College Football Week 9

[Steelr4evr]

And damn just like that. Sweet run.

 

[Steelr4evr]

I fully expect Penn State to get crushed. So it will be a no stress game to watch.

 

[MTC]

dang it. I wanted the shutout. That super soft zone sucks.

It’s alright. Just 7 given up. Nobody has been able to score on these guys this season.

I always expect a good game against PSU. No matter the records or circumstances,

 

[MTC]

Dawgs win now onto hockey and I am done with sports for the night after the Pens game.

They're really super high energy games to watch. Just from the fans alone.

The last two games have been duds. Maybe we get Sid back this evening.

He and Carter are both playing tonight.

 

[Drink IRON City]

I watched the 1rst 1/2 Georgia game and am impressed. Both teams played well but One could tell G was going to get them. Bulldogs have a very stout defense and they (team) deserve that #1 ranking.




Salute the nation

 

[Steelr4evr]

Penn States offense needs to get it out in under 3 seconds or they're screwed against this pass rush. At least roll him out or shotgun. Under center is a no go.

Georgia is the best team in the country and it's not close. I know Alabama fans don't want to admit that, but it's reality. The only team that can keep Georgia from winning the NC this year is Georgia.

Penn State seems to recruit great everywhere except the OL. The OL has been pretty crummy for a couple years now. To me, it's the only thing holding them back. Besides Franklin.

 

[Steelr4evr]

That quick tempo is exactly what they need to do. Nice drive.

 

[Djfan]

How about my #21 Aztecs?

Sucking right now, but undefeated so far this season!!

 

[SteelBuckeye]

Good game PSU. Gave the Buckeyes all they could handle like I expected.

The OL for Penn State is very subpar. That's the main key for them and the coach. Good game nonetheless.

 

[Omar10213245]

Great game, Penn State fans. If this game was in Happy Valley, I'm pretty sure we lose this game. Nittany Lions were the FAR more physical/tougher team, that strip-sack fumble recovered and run back for a TD was pretty much the difference in the game. Clifford was awesome, dude is tough as nails and didnt blink.

Yep. That Georgia D is filthy-good. They'll be hoisting that trophy at season's end, I have seen nothing to believe they wont be.

So's the coaching staff. Franklin is the Tomlin of college coaches. They have upset top ranked teams one time in his career - if there's an upset, they're invariably the victim. Eight seasons and one upset of a top ranked team.

 

[CoolieMan]

Well UH pulled out the victory with a KR for a TD with 17 seconds left in the game. SMU had tied it up with a field goal with about 30 seconds left and Jones took it to the house to break the tie and send us home happy

He also had a pick and several tackles. The kid is dam good, I just wish he was a bit bigger

they also have a SR receiver named Dell who had 3 TD catches tonight, he would certainly look good in black and gold

I also think that fumble was the game changer. If not for that play PSU had a real good shot to win.

How was that "snap infraction" not a fumble? Nobody on the OL moved early, the center simply dribbled the ball on the ground and PSU recovered. To me that's no different than if the snap goes over the QB's head.

Seeing PSu play like this just makes the season all the more frustrating. They were on the way to beating Iowa easily and clearly would have beaten Illinois if not for Clifford's injury.

The OL is struggling despite the fact that they have 3 guys who may play in the NFL. They have guys with individual talent but it's just not coming together as a unit. Or it's coming together slowly. If they had a Saquon or even a Miles Sanders, the run game would probably be OK, but they don't have a special RB to overcome the OL issues.

 

[TDX27]

Penn State will lose to Michigan and Michigan State. You can't win in the Big 10 without a running game. I never remember Penn State having a running game this bad. They usually have 2 or 3 good RB's they can play and at least one can catch out of the backfield. They are just pitiful and it's cost them already and will the rest of the season.

 

[str8liner]

If Clifford dosen't turn the ball over PSU wins last night. He is hurt, playing about 70 percent of his potential and not having a running game has doomed the lions.

My takeaway from the game last night is you OSU guys aren't winning a NC with that CJ kid.

He just doesn't seem to have "it".

Yeah, I agree, not sure how that wasnt a fumble. I was also scratching my head when, late in the 4th quarter, Penn State (Joey Porter Jr) was called for defensive holding, but the result was "half the distance to the goal, still 2nd down"...isnt defensive holding supposed to be an automatic 1st down?

Eh. He's a freshman, I'll wait to see how he develops as we get to next season, and after that.
