Penn State Wins 13-6

Lioneye_edited_tiny by BSD on in Game Reviews


Boohoo_medium

Before this game I heard our defense hadn't been tested. They held Ohio State to six points.

Before this game I was told our offensive line was a weakness. Penn State rushed for 160 yards. Ohio State rushed for 61.

Before this game I was told Ohio State had the better running back. Evan Royster had 77 yards rushing. Beanie Wells had 55.

Before this game I was told Terrelle Pryor was the better quarterback. Terrelle Pryor choked and fumbled the ball to give us the win.

Before this game I heard Penn State hasn't won in Columbus in 30 years. We won tonight.

Before this game I was told Penn State hadn't been tested. Penn State is 9-0 and we're going undefeated. You can put us in the national championship, or you can deny us. But you're going to have to deal with it.

We need to get rid of those late season collapse ghosts

I’m afraid of Iowa, merely because I don’t want them to be the nu-wave Minnesota

John Madden told me 90% of the game was half-mental...

No more fear

We have done this too often… show the guys some credit!

Sorry

It’s the Bills fan in me- I tend not to count my chickens until the balls is through the uprights and the clock reads zeros…because I’ve seen insane stuff happen too often.

I can't blame you, bro

I just think that we may finally be able to say we can flat out end a team this time. I have been on pins and damn needles for the last 3 weeks…. I know how you feel

Yes they have settled every score. And the dark days are most definitely over.

I think we’re one even ground with our conference “brothers” now. Does anybody know when the last time was that a team beat Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio State in consecutive weeks?

by Ab4PSU on Oct 26, 2008 1:32 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I doubt it has ever happened

great run… 2 of the 3 on the road

Right

If only because neither Michigan, Wisconsin or Ohio State can do it.

as long as we don’t remember that 2 of those teams were having one of their worst seasons ever, and just remember the names, the legend of this season will continue to grow

Before the game...

Before the game, I saw a pictorial that Joe Paterno was a coach for the ages.

They got that one right.

this sets the table for the rest of the season. tOSU succeeded in shortening the game but we found a way to win.

Pitt lost to Rutgers today.

JoePa is Eighty-Fucking-Two, and 9-0.

No wonder they hate him.

Let me say it again

That’s it…

No more insecurity. It’s over.

Nothing left to do.

No one left to beat.

We’re back.

They did it for us. Awesome.

Booyah!

Nothing like sending the most obnoxious fanbase in college football to bed crying.

I was surprised PSU never got its offense going, though I had anticipated that OSU would chew up clock and play the field position game. I also had a gut felling Pryor was going to make a few mistakes. Finally, a team stepped up and punished him for his overconfidence. The forced fumble was pure karmic justice for Pryor’s comment that Big Ten play was like high school. Then Sargeant’s pick punished one last moon ball. It took until his final pass, but at least he got schooled. Those throws are kind of like changeups; once you know they’re coming, you will mash them up.

What impressed me most was the defensive game plan. They made Pryor throw by keeping contain with the pass rush and put 8 or 9 in the box on running downs. Pryor’s 3rd down conversions were frustrating, but the guy is a serious stud at finding an open man when linebackers get pulled up.

I’m fully appreciating this one. OSU will again be the team to beat next year, but this was a big time win in a tough environment.

Wasn't there a Nat'l Championship

in Miami no matter who was in the game? Why are the rates raising only becasue PSU won in the Shoe?

After what I saw

in Miami at the Orange Bowl in ’05.

PSU doesn’t just travel well, we literally TAKE OVER a city. I’ve never seen anything like it. We OWNED Miami for close to a week. It was Penn State’s personal playground and $ was not an object.

That’s why rates are going through the roof. Not that it’s right, but they know we’ll pay it.

Congrats PSU! Go make the big ten proud! I will be rooting for you. Don’t say OSU is overrated because we are now your best win.

Correct..

There are some folks that are just excited.

That was a great game.

That was one of the best college football games I’ve ever seen. As was Ohio State in 2005.

It’s somewhat blasphemy to say this, but I’m glad they’re in the Big Ten. The games Penn State has with them are just awesome.

by Bleed Blue 'n White on Oct 26, 2008 12:10 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

True,

plus it was a much harder win than I thought it was going to be. I thought we would score more points. I also thought we would give up some more than we did.

by bconway6 on Oct 26, 2008 12:22 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Points usually come from screwups on defense – missed tackles, blown coverage, etc. This game was perfectly played by Penn State (zero penalties!) and almost perfectly played by Ohio State.

Games like this are going to be low-scoring, regardless of how good the offenses are. When the defenses play that well, it’s going to be a field position game.

OSU needs a strong big ten

I hope you guys beat the crap out of Texas or Alabama. OSU needs a strong PSU and Michigan to achieve high rankings in the future.

You're screwed

The Big Ten stinks.

I think we can hang with any team in the country. But we are never going to get the benefit of the doubt.

Thank you!

She was even helping me and my 4 yr old with the old “WE ARE…” chant by then end of the game… She knows that if we go to the NC game we get a new flatscreen (of course I will not be here to appreciate it as I will try to be in Florida!)

um

Why do you get a new flatscreen if Penn State is going to the NC game, if you aren’t going to be around to appreciate it?

Hmm…maybe we all get new flatscreens? That would be nice, as I’m currently stuck with a 20" CRT tv that likes to randomly start showing the closed captioning, and I keep thinking of buying a new TV, or a “new” car, or something, but then I get suckered in by going to Penn State games, driving in my 1996 car that’s about to top 200k…but hey, at least I get to watch HD (spread), and maxdef (real life). I kinda wish I could zoom (perhaps binoculars? man I wish I thought of that earlier than 5 seconds ago…oh well)
