Official PSU - Kent State game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Please use this thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the 2024 PSU - Kent State football game.

We Are ...

- curious to see how how many backups, and true freshman, get to play today
- confident that unlike Tennessee, PSU won't be taking any onside kicks in their game against Kent St.
- don't think there's much suspicion as to who will win today's game
- hopeful that the weather is quite lovely in State College for the game
- wondering if the product on the field, or the servers at @Midnighter's Bar, will be the main attraction today

... Penn State!!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

These Penn State players are OUT today: safety KJ Winston Jr., quarterback Jaxon Smolik, linebackers Kari Jackson and Keon Wylie, defensive ends Zuriah Fisher and Mason Robinson, receivers Mehki Flowers and Peter Gonzalez, tight end Andrew Rappleyea, and linemen Sam Siafa, Liam Andrews, De'Andre Cook, and T.A. Cunningham.


No Nittany Lions are QUESTIONABLE.

Weather RADAR showing storms headed towards State College. Might see a weather delay.

Wonder what omen that portents??? The PSU Drum Major loses his hat on the first flip and falls on his butt on the return flip..... never ever saw that before happen during pre-game...

Penn State wins the toss, and defers

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU's 1st KO goes out-of-bounds, so Kent State gets to start on their 35

 

[Tom McAndrew]

DDS hits the QB as he's about to throw, Kobe King nearly gets the INT, and Kent State's QB is down and appears to be in some pain.

Edit: they rule it as a fumble, and recovered by Kent State

... Penn State!!!

Sorry - had to do Little League this morning and then off to Middleburg. Staff have the week off; will be back for Illinois.

 

[step.eng69]

Very sorry to see KS qb injured.

 

[Bones80]

King took a shot. They called that a fumble. Close to a pass. Looks like Fabio is out.

 

[JWB389]

I wouldn’t be surprised if they look at targeting on Kent there.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

3rd & 12, Kent State runs it, and Carter crashes down the line and tackles the runner for no gain.

FC called for by Kaden Saunders at PSU's 24

 

[Tom McAndrew]

1st down completion to Tre Wallace

FFS you knew about your ll game for days

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

Good to see Wallace getting catches early in the game.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Beau comes in, and throws an INT on a middle screen. smh

 

[BobPSU92]

Why switch QBs? For f*ck’s sake.

 

[leinbacker]

Jimmyball!

[Midnighter]

Why switch QBs? For f*ck’s sake.

Please tell me Allar didn’t line up at WR…

 

[Connorpozlee]

Why switch QBs? For f*ck’s sake.

Gimmicky horseshit. I’m guessing they were using that to set up Warren throwing out of a direct snap later? Absurd.

 

[olelion]

If it's gonna be dink and dunk, give me Pribula

 

[Nits74]

Another sloppy start.

 

[psuno1]

Complete Garbage the two Qb's on the field needs to stop.

 

[troutrus]

#11.

 

[stater02]

How hard is it to line up onside?!? We didn’t clean this up in the bye week? Opening kick goes out of bounds. Dumb pass into traffic that gets intercepted. This team just can’t get out of its own way.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Duane Lane in at safety for PSU

Kent WR lined up offside on next play, but it wasn't called.

 

[Bones80]

This is the game to test out things to see what works and what doesn’t. No problem with Warren in the wildcat. Was a HS QB. Something else for defenses to prepare for.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

A reception by Julian Fleming, and PSU is in Kent State's territory in 3 plays

 

[stater02]

Thank God Kent State called timeout. If we would’ve run a play in that half a$$ formation my remote was going through the screen. Stick to the basics and smoke this team.

 

[Anon1640372757]

Franklin should be fired right now. What a fraud.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Penn State shifted to an unbalanced line, and Kent State calls TO on 3rd down.

 

[Nittany1865Farmer]

What in the name of football was that formation?? Thank goodness someone had the sense to call time out before that train wreck got underway.
