That's a bit much. I think they had some good PA and rollouts but didn't have the gameplan with the run.

Easy now. PSU is still a valid D1 program thats playing their best game. You know we'll get everyone's best. The adjustments are starting to break through. Relax.
If it continues the entire game, then I might agree with you. Oline has to man up

I want to see the run game get going. Right now it's ugly.

The oline keeps trying to block the linebackers before blocking the man in front of them and getting neither.

Yes.

This is what I'm talking about.

Is it possible to throw a FUCKING flag for holding...

I ran out of fingers to count clear holds on with no flags.

Go look at their S&P+ rating on special teams and get back to me. You’re the same dude who bitched all last season about Barnes who has now turned things around on defense. Maybe stop spewing keyboard diarrhea.

Barnes was safety and special teams coach last year… we had several punt blocks last year… Last year it wasn’t clear exactly what he was doing to help the team.. .which its pretty obvious what he should have been doing last year to help the team.

Flemming I’ve seen no change from a full time coach as compared to a part time outside of an outstanding freshman on kick returns… punt/kick blocks dont’ seem to be coming close to hitting home for a block.

as far as SP+ ratings for special teams I dont have access to ESPN for that … I looked at football outsiders … SP+ for last year and this year seem to be about the same… so I’m not entirely sure on that metric.

Sorry I like to bitch about guys who dont seem to be doing their job effectively…

CJ has a chance for his Heisman moment this second half. If he comes out slinging he can keep pace with K9 for the big moments.

Or tell them that the officials don’t seem to know what holding is… and to just do it.

2nd half… 15 holding calls against Ohio State.

So we are playing subpar, yet still on pace to miss the three-score spread by 5 points (and we would be on pace to cover if the refs knew what holding was), and Ryan Day, who was lost three games TOTAL, is "getting embarrassed"?

That's quite a hot take.

Um, don’t tell the officials to call holding on the Buckeye OL.

Reminds me of that great REM song "Everybody Holds"

No argument from me. It's just a matter of not being able to rely on an average opponent and the raw talent of an RB to produce big plays. But we saw some stuff with Wilson that good. Might start using pop pass motion as well.

Man. My blood pressure almost doubled just reading this post
