Official PSU - Villanova game thread

[Erial_Lion]

Barker doesn't have a big leg, but he's really consistent inside of 50.

 

[Ludd]

I was just having the same thought. Defense is gonna have to totally shutdown the Ducks.

Needing to win games with our defense….should put us all back in our comfort zone.

 

[KingLando]

Allar just not accurate enough

That's not the problem--on the third down play Pena didn't come back
Only one pass today was inaccurate and Pena rounded his route on that play drifting upfield.

 

[ZouaveLion]

Is Villanova division II? Singleton rushed 10 times for 35 yds

Remember how fast and explosive he was as a freshman? Good memories

 

[KingLando]

Same. Somethings not clicking for Allar and the OL is not dominant. If Allar tries to force the ball in versus Oregon like he just did versus nova on 3rd it’s an INT. He should’ve flipped the ball out to the rb.

It wasn't a force--it's a WR not coming back to the ball.

 

[Calabrin]

His balance seems to be a constant issue. He falls down all the time.

 

[Ludd]

When he had Brenton Strange blocking downfield for him. Those long runs come from TE and WR blocking, which apparently we’re not getting.

FCS and DII are very different things lol

I’ve seen these types of PSU teams before. Defense gets gassed by fourth quarter, offense can never stay on the field.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Is Villanova division II?

No, they are FCS D1 (what was formerly called 1AA). They are usually one of the better teams at their level, but not that that North Dakota St type level.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

And I guess our kickoff guy can't kick it into the endzone?

I think he can. The PSU radio broadcast indicates that PSu wants him to kick it high and inside the 10, so that PSU has a chance to stop the return short of where it would be brought out if it's a touchback.

 

[Calabrin]

There's Kaytron. Decent run on his first touch.

 

[leinbacker]

Can we just sit Allar for a series, just one.

 

[Calabrin]

Drew is 3-9 on his last 9 attempts? JFC.

 

[CyphaPSU]

Are we in store for yet another season of a first half slow-start offense?

 

[BiochemPSU]

Rucci needs to go.

 

[PSUForever]

Offense has disintegrated. Really disappointing how poor they look.

 

[LMTLION]

Wish we had Beau. Drew is not who we want him to be.

 

[KingLando]

LOL--we honestly have the worst fan base--I can't even imagine what we'd be doing to Klubnik right now

 

[Paws057]

$3 million dollars, I wonder if they can get a refund?

 

[olelion]

Allar is a basket case

 

[NoBareFeet]

Wasn't talking about that throw necessarily. But there have already been four or five others where he's just off the mark. He is what he is at this point. Maybe good enough to win with if the defense and running game are dominant.

 

[KingLando]

Wish we had Beau. Drew is not who we want him to be.

Yeah, let's get Beau who gave up more points today with a pick. Barely completely 60% of his passes in an offense that doesn't require him to read a defense or stretch the field. Yes, he'd be great.

 

[Big_O]

The offense is incredibly bad considering the opponent.

 

[Bones80]

Nick is showing poor vision and zero ability to juke anyone. Runs straight into gap and gets tackled easily.

 

[Arivacalion]

Offense is absolutely horrible. Allar all over the place, no running game, nothing. They look like this next week they lose.

 

[KingLando]

He's fine--we still have receivers unable to create separation. We refuse to run any kind of pick play. We're a very predictable offense right now.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Washington & AJ Harris in at CB

 

[CoolBean]

No, they are FCS D1 (what was formerly called 1AA). They are usually one of the better teams at their level, but not that that North Dakota St type level.

Is PSU like 50 pts favor? Only 40 more to break even

 

[Paws057]

They don’t play next week….

 

[CyphaPSU]

I agree. This offense is playing bad enough to lose to BYE.

 

[Calabrin]

Nick is showing poor vision and zero ability to juke anyone. Runs straight into gap and gets tackled easily.

I've never been impressed with Nick's elusiveness. He's just fast. No power. No agility.

 

[Arivacalion]

They can't block Villanova. Let that sink in.

 

[SleepyLion]

Penn State guaranteed NOT to lose next week.

 

[bwc]

I'm wanting to see more of the 3rd string RB and less of Singleton. I'm not trying to be cruel, but I think his vision and balance are severely lacking.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 6 ... 'Nova with a shuffle pass, and PSU tackles Avit a yard short of the marker. 'Nova will have to punt.

 

[NoBareFeet]

He's fine--we still have receivers unable to create separation. We refuse to run any kind of pick play. We're a very predictable offense right now.

Someday I hope to have as much blind love for anything as you have for Drew Allar

 

[s1uggo72]

Michigan scores 63 today
Nebraska scores 59 today
Next week could be high flying or a 6-4 type of game between the two....

Won’t Bif Poggi be at the helm for UM?

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Yea, no holding there on the edge allowing that pass to get off - no flag LMAO.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Ross with a FC for PSU at their 36.

Time to get the O back on track
