Official ‘24 PSU - Minnesota game thread

[Calabrin]

Brosmer has way more poise than Allar.

 

[Paws057]

this is why we needed 7 not 3 the last series

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & goal from the 8 for Minny

 

[LB99]

Carter is dangerously close to lining up offsides on every play.

 

[Paws057]

Now a nice long drive to finish the game off

 

[Tom McAndrew]

incomplete in the endzone for Minny.

Minny to attempt a 26-yard FG.

It's good, so it's 26-25, PSU, with 5:48 left in the game

 

[LB99]

Brosmer has way more poise than Allar.

And 2 turnovers.

 

[BiochemPSU]

Offense needs to score 7 here. Defense looking gassed.

 

[Calabrin]

Knowing Franklin, he will try to run the clock out instead of putting his foot on the gas.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Penn State's playoff hopes come down to Andy K and Allar executing a drive. It's evident that PSU's defense is undermanned vs Minny.

 

[Calabrin]

Offense needs to score 7 here. Defense looking gassed.

TOP:

PSU - 20:01
MN - 34:11

Yup.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Minny with a squib kick on the KO, but it goes into the endzone for a touchback.

PSU takes over at their 25

 

[CDLionFL]

Offensive line came up extra small on that drive.

 

[Calabrin]

Dude, he is so slow. Allen cannot run away from anyone.

 

[Paws057]

Nice call!

 

[BiochemPSU]

Balls call

 

[Nitt1300]

ballsy call

 

[Calabrin]

GUTS

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Singleton gets 6 on 1st down

Allen gets tackled for a loss on 2nd down

3rd & 9: Allar has to scramble, and he is one yard short of the sticks.

PSU will punt. That 2nd down play was a killer.

Wow, PSU with a fake punt, and Luke Reynolds rumbles into Minny's territory. Great Play !!!

 

[LB99]

Special Teams coach just said “ HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?”

 

[CDLionFL]

Remember when PSU tried the fake punt against Kentucky in the Citrus Bowl and it got sniffed out because there was a skill player mysteriously placed in the protection area? Earlier in the game, I thought that was the first time I've seen Reynolds on the protection line and was thinking, hmmmm, at least if they want to run a fake, it doesn't look as conspicuous. Well, looky there.

NOW FINISH

 

[SleepyLion]

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Minny calls TO with 2:17 left in the game, after Allar scrambles, and PSU has a 3rd & 2 at the Minny 25

 

[Calabrin]

When you see Allar scrambling this much, this is when they should bring Pribula into the game.

 

[CDLionFL]

I'd go for this. I don't quite trust the FG situation. Last one was close to a block.

 

[Paws057]

Got it!

 

[Nitt1300]

good call to go for it

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

He makes this 4th and one, barring a fumble, this game is over

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Warren at QB, and he's tackled short of the sticks. Hmm, 4th & 1

Minny calls another TO.

Appears PSU will go for it ...

and Allar with a sneak for the 1st down!!!

PSU with a hurry-up on the play, after breaking the huddle, and may have caught Minny's D a tad flat

 

[LB99]

I'd go for this. I don't quite trust the FG situation. Last one was close to a block.

Agree. Barker has been a revelation, but I still get nervous on every attempt.

 

[Grass]

That slow crap with Warren needs to go. Take the damn snap and run full steam ahead for crying out loud.

 

[psu31trap]

Love the play calling. Great calls all game.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

After picking up the 1st on the 4th & 1 play, there is a TO on the field as we have reached the 2:00 minute warning. I believe Minny has 1 TO left

 

[Nitt1300]

He makes this 4th and one, barring a fumble, this game is over

I'd rather be us than them- I hope you're right

 

[Nittering Nabob]

When you see Allar scrambling this much, this is when they should bring Pribula into the game.

Minny figured out Pribula. They nailed him the last time he was in.

 

[Midnighter]

What kind of bitters did you use?

Always Angostura (regular).

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Minny may elect to allow PSU to score. If they try that on D, I hope PSU is smart enough to take a slide before getting to the endzone

 

[Paws057]

Last timeout

 

[Calabrin]

Ugh. This game has been way too much of a struggle. Total mental and emotional exhaustion against a 6-4 opponent.

Another ultra conservative game plan against an opponent that came in fired up and ready to play.

 

[Calabrin]

Minny figured out Pribula. They nailed him the last time he was in.

He doesn't get enough of a chance, IMO.
