Penn State Throttles The Zips 31-7


Penn State cruised to a convincing win over the Akron Zips on the back of a dominating defensive effort in the first half. The offense sputtered at times, but other times looked sharp in rolling up 31 first half points.

Penn State looked crisp to start the game with a seven play 84 yard drive capped off by a five yard touchdown run by Evan Royster. The drive started with a nice naked bootleg to Joe Suhey, and also featured a deep throw over the middle to Derek Moye. Later in the quarter Clark connected with Chaz Powell on a nine yard touchown pass in the back of the endzone.

But there were times the offense looked off in the first half. Clark was overthrowing some guys and forcing a few throws into coverage having one pass to Chaz Powell tipped in the air and intercepted near the goal line. The offensive line looked good on pass protection, but Evan Royster and Stephfon Green were having difficulty finding holes to run through. And then Colin Wagner shanked his first field goal attempt.

The story of the first half was the Nittany Lion defense. The defensive line dominated the Zips not allowing the ball carriers to cross the line of scrimmage, and not allowing Jaczuemain any time to throw. Penn State held Akron to just eight total yards and minus 15 yards rushing and no first downs in the first half. Latimore and Latham recorded sacks while Odrick, Ogbu, and Crawford were living in the backfield stuffing the running plays. Andrew Dailey had a key interception.

It looked like the offense was going flat in the second quarter when they were stopped on 3rd down on their own 47 yard line. Then Joe Paterno called a rare fake punt to Andrew Dailey who picked up 37 yards and a first down. That was the spark the offense needed to come to life. Penn State drove down to kick a field goal for a 17-0 lead. And then they scored touchdowns on their next two drives. Clark connected with Derek Moye on a 22 yard touchdown pass and then connected with Graham Zug on a 19 yard strike. The latter was set up just before the half by a pretty 42 yard pass from Clark to Moye.

The second half wasn't much to speak of. Akron abandoned the rushing game and started to find some space against the bend-but-don't-suck defense. The offense tried to get back to basics. The offense was having a lot of success with a lot of gimmick plays in the first half. Naked bootlegs, play action passes, and end arounds were fooling the Zips. In the second half they tried to get back to power football, and the results were disappointing as Penn State couldn't open up holes for Royster and Green to exploit.

Overall it was a good first game. Daryll Clark finished the day with 353 yards and 3 TD passes on 29-of-40 passing. Evan Royster had a modest 63 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. Penn State handled Akron as they should have. But there is a lot to work on in the running game and the timing in the passing offense.

tOSU shouldn’t have gotten cocky and gone for it on 4th and 1 (or 4th and 2, whatever it was). Kick a FG there and go up by three scores late and they’d have broken the resolve of Navy. Instead, they fail to get the 1st, Navy gets momentum and scores quickly. Lousy call by Tressel.

Quick Thoughts

1. DC17 has got to get more accurate and consistent. there were no less than 6 passes today that had he led the receiver would have been big gains. He consistently underthrew or missed his mark. That being said, when does a PSU QB throw for 353 yards?

2. Royster and Green need to turn upfield quicker. They both looked like they were dancing rather than hitting a hole. Will it come with time?

3. Sean Lee looked as good as my feeble memory remembers him. The defensive front 7 looked great all around. A very positive day.

4. WR’s were adequate to good….Moye especially looked good. He has the potential of beinga real game changer, which we need.

5. Mike McQuerry has gained weight….Coach been hitting cheesesteaks a little too much. But I digress

What do you expect?

Clark missed some throws, but he made just as many top class pitch and catch plays. No biggie there.

O-line was the biggest problem here, not so much Royster and Green. If anything, Green wasn’t letting the opening develop and turned upfield too fast. Royster did fine with what he was given.

Syracuse

Why? Because of Minnesota? Minnesota sucks. Don’t base anything on their record last season — you know hoe many teams they beat with winning records? One, Florida Atlantic at 7-6. And they didn’t exactly dominate the mediocre teams they did beat. Minnesota is a 4 or 5 win team at most, so them playing a close game at Cuse (in a pretty full stadium, it seemed) probably says very little about the ability of the Orange to play PSU tough in Happy Valley. If anything, it’ll probably give Cuse a false sense of hope.

We’re gonna roll.

Okay

Iowa blocked the kick, but the refs said UNI gets the ball back for some reason, now they’re reviewing it.

DO YOU HAVE PRIDE, DANNY?

by ReadingRambler on Sep 5, 2009 3:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

Quick recap of goings on

UNI driving down the field, down by 1. Try the field goal on 1st down. It’s blocked by Iowa, and UNI lands on the blocked ball.

Ruling is, since it was first down, and because the kick itself never crossed the line of scrimmage, UNI gets the ball back where it was recovered.

Review right now is for a few things – check to make sure it didn’t cross the line of scrimmage, actual amount of time left on the clock.

If a player tries to recover a deflected FG than its a live ball.

Usually the ball bounces downfield, a player flops on it.. doesn’t hold it and the team gets a first down if they recover it..

by dyehardfan on Sep 5, 2009 3:21 PM EDT reply actions  

Correct

It’s the old Leon Lett move. On a blocked FG, if the defense touches the blocked FG, it becomes a live ball. If they then fumble the ball, or not recover it cleanly, and the kicking team recovers, the kicking team gets the ball back.

Ever since Leon Lett booted a blocked FG and Miami recovered for a TD to win the game, nobody touches a blocked FG…

I’m sure everyone will focus on Minny, Iowa, and even Ohio State. But no one will mention Michigan State’s killing, Purdue lighting it up, and our first half. From what I can tell, it seemed like we hit the brakes in the second half and coasted, rather than absolutely murder the Zips. Sportsmanship, et al. Ohio State probably held back as well, not wishing to show their hand before hosting USC. I don’t think this looks as awful as what we’re going to catch. Iowa and Minnesota look like clowns, yes, but I think rational people recognize they aren’t anything but middle-of-the-conference programs.

ESPN story said he was bothered by a sore right groin. Take from that what you will.

I have a gut feeling Tech is in trouble.

so first Temple loses to 'Nova

and now Virginia is losing to Bill and the Bitch William and Mary. What the hell is with teams losing to 1AA FCS teams. Weak sauce

And they might have just had the nail in the coffin

Looks like W&M just had a pick 6 to make it 26-14 with 2:39 left in the game.

In less surprising upsets, Duke is currently losing to Richmond.

oh yeah... forgot about that one

that Virginia deal is really pathetic… I am glad for B and the B but I feel a bit of sadness for the ACC as a whole…

ok… it passed… let the ACC ridicule continue

if they could both lose that would be great by me, too

Looks like the Mormons might do it again. 14-13 over Oklahoma, who were three touchdown favorites.

Can SOMEBODY AT ESPN FINALLY start talking about how Oklahoma chokes and is overrated? Please please pretty please?

No

Built in excuse: Bradford got injured.

Sorry.

No way!

Bradford got hurt…that’s the reason ESPN will use for the loss. BYU played them tough, but the media will still have the Okies highly rated.

It will be very curious to see how they do the next few weeks w/o Bradford if indeed his shoulder is seriously hurt . I am pulling hard for tha Hokies right now.

 I think PSU jumps OSU in the poll, and Oklahoma drops out of the top ten.

Still up

I’ve given up on the Cal/Maryland game – as you mentioned, it’s more than disgusting. However, I do have some credit, Jahvid Best is quite the talent.

Anyone else think

Purdue might turn some heads this season? Yes, it’s only one game against a MAC team, so we’ll know more next week. But they looked pretty efficient with young Wilford Brimley as the new HC. Any chance they might be this year’s jNW or Minny?

Their season could be kinda like Tiller’s first season, when they finished a lot better than was expected. They also beat ND that year…
