Official PSU - Auburn game thread

[Paws057]

Third and forever….no problem! Grrrrrr

 

[ManxomeLion]

3rd and long has been a nightmare

And continues to be

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 14, PSU only rushes 4, but loses containment in the middle of the field, and Finley scrambles 18 yards for the 1st down. smh

 

[Psu00]

The D can not stop 3rd and long. So frustrating.

 

[WestSideLion]

Is it too much to stop them on a 3rd and forever?

 

[LB99]

YES BV, our defense has been on the field twice as long as Auburn. Wonder if the heat - humidity is affecting the defense?

It’s 83 degrees and 56% humidity in Auburn, AL right now. It’s 76 and 59% humidity in State College, PA. The heat and humidity nonsense is overrated today. The only thing affecting the defense is their head coach’s bone headed fourth down call to start the game that put them in a bad position and gifted Auburn 3 points.

 

[PSU12046]

Another 3rd and long gift

3rd and Bellefonte is an automatic first down for the other team

 

[Tom McAndrew]

JPJ got stiff armed to the ground on an open field opportunity.

 

[GregInPitt]

Porter got schooled on his missed tackle on the 10 yard run.

 

[The real m.knox]

The D can not stop 3rd and long. So frustrating.

Beyond frustrating. Keeps the D on the field.

 

[Wlawnlion]

Keep him in the pocket

 

[step.eng69]

Defense is slowing in speed

 

[Psu00]

Is it too much to stop them on a 3rd and forever?

They need to stop playing prevent D or rushing 4 and just line up and play normally. It can’t be any worse.

 

[Nohow]

Why so many PSU injuries?

 

[BW Lion]

PSU’s offense better wake up because AU is going to be able to run the ball at will later on the game

 

[Psu00]

Beyond frustrating. Keeps the D on the field.

Yep. It’s a recurring problem for years and really not good in the heat and humidity down south for late in the game.

 

[step.eng69]

Heat is not your allies on defense
Too long on the field

 

[VetsClub78]

There we go!

 

[ManxomeLion]

Red zone defense OK so far

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Auburn with 3rd & goal from the PSU 7 ... and a pass that only gains 2 yards. (where was that Southern speed?)

Auburn with a 22-yard FG with 6:59 left in the half, 7-6, PSU

 

[BobPSU92]

We stopped them on 3rd down. I don’t get it.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

PSU 7 Auburn 6 Franklin -3

 

[Psu00]

PSU’s offense better wake up because AU is going to be able to run the ball at will later on the game

The O needs to start playing smarter and build a lead. They just let Auburn hang around so far. Needed to make the game 14-3 earlier and deflate the stadium.

 

[PSU87]

We stopped them on 3rd down. I don’t get it.

They shoulda taken a false start and made it 3rd and 12

 

[Paws057]

We stopped them on 3rd down. I don’t get it.

It was short yardage. If it was 3rd and 10+ they would have got it

 

[psuno1]

Porter got schooled on his missed tackle on the 10 yard run.

Nessler and Danilson keep calling him All American I don't think he was ever All Big 10.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Singleton with a KO return to PSU's 32

 

[Tom McAndrew]

K. Lee back and rushes for 10 on 2nd & 15

 

[Tom McAndrew]

1st down! completion on 3rd & 6 to Strange

 

[Big_O]

Why has 3rd and 10+ yards become an automatic first down for the opponent for what it seems for the last 20 years or so? Just seems like poor discipline.

 

[Nohow]

Strange having a good game receiving.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Nice 1st down

 

[ManxomeLion]

Nice time for a trick play!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

a little trickery by MY (throw-back screen to the QB) and Cliff to the 10

 

[Nohow]

Bad call. Never run between the 5 and 10 yard line.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Wow, Parker Washington WIDE open there

 

[PSU87]

We had a WIDE open receiver in the left flat on 2nd down

 

[PSUSignore]

Oh my, walk in TD opportunity missed.

 

[PSU73]

Wow. Washington W I D E O P E N

 

[Tom McAndrew]

KLS to the 3 (though Washington was wide open). 3rd & goal from the 3
