macroboy Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Defense is better than the offense. The bend but don't break philosophy is brutally stressful to watch. Gotta get off the field more on 3rd down. That being said, they balled out! Especially in the 2nd half. QB is going to be hot and cold the rest of the year. They don't trust LMC to throw the ball. We still have issues with high snaps. I'll take Wandale in the backfield all day. How can we not have the right people on the field or get lined up coming out of a TV time out after a kick off? The whole 3rd quarter was a sloppy mess on offense. I put that on the coaches. This is year 3. Can we please stop with the Qb draw on 3rd down. 9 Quote Link to comment

Popular Post Undone Posted November 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2020 I have a feeling people will spend all week on this board talking about the reason we won this game being McCaffrey making the difference. And don't get me wrong, he did play well. But our defense won this game. We haven't seen many displays of awareness and individual athleticism on defense like Williams' punch/scoop/score on this team in the past several years. That play won the game, in my opinion. I could not believe Kade Warner dropped a "gimme" TD pass in the end zone...the game wouldn't have actually been a last-second nail-biter if he just hauls in that catch that hits him right in the numbers. It is so fun to finally be able to break down a game that we actually won. Penn State is not as bad as their 0-3 record showed heading into this game; despite Parsons opting out and a couple injuries they still have four star talent all over in their program. 16 2 3 Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Also, I think Cam Taylor-Britt has the potential to be a great one. LB looked as good as I've seen in years. 1 minute ago, knapplc said: His nickname is Run-LMC, not Pass-LMC. It's also why Penn State got back in the game. 5 1 Quote Link to comment
Crusader Husker Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Agreed, D is ahead of the O. LMC is the guy for now. We have a long way to go. I switched beers and now I have to stick with it. Stupid sales.... 2 1 Quote Link to comment

This is how I view Penn State. They are a talented team, especially in the trenches. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 The defense is coming into its own. They are improving noticeably over past years. Chin still has his detractors, and they make good points, but as he gets more and more of his guys involved it's looking more and more like a squad that can hang in the Big Ten. Notably, Penn State ran 25 plays in the Red Zone. They kicked three FGs and scored a TD. When the Blackshirts had their backs against the wall, they got tough. 7 1 Quote Link to comment

QB skillset and playbook knowledge determines what you can call. But I also agree there is some baffling play calling. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

Penn State's front seven are fast and strong. I think what happened was, no matter which RB we tried using (Mills, Thompkins, Scott, even Robinson), we just couldn't out-muscle them with our blocking. If we had lost this game Frost would get absolutely murdered for play calling...but I think Penn State's run defense is just pretty good. 6 1 Quote Link to comment
Herbie87 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Luke is obviously the best QB for the offense. Team STILL doesn't know how to step on the opponents throat in the second half 90% of playmakers being from 2019 recruiting class gives me optimism 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Defense is the strength of the team, they continue to show that. Luke played fine, but honestly missed some reads and his passing is ok at best. 54 of his 152 yards were on the shovel to Betts. It's probably his team for now but it's not night and day different from AM. Running game is hot garbage outside of the QB. The mistakes have got to get cleaned up. Coaches to captains making mistakes and that feeds to the rest of the team. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
