Close…

 

[Ludd]

Well, that was easy.

 

[mcpat]

Geez Knowles. That was horrible.

 

[Phlebitis]

Great start

 

[Paws057]

Apparently the defense didn’t stay at the Holiday Inn Express last night…

 

[AvgUser]

Another fantastic start.
MAke the QB look like a Heisman finalist
Dont bother trying to tackle.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

So much for Coach Smith having them ready to play.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Ugh! Someone tell our Defense the game started at 3:30.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

an inauspicious start by the PSU D.

7-0, Rutgers, with 12:13 left in the 1st qtr.

 

[Knickslions69]

Smith has them ready to play today

 

[PrtLng Lion]

What the F? Just turned the TV, thought it would be a couple min till kickoff. We're down 7-0????

 

[Efejle]

Hire Terry Smith!

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

 

[LMTLION]

Pathetic start. Hope Smith can rally the troops.

 

[pennstatefan111]

They look like they know Terry isn’t going to be the HC

 

[YeOldeCup]

Another sleepwalk to open a game. Missed tackles, open receivers, no pressure on the QB. And this is 5-6 Rutgers...

 

[Ludd]

What the F? Just turned the TV, thought it would be a couple min till kickoff. We're down 7-0????

Playing the Swiss cheese defensive scheme today.

 

[Efejle]

Better check an eye doctor

 

[Big_O]

Have to post via smartphone as I am running game off my iPad to TV since the provider where I'm at does not have the B10 channel.

 

[WVilleLion23]

Did Smith tell them he won’t be the next HC right before they left the locker room?

 

[PSUForever]

What the F? Just turned the TV, thought it would be a couple min till kickoff. We're down 7-0????

Same with me! They must kickoff earlier than CBS and ABC.

 

[Psu00]

Great D there. See this coaching staff doesn’t have the team ready to play from kickoff either.

5 plays, 75 yards and a TD to start the game.

Gave up a 16 yard pass, followed by a 17 yard pass, then a 19 yard pass and finally a 19 yard run. Ugh.

 

[AvgUser]

And…. We are again afraid to throw downfield. Jesus

Edit: maybe i was being faked out

 

[PrtLng Lion]

And the O looks to be firing on all cylinders too.
EDIT: Insert foot in mouth.... huge 4D conversion

 

[LionsAndBears]

Ok that helped.

 

[fastlax16]

And the O looks to be firing on all cylinders too.

I'll take it.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU goes for it on 4th & 2, and ...

TD, Rapp!!!

 

[LionsAndBears]

Still hate throwing twice while only needing 2 yards.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With the PAT, it's 7-7, with 9:46 left in the 1st qtr.

 

[LilWashLion]

Well, that was easy.

I don’t know why we go on defense first.

 

[fastlax16]

glad he didn't lose that ball in the sun

 

[Ludd]

Nice play, but I always get worried when Grunk rolls out to pass.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

We seem to have a never ending cadre of TEs…hope some of them decide to stay.
