Probably our mistakes because we have direct control over that; but honestly, if you remove one or the other completely from this game, I think PSU wins last night. Battling both of those is about as steep of an uphill climb for any team in any game.
And continually leaving the middle of the field wide open. It’s been a characteristic of PSU’s defense for a number of years now. It’s how opponents regularly covert on 3rd and 15+ yards
And that call was totally bunk...Jesus. There were far more agregious things that happened that did not get called than the girly-slapping down the filed that the refs chose to call on the kick-off.
I agree. But I don't dwell on the bad officiating because, as you said, we have no control over that. We certainly need to play with more poise snd discipline. We've hurt ourselves in the games we've lost more than any thing else.
Well, to play Devil’s advocate. They lost to 2 unranked 6 loss teams where they were heavy favorites. Is that taking care of business?
All good. Our boys looked great last nite, no regerts from me
I could not agree more. We needed to be just a little bea little better in playing decisions and win the TO battle. They have a few more studs than we do but a couple of breaks and we win that game. Love the heart of this team.
Then I agree with you. My mistake. I thought you were saying their wins outweighed this bad losses.
I think we can learn a lot from the secondary tapes and make significant improvement in scheme/execution.
That's a good question. At first I thought the idea of an "expedited review" was a good idea. After last night it sure seems like it could lead to unilateral, perhaps arbitrary reversals of calls made on the field, with no review or explanation.
I know every touchdown is reviewed, but I thought every play is reviewed, too, just not to the same degree. But I guess not.
Missed FG too. There wasn't a whole lot that separated us from the #1 team.
I’m not being sarcastic here, so hear me out. Unless we, the PSU alumni/fanbase, voice our concerns, it will be forgotten about quickly. We should flood the B1G offices with e-mails/calls questioning the legitimacy of that crew.
I like how Gene Steratore talked about the fair catch and said his hand didn't go above his shoulder pads, and
Yeah but many of us don’t dwell on it or let it consume us when it comes to Penn State football. Can’t control it anyways.
Don’t be stating facts. You will blow people’s minds. They like to act like JoePa won 20 B1G Championships and 8 National Championships
I’m jaded, attended 82-86. Maybe that’s the problem
It was Devon Still or Jordan Hill. I believe it was Still complaining he was held (mugged) and O'Neill told him to shut up.
Franklin teams are soft and play to “keep it close” against good teams…they are happy with that…and therein lies the problem.
He was in the same recruiting class as George Blanda.
thought it was Michael Haynes when he was being held as if he were Abdul Carter
PSU could not force him off his routes which were primarily inside slants. He is super quick off the line and then has speed after making the catch.
