Week 14: Penn State @ Rutgers (3:30 p.m. BTN) Game Thread

[LionDeNittany]

Rutgers QB is a gamer. Got lit up on one play and throws a TD on the next. Look at this drive to answer. I don't see us doing that under Franklin.

A Franklin team would be down by 10 now

For people who say Terry is more of the same, he's not. He's a ball coach.

 

[Frank Lee]

Gronk is an improvement over Drew. The way he throws, PSU maybe wins last season's semifinals.

The D needs to do the tighten up.

Rutgers is a very very very very bad team. 21 points = Knowles is most over paid person in the USA at any podition.

 

[IANit]

Nice play call on 4th-and-2.

 

[Frank Lee]

Those 3rd and short hand-offs are too deep and too slow.

 

[Nemo]

Those 3rd and short hand-offs are too deep and too slow.

Agree. And every 3rd and short cannot be a run

 

[IANit]

Rutgers is a very very very very bad team. 21 points = Knowles is most over paid person in the USA at any podition.

So Knowles is missing tackles and falling down in the secondary? You can put the players in position, but they still have to actually
do the job.

 

[marylovesthelions]

Rutgers has 8 and 9 in the box. THROW THE BALL !5+YARDS TO BACK THEM UP.

 

[marylovesthelions]

7 minutes for 3 points. We are paying 6+ million for 2 terrible coordinators. Good point is our defense never looked better tonight.

 

[Nemo]

We cannot get lined up when Rutgers goes quick

 

[marylovesthelions]

Even if they win, this team took a huge leap backwards tonight. The defense looks exactly as cadyal as the UCLA game.

 

[marylovesthelions]

No starter on Rutgers would start fir the Lions.

 

[Frank Lee]

I don't understand Knowles' pass rush and blitz. They aren't fooling anyone.

Now be honest. Do we want a bowl game or not? Before this game I would have said absolutely let's do one more. Now I'm not so sure.

I genuinely expected us to dominate this game.

 

[Frank Lee]

What a letdown on D. AJ Harris has really digressed. Now, the offense can't settle for field goals. Both coordinators must be overridden for the rest of the game.

 

[Nemo]

Now be honest. Do we want a bowl game or not? Before this game I would have said absolutely let's do one more. Now I'm not so sure.

I genuinely expected us to dominate this game.

Maybe the team expended too much emotion and energy last week? This is bad

 

[IANit]

We can't cover the big guy in the secondary, and we can't get pressure up front. Is Greg mad that he didn't get a call?

 

[Frank Lee]

Throw the 10-20 yard passes to open up the run. Not the 50-yarder and not the 3-yarders.

The emotions had to have been through the roof. It's definitely possible the mental side of this has finally made some players hit the physical wall. I don't know
