Official PSU - Michigan State 2023 game thread

[Tom McAndrew]

Please use this thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game discussion of the PSU - MSU game.

We Are ...

- sad to see the regular season come to a close
- not sure what to expect from MSU, as I haven't watched 1 minute of them this season
- guessing (based on the betting line) that MSU really is a mess this season
- hoping that the PSU players are not out of kilter due to the Friday nite game, and the holiday
- happy for the PSU players from Michigan to be playing in their home state
- expecting to see PSU players hoisting the Land Grant Trophy at the end of the game

... Penn State!!!

I don't know if it's the tryptophan from the turkey leftovers, the opponent or the fact that this game is on tonight, but this one has the potential to be a snooze fest.

 

[Bones80]

Kalen may come back. Didn’t have the expected year. Doubt he’s a first rounder. May get there with another season

 

[maypole]

DA is starting.

Not that I need anymore food or drink after the past two days, but @Midnighter, can we expect some special drinks from the bar this evening?

 

[BobPSU92]

I hate us.

I can try to whip something up….

You really are one miserable person.

You really are one miserable person.

You predicting a fun game?

 

[LBUfanatic]

You predicting a fun game?

No. But it’s the last time to watch the lions for at least a month and then 8 months of only talking about PSU football. I’ll enjoy it while I can.

I must have missed where it’s a requirement for anyone to watch.

 

[Nits1989]

Friday night NBC prime time game at a pro stadium. I‘m looking forward to the game.

It feels like a Blanton’s on the rocks type of night…. X

 

[Paws057]

I see Iowa won the west division. Should be a real massacre playing either OSU or Michigan next week…

 

[Paws057]

Blackledge is announcing tonight…

 

[Classof09]

Cheering for the 10th win of the season - as a reminder, at least 100 other teams would love that record.

Allar starts at QB

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Allar to Cephas on the 2nd play of the game for PSU. The arm looked fine

 

[Paws057]

Nice circus catch from Fatman

 

[ManxomeLion]

Allen not only a talented runner but a gifted juggler! Saquonesqe!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

ugh, throw the ball away, Drew. Don't take the sack

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Felkins with a 49-yard FG. 3-0, PSU, with 9:50 left in the 1st qtr

 

[NittPicker]

Anyone catch the announcer say the teams had to prepare for different hash marks?? WTF??

 

[Phlebitis]

Felkins with a 49-yard FG. 3-0, PSU, with 9:50 left in the 1st qtr

I’ll take it after that bad sack.

 

[BobPSU92]

ugh, throw the ball away, Drew. Don't take the sack

The pocket collapsed quickly there.

 

[JakkL]

Sack was on Worlmey Ione. He whiffed on DT and Allen had to pick him up instead of the DE.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Felkins has been solid for us. Probably our best Transfer Portal pickup this year.

 

[yboby]

ugh, throw the ball away, Drew. Don't take the sack

Never had a chance. Glad he didn't fumble. This O line has a hard time handling stunts. Plus their run blocking is average at best.

 

[Paws057]

The pocket collapsed quickly there.

Center missed his block

 

[NittPicker]

Time for some Manny Magic.

 

[ManxomeLion]

Wow, holding on MSU, no call

 

[Tom McAndrew]

wow, give the MSU QB credit as he throws just before getting blasted by Jacobs, and still complete the ball to PSU's 31
