Official PSU - MSU Game Thread

Do they ever practice QB sneak like any other teams? 1 yd

Apparently not

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Throw to Ford? Brilliant!

not by itself a bad choice. Problem was it was a wheel route, and MSU was in a zone. Ford ran right into the zone. Cliff should have noticed the D, and gone to a different option. As it is, he threw it a bit inside to Ford, and it was incomplete. Even if Ford caught it, he would not have gained much unless the MSU defender that was right on him whiffed on the tackle

Our Oline looks like Spanish bullfighters doing the ‘olé’ trick. Miranda sucked on that like Walker and Wallace have all year. Why do our Olinemen never end up on the ground? Always standing around watching a TFL!

 

[DELion]

Sorry but you have to go for the tying FG there. Better chance of making it than getting 1 yard from the running game.

 

[PrtLng Lion]

Guys, say what you want about Franklin, but that right there... that's just poor play calling. PERIOD.

 

[Ram20]

Can’t even make one f****** yard!

Its been years of that. I dont care record next year. I want to see a physical offensive line.

I feel it's my duty since it oddly hasn't been brought up recently, that we would have made that 4th and 1 with Levis.....

 

[SurgeOne]

4th & 1, PSU going for it ...

and PSU doesn't make it. I don't think Lee got to the LOS. smh

So I guess that means we have zero confidence in Stoudt and FG’s?

 

[BW Lion]

My God the play calls are AWFUL!!

But Yurchich is GOD

 

[PSUForever]

The dancing in the hole on 4th down is mind numbing. If there is ever a time to not dance in the hole it's on 4th down. God almighty!

There is not really a hole. The O-Line can't block.

They might get grass stains on the pants so they stay up

No effective oline in over 25 years

 

[Big_O]

And another failed 4th and short…..not to be confused with our many failed third and short.

Yet our opponents convert them with ease.

#73 is so physically overmatch at his level it's obvious every week.

 

[PSUForever]

Get ready for the D to give up a drive. Crunch time is their losing time in close games.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

That was Lee not the play call! Play call=coaching

totally incorrect.

The DT blew up Miranda. If Lee had not danced he would have run right into the DT or into the back of Miranda. So he did a dance to try to find another gap, and got tackled.

 

[Paws057]

No effective oline in over 25 years

The last really good one was 94 team

 

[NittPicker]

This an extremely winnable game which makes it frustrating we're even down three at this point.

 

[Omar81]

Dotson makes play after play after play WHEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY. Why did he not get the ball during those last four downs? Why did he not get targeted in the Illinois overtimes? Only Franklin and Yurcich are capable of stopping Dotson.

 

[Paws057]

Three missed tackles on that play alone

 

[NittPicker]

WHIFF!!!!

 

[VaLion92]

Guys, say what you want about Franklin, but that right there... that's just poor play calling. PERIOD.

I blame Franklin because I would have tried for the FG.

The play call was all Yurcich.

And I gotta tell you, I'm not impressed with our golden boy. The problem is, I don't feel like going through a 5th OC in 6 years.

 

[Omar81]

Smith with ANOTHER missed tackle. He is terrible.

 

[Paws057]

Shocker, Brandon Smith was there but couldn’t make the tackle

 

[JoeBot409]

This tackling is a joke

 

[FTLPSU]

So another Bonehead not using ur Football IQ …Smith doesn’t breakdown and corrale for a second wait for help..dumb..didn’t need to make the blow up play kid! Would have been fourth down..now they will score and we will definitely loose….use ur f ihg head!

 

[Ram20]

I am so tired of watching out players, Smith particularly, just diving and not tackling

 

[Classof09]

Smith please enter the portal now. Before the game ends!!! You couldn’t tackle someone in a wheelchair

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Smith on the whiff…..A G A I N !

 

[fastlax16]

This d just falls apart at the worst possible times. Can’t wait for this season to end

 

[Grass]

This is so depressing watching these missed tackles.

 

[NittPicker]

That's how you tackle!!!

 

[Navion N8865H]

Brandon Smith afraid to tackle

 

[psupride1997]

The complete lack of fundamentals is really on display today

 

[bdgan]

Another 3rd and long conversation. The important thing is Franklin loves these kids.

 

[JoeBot409]

Brandon Smith afraid to tackle

Like Devin bush. #4 nice tackle

 

[ManxomeLion]

We may need another turnover to pull this one out....

 

[Omar81]

So I guess that means we have zero confidence in Stoudt and FG’s?

He was sitting on the bench, not even a consideration.

 

[Paws057]

Another 3rd and long, they have us right where they want us

 

[NittanyChris]

Kalen King is a baller.
