Damn. Gotta board a plane soon.
Fying Continental so it’d be great if this was one of the new planes with the DirecTV in the seatbacks.
Flight down wasn’t, so I’m not holding my breath. Continental sucks.
Ahhhh My Groin!
That’s what I yelled on McGloin’s TD and INT. Exactly as I’d intended if Millzner’s master plan came to fruition. Hate to say it, but McGloin has a lot of that QB14 f—- it I’m going deep attitude.

Considering how good the defensive tackles are..
I’m amazed at how bad this defense looks.
Figures that when Rob finally starts coming into his own...
albeit vs the not so Golden Gophers, he ends up getting concussed.
"You can commit no mistake and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life." - Jean-Luc Picard
Our DT's are excellent pass rushers..
The ends don’t serve any purpose.. They should really drop them into coverage and zone blitz all the time.
Bleeping tackle...
That should have been no gain.

It'd be nice if Bradley would adjust to personnel...
Go to a 3-4 or a 3-3-5 and roll up the safeties/corners. If our LB’s aren’t physical enough to stop this run in a 4-3 there is no point to not having more speed on the field.

The NW offense..
It’s basically standard Big 10 fare but out of spread sets.. So it runs the plays we are drilled to stop, but while forcing us to play Nickel and put faster guys on the field.. which is what we want the D to do anyways.. The routes are all just stop routes, hitches, and crosses.. Everything our LB’s sit on. As opposed to the deep outs, posts, and hitch and go’s that thrash us against talented pro-style offenses..
Illinois beating up IU pretty good. So maybe we can beat them.

Don't spin REDD! No McCoo crap.
never again.
Newsome back,
is this the B&W game. What a joke.

Drink everytime they say
Minn is searching for a new coach
Why are we calling timeout..
Run the damn zone read..
Penn State just called a timeout…
Obviously, Minnesota will hire John L. Smith to be their next head football coach.

Good early on
The passing on first down was a great idea.
Running game was struggling which doesn’t help him. But over all looked good coming out of the bye week.
Who coaches him?

It was your logic.
You were trying to judge his ability as a coach on Newsome’s throwing ability and walkon MyGroin (who has thrown 2 TD passes).

One
Was a play where the d bit HARD on the play action. Great play call I’ll admit. The second one was very close…..Good thing the WR is 6’5"
That's how the play is drawn up.
I’m not saying MyGroin is amazing (I actually he hate the way he just chucks it up), but they are getting the most out of him that they can at this point.

the same guy
that coached Robinson and Clark.
And Robinson was a FB in the NFL and Clark
is not in the league
Which means they were bad college QBs?

by PSUinBOSSton on Oct 23, 2010 2:43 PM EDT up reply actions
so we judge QBs by NFL success now?
not what they actually did on the field in a PSU uniform?
Well
Some people like to point out all of the NFL linebackers and use that as a measuring stick. Linebacker-U etc etc.
People point out all the NFL DEs that LJ has put into the league.
So by that same token you’d like to see other positions have success in the NFL.
So that cancels out what they did in college?
I’m not following your logic. Jay coached them in college and got results when they played for him. Shouldn’t that point to Jay being a good coach since he got the most out of his talent?
have you met brd199 before?
he is one of those fans who hates the team he says he roots for
and everything about them, including
-the fans (kool aid drinkers, all of us!)
-the players – GARBAGE
-the coaches – FIRE JOE! Jay = nepotism
Whatever
Seriously, though
How do you explain Bolden then? He looked great while he was in. You are excellent at not answering questions that don’t support your own viewpoint.
So then I guess I still don't understand the JayPa criticism
McGloin’s a walk-on. Do you honestly expect better than he’s shown today?
he doesn't look very strong though.

not possible on the HIT program, right?

Well
Many people argue the strength and conditioning program. So to take one play from one player as your datapoint is a bit biased.
Would you explain the offensive line getting thrown around which is the main issue Royster has so many problems?
Didn't somebody look it up and found 40% of NFL teams use HIT?

If there are solid statistics on that
I’d like to see the numbers.
I’d also be curious as to how many D1 teams use HIT compared to other systems.
Yeah,
I’m repeating someone here who said they looked it up to support the idea that it was a bad program. I don’t recall who, but the claim was like “HIT is terrible did you know 60% of all NFL teams don’t use it.”

this is probably the hottest debate topic in the sports fitness world
from the things I;ve read, the 40/60 ratio sounds right.
yeah this OL stinks.
and my theory is their position coach stinks.

I think position coach is more likely cuplrit than strength training.
They seem to have a lot of mental errors.

Ummm, Freshman
give him a few more years to bulk up.
Redd with a big gain!

Redd tripped over the blocker down field at least - still not good but not quite Roysteresque yet!

I was referring to the previous play
He lost his balance before he was hit by anyone, somehow he gains another 10 yards after that though.

Wait
Are they just playing musical chairs with the QBs? And a false start?
Can we please put Wagner in at QB
or is JoePa too old and stupid to do this? I mean, come on. Put your best player in at QB its OVBIOUS

What up with dat
before the false start Royster was at RB then they pulled him for Redd
Nice throw.. I stand corrected..
Game over..
Wow
A bit risky…thought the CB was gonna snag that.
Looks like PSU wins this game ….run out the clock take some knees
FAVRE IS BACK IN TOWN.

Stats to year
Minni gives up on AVERAGE:
238.6 passing yards
141.6 rushing yards
And gives up 31.7 points per game.
This is taking into consideration games against Middle Tennessee and South Dakota.
So really….these stats for this game could be seen as a bit misleading
Or could indicate that we are very average,
since those two teams probably were on the lower end of their opponents.
