17 players caught passes for PSU. Has that ever happened before?
I'm not saying it cost them the game, but it would have forced Bama to score 6 instead of 3.
Agreed. Some of those were designed to go inside, the one out of the big set in particular, but Singleton just using his speed because...he can.
Tennessee’s about 50 years late on their trip to Pennsylvania!
I hope Pitt does to them what JoePa and PSU would have done to them.

Players of game? Barney for ST. Chop on D. Singleton on O. Agree?
I just got done reading the box score and had to count how many people caught balls. That's incredible.
Disagree. Clifford playing well. Allar getting to learn and playing. Will move in if Clifford gets hurt or falters. Don’t rush him and turn him in to Hackenberg
I have nothing against Clifford, but he's 24 and in his 6th year. They aren't contending for a title with him at QB, they just aren't. Allar's time at PSU is limited - he's a three year player at best. Play him all that you can starting now.
Still disagree. They are contending until they’re not. Stranger things have happened. What sort of message does that send to the team? We can’t compete this year so let’s toss it in so the qb gets some experience for next year!
Except Clifford is probably the third or fourth best QB on the team.
Nonsense. He was BIG co-offensive player of the week last week. PSU doesn’t win that game without him in for the last drive. Today he leads them to a TD going 6/6 on the first drive. He didn’t do anything today that would lead him to lose QB1.
We Are...
- happy to see Tom back coordinating the gameday thread
- happy to get the win
- excited about the young talent
- concerned about field goals
- pleasantly surprised that PSU defensive linemen actually batted down several balls
- considering that Amin Vanover may be an underrated player on the team
This is apparently correct - heard the guys on the BWI podcast say they were told this is how it’s pronounced. I’ve never heard ‘eaux’ pronounced that way but it’s his name so…..

Sunday Column: Freshmen Show Home Crowd They're Ready to Provide More Than Depth
Love was in the air for the Nittany Lions in their home opener against Ohio, in the form of a feathery 32-yard touchdown pass from rookie quarterback Drew Allar to rookie receiver Omari Evans, and it was on the ground, in the form of 179 yards and two big-play tuddies from freshman Nick...

When’s the last time PSU’s DL knocked down a pass…..not once…..not twice…..but three times in a single game? 
Is that your son?Go easy on Ohio's #4 my boyhe may be in for a long day.... Told him to play loose and have fun
Hackenberg's issues were from the coaching change. If BOB stayed things would have been better for Hack since he came to PSU for that offense,
CJF to Lincoln. Because houses cost less.Pretty sure Franklin is staying a while.
I stand by what I say and won't stop now. Hackenberg did not fit what Franklin wanted at QB. He was a pocket passer.
Your answer demonstrates my point. Isn’t Allar a pocket passer? Hackenberg ended up a shell of a QB who developed the yips because he was endlessly hit on almost every throw. O’Brien did not recruit O lineman. They even used a converted DT on the oline. Christian’s first year, they still had a few of Joe’s oline on the team. When Franklin arrived, the oline was decimated. Even Temple sacked him 10 times in one game. By the end, Hack couldn’t even complete a swing pass to the flat. Throw in Allar too early with a still iffy oline and risk a similar outcome. Allar has a lot of upside, but a little patience will make him a much better QB when he eventually takes over. No need to rush him now. If Clifford goes down or plays poorly later in the year, it’s a different story, but for now, the smart play is to allow Allar to develop further and learn from an experienced QB .
I am as close to a father he has…..coached him since he was 8 and paid for HS private school tuition at Gibbons…great kid very soft spoken his sideline “Taunt” after running Clifford out of bounds is truly uncanny for him…he needs to be that way to be competitive though…very fast, runs a true 4.3…better in bump and run coverage than zone schemes. He will be pretty good next year when he gets more confident…perhaps will transfer to FBS school..
