Official PSU - Northwestern 2023 game thread

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Michigan has looked good and could/should easily ranked #1. Do you think you're discovering fire with this act or what? They have a better OL overall and their DL is more stout up the middle. WR play is also better. They will be favored in every game they play but maybe you don't realize this or you're just mad proactively that PSU could drop that game. Then you can say I told you so or something....it's a dumb act though.

It comes down to expectations, which is subjective. I’d like to see: 1 big 10 championship every 4 years. 1 big 2 sweep every 4 years. 1 split big 2 every 2 years. Show me the crazy in this.
‘Also, I 100% don’t agree us fans should be ok going 9-2 with a bowl win vs Utah every year. I’m not mad, angry or otherwise put out by 9-2, I just hope for more.
‘Now, if go state beat university of Massachusetts so we can be 9-2 is your thing, be yourself. But grabbing my ankles before the big 2 is not my thing. As for I told you so nonsense, well you don’t know me at all, cause that’s what little biches do.
(and I’m on record we beat OSU this year cause 15 and D)

Let me know when your expectations win or lose a single game....it's just online BS people repeat. You're such a hero in your head with that BS you just posted. EVERYONE on this site HOPES they can at least win one of those 2 games......and out of everyone else in the entire conference....we are the only one with a punchers chance to do so. If you want to cry like a little bich if they drop those games....feel free. I laugh at grown men crying like that proactively...how about you see what happens before you talk about grabbing your ankles. PSU has 2 games against 2 top 5 teams and you're crying already....get over it or go with the other cliche BS....I hope I'm wrong. Sorry nobody can guarantee you a W at Columbus or against UM.....but that is life.

I think UM is already a 7 point favorite on the road versus PSU. So basically Vegas thinks they are about 10 points better which isn't a stretch after the last 2 years. But hey crying about it early and talking about your expectations will change things.

In what world do you think I lose a minute of sleep if state goes 9-2? I watched football all day Saturday cause I love college football (but there’s no crying lol)

You're such a hero in your head (this feels personal)

Oh I don't know the fact that you're in the In game thread weekly and only talk about UM and tOSU. For someone who acts like he has no concern now, I bet I can go back through this thread and find some things. This was just the first few pages I went back in this thread.....man discovers fire type of stuff here.

Yo noise or nuance? Also mich 21 Nebraska 0 early 2

Did they look like a top 4 big ten championship playoff team today? Mich 21 neb 0 early 2nd

Michigan 35 Neb #23 D 0 early 3rd nothing to see here

No clue what this means yo

Go state beat university of Massachusetts
quick question how’d Mich look yesterday eye test?

We all watch the games differently, and that’s ok. I watch the games with an eye for what’s gonna translate to the games that matter (big 2)
‘Same with the Birds (Dallas/Miami/SF/BUFF/KC). Maybe you’re more of a casual football fan? I also listen to 94 all day and TiVo Colin. I’m all in, but no crying.

UM looked very average the first 2 games of the year against marginal teams.....but those of us that do watch college football know and understand that this happens to the best teams every now and then. I think ECU is 1-4 and UM put up maybe 30 points on them to start off the year....you know what that means.....NOTHING at all when PSU plays UM.

PSU along with others have struggled on the road against lesser opponents and that happens every single year at some point. I've seen better tOSU teams struggle against NW there as well as PSU teams. In 05 PSU won the B1G that year, but needed a 4th and forver late in the game from MRob to Smolko to win against NW.

I think the last time tOSU won a MNC they were curb stomped at Purdue early on in the year, but I could be off there. At the very least they won the B1G comfortably that year Purdue kicked their teeth in. For someone that wants to talk like he isn't a causual fan....your posts wreak otherwise IMO. Just about every regular poster on this site understands that UM is good and PSU could lose to them....just so you know because I don't think you do for some reason.

You’re looking at scores and records, I’m looking at play calling, QB play, are the kids coming out flat Etc. Your camps insistence that game performance before the big 2 games doesn't mean anything is silly. Eye test is real.

So when McCarthy threw 3 picks in a game a few weeks back against Bowling Green, it means PSU will win as they have an even better defense? Not to mention Drew hasn't thrown a pick yet...knock on wood. When UM struggled on O against a very poor ECU team, it means PSU will win....right? They eye test is a really loose guide. Eye test last year had UM stomping TCU, but bad coaching and play calling killed UM as they tried to become a finesse team all of a sudden and it backfired. Not to mention you seem to be very selective on your eye tests and when they matter.

Oh no....what a loss for me to lose your incredible breakdowns? Someone gets called out on their BS and then hides.

How does Georgia finish this year based on the eye test?

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

In the playoffs

 

[PSUHarry]

In the playoffs

And you watched the GA Auburn game?

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

And you watched the GA Auburn game?

Yup did u?

 

[PSUHarry]

Yup did u?

Yes. Most of it.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Yes. Most of it.

Agree uga is one of the 4?

 

[LaJollaCreek]

And you watched the GA Auburn game?

Yeah, that didn't seem like the UGa team of the last 2 years going by the eye test, but who will beat them from the east or west? They got run over by a very average Auburn team, but it was on the road in conference. UGa failed the eye test this weekend for those of us that did watch it. That team minus Bowers is a 2 loss team IMO as he literally can take over a game and did again late in that one. The eye test from one week doesn't mean much as they can still go on and win the SEC which is guaranteed spot in the final 4.

Kentucky this week? I think Auburn gave GA a big wake up call. They will find ways to get Bowers the ball this week or use him to get others open. They don't have the WRs they used to. McConkey is pretty nifty and reliable though. The rest of their schedule is easy until they get to the SEC Champ Game.

Speaking of TE's. remember the preseason hype that PSU had one of the best TE rooms in the country? That aged well. Warren has shined, that's about it. He is multi skilled and athletic but still misses some catches. He mauls people around the goal line too.

Theo nowhere to be found except for the crowded screen over the middle that gives me a heart attack. Blocks like Giesicki.

Dinkins looks to have a high ceiling as a Freshman and on good PSU career trend.

Not sure how much we have really game planned for them, or if they aren't open, or if Allar isn't seeing them when they are. Always thought a TE was a young QBs best friend. I don't see film to know what is going on. I don't recall anything down the seams of the field like prior years. Those have been big plays against OSU in the past.

“Always thought a TE was a young quarterback’s best friend.” Very astute.

UK can run the ball but I believe that game is in Athens so that will be a tough out. It should be an interesting game to watch for sure.

Are you making fun of me?

Are you making fun of me?

Oh, not at all. I really liked your post, very well thought out. I’m really clueless when it comes to Xs and Os and I liked the TE comment, especially since we did have one of the best TE rooms for a few years.

Yeah the TE comment is a know football euphemism. I can’t take the credit.
