Official ‘24 PSU - Minnesota game thread

[WVilleLion23]

Fire Franklin!

Fire Tom Allen!!

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Off to our typical fast start

 

[psuno1]

Same old garbage just a different year.

 

[Psu00]

With everything on the line, this team is still not ready to play. If they don’t wake up they’ll be joining Mississippi watching the playoff on tv.

 

[Lavar5150]

Our first possession is so scared every game. AK needs to ignore Franklin and quit wasting every first possession

 

[EricStratton-RushChairman]

 

[Nits74]

We are flat. Not good. Not good at all.

You wouldn't think that with everything that is at stake.

 

[Calabrin]

Omfg

 

[Lavar5150]

Can you not challenge the spot? Also, why didn’t Warren pitch it? RB was going to run forever.

Enough of the Warren bs unless goal line

Problem is, AK can't cure the issues of horrible tackling and not watching where the ball carrier is running, That's on Tom Allen and co...

 

[Paws057]

Not very impressive so far

 

[PSU87]

This is the team that had 35 yards rushing against Rutgres

 

[Calabrin]

Minnesota playing fearlessly, aggressively.

Exact opposite of Penn State's approach to playing a tough opponent.

Well they’ve got more than that already

 

[Nitt1300]

what a bunch of Nancies

 

[Calabrin]

I like that throwback screen.

 

[Calabrin]

Hmmm. Wondering if Drew is 100%.

There was speculation that he got a bit banged up late in the Purdue game.

 

[Paws057]

Looks like the punter is going to get some practice today

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Time to stop with all of the cute plays on third down. Teams had seen them multiple times and are ready for them

 

[psu0408]

Losing in the trenches

 

[Calabrin]

This play calling sucks. All this shifting accomplishes nothing. No one is fooled by any of this.

 

[Lavar5150]

Offense is stale as ****

 

[Wlawnlion]

Lineman better wake up

 

[BobPSU92]

Can’t convert 3rd and 2. It looks like this is going to be a long day.

 

[Psu00]

Minnesota tackling has been very good so far and they’re playing with fire. So frustrating that PSU can’t do the same.

 

[Lavar5150]

Hmmm. Wondering if Drew is 100%.

There was speculation that he got a bit banged up late in the Purdue game.

Stop

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Why in the actual f—k does this team come out so slow every game? I am stunned. I just don’t get it.

 

[WestSideLion]

Big Game James came to play today. Look no further for why Penn State hasn’t lost fewer than 2 since 2005.

 

[LB99]

This is the team that had 35 yards rushing against Rutgres

193 vs USC.

 

[Paws057]

Can’t convert 3rd and 2. It looks like this is going to be a long day.

Let’s hope not

 

[Lavar5150]

Hi I’m James Franklin

They didn’t come out slow the last 2 weeks.

 

[psuno1]

Minnesota playing fearlessly, aggressively.

Exact opposite of Penn State's approach to playing a tough opponent.

Such a soft team

 

[JWB389]

Not looking like a team that wants a playoff game.

 

[Calabrin]

AK's weakness as a schemer is on full display. He flourishes his hands a million times, but then is unable to produce a rabbit from the hat.

 

[Shadow99]

Losing in the trenches

Many diagnoses in the thread, but THIS is the true difference to this point thus far imho .

 

[Paws057]

Hey we got a stop! It’s a plus!

 

[Calabrin]

Be interesting to see if they stop all this pre-snap shifting on this drive...

 

[LionsAndBears]

Why was Clifford back to receive the punt??

 

[PrtLng Lion]

They didn’t come out slow the last 2 weeks.

Sorry, I meant against teams with a pulse
