Official PSU - Michigan game thread

[Paws057]

These bye weeks seem to be a curse

 

[Bkmtnittany1]

#86 Strange is a stud...how many balls thrown his way so far????

 

[FTLPSU]

Its early...its 6-0....could be worse---Offense is struggling...its CFB...1 play and the Emotional tide changes...let the coaches adjust....speaking of adjusting....

Diaz 2 series already---time to adjust ..lets see

 

[troutrus]

we gots ‘em right where we wants ’em

 

[CoolBean]

over matched, 9 yds of offense in 1st quarter

 

[WestSideLion]

I miss toughness and physicality in this program. It hasn’t been present in a decade.

 

[billthebusdriver007]

Just can't understand how year in and year out, you come into big games unprepared, especially after a bye week.

Not too hard to figure out, same coach.

 

[Erial_Lion]

Penn State’s best offensive play is a penalty by UM’s defense.

Blitzer comes from the right and the QB throws to the left. Incredible recognition by a 6th year senior.

No way should that be put on Clifford…glad he got rid of it so quickly

 

[Paws057]

At this pace we’ll be lucky to get a first down before the half!

 

[Phlebitis]

Just can't understand how year in and year out, you come into big games unprepared, especially after a bye week.

It’s what we do!

 

[Big_O]

126 to 9 yards of offensive production.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

We’re DAMN lucky it’s not 14-0…..with UMich getting the ball back!

SIX offensive plays in the first quarter!

 

[PSU87]

At least we have our nipple thread.....

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU blitzes on 3rd down, Michigan picks it up, and converts on a pass to Bell.

 

[AvgUser]

That play clinched it; PSU is doomed today.

 

[JoeBot409]

When it’s your day it’s your day

 

[Tom McAndrew]

damn, Robinson is in the process of sacking McCarthy, and McCarthy throws a ball that goes over Carter and is caught by Bell. We don't seem to have anything going our way.

 

[Paws057]

I can hear Franklin already, “ we’ve got some things to clean up”

 

[PSUAVLNC]

Dominated.

 

[billthebusdriver007]

Wow, just wow.

 

[JoeBot409]

our defense needs a protractor, terrible angles

 

[Big_O]

Starting to look like last year’s 5-0 team. Will they win another game this season?

 

[psujejr]

switching to the Phillies at 2

 

[CoolBean]

Is PSU this bad? 2 weeks to prepare LOL

 

[Bene]

Uninspired, not physical, and not prepared.

 

[Paws057]

Did they just say we have 1 yard of offense?

 

[psu0408]

5+ yards a carry. All the preseason hype about Beamon and Mustipher, they’re getting manhandled

 

[Phlebitis]

OK I’ll say it, Michigan looks pretty damn good.

 

[billthebusdriver007]

When it’s your day it’s your day

No, when you're much better you're much better.

 

[ManxomeLion]

UMs sophomore QB looks so much better than super senior Clifford. Sad.

 

[psuno1]

Getting dominated in the trenches and going conservative with a 6th year QB

Same as it ever was.

 

[PSU12046]

I can hear Franklin already, “ we’ve got some things to clean up”

obviously

 

[JoeBot409]

switching to the Phillies at 2

I might go golfing, this is embarrassing.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ugh, Ji'Ayir Brown -- who up to this point in the game has been the best PSU defender -- is down and injured.

 

[billthebusdriver007]

UMs sophomore QB looks so much better than super senior Clifford. Sad.

Give him a few more years, he'll improve.

 

[Lion84]

Starting to look like last year’s 5-0 team. Will they win another game this season?

Um - yeah they will

 

[Nits74]

What an absolutely horrible performance so far on both sides of the ball. Embarrassing.

 

[Big_O]

Uninspired, not physical, and not prepared.

Typical Franklin coached team. Leading with love.

 

[Ram20]

Until Franklin understands that we need BIG physical O and D lines, we just will never be better than average. Its not the QB or lack of WR's or explosives. If you can't get one yard or stop one yard more than you don't, you aren't finishing tops in the big ten ever.

 

[NB4PSU]

Let's go. Let's do this.

Look, Michigan had 2 weeks to prepare and we're coming off 2 tough road games. Cut our guys some slack for not being creative on Offense and generally lethargic (hey, maybe it's that 11 am start time wink wink). I'm sure when WE get 2 weeks to prep and UM comes in kinda beaten up we'll go get 'em!

Oh... wait.....

Color me unimpressed with our prep in EVERY aspect of the game (although #16, #11 made nice plays on D and Parker made a helluva run after the catch). Players look like they expect to lose. Long way to go and maybe we've got some mojo in store for the second half.... we'll see. [I happen to think we are playing conservative so osu doesn't see all our stuff. Clearly we caan beat UM playing plain jane vanilla.]
