is Deluca even playing? The coaches need to bench him and play Tatsch & Wiley.

 

[KingLando]

Please for the love of ******* God stop playing Deluca. Please.

I mean, he's not good but we don't have many options--the bigger issue there was there was no second line of defense

 

[BUFFALO LION]

Penn State is going to lose out. They brought the F game. What a bunch of losers!

More like their Z Game.

 

[SouthHalls410]

Well ok…

 

[Shifty15]

Hard to win on the road with a start like this.

Hard to win on the road with a TEAM like this!

 

[ManxomeLion]

It's still early, but this team can't get out of it's own way.

We have an option. Tatsch.

 

[PSU Soupy 615]

If we had St College High playing instead of PSU, would the score be better? Serious question. 3 plays and punt on offense. 1 play TD MSU.
