Week 5: #6 Oregon at #3 Penn State (Tonight 7:30 PM EDT, NBC, Peacock) Game Day Thread

[Frank Lee]

Shed blockers please.

 

[Jerry]

We're not going to win this without WRs. I don't know if they can't get open...or Drew can't find them...but unless we get some downfield passing game going, we lose.

 

[Frank Lee]

Slow play development. The opposite of what's needed. Forget explosive plays and shoot for 4-7 yards. Grind it out.

So far Oregon is the betters team.

I think you have to make them respect the pass before the grind-it-out stuff can consistently work.

 

[Frank Lee]

Oregon OC came prepared. Kotelnicki and Drew are not working out for this game so far. Maybe halftime adjustments will fix it.

 

[YeOldeCup]

Two weeks off to focus and prepare for a huge home game, while Oregon beat their in-state rival last weekend. Pretty disappointing performance thus far - PSU is lucky to be tied with the earlier missed OR FG.

 

[Jerry]

Crucial drive coming up.

Can our 5-star QB in his 3rd year as a starter make a downfield throw? Will Andy even ask him to try?

o-line needs work in run and pass game

 

[sr108]

Receivers need to get open.

Talk about the Nittany Lions vs. the Ducks here.

no push upfront.

 

[Frank Lee]

OL. Hit the sleds. Drive the opponent back.

 

[Jerry]

Blackledge just said it clear as a bell: they're stacking against the run and forcing Drew and the receivers to make some plays...or not.

So far: not.

 

[Frank Lee]

There's your big game allar.

So far: not.

Kotelnicki should have gamed this out!

 

[YeOldeCup]

Total yards at the half: OR 189, PSU 69!

 

[Jerry]

Halftime analysis: pathetic performance on O. I'm sorry. There's no other word for it. The Ducks are loading up to take away the run because they have no fear of our passing game. And why would they...

 

[IANit]

Rough first half on offense. Oregon is much improved over last year up front. Need to sit Singleton in the second half, or only use him for blocking or receiving out of the backfield.

 

[sr108]

Oregon only needs to run the ball and throw play action passes the second half. Our Defense is already wore out.

They don’t have to load up, their DLine is stuffing the run game.
