My quick unfiltered thoughts:

[olelion]

• It’s a win but who are they?
• Allar had plenty of time
• Yeah for the new kicker
• Defense overall was fairly sold and stepped up when it had to
• I was not a believer in Clifford, until now. HE IS THE GO-TO GUY
• Losing Donkoh early in the game was not good. He’ll be needed against USC
• Singleton was missed. I hope he’s back at full strength soon
• 43 on defense continues to be a liability.
• I’m not sold on Drew Shelton
• These slow starts against everyone (Both O and D)are now a problem that has to be addressed and I surely hope it will
• The team I watched today will struggle at USC

 

[Nothing Special]

Trap game
Not much buzz going in, could have just been me
Adjusted well
Allen is a beast between the tackles, not sure I'd run a delayed pitchout to him
Liam Clifford took a step
Love the offensive creativity - still think the playcalling can get too cute from time to time
DeJuan Lane great hustle to save a TD
DeJuan Lane real confused on the touchdown pass
Tamere Robinson looked like he was thinking instead of playing
UCLA touchdown was against a lot of reserves - good for them to get the reps and tape
Don't mean this to be as negative as it may sound. PSU seemed in control from the start.

*I agree. The slow starts need to be rectified
*Singleton was missed
*The OL needs to be healthy to finish the season or they will struggle.
*The defense plays too soft at times, specifically on 3rd and long
*The DBs play too far off the WRs.
*Traffic flow getting into lots 12 & 13 from Atherton was abysmal. There has to be better way.
*If you are one of the fans renting the seat backs to attach onto the bleacher seats, take notice to how much you intrude on the leg room of the people sitting behind you. Be courteous, everyone paid good money for the experience, not just you.
* The WiFi in the stadium still sucks. No correct that, WiFi is nonexistent.
* It was a beautiful October day in Happy Valley. Great day tailgating with friends.

We won!
We are 5-0!

I agree they have to fix the slow starts. And we give up too many 3rd and longs. That said, USC looked very beatable tonight against Minnesota.

On a very positive note, the defensive offside penalties were cleaned up!!!

 

[Marshall2323]

WE need to be more like Alabama and Tennessee....

 

[BobPSU92]

How far do we fall in the polls after yesterday’s win?

How far do we fall in the polls after yesterday’s win?

Our fans don't get a vote, so not too far.

WE need to be more like Alabama and Tennessee....

Yeah, but both will probably be ranked higher than us.

 

[WEP6-12]

Yeah, but both will probably be ranked higher than us.

Except they both lost so let’s not be like them.

 

[OuiRPSU]

Except Tennessee lost to Arkansas

Right. I’m saying SEC teams with one loss will be ranked higher than us.

I know it really doesn’t matter right now, but it does matter later because the preseason and early-season polls do have an impact on where teams end up at the end.

We don’t deserve to be ranked. We’re just lucky to have a team.

With losses to Vanderbilt and Arkansas? I don’t think so. We will find out soon.

 

[Marshall2323]

Yeah, but both will probably be ranked higher than us.

I'm not concerned with rankings per se at this point. After 5 games IMO, PSU has proven worthy to be in the playoff conversation. I have not seen evidence that they should be in the national championship conversation. As someone who has enjoyed PSU football for more than 60 years, I'd love to see that evidence.
I'm going to enjoy another good season either way.

Corrected my error above.

They lost to u ranked teams. Granted Bama has a win vs UGA but they lost to Vandy. That has to count for something.
