Official PSU - tOSU '25 game thread

[Calabrin]

Granted, they just converted on 3rd and 10...

But they actually have a drive going, and Kotelnicki calls back to back gimmick plays that go for 0 yards. JFC, this guy.

 

[KingLando]

Patricia only rushing 3 is crazy there

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Singleton on a scamper takes it to 1st & goal, at the 9

 

[WaffleShopper]

Grunk haters will pile on for every single incompletion. He’ll have struggles but I think he has promise.

He's better than Beau

 

[Calabrin]

lol. That Dr Pepper ad sure did seem like a deliberate shot at Shedeur Sanders.

He’s doing fine. Just his second start and he’s not exactly playing cupcakes either

 

[Wewantthelion]

Who cares Beau is not here anymore

They pile on anyone who doesn't achieve the perfection they demand. It's bizarre.

Thought you weren't allowed to hit a throwing qb at or below the knee? OSU got away with one.

 

[Calabrin]

"...stopped the Nittany Lions 4 times from inside the 3 yard line."

People on this board with a straight face: "I can't believe they fired Franklin!"

 

[KingLando]

Who cares Beau is not here anymore

Thank God

 

[Paws057]

Nice run Nick!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

1st down: run for 1 yard to the 8
2nd down: run by Singleton up the middle to the 3
3rd down: TD, Singleton!!!!

 

[Wewantthelion]

Yes baby !!!

 

[PSUcup]

Alright. Showing some fight here

 

[KingLando]

You think Ohio State would be ready for that sweep by now
Nice drive

 

[Tom McAndrew]

With the PAT, it's 10-7, tOSU, with 6:18 left in the 2nd qtr.

15 play, 75-yard drive by PSU, which took 7:50

I believe PSU converted on 3 3rd-down situations during the drive

 

[G3624]

10-7 works for me.

 

[Wewantthelion]

Singleton well rested this year finally shows up !

 

[Midnighter]

 

[SouthHalls410]

Ok I apologize for my grumpiness earlier. That was a nice drive.

 

[LMTLION]

Terry Smith for head coach? Proud of the team right now.

 

[PSUForever]

This defense has to show they have some kind of pulse to think we have any life.

 

[WaffleShopper]

Guess we finally decided to let our backup QB try to win the game. Good play calling that drive and good job getting Nick the ball in space.

 

[Ludd]

Have to use Singleton more this game…his speed can match up with OSU’s.

 

[IrishHerb]

Your guys did something nobody else had done vs OSU this year ... scored a TD against them in the first half.

 

[yboby]

Why PSU didn't go for it on 4th down in OSU territory is beyond me ... What do you have to lose at this point. They punt and OSU marches right down the field for 7

Exactly. No point trying to pin OSU deep the way they so easily move the ball. Starting on the 15 or the 40 doesn't really matter for them.

Perhaps Smith thought the defense would be able to do something today. Now he knows.

 

[Calabrin]

Grunk actually 6-8 right now. They need to let him keep throwing the ball. You gotta let the kid build confidence.

 

[MtNittany]

#11 looked like #25 back in 1982 on that toss/TD. Made it look like a formality.

 

[Moogy]

This is how you win football games. POWER. Running the ball AT WILL. Something Franklin never embraced with his pass first, run second football philosophy. Wow, how he ruined the historic structure and DNA of Penn State Football. Our slow weak under performing Offensive line is like watching high school football. So very very sad.

Exactly. Well, except for the fact that Franklin was run first, which is why we have such a prolific RB tandem, and OSU has been pass first and that’s why they’re winning.

Other than being completely wrong, you nailed it.

We scored more points than I thought we could but our issue is Knowles and the lousy defense. Ohio State will turn it on here. Sayin is good but of course we make him look like Mahomes.

 

[WaffleShopper]

Yup let him sling it. He’s going to fail at times you have to let him learn and get better. Something Franklin didn’t do for Drew.

 

[s1uggo72]

Do you go inside kick here and now ?

 

[Paws057]

I can almost see Terry Smith doing that Cheetos commercial!

 

[Ludd]

Somebody should have told Joe Burrow and LSU they didn’t run enough.

 

[Wewantthelion]

I just hope this doesn’t make Ohio St throw the ball again

 

[Mile High Lion]

Do you go inside kick here and now ?

no

 

[Mile High Lion]

Need a turnover

 

[Ludd]

Need a turnover

We don’t get many of those.
