Had he thrown it to his wide open TE it would have been haild as a brilliant call. But Tommie is Tommie and he's going to throw it deep. Every. Frickin. Time.

Anomalies don't happen seven times in a row. Most members on this board would have won more than 5 games this year as head coach.

And the coaches should know this and not make this call, or replace TAHad he thrown it to his wide open TE it would have been haild as a brilliant call. But Tommie is Tommie and he's going to throw it deep. Every. Frickin. Time.

Insane, I didnt see Carter wide open. Why they're passing on that down is also a head scratcher, it was actually less than a yd to pick up. When I saw that hurl to the fade, I almost lost it wow...Had he thrown it to his wide open TE it would have been haild as a brilliant call. But Tommie is Tommie and he's going to throw it deep.

No it wouldn't have been. it would have been a lucky call. In that situation you kick the field goal 100 out of 100 times. We had the time to drive down again (which we actually did do).Had he thrown it to his wide open TE it would have been haild as a brilliant call. But Tommie is Tommie and he's going to throw it deep.

This season directly lies on the head of Riley. He had the opportunity to assemble a top-notch staff and failed miserably. He has nobody to blame but himself for the predicament we're in. Sadly, due to his loyalty, he'll likely have the same staff next year. I figure we'll finish 7-5 and it will be said that "noted improvement" was shown and then Riley will be retained for another year. It's going to be a long, painful ride, folks.

The coaching has been poor at times this year. The QB play has been poor. The secondary play has been poor. The D has been hurt. All contribute.
In this game TA threw 2 ints that where really bad. Stared down a reciever and didn't see a large person in front of the play, hitting him right in the numbers. The screen was the second he had picked off. The Northwestern pick six likely cost that game. The pass against Illinois, just a dumb play by coaches calling it assuming an experienced QB would do the right thing.
The coaches pooched the Purdue game start to finish.
Armstrong will be gone after next year. The headcoach will still be here. Hope he gets better. The D got much better at the end. Had they played that way at the beginning they win a couple more.
Armstrong will start next year, but if anyone shows potential, completes 60% of their passes, and only throws 1 INT a game, can throw the short routes, throw the ball away, make a 3 rd down with a scramble, and have basic footwork, they take the job. That's a low bar.
A Hackenberg style QB that got good by his Jr or Sr year. Not a fancy player but a manager.

You seriously want a QB like Hackenburg? He's terrible and has been a complete bust at Penn State.

Hackenburg is a terrible disappointment. His stats thru 11 games are 2129 yards passing, 53% completion %, 14 TDs and 3 INTs. He also doesn't give any threat running the ball. Other than a lot fewer turnovers, he's about the same as Armstrong. Penn State fans aren't enamored with him at QB, and hope he turns pro.

Now, I wouldn't mind a smart QB who minimized mistakes and played within the system. However, I think Riley's/Langsdorf's offense asks for more than that from the QB. Riley/Langsdorf don't want to commit to the run and want to win the game throwing it all over the field. That type of offense requires more than a "game manager" at QB.
