Official PSU - Villanova game thread

[Paws057]

I have to agree, morelli territory if this continues.

Oh there’s a name from the past….

 

[KingLando]

I've been withholding criticism of Allar but he's not looking any better than last year. He's slightly better than Hack, but that's not saying much.

Slightly better than Hack...lmao

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Reynolds with the 1st down, and gets a tough tackle, which causes a flag for targeting.

15-yard penalty

0:48 left in the half

The play is under review.

After review, they are picking up the flag.

3rd & 1, with 0:53 left (clock was adjusted), at the 'Nova 49

Katryton Allen runs for the 1st

 

[Bid D from Philly]

This is a 4 to 5 loss team. Franklin’s offense is just not good.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Clifford with a catch and gets OOB with 0:41 left, at the 'Nova 34

I think he’s regressed, actually

 

[JoePaMajorCFBrecord409Ws]

Now that was a nice pass.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Hudson with a catch and OOB inside the 25. 0:36 left in the half

Allar with a beautiful pass to Pena for a TD

70-yard drive for the TD!

 

[Nitt1300]

That was a lot better

 

[KingLando]

I'm sure Allar sucked on that NFL throw as well

 

[BobPSU92]

Pribula back at PSU? Great throws on that drive.

 

[Calabrin]

Nice TD pass there. What is known in pro wrestling as a "hope spot". You see these flashes of brilliance that make you think, "Maybe...!"

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU goes for 2 ...

pass to Pena, and he runs it in

21-0, PSU, with 0:32 left

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Seems Allar is good for the first two minutes of a half and the last two minutes of the half. Who can we get to play the time in between?

 

[CoolBean]

Well, this is progressing, 10 pts last week 21 this week at the half...against DII team

 

[olelion]

He's slinging it now

 

[Ludd]

This is a 4 to 5 loss team. Franklin’s offense is just not good.

Let’s revisit this post.

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

Great throw by Allar!

 

[PSUForever]

Perfect pass by Allar. Need him to be much, much, much more consistent.

 

[KingLando]

Seems Allar is good for the first two minutes of a half and the last two minutes of the half. Who can we get to play the time in between?

Better play calling would help

 

[Ludd]

That was a great throw.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Helferich is a good color commenter and seems to know proper QB throwing technique.

 

[Nitt1300]

He's slinging it now

the inconsistency is maddening

 

[leinbacker]

what is Villanova's NIL payroll compared to PSU's?

 

[LMTLION]

Great pass, now let’s see if he can continue to just let it rip in the second half. Stop living in his head.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

 

[Ludd]

Seems Allar is good for the first two minutes of a half and the last two minutes of the half. Who can we get to play the time in between?

We need to run every series as a two minute drill.

 

[Knickslions69]

Allar throws another 5-yard pass to the sideline... off target.

Allar said stick this up your arse.

 

[KingLando]

That was a great throw.

Which many of throws.
People aren't looking for consistency from him. They want perfection. Not saying you

 

[CoolBean]

 

[Ludd]

Helferich is a good color commenter and seems to know proper QB throwing technique.

Allar throws a pass to Allen that hits him in both hands and he drops it and the announcer said the throw was off…yeah, he’s brilliant.

 

[KingLando]

Great pass, now let’s see if he can continue to just let it rip in the second half. Stop living in his head.

Maybe if you and other would stop overanalyzing everything it would be fine but...

 

[Ludd]

No doubt about that. Even ones that hit the receivers in the hands, if the receiver drops it, it’s Allar’s fault.

[Erial_Lion]

1st half stats
Yards: 253-69
First Downs: 16-4

Definitely stuff to clean up...but while running a vanilla offense, this is the performance that convinces some that we'll lose 4-5 games against a pretty soft schedule?

 

[SkiSkiSki]

We should just leave the defense on the field.

Just like 1986. Couldn't wait for the defense to get back on the field!

 

[LMTLION]

Maybe if you and other would stop overanalyzing everything it would be fine but...

He spent much of the first half struggling against nova. He has zero consistency this season and has seemingly taking a step back. Let’s see if he can leverage this drive into a spectacular second half to spring board the offense for the rest of the season.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Allar throws a pass to Allen that hits him in both hands and he drops it and the announcer said the throw was off…yeah, he’s brilliant.

It was way inside…an atrocious throw.

 

[Calabrin]

Perfect pass by Allar. Need him to be much, much, much more consistent.

That's what's so frustrating. We know he's capable of making ridiculous plays like that.

 

[Calabrin]

Allar said stick this up your arse.

He's 12-21 against Villanova. Perspective matters.
