Official PSU - Ohio Game Thread

[FTLPSU]

They will get Singleton his first TD

 

[PSU87]

Agreed. How can that be a blindside block if the defender is looking right at the blocker?

Because it was a $hitty call

 

[ManxomeLion]

That’s an AWFUL call even by Big 10(12)(14)(16) standards!

The ghost of John O'Neil

 

[BobPSU92]

Last week, Clifford was in his sixth year at PSU because no one wanted him. This week, he’s a “Super Senior”. I like the latter better.

 

[BobPSU92]

Touchdown!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Clifford with the sneak for the TD!

 

[BobPSU92]

The “bush push”?



Be right back.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With the PAT, it's 7-0, PSU, with 6:45 left in the 1st qtr.

Cliff was 6 for 6 on the opening drive

 

[PSU87]

Lol....announcer called that TD "indefensible"....

We should call it the Crane Technique

 

[ManxomeLion]

Clifford running is a positive sign as well.

 

[Tri-Power65]

Heckuva nice first series!

 

[SouthCarolion]

Clifford with the sneak for the TD!

Previous play at the pylon would be a TD…if we were Indiana

 

[BW Lion]

That’s an AWFUL call even by Big 10(12)(14)(16) standards!

It’s a clearly biased MAC crew, isn’t it?

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Clifford and all three of the backs get into the end zone and the two officials come running in as though it’ll be second and goal.

 

[Ludd]

Agreed. How can that be a blindside block if the defender is looking right at the blocker?

Another rule that Big officials can use against select teams when needed….likely OSU and Michigan will never get called for it but will be the beneficiaries of it frequently.

Time to bring in Allar.

 

[PSUSignore]

Fantastic start. Defense looked great on all but one play that was a nice throw by Ohio QB. Offense picked up yardage in chunks and marched down the field. Surprised at the young WRs getting early action.

 

[PSU12046]

That’s an AWFUL call even by Big 10(12)(14)(16) standards!

I guess we're still lucky to be playing football.

 

[PSUSignore]

Always love the announcers complaining about games being too long when commercial breaks are the #1 cause. The whole TD, commercial, kickoff, commercial situation is why games are 4 hours long.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Time to bring in Allar.

Time to bring in Allar.

Clifford with the sneak for the TD!

Why do they call it a "sneak?" Even my dog knew Cliff would keep it.

 

[PSUSignore]

Texas FG. Now tied 3-3 vs. Bama.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Clifford and all three of the backs get into the end zone and the two officials come running in as though it’ll be second and goal.

yeah, that was surprising.

also, FWIW, one of the "backs" was TE Strange

 

[PSUSignore]

I've been curious about this for a while, never saw an answer. Why do teams hold up tarps behind the playcallers on the sideline? First noticed some teams doing this a few years ago and looks like Ohio does it.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

damn, nearly with the sack, but Ohio gets the completion in front of JPJ for the 1st down.

Reed blitzing nearly got the QB

 

[BobPSU92]

Open receivers for ohio.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Ohio with a 2nd move the chains on a pass on 3rd down

 

[BobPSU92]

ohio punting.

 

[PSUSignore]

80 yard TD run for Bama. Now 10-3 Bama.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

nearly an INT by a diving Ellis. Ohio will have to punt

Tarps or Play cards/boards?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Ongoing concern: other than from Chop Robinson, PSU is not getting a lot of pressure from their DEs. Most of their pressure has come from blitzing DBs. (Beamon got nice press on 1 play on a loop from the DT position.)

 

[BobPSU92]

Singleton with the home run!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Singleton!!!!!

TD, PSU

 

[PSU87]

Singleton!!!!

 

[PSUSignore]

80 yard TD run for Bama. Now 10-3 Bama.

And Singleton says hold my beer.

 

[ManxomeLion]

#10 may be faster than #24!!

 

[PSU87]

I know it's only Ohio, but that was an impressive run. Showed the burst....some balance...

 

[JoeBot409]

Haven’t seen that in along time
