Kudos to PSU’s SPECIAL TEAMS…..a very very very good solid performance for an opening game.

Save it, Micah. You weren’t here when we needed you. Just post about the Dallas Cowboys.
Good call. Only flub was Hardy letting that ball go into the endzone on the punt.
Allar & Veilleux should each get a quarter vs Ohio.
Yea, I agree. I really believe they made the correct call with the overturn but I was shocked they didn't call "play stands".
Of course, there were probably a half dozen plays for each team that if made/not made, the outcome would have been different.
Made a great come back, ball was slightly under thrown or we would talking differently
It was clear he didn't have control but i was absolutely shocked it didn't stand. Glad but shocked.
So...
Tinsley...without a doubt...our #1 WR. Treat him like Dotson.
RBs put in a solid game. Upgrade from last year thus far.
I'm hoping Purdue goes 11-1 now. No Buckeyes, no Wolverines. No ND on the OOC slate. They were precisely what they were made out to be. AO'C is laser accurate. Thought we did well to keep him below his usual accuracy. If you told any of us we'd hold him to 50.8% and 1 TD, everyone would have been ecstatic.
Kudos to Charlie Jones too. I didn't expect that from him. He would have been a great add for us.
Game went to the wire. And we won.

Punter kept PSU in the game, great first game.
Agree that the refs were correct to overturn it but just shows how close this game was. I'm really happy we escaped with the win. Certainly lots of room for improvement going forward on both sides of the ball.
Seriously! Fantastic job of dropping dimes and changing field position without any returns.
I kid you not…..I had a treadmill stress echo test yesterday afternoon (both my cardiologist and my PCP were pleased with the results).
Tonight was MUCH MUCH tougher!

Anyone tells me he throws for under 52% (usually 72%) on 60 tosses and I presume we kicked their asses.
I'll take it... we have plenty of talent but some of it needs to learn how to tackle (still). And I highly doubt our DB's get away with the stuff they were doing when we play osu, msu, and michigan.
Good for them though.. they didn't quit, they battled, they are undefeated. Reminds me a lot of last year's opener. Now... can we stay healthy?
Kid impressed me. Kept getting closer and closer... didn't quit. And then at the end... success!
Guys here (at my little get together) asked so I'll ask... arre both Singleton and Washington injured?
The TV viewing was horrible.. did they have the cameras placed a few miles away? I felt like i was in the upper deck half the time... well, we all did lol.

A GREAT game, absolutely a GREAT game.
Although I was nervous, was afraid with his run-and-kick he was gonna put a football up the butt of one of his blockers.
My youth football coach always told us... A win is a win! Good Job Nittany Lions!!
Oh wow! Went to bed with 4+ minutes left and Purdue had the ball. Shocked to see the final score this morning.
Tangentially related to the evaluation of recruiting class thread - Devyn Ford; did he have any touches at all? It's stunning that a high four star RB like him has been relegated to special teams. He was a Top 100 player and the fifth best RB in the country according to 247. I thought Singleton and Allen looked good; Singleton weirdly reminds me of Ki-Jana with the way he leans forward - he needs more carries IMO. Lee got a bit better throughout the game but he's still making bad lane choices. Would help a lot if these guys had some room to work with. Allar looks legit - hope he gets more PT next week.
All said, great game and fun to watch. Always take a road win in the B1G and Purdue was up for this game.

Anyone else get really sick of hearing about charlie sizzle last night?
SIZZLE!!!
Ford caught a third down pass for a first down.
I believe he had a good catch and run to keep a drive alive in the first half.
