I’m guessing Fonzie isn’t barking for Midnighter.

I’m guessing Fonzie isn’t barking for Midnighter.

Fonzie’s ready to fart on Franklin’s fxxk-ups!

 

[ManxomeLion]

I'll be on the road but FWIW I didn't choose this week to stop sniffing glue so we should be OK.

Thanks @Midnighter!

Starting OL announced as: Bryce Effner, Eric Wilson, Juice Scruggs, Anthony Whigan, and Caedan Wallace, which addresses some of the concerns about sickness on the OL.

The biggest surprise so far is that Cliff was announced as the starting QB, but has not been warming up, while Veilleux has been taking warm-ups with the 1s. No word so far on whether Cliff is out.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Sutherland appears to be starting at LB in place of Jacobs

PSU game appears to have gone off the boards at major betting houses. Got wagers in just before it disappeared, on my book.

RU+18 and even a flyer on RU money line look very good right now.

As to the earlier questions about game day weather, it is an absolutely perfect day, for this time of year, in Happy Valley.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Lovett is out today

 

[Midnighter]

Lovett is out today

Any update on Ford?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Semi-update on Cliff: he came out for Senior Day in pads, and is throwing passes in the end zone prior to class picture. Everybody is digging to try to find out whether they've read too much into CV working with the ones, or if Cliff is going to start.

 

[Big_O]

Looks like Clifford may be sick - scheduled to start but was seen getting IV fluids earlier today. Not a good sign.

Vellieux apparently got first string snaps this week in practice.

 

[Tom_PSU]

Any update on Ford?

Yes, they’ve decided to bring back and reintroduce the Edsel as an EV.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Any update on Ford?

nothing that I've seen or heard (sitting in a conference 200 miles from State College)

 

[91Joe95]

Clifford had an IV. Still may play, Villeaux backup.

 

[GregInPitt]

Had some iffy feelings going into some games this season. But today I'm in the camp that believes PSU will come out with some fire and blow out Rutgers on Senior Day.

 

[GregInPitt]

And the call on Wallace was bull ****. Plain and simple. Defender tried to get away and Wallace just pushed forward knocking him onto his a$$.

 

[JoeBot409]

We have seen this quite a bit this season… poor tackling

 

[Big_O]

Penn State offense 4 of 4 passing plays before 4th down.

 

[PhillyBillyReprise]

The Rutgers qb is a zero.

 

[Big_O]

Clifford inaccurate today. Could be a long day on offense.

 

[GregInPitt]

Clifford not looking too good. Both of those receivers were open and he just threw it into the ground.

 

[OUIrPSU]

Healthy or not, Clifford is not a good QB

 

[JoeBot409]

Rutgers is playing tough

 

[Karl_Racki]

The crowd is dead.

 

[GregInPitt]

#37 Hartlaub with another great play on special teams, catching the punt inside the Rutgers 5. Hope he comes back for an extra year and captains special teams.

 

[AvgUser]

This offense is just offensively disgusting to me.
And will somebody please show Clifford how to follow through and throw off his front foot.

 

[blion72]

Clifford not looking too good. Both of those receivers were open and he just threw it into the ground.

Right now he does not look anywhere close to full strength.

 

[Steelrazor]

Healthy or not, Clifford is not a good QB

The first half of the Iowa game seams like 3 seasons ago.

 

[VaLion92]

Right now he does not look anywhere close to full strength.

Which begs the question why he's even playing.

 

[GregInPitt]

Same oline, same result.

Give a couple of young guys a turn!!!!!!!!!!

And this may be a good day to let Veilleux get his feet wet. Clifford hasn't gotten most of his passes near his receivers.....

I'll take a Tony A and then a B and then a C until we hit W or I pass out first.

 

[84lion]

Wasn't Vedral a transfer from Nebraska, or am I misremembering?

 

[FrontierLion]

We're just a really lousy football team this year.

 

[JoeBot409]

Why do we even try to run the ball?
