Official PSU vs. Purdue Game Thread

[Nohow]

They just don’t know how to utilize this TE talent.

Bring back O'Brien! If he's good enough for Brady, he's good enough for PSU.

 

[Paws057]

That was an interesting series…

 

[WestSideLion]

Typical Sean. 50% completion rate. As many poor throws as decent ones.

 

[CDLionFL]

Serious question - I’m at a bar in Wellsboro so I may be seeing things but ….

Does it appear that Purdue is “out-athlete-ing” us ??

PS - yes I just made that word up

I wouldn't quite say that. Their offensive scheme is built on getting the ball out quick. Their receivers have been a lot better than our corners so far.

 

[JWB389]

3 penalties against Purdue's D on 1 play -- not something you see too often

Make up calls. Don’t expect any more tonight.

Franklin has to let Clifford run when he has a golden opportunity. You can't tell you QB to stay in the pocket and be a statue, unless your last name is Roethlisberger

 

[Bison13]

Clifford pocket presence and ability to find second and third option is still bad

 

[LionInTheSouth]

Not been impressed so far with our defense, poor tackling and not enough pressure. I’m not as worried about our offense. I think they can turn it on when needed.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Good thing we locked up Franklin long-term this off-season. Would hate to see this product leave town!!

 

[bdgan]

Lucky there

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Fox didn't get this caption correct. smh



Edit: They subsequently deleted the tweet, and posted a corrected one:

This is why Clifford will never be a big time QB. First down at the Purdue 48, drops back to pass and the entire field in front of him was vacant. Can't he see that? Beyond frustrating.

 

[LionsAndBears]

Good opportunity here! LETS GO!!

 

[WestSideLion]

Clifford pocket presence and ability to find second and third option is still bad

The kid’s in his 6th year. He won’t improve in those areas at this point.

 

[Tom McAndrew]

PSU takes over after the punt return at Purdue's 43, with 6:14 left in the 1st half

 

[ILLINOISLION]

That was an interesting series…

Interesting…..pathetic…..whatever.

He needs to run

Yea I get that but still when it comes to one on one stuff their players look quicker and stronger than ours

 

[Colt2169]

And

I don’t see our line getting any kind of “push”

 

[PSU87]

I haven't seen a run game this bad since..... Penn State 2021

 

[Nohow]

Yeah, use the TEs.

 

[Paws057]

I didn’t know we had tight ends. Are they allowed to throw to them?

 

[Tom McAndrew]

Strange on a passing route for the 1st down at Purdue's 21

 

[Moogy]

Wife and I are near suicidal watching game #1 of yet another season of F’n Franklin Football

What needs to happen to push you over the edge, but make your wife think better of it?

 

[JoeBot409]

That is a dirty hit

 

[LionsAndBears]

Feed Nick!!! Let him eat!!

 

[ManxomeLion]

I'll say it...QBs get injured just as much in the pocket as by running.

 

[Colt2169]

That is a dirty hit

That’s actually the kind of hit that should get you thrown out

 

[PSU87]

LOL.... moving the pile

 

[LionsAndBears]

TD on the push! Love it!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

TD, PSU!!!

 

[JoeBot409]

Big bush push

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Now #90 should have been called for targeting Clifford’s legs.

I know there’s not a rule for that BUT THERE SHOULD BE!!!!!

 

[Tom McAndrew]

8-play, 43-yard drive for the TD,

PAT is good, so 14-10, PSU

 

[PSU87]

OK D... let's not give up a cheap one

 

[Colt2169]

So heres another tbought

PSUs drives game been long drawn out drives - the defense should not be tired - how about we come up with something ?

 

[CDLionFL]

Never seen a 2 1/2 yard QB sneak work like that before but I'll take it.

 

[The real m.knox]

Big bush push

Loved that. Almost funny to watch....

 

[bdgan]

Strange play. Pun intended.
