Official '24 PSU - Wisconsin game thread

[WestSideLion]

And here we go. Crap.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

damn, Wisky with a reception down to the PSU 3 or 4.

DDS is down on the field

 

[Psu00]

Really poor tackling again. Should have been a loss but ends up as a first down.

The D is again allowing the other team to drive down the field. About to give up the lead right before half.

 

[CDLionFL]

Defenders at every level are just not smart enough to play zone defenses anymore. And if we don't get a pass rush going, this low-level QB is gonna have whatever he wants.

 

[Calabrin]

A lot of you are bringing up issues that I see with Tom Allen's defensive coaching.

There's no pass rush, and they're playing soft zone on WRs, allowing them to catch-and-run. Drives me nuts.

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

PSU d plays like they already went into the locker room. Now is not the time to give up a cheap TD seconds before the half....

 

[CoolBean]

Defense can't get to the QB, he has all day to throw

 

[WestSideLion]

Neither side of the ball is particularly sharp or well prepared.

 

[CDLionFL]

In scores of other games...

Juan Soto 2-out solo HR to right. Game tied at 1, top 3.

 

[Calabrin]

Alright guys... there was a big hint right there: this QB is easily intimidated when guys get in his face.

See if you can figure it out.

 

[Paws057]

Stupid penalty

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & goal from the 2, incomplete, but PSU has 12 guys on the field

illegal substitution called

3rd & goal from the 1, and Wisky in the I, and Walker runs it in for the TD, with 1:23 left in the half

 

[WestSideLion]

Like clockwork. Costly penalty leads to a Wisky TD.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

We are lucky we don’t have Indy or Oregon on our schedule!

 

[CDLionFL]

Where have we seen this before? Coming off of a bye week, another irregular, slow start. It's uncanny how it constantly happens.

 

[LB99]

So, the bad holding call started the momentum shift. FWIW.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

This appears to be another Franklin "crap the bed" effort after a bye-week.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

10-7, Wisky, with 1:23 left in the half, after the PAT

 

[WestSideLion]

It’s frustrating how this team often beats itself.

 

[Alphabets]

This is not a championship caliber team. Too many dumb mistakes.

I reiterate.

 

[WestSideLion]

So, the bad holding call started the momentum shift. FWIW.

I disagree. PSU had many many chances to stop Wisky. They killed themselves there.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

So, the bad holding call started the momentum shift. FWIW.

Did the holding call allow a receiver to get open in quadruple zone coverage?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Kick goes into the endzone, so PSU will start on 25

1st down is a nice pass for a pass to the 40 something.

next play, the sack Allar

 

[Tom McAndrew]

incomplete on 3rd down.

Allar is going into the medical tent (edit: to the locker room). Appears he got hurt on the sack

 

[CoolBean]

Offense sucks the last 3 drives

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Allar looked like a deer in headlights on that series. No composure at all and stood like a tree stump.

 

[Paws057]

Hope Allar is okay

 

[CDLionFL]

Losing the battle at the line of scrimmage on both sides. I kinda think all of the eye candy isn't really amounting to much on offense. Just slobberknock them and get it over with.

 

[LionsAndBears]

What happened with Allar as he was walking into the locker room?

 

[Nittering Nabob]

Looks like a sprained knee to me. Pribula the rest of the way.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

10-7, Wisky, at the half

 

[WestSideLion]

That was a frustrating and predictable first half. They made an average Wisconsin team look good.

 

[Nittering Nabob]

What happened with Allar as he was walking into the locker room?

He decided to engage the taunting fans?

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Well it’s Penn State beating Penn State at the half!

 

[CDLionFL]

Allar looked like a deer in headlights on that series. No composure at all and stood like a tree stump.

He's missed open guys all night. Missed Warren twice in the middle of the field. Missed Fleming wide open for the first down on that long attempt for Clifford. His vision just hasn't been there.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

 

[psu0408]

Allar was yelling “who the f are you,” to someone as he was walking towards the locker room.

 

[CDLionFL]

In scores of other games...

Teoscar Hernandez 2-run HR. Dodgers 3, Yankees 1, Bottom 3

 

[Big Fan]

Two weeks to prepare and this is what you get? The overrated cheers will start sometime in the 3rd quarter.

 

[LB99]

I disagree. PSU had many many chances to stop Wisky. They killed themselves there.

Of course you do. You’re a negative person. What else are you going to say? PSU had momentum and a first down on the holding call. Instead, they punted a few plays later. It’s a big momentum shift. You see what you want to see. You don’t like Franklin, we get it. Just say it.
