PSU held rutgres to 72 yards of O at home and only leads 7-0 at half. Unfortunately, the PSU O only ground out 120 yards against the mighty rutgres D. This is a sad day for PSU football fans. The loss to Illinois was not a fluke.

Maybe Allar won’t have to play next year as a true freshman. Villeaux might have something to say about that.

I have been impressed with his poise and play making ability. He has just been an unknown quantity since he hasn’t played since 2019.

If we don’t turn the ball over we win. I’m a little surprised we haven’t gotten any turnovers ourselves yet but hopefully a pick will happen. I’m not sure what the RU quarterback substitution stuff that was happening was intending to accomplish but the new QB looked quicker than #0.

CV is making a Pat Devlin-like debut. I'm not fond of the play-calling requiring him to run so much....it's almost as if Franklin and Yurcich forget about the lack of QB depth on roster.

Now, just wait a minute.

We must all reserve judgement until he can actually prove that he can hand the ball OFF like Pat Devlin!!

Its part of the Penn State QB experience. You are going to have to run on designed draws 3-5 times a game for very short yardage and a punishing hit. It results every year in injured QBs, but its worth the price of admission.

I liked the TD but not the play call. Veilleux had to make a tough pass while rolling out.

Only 2 WRs, 9 blocking. I hate that we don't throw the ball high to our TEs in the EZ.

But it worked this time.

Of course I'd also like to see a FB from time to time. It worked for Iowa & Illinois.

Anyone else done with Dotson returning punts? How many has he actually caught this year?
I've been wondering why he's been unable to return many, almost every one is a fair catch.

Maybe coaching staff content with sure hands catching and not bumbling the ball.

So who is the backup at the moment without Roberson or cliff available?

Who said Roberson was not available? It was a week ago that Franklin said Veilleux had passed Roberson on the depth chart.

I suspect that Clifford would play again.

But the walk on Stahl took all the snaps supposedly in the last practice of the week.

Veilleux just reminded me that QB's that can throw accurately can actually hit a receiver in stride and facilitate YAC.

As a PSU fan, I had forgotten........
