Official 2024 PSU - Bowling Green game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

The 2024 home opener for PSU. It's always good to be back in Beaver.

I need to start this early.

Please use this thread to discuss the PSU - Bowling Green game. As a reminder, please use the quote function when responding to a post. And if possible, please include the game score and time left in which quarter after a team scores.

We Are ...

- hoping that rain is not around during the game
- not a big fan of Bowling Green's head coach
- curious about what adjustments PSU will make between games 1 & 2
- expecting the Blue & White to win the game

... Penn State!!!

Bowling Green is orange why?

Bowling Green’s colors based on a woman’s hat

Back in Beaver…hmm…catchy

And the Drum Major nails the Russian Forward Flip!! A good sign for the season!

I put on my Penn State and will put on the loser (BGSU) hat. My daughter went to BGSU, that is until her entire department left so she transferred and graduated from the devil school, aka duhO$U. BGSU is a somewhat small university and actually was too small for my daughter, having attended every arts festival at PSU since she was an infant until she started at BGSU and was used to a large campus. Her college cost about $150K less than if she had attended PSU, where she was accepted to the UP campus.

Looks like the 12 noon start has its effect again on the team. Slow to the ball and one step behind in every aspect.

 

[Paws057]

Interesting!

TD BG, fire Franklin

 

[CDLionFL]

Gotta credit that QB for those two throws early -- down the middle to the TE that the safety just missed and the back shoulder throw to the 10 on Cam Miller, who had it covered really well. Looks like we might be in for a little bit more of a scrap than we thought.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Better figure out a way to get some pressure on the BG QB. Does Tom Allen have any blitz packages like Manny did?

I live in Delaware and have Comcast. The guide had PSU vs BG on the Big Ten Channel (855) but this channel is showing Rutgers. Where is the PSU game?

Franklin’s just giving them a head start…

Looks like you are getting the regional broadcast.

They have overflow channels, dont have Comcast so cant tell you

 

[LB99]

This is a much more polished, well coached offense than we have seen in awhile. I think they will get even better as the year goes on. Coach K is already paying off.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Allar with the rushing TD. Big first O series

 

[psuro]

have we fired Tom Allen yet?

Where's #13

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

BG is dinking and dunking this defense into frustration. Stupid penalties doesn't help either.

 

[Calabrin]

Bazelak: 7/9, 93 yds

 

[CDLionFL]

Cam Miller showing on these first 2 drives that he's the #3 CB. Why in the world did Harris not start? He was out there on the 3rd & 1 play but him and Kimber should be the two starters.

Meanwhile, I think I'd have gone for it if I were BG. We haven't really stopped them yet and how many more times are you gonna have the chance to punch one in?

 

[Big_O]

Looks like Penn State players took BGSU lightly.

 

[Calabrin]

I fully expected that BG would not be able to stop our offense.

what I did not expect was BG to easily carve up our defense.

Yup. Definitely should have gone on 4th and 1. No guts.

 

[Big_O]

Penn State playing like she-it.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Penalties and dropped pass doomed that series.

 

[CoolBean]

seriously, defense sucks

 

[BobPSU92]

For f*ck’s sake.

 

[psu0408]

Bazelak on pace for over 400 yards.

 

[CDLionFL]

Defense sleepwalked through that 1st quarter.

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

our soft coverage is making BG's QB look like Joe Montana.... not getting any type of pressure on him from our front four at all.

 

[Alphalion75]

Not sure why we are celebrating an incomplete pass.

 

[CDLionFL]

Not sure why we are celebrating an incomplete pass.

To be fair, they were rare in that quarter.

 

[Big_O]

Looks like Penn State too busy reading their press clippings to practice.
