OregonDucks No. 148 Share Posted December 8 I don’t know how you can defend Oregon’s defense after this game. Penn State has only score more against: Kent (56) Purdue (49) Maryland (44) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike West No. 154 Share Posted December 8 I thought Whittington ran to the wrong hole on that first play, then delayed when PSU sealed the edge. Game of inches! Im impressed with Penn State, but I’m disappointed with some of the play from OBD. We reduce the mistakes, we sail to a simple victory. Now it’s up to having to make plays under pressure.

Solar No. 155 Share Posted December 8 Defense has struggled a lot this game. Every down is 4 down territory for State. Plenty of time left. We need a pick 1 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike West No. 174 Share Posted December 8 Now I’m going to nit pick. As a safety, when you have two deep, both safeties are responsible for the post, fade, corner or post corner routes. There is absolutely no reason to look at the QB. On the interception, Safety Johnson is looking right at the QB. When WB Allan throws the ball, Johnson is ten yards behind the play. If CB Reed doesn’t cover properly, that is either a deep completion or a TD. THAT IS HOW YOU LOSE FOOTBALL GAMES. For t’hose of you new to this forum, you have no idea how ticked off I get when I see this repeatedly. If I coached, you wouldn’t play performing like that. Furthermore, I would su=ingle it out in film study. I would alson[robe you can’t cover like that in practice every damn day. This is COVID, the Spanish Flu, WWI and WWII combined as far as I’m concerned. I will blow up an imagined universe if we lose again because of deliberate coverage policies like that ( see my comments about a safety I will not name that ran past a game sealing interception because he looked at the damn QB instead of taking away his option to throw that ball). I absolutely hate the way safeties, corners and linebackers cover receivers. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan2785 No. 175 Share Posted December 8 Great game by Gabriel, delivered throw after throw. Stayed so calm in the pocket, moved to the spots where he could get the ball out, just an awesome job where we needed every pass we got form him. Offense obviously stepped up in the last two games. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittDuck No. 177 Share Posted December 8 The much maligned (by some of us) defense pulls it off! Nobody left that game til it was over, that for sure!

TerryM9 No. 180 Share Posted December 8 On 12/7/2024 at 8:00 PM, Mike West said: Why are we running a 2-5? Worse, Lupoi is leaving a B gap wide open ( for those grey beards out there that played offense-a natural 24 run is there for the taking). For those of you not familiar with running plays-the area between the right guard and the right tackle is complete uncovered on this drive. Explains the gashing explosive runs. I’m a put five guys in the LOS on defense. Always, Hey Guys----- The Ducks are Big 10 Champs!!!!!!!!! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
