Official PSU - Oregon '25 Game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

1st down: incomplete
2nd down: 24 sec left, 2nd & 20 -- quick throws, and nice tackle by Collins in bounds
3rd down: 3rd & 13, 0:09 left, Oregon calls TO -- dump off pass, and the WR doesn't get OOB, so the half is over

3-3, at the half

 

[KingLando]

Allar isn’t playing well at all. Let’s hope the D can continue bending but not breaking.

The LOS play is still slanted heavily in Oregon’s favor. You have to give Lanning credit, they lost 9 starters to the NFL and look like the better team vs a veteran-laden squad.

What do you want him to do? We have no run game and players are rarely open--when they are he's under immediate pressure.

 

[KingLando]

Elite QBs raise the level of play of everyone around them.

It's his job to make the backs better--interesting--proving my point.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Was there any PSU offensive play where PSU's OL dominated UO's DL?

 

[Moogy]

Hopefully no one took the over.

 

[SleepyLion]

The one that should have been caught and Reynolds tapped his chest on
That was thrown to that spot as Allar had to throw around the DL's extended arm
That one?

The ball was thrown to the right of the OL's arm and behind the TE that was running to the right. Could have thrown the ball further right, leading the TE and avoid the OL's arm more.

 

[LB99]

pass goes right though the hands of Reynolds. smh

ball was a tad behind him, but Reynold has to catch that

That was a bad pass. No reason to throw to the back shoulder there.

 

[WestSideLion]

What do you want him to do? We have no run game and players are rarely open--when they are he's under immediate pressure.

He’s missed several throws with time. They weren’t all easy, but a high NFL draft pick should be able to make many of those.

PSU’s offense is clearly overmatched in this game so far. We are seeing what a top-tier program does in terms of talent. Oregon is young, but you are so much more talented.

 

[Calabrin]

-poor offensive play calls
-constant pressure on Drew
-every throw of his back foot and off-target
-zero running lanes

This was a team that was expected to compete.

They have 69 yards of total offense at the half.

Also, the defense is bringing zero pressure on Moore. He has all day to throw.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

15 is playing good:
50% completion
45 yards
NO turnovers
3 for 8 3rd down %
not too shabby

I miss John Donovan... lol

I miss Jay.

He wasn't throwing to the back shoulder. He's just inaccurate on those crossers.

 

[Bwifan]

This offensive scheme is offensive... Coaches have had several years now to look at AK and his schemes. They know how to defend him now

 

[DaytonRickster]

What an offensive mess.

Allen and Sinleton have 10 carries for 18 yards but the expected people seem to think Drew's the problem not the scheme

The OL is getting pushed back. They need to man up. Terrible first half by entire OL and the play calling is not helping anyone.

 

[LB99]

BS. Bad throw.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

I'm not a huge Allar fan, but the poor kid doesn't have enough time. Trautwein's OL is getting blown up

 

[Bid D from Philly]

Play calling is to generic. This scheme is bad.

 

[Paws057]

I could have sworn they said our O line was going to be the best in the country? Interesting….

 

[KingLando]

The ball was thrown to the right of the OL's arm and behind the TE that was running to the right. Could have thrown the ball further right, leading the TE and avoid the OL's arm more.

Are you kidding me? When the arm is up it alters the throwing lane and the QB has to adapt in a split second. He put the ball where it could be caught. It wasn't perfect not does it need to be.

 

[FTLPSU]

The oline isn’t running blocking well at all. Allar has limited time in pocket and no receivers are getting open..not really about the play calling at this point, yes some questionable play calls but hard when you can block up front

 

[CoolBean]

We need the 2024 Allar in the 2nd half, please

 

[KingLando]

That was a bad pass. No reason to throw to the back shoulder there.

He wasn't throwing back shoulder. He pass wasn't perfect but needed to He caught. Reynolds tapped his chest. He knows.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

The ball was thrown to the right of the OL's arm and behind the TE that was running to the right. Could have thrown the ball further right, leading the TE and avoid the OL's arm more.

I believe Allar threw left b/c he saw the DL man's arm come up.

 

[Erial_Lion]

My God, if you read this thread without watching the game, you’d assume we’re down 3+ touchdowns.

I’ll take the tie game getting the ball coming out to start the second half. Really think a turnover could be what decides this one.

What throws? You're just making things up. Did you watch LSU today? Elite QBs without protection or good receivers won't be elite.

More likely Oregon will start to pull away end of 3Q.

 

[AvgUser]

big game James and lame game Drew playing as expected.

PSU is so far overmatched.

We‘ll find out soon enough…

BS. Bad throw.

It wasn't. It was catchable. Again you want him to be perfect.

Problem is our defense is going to wear out ... Offense can't do anything. They run for 300 yards last year and have what a total of 50 yards in offense this year

He has been very average at best this year. Is it because PSU still has no receiving corps to stretch the field or K is setting up poor game plans? A mix of both?

He’s no genius.

 

[jmorovich]

Then the OC needs to help him out and run some quick slants, outs, something. These long developing pass routes aren’t working. Coach K’s shine is fading very very fast.

 

[KingLando]

I believe Allar threw left b/c he saw the DL man's arm come up.

Correct because he had to throw around it changing his lane which will always create a less than perfect throw.

 

[LB99]

No. Just good.

 

[Knickslions69]

Oline played as bad a half as they have in years. Can’t run block can’t pass block. However it’s 3-3

 

[BiochemPSU]

Need a QB who can just run around and throw it. Franklin and Co. can’t put together a complete offense with any consistency.
