Official PSU - NW '25 Game thread

[KingLando]

AK and CJF need to be fired for still having NS in the game. Inexcusable

 

[psu0408]

2 min timeout and a goal line run without 13. Playing to lose

 

[Paws057]

Finally

 

[Tom McAndrew]

on the 3rd & 2, the right of PSU's OL got caved in, which destroyed Singleton's chance on the play.

the OL has to do a better job

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Singleton!!!!

Dinkins with a key block

 

[Knickslions69]

The decision has been made: this is Singleton's series, come hell or high water. We're simply not interested in playing to win.

TD singleton

 

[ZouaveLion]

A pitch play! I can't believe it!

 

[KingLando]

Well Nick got his TD so hopefully we go back to Allen now

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With the PAT, it's 14-10, PSU, with 1:19 left in the 2nd qtr.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

There's the pitch toss. I might be a better OC than AK

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Glad that one worked out. Don't want the wife yelling at me again. "Stop screaming at the TV- they can't hear you!"

I wonder if the school has a contract with Singleton that specifies a number of series or touches. Yeah , he just scored a td but Allen would have scored a few plays earlier.

 

[Calabrin]

"Coach James Franklin said it's going to be a 2:1 split on carries, at least, in favor of Kaytron Allen."

Allen: 9 car, 59 yds, TD, 6.6 ypc
Singleton: 7 car, 20 yds, TD, 2.9 ypc

-Not even close to 2:1
-Allen outperforming Singleton by a mile.

 

[Paws057]

It didn't. Watch the replay...
Just like the last time we ran the play. Bad throw that and NFL back catches
What the hell was that 3rd down call

Well you keep believing that!

 

[KingLando]

Glad that one worked out. Don't want the wife yelling at me again. "Stop screaming at the TV- they can't hear you!"

They hear you

 

[KingLando]

Well you keep believing that!

I mean reality is what it is
It was a bad throw

 

[LMTLION]

Well you keep believing that!

Do yourself a favor and place him on ignore.

 

[Calabrin]

Exactly. He got stuffed twice. He has no business being in the game when Penn State is losing.

 

[Big_O]

TD, Singleton!!!!

Dinkins with a key block

I’ve been watching where Dinkins lines up. It’s true that about 90% of the plays go toward the side where he lines up.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU's KO goes into the endzone, so NW will start on their 25. 1:19 left in the half

Allen played the first two series. Singleton the next.

 

[Paws057]

Its okay I can take it..lol

I believe there has been a lot of deals made with certain players. These backroom deals/NIL has torn apart this team.

 

[Calabrin]

A nice defensive play wiped out by yet another stupid penalty.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

facemark against PSU, on 2nd down. smh

 

[Paws057]

Nice play and ya had to grab the face mask…..

 

[Calabrin]

Allen played the first two series. Singleton the next.

The number of touches is what matters.

 

[KingLando]

I believe there has been a lot of deals made with certain players. These backroom deals/NIL has torn apart this team.

All teams likely have them in this era
But there's other ways to involve NS

 

[Paws057]

Amazing

 

[BobPSU92]

WIN. THE. MIDDLE. EIGHT.

 

[WestSideLion]

This defense is just fundamentally poor.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

damn, stop their screen plays. smh

 

[BobPSU92]

These guys give up too many f*cking yards.

 

[CoolBean]

NW just marking down with no issues

 

[PrtLng Lion]

You have to be kidding. Fisher penalties killing us. Bench his ***

 

[KingLando]

Northwestern was content going to the half down by 4. We have no passing game yet we wanted to get the ball back. Just all dumb.

 

[BobPSU92]

What was that call?

 

[Paws057]

Another timely penalty

 

[frnkwms1212]

discipline

 

[Tom McAndrew]

good grief. I disagree with the PF on Fisher on the 3rd down incompletion. He was a half or quarter step from the QB when he released it. smh

FWIW, Jack Ham strongly disagreed with the call on the radio broadcast
