Offense looked horrible today. I’d be getting Allar as many reps as possible.
Official 2023 PSU v. Illinois Game Thread...
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
2 things in confused about…was Newton the best player on the field today and do we play Ohio State and Michigan this year?? Not sure if the announcers covered that today.
Allar isn't the one dropping the passes. His passes were for the most part, hitting guys right where they needed to be. Receivers need to put extra work on their catches
Theye sold out 100% to stop the run and dared PSU to throw- we didn't take the bait with an inexperienced QB and lead the entire game, wore them out and threw them into the dirt. And you people are crying- toughen up.
He overthrew 3-4 balls I attribute that to him feeling less comfortable in the pocket today than vs WVU
Blaming a coach for everything isn’t analysis…in fact, it’s a sign that you don’t know all that much about the game.
16-33 passing, 208 yards
<4 yards/rush
They have to play well. They won today because Illinois couldn’t stop punching themselves in the face. You don’t have to like analysis, but there’s more going on in a game than the final score.
I think this game will do him a lot of good- tough as it was for him.
Yep. Forget making the playoffs or judging a team on their record. Let’s go with an analysis based on offensive stats and judge a team based on that. Not even Herbstreit and Mushmouf are that dense.
You quote a post that I didn’t type. I am not blaming the coaches for everything. Read my original response.
I cite a lax culture and dumb penalties. Iffy (at best) play calls on offense. And a consistent inability to compete against OSU and UM when they have similar or better talent.
I’m not sure who typed what you quoted but it wasn’t me. I don’t begrudge your analysis skills.
Yup. Pass plays were also generally poorly called. No shots down field. Got the #1 QB recruit in the country, and they didn’t put him in position to do anything. Way too conservative today.
Can our defenders please turn around
To be fair, I think he only badly overthrew one pass. The others were instances where he gave the receivers a chance to make a play, but where the D had no chance to pick it.
Garbage TD by Illinois will cost us the #1 ranking.
As I said: everyone gets to be a fan. You don’t have to know anything about football in order to like it. Some people’s understanding is limited to the scoreboard. That’s just… not me.
The coaching today was poor. I can get deep into it, if you want.
Thought the same until that Beau 1st down. Thought Franklin gave up too soon. And as I'm typing an incompletion. Bit of a gamble. Now a fumble. Way too early to assume victory.
That was such crybaby ********! You put the 2nd stringers in the game, but they should still be allowed to PLAY. The onus is still on the defense to stop them, not for the offense to roll over and be nice.
It’s a win, take it and move on. FSU barely escaped their game. Don’t show up for four quarters, you can get beat by just about anyone.
Get out. Get on the plane. Get home. Regroup. Kick the shite out of Iowa. We Are!
Let’s hate this win for a few hours and then get ready for iowa.
Your observations regarding this staff are spot on. Any thoughts about Pribula as a #2 and successor QB.
I just don’t see it…he’s a less talented version of Trace
