Official PSU - Auburn game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Please use this thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussions about the PSU - Auburn game.

Sorry for starting this so late ... I tried to do a couple of quick errands, and they turned out to be not so quick.

We Are ...

- curious to see how PSU handles the southern speed
- wondering if PSU will have more big plays, or Auburn will have more long, grinding, rushing possessions
- expecting a good turnout of white in the sea of orange
- happy that I root for a team that has one mascot, and isn't dithering between War Eagle and Aubie the Tiger
- planning to be celebrating a PSU win at the end of the game

... Penn State!!!

Great feature about Adisa Isaac's family on the pre-game.

the refs are a B1G crew. Michael Cannon is the head referee.

Neuheisel picked against us. Revoke his VIP booth at the Corner Room!

Lots of Blue and White

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I know they tried, but an Orange Out in the afternoon just doesn't compare to a White Out at night.

A Jenny Dell sighting!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

4th & 1 at midfield ... questionable to go for it on the 1st drive ... not sure if PSU got it.

and they didn't convert. PSU has run that play too often on short yardage ... Auburn was ready for it.

 

[Paws057]

A less than great start

 

[DELion]

1st bad decision going on 4th and 2 at your own 48.

 

[AvgUser]

So not intentional hit to the head by two defenders?

 

[PSUwolf]

Not starting out well.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Ughhh, giving them a short field, not sure Franklin's thinking here, smacks of desperation.

 

[BiochemPSU]

That was a horrible call. I guess being away in a loud crowd wasn’t enough of a disadvantage.

that’s our Jimmy!

@BobPSU92 is likely to miss the entire game after viewing Jenny.

 

[Bene]

Franklin doing Franklin things

 

[LB99]

Bad call on the road. That’s on Franklin. Terrible decision. Play field position on the road.

I like going for it…don’t like trying to sneak it when they are stacked up inside on D.

Let Barney do his job... He does it well.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Franklin with another of his dumbass in-game give the game away decisions.

 

[BiochemPSU]

Your QB just got his bell rocked and you run a sneak? Good grief.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

I didn't think it was worth a flag. They ran into each other ... the Auburn player didn't lead with his helmet.

 

[WestSideLion]

Worst game day coach in the B1G with Frost gone.

yeah, the D was stacked for the play. You would think PSU would have a few fakes out of that formation.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Nothing illegal about it on that play.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Nice completion by Auburn on the 3rd & 7. They are down to the 8.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Your line can’t hear the snap count so that’s the fudging perfect time to run up-the-middle on fourth and short right after your QB just got hammered.

Franklin’s in-game decisions suck 80+% of the time.

Predictable play call, what is that the 4th time we've seen it out of that formation? Risk was too high to try it there IMO, silly to give Auburn a short field this early.

 

[BVSt.Paul]

Auburn lineman looked like he moved early on 3rd down completion

 

[PSU87]

I'm at the game....was there a false start by the right tackle on that 3rd down? Looked like it

It was close, thought it might be as well.
