Official '24 PSU - Wisconsin game thread
- Thread starter Tom McAndrew
- Start date
We are lucky, that wasn't a hold
Bushwood had it as a hold I’m sure. We’ll take it, lol.
3rd & 2, Wisky RB is stopped short by King, but the RB keeps driving and the OL pushes, and Wisky gets the 1st down
Heard this about Luke Fickell this week - was an absolute monster wrestler in HS (many said best ever in Ohio):
—-
Fickell was unbeaten as a three-time state champ at Columbus DeSales (1990-92). He was 36-0 as a sophomore at 189 pounds. A heavyweight a year later, he went 31-0 with 29 pins. He pinned four of five opponents at state, in times of 1:35, 42 seconds, 1:26 and 54 seconds in the final. The only opponent he didn't pin -- John Stepic of Wickliffe -- he beat, 10-0, in the semifinals.
As a senior, Fickell was untouchable. At 6-4 and 235 pounds, he pinned most of his 39 opponents. A handful of wrestlers were so afraid of him they forfeited matches.

3rd & 7, Wisky tries a screen, and PSU's LBers stop him 2 yards short. Wisky has to punt. It's downed at the PSU 8.
Feels like the decision to focus on football worked out for him! But he sounds like an all-time athlete.
Gift one went to Wisky when they spotted Allen short ultimately leading to turnover on downs.
The hold on the kick was by 45 who was just to the right of the guy they called it on.
PSU is the surprising recipient of some first half calls (although I repeatedly see Wisky's LT hold at will). Need to get more points and take the official out of the 2nd half.
PSU gets a 1st down, then is stopped short of the sticks on 3rd down, and has to punt.
Wisky returns to their 36-37

Where were the blockers on that 3rd and 4 screen pass? There must have been 6 red shirts on Allen and no white in sight.
Kick coverage has been a little shaky so far. Got lucky with the holding penalty on the last kickoff.
Officials got it wrong on the report. They showed a shot of Fickell asking the linesman and the linesman put up a 3 and a 5 but on the replay, it was 38 that got blown up and accused of holding so naturally, McAulay looks in the wrong place. 45 was the right guy and the right call.
it wasn't a screen. Allen stayed in to block, then drifted out to the short side as a drop-off option. Wisky was in zone coverage, and Allar didn't like what he saw. He dropped it off to Allen, and he had 1 tackler to beat, but not a lot of room to work as he was on the short side, and the tackler locked on to him, and then other defenders joined in.
Wisky has to punt the ball.
Tracy lets it go over his head, and it's a touch-back.
PSU starts on their own 20, which is their best starting position tonight

Wisconsin is clearly overhyped during this 3-game win streak. They played three weak opponents and everyone was like, "They're hitting their stride!"
No. They're playing conference doormats.
This QB is atrocious. No way you can win with this level of QB play.

PSU got hosed on a second down run by Allen. Looked like he had the first. They spotted it short and PSU turned it over on downs two plays later.
But PSU is letting them hang around. Need to stick a TD on them.
