Official PSU - Ohio Game Thread

[BobPSU92]

Ohio scores a TD. Time to fire everyone on the PSU coaching staff at halftime!!!! (note sarcasm in the post).....

Why sarcasm?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Singleton returns the KO to the PSU 22.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Defensive pressure seldom seems to get home. Tackling continues to be a challenge.

If I was Ohio I'd continue with the trick plays, incredible how successful they've been.

 

[yboby]

Blitzes don't seem any more effective than last year.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU with a completion to Parker Washington, and he's down after the tackle. After play is stopped for the injury, Washington walks to the sidelines. 2nd & 6 for PSU

 

[WVilleLion]

Hopefully it is ok that I am not outraged by anything.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Cliff throws as he's being tackled, KLS catches it at his shoelaces, and gets the 1st down

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Washington is back in

 

[Tom McAndrew]

KLS with a completion and PSU is into Ohio's territory (their 41)

 

[VaDave4PSU]

Hurts when you call the right defense at the goal line and 3 people have a shot and miss.

2 trick plays. They definitely wanted that drive.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Cliff throws it away on 1st down (nobody was open)

On 2nd down, his past to Wallace is incomplete

3rd & 10 ... and Washington on a crossing pattern, spins out of a tackle, and it's either for a TD or he stepped OOB

It's a TD!!!!

 

[ManxomeLion]

Nice! Respond to Ohio's score with a TD. Not letting teams hang around.

 

[PSUSignore]

Usually press box. And the guys filming

I guess that makes some sense but there are still camera angles that show the cards from the opposite side and it shields the back side of them anyway. I guess coaches are paranoid about everything though.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

The play is under review. With the replays shown on TV, it's really close -- perhaps out at 9 or at the 7, but tough to say

 

[ManxomeLion]

Key word...indisputable

 

[BobPSU92]

That was indisputable?

 

[VaDave4PSU]

Think he's out to be honest...

 

[Tom McAndrew]

On replay, they decide he stepped out at the 7. They move the clock to 20 sec left in the half

 

[BobPSU92]

F*ck you, refs. TD anyway.

 

[PSUSignore]

Wow, tight window there. Great throw from Clifford.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, Tinsley.

Great pass by Cliff between 2 defenders

 

[ManxomeLion]

Damn

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With the PAT, it's 26-7, PSU, with 15 sec left in the half

 

[Tri-Power65]

Tinsley is $$$.

 

[Jim from Spicewood]

Tinsley. Great pass.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

8 play, 78 yard drive, and PSU never used a TO. Nice drive by Cliff and the O

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Deluca is becoming quite the gunner on KOs

 

[PSUSignore]

Clifford looked very sharp with accuracy in the first half, love to see it.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Ohio takes a knee, so that's the half.

26-7, PSU, and they'll get the ball to start the 2nd half

 

[yboby]

Liked that last week Pinegar's extra points were high through the uprights which was not his previous tendency. Thought that was a good sign. Kicks look kind of low again today.

 

[LionInTheSouth]

I know we still have another half but I really really want one of our guys (singleton likely) to break 100 yards rushing.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

CJF in radio broadcast interview says they have to be more consistent. Jokes they may want to go 2-minute offense all the time.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Are the sacks Clifford's fault or the O-Line's fault?

Both!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Liked that last week Pinegar's extra points were high through the uprights which was not his previous tendency. Thought that was a good sign. Kicks look kind of low again today.

good point, and something I noticed.

FWIW, in warmups he made a FG (nobody rushing) from 55 yards, and had the distance but was wide from 60+ yards

 

[Tom_PSU]

The OLine appears to be a little better, but their still having problems with run blocking and pass protection. Other than that things are fine and dandy.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Hopefully, @Midnighter is back from the soccer game, and has some drinks available for purchase for halftime or the 2nd half.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU is 1-5 on 3rd down, while Ohio is 4 of 8, in the 1st half

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Here's Cliff's pass to Tinsley for the TD just before the end of the half

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Here's the safety that PSU got in the 1st half (can't remember if I posted it earlier):

 

[Bones80]

Expect Allar to play second half. Still need to clean up run game, line play, and pass rush.
