Official ‘24 PSU - Minnesota game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

wtf, the PAT iss blocked, and returned by Minny for 2, so it's 19-16, Minny, with 0:19 sec left in the 1st half

 

[Paws057]

Just pathetic

 

[Nitt1300]

Drew, calm down. You tied the game against a team that's 6-4 on the season.

find a team to root FOR

 

[Alphabets]

I'm embarrassed for us.

 

[Big_O]

Just a stunning performance by the special teams.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Special Teams coach (doosh Franklin hired from Vandy) has to go.

 

[Nits74]

What the f#ck else can go wrong.

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

With Minny getting the ball at the 2nd half, that could be a nine point swing for not paying attention on the extra point. They still need to get their head in it on every play!!

 

[CoolBean]

LOL

 

[JWB389]

Special teams is below average.

 

[LB99]

So, I know #0 didn’t block the kick, but isn’t it now a penalty if you hurdle the OL?

 

[WestSideLion]

Big Game James. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory since 2013.

 

[Paws057]

Just Amazing

 

[CyphaPSU]

This game has felt like such a massive struggle. For every yard gained and every point scored it has felt like one step forward and one and a half steps back. They will need something a little extra in the second half than what they showed even at USC. It just has that feeling of a real grind to get anything accomplished.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

19-16, Minny, at the half.

Minny will get the ball to start the 2nd half

SLOPPY, SLOPPY PLAY. Take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves.

 

[Calabrin]

Keystone Kops.

What makes it more embarrassing is that the TD was totally unearned. Completely dependent upon a phantom pass interference call.

 

[Calabrin]

Special teams is below average.

Yup. Has been forever.

It's like a basketball coach that says free throws don't matter.

 

[SouthHalls410]

And yet we celebrate after each tackle or catch. Celebrate. SMH Do we have any vocal leaders on this team? Their body language speaks volumes. This game scared me all season.

 

[Lavar5150]

Typical Franklin

 

[Lionville]

Saw that too and thought it was a penalty.

 

[cac@PSU]

Playoff hopes are fading. Need maximum effort in second half.

 

[psu0408]

Glass half full. Minny had an ideal first half, PSU played poorly, and it’s a 3 point game at half.

I personally don't believe PSU deserves a playoff slot. There are other 2 loss teams that are better.

Gee, that’s never happened TO Penn State.

This.

 

[Paws057]

Looks like I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue…

 

[Connorpozlee]

5 carries by a running back in the first half.

This game always makes me nervous

 

[CyphaPSU]

We do seem to have a penchant for scoring less points than the opponent at halftime.

 

[Lavar5150]

Hopefully they see the tempo quick pass game is the move rest of way. Loosen things up to hit runs

 

[ILLINOISLION]

EVERY game makes me nervous!

F$ck that glass.

 

[troutrus]

Minny much more competitive than I had figured. Should make for a fun to watch second half.

That call was a good sign for the 2nd Half. The B1G smells playoff $$$$$$$$$$$ and needs PSU to win provided we don't beat ourselves.

Without that call PSU is down 7 at half.

The first two possessions in H2 will be very important.

 

[BostonNit]

Saw that too and thought it was a penalty.

Wasn't the rule changed for 2017 after the blocked FG against OSU helped us win in 2016?

 

[s1uggo72]

I believe you can hurdle them provided you do it clean in the you don’t step on them or use leverage. You can’t use your own teammate either.

PSU is lucky to only be down by 3. Let's see if they can pull it out in the second half.
