Official 2023 PSU v. Illinois Game Thread...
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
I think PSU should drop down a division after reading the comments from all the Mary’s here - my god grow a pair we haven't lost anything so far.
Things I’ve learned with the first conference game on the road:
1) Allar is human
2) This team can be too emotional and cost themselves with penalties when pressed
3) We may have found a kicker!!!
Hopefully adjustments will be made at the half.

Hopefully he’ll stay at PSU as long as his brother did!
Best play of the first half. Kept foot in, held on through the fall.
Ok. I’ll play. PSU had two costly dead ball personal foul penalties in the first half. The second wiped out a drive that could have just about put the game away. That comes from a lax culture in the program…coaches set the culture.
They continue to fart around on offense with no real identity. It cost them at least 4 points on their first red zone opportunity. They squandered a 3-1 turnover ratio in that first half…always a key ingredient for getting upset on the road.
Many of us have long accepted this staff for what it is: a recruiting/talent play. They’ll out talent 9-10 teams a year but consistently lose to OSU and Michigan and occasionally get upset by an Illinois or Iowa.
I think Kansas and Toledo had very athletic running QBs which is kryptonite for Illinois. We don’t really have that option that they have to defend.
I don’t think PSU needs to worry about Altmyer running in H2. It looked like he hyperextended his right knee, which should stiffen up during halftime.
I don't think that Allar has been given the whole playbook yet, and since we are winning at the moment that may not happen today either. He's about where you would expect in his third start.
Fashanu getting owned. Not playing like a first rounder let alone a top five pick. This is far from a top 10 team right now.
FSU's QB got knocked ot of the game temporarily (shoulder). Back in now and threw a TD for them to go up 24-10.
There were also several long breaks with commercials that were not TO’s or possession changes - allowed Ill to rest
Well we do have an athletic QB, let’s rotate him in for a series or two and see how IL reacts.
MVP for IL: KLS, his chippy personal foul.
Hopefully he catches a TD pass in the National Champ game to seal the deal.
Dixon showing what happens when you actually look for the ball!!!!!
