Predicting Penn State's Offensive Scripts since 2005!
Ok we own these next 3 quarters and win by 25
How could Nixon know so little about Watergate and so much about football ?
and I thought I was pissed . . .
watching the OSU game. Terrible start. Bowman can’t get off blocks, Clark is pressing. Special teams are anything but . . . d@mn.

This is the curse of penis boy
Hopefully it’s all just a part of our repeating plan to make IU look good in the first half each year only to beat them senseless in the 4th quarter!
By the way, "12-0" above apparently refers to the final score of this game.

is that our 5 year plan?
Predicting Penn State's Offensive Scripts since 2005!
So we run between the tackles twice with Green and then throw a screen to Royster. Is our coaching staff hungover?
Dude, where have you been?

That was one of the most productive punt returns we’ve had all season.

I was just thinking that
we gained 2 yards on the fumble of the fair catch….looks like we got a return game now guys
If they put the ball on the ground one more time
I swear I’ll freaking drive up there and rip their arm out of the socket and beat them over the head with it! Seriously, somebody take these guys to the sideline and give them a verbal beating that they will feel for the rest of their lives!!!

Not a chance Jay gets to coach this team
if he does, then I will stop sending them my money
over Bradley or Johnson?
I just can’t see it.
There’d be a massive fallout with the NLC dues paying alumni
meaning play action deep
Predicting Penn State's Offensive Scripts since 2005!
We need to get Moye involved
Of course if we go to someone else and they score too. I think we should do that also
Lets feed Royster on this drive
through the air, on the ground, anyway possible. Let him control the clock and get a score.
I'm sorry
But there is something insanely funny about that shot of the crowd where only one person cheered the 19 yard run.

Don't let Clark pass the rest of the half
Run the ball. Clearly his head isn’t on straight in the 1st half.
Honestly I don't care
He’s shown that he’s not all there more often than not this half. Calm him down and let the running game take over.
with the way Clark stared him down
I was almost able to make a play on the receiver from Philly

There isn’t another PSU receiver on that side of the field. Mason’s right about that — the safety didn’t have to worry about anything else.

Then there are clearly some problems
I'm not watching the game but
Bill Lynch can’t complain about anything. We’ve handed this game to him on a platter and his boys aren’t getting it done. I smell a 2nd half beatdown coming. Somebody might get hurt!!

2) You played Ohio State this year. If they don’t call holding on every play on OSU, you aren’t going to get a play like that be called as holding.

My 3-year-old just asked me “Daddy, are you happy now?” This after the events of 20 minutes ago, where he said “Daddy, settle down – you don’t have to hurt the washing machine” after one of those 6 septillion fumbles.
hahahahahaha
Daddy? Are you please going to stop beating mommy now? It’s not her fault those stupid nittany lions can’t hold a ball!!!

mommy’s out spending money today with our daughter……..just the 3 boys, doing some male bonding over some turdtastic PSU football!
Joe was right again
No need for a special teams coach ! Arghhhhh!
"I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence." El Diablo
Keep sending Zug back
I bet he can beat Lowry’s record.
Wisconsin isn't as good as their record indicates.
Having said that, I hope Michigan misses out on a bowl again. Couldn’t happen to a nicer program!
I'm just curious
and perhaps I shouldn’t poke the bear, but what would this mythical special teams corch do that would make us teh awesomes(!!!) on ST all of a sudden?
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
Well is it a "scheme" that can be taught
or is it just a lack of specialized talent and/or execution?
I’m not saying that I enjoy watching what we’re throwing out now, but I’m not convinced that paying someone to focus on our special teams would necessarily fix all the problems we’ve had.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
I believe
special teams is way more important these days than in years past. At the same time, Zug does not have the build or the speed to return punts.
"I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence." El Diablo
Honestly I have no clue what's wrong
I can’t think of any team in the country that has the talent we have, but struggles so much on special teams. It makes no sense. We’ve got the players, so one has to assume it’s the scheme, plus the coaches’ baffling insistence on not putting someone with speed back on returns.
Do I know what rhetorical means?
Perhaps
he would devise a plan other than sending random fumblers and fair catch droppers onto the field ?
"I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence." El Diablo
I'm beginning to understand why we drop back 2 guys on punts
So the other guy can recovery the fumble. See, Joe knows what he’s doing!
by RNF18 on Nov 14, 2009 1:34 PM EST reply actions 1 recs
Seriously are we gonna see Brown back on punts yet
I mean its kinda obvous that Zug and Astorinino would have no idea how to protect the ball since they havent moved their feet with the ball in their hands all year after fielding the punt.
I'm with you on that
at this point, Brown can do no worse.
Also, I’m curious to see who they send out for the kick off returns now that Powell is down and likely out for the game.
"In the beginning the Universe was created.

the other choice would usually be AJ Wallace I think

I have a theory
let me know if you agree.
In 2005 the cupboard was so bare Joe had to play his best talent even if they were freshman and sophs, however now that he has depth he goes with the older guys if the gap isn’t that big. Therefore I don’t think we are always ptting the best talent out on the field
which is why
we are seeing guys like Zug returning punts………..so dumb

Why doesn’t he have a problem taking at a RB if they fumble once or twice. But he’s so loyal to a punt returner?
