Week 8: Penn State at Iowa (7:00 PM, Peacock) Game Thread

What the hell is DeLuka doing?

DeLuka is a huge liability. With another week to prepare, maybe one of the younger LBs will get more playing time

 

[IANit]

Well he’s a threat with his legs. He’s not a pure drop back passer/statue back there

He's normally a good runner, but I thought his left leg was bothering him. Hasn't looked like it tonight.

The is the moment. Can the O run 3:30 off the clock? Can they at least put 3 on the board?

Unacceptable that Knowles can never hold a late game lead.

Not impressed AT ALL with his defense. Even zone reads gash us

 

[marylovesthelions]

Who was that terrible walk on 4 yr lb starter whose fog was named Nittany? DeLuka reminds me of him.

 

[WeR0206]

why do they always go with singleton on 3rd downs up the middle. Why?!?

 

[Nemo]

Is there enough D Line talent on the roster?

 

[Nemo]

Once again, when it mattered most, we turtlesld up. 3rd down needed to be a pass

 

[marylovesthelions]

Pass interference not called. He had his arms wrapped around the receiver. Great effort. Fire Koltelnicki

4th down play was another play that a legit WR would make. In spite of the failure of the OL to pick up the blitz the ball was right there for the play to be made.

We (this board, my friends, acquaintances) all knew about the LB and WR rooms before the season started. This is where Franklin didn't know football as much as we gave him credit for. He knew football maybe like someone who played Madden or fantasy football, but never really understood it.

IDK. I might have missed something, but it did not look like a penalty

I never game him that much credit.

 

[NittanyLion99]

This game was lost by the same coaching decisions we endured the last 14 yrs. Going on 4th down, up 5, in your own territory is unforgivable.

That was incredible. I dont want to hear that we didn't play well. That was a blatant PI that wasn't called!!!!!!!¡!!!

 

[GregInPitt]

He only has one tackle so far

Basically MIA. Carter being on the field last season made DDS look good as the 2nd DE and he had some good games post season last year, but he's been playing like a 7th round draft choice this season when the defense really needed some leadership.

 

[SummitLion]

Are you kidding me? Rewatch it. He dragged him down by his arm. That is called PI 99% of the time, except against Penn State.

 

[bdroc]

Terry Smith reverted to James Franklin on our last possession by running Singleton instead of Allen. Then he called a TO which we needed to get the ball back after missing on 4th down.

No more East Stroudsburg, UW-Whitewater, and Cornell guys on the staff. No more spreadsheets, analytics, and nice offices. It's freaking football. It's Oklahoma drills and driving sleds.
