December 8, 2024Dec 8 Moderator What a waste of an excellent special teams play. 15 yard penalty by Harmon and then consecutive long runs by Penn St.

December 8, 2024Dec 8 They are just running over us! I am surprised? Looks like Oregon State running through us. We best score at least one more time
December 8, 2024Dec 8 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,
December 8, 2024Dec 8 Whole defense just looks inept defending the run, we'll lose in the playoffs if that's how it is, D-line getting bullies, LBs and safeties just making horrible decisions, no ability to get off blocks, embarassing.
December 8, 2024Dec 8 Moderator It’s not embarrassing, PSU is the 3rd ranked team in the country. They’re good.
December 8, 2024Dec 8 I'm afraid no lead is safe in this game. I still think we win this game tonight, but we have been exposed.
December 8, 2024Dec 8 That QB run is an example of what Mike West is worried about. Why didn't Ugielele feel compelled to set the edge? The lead blocker was outside him, and still he paused to make sure the QB couldn't cut back in. Yuck.

Still inexcusable, Penn St. Should've been under pressure pinned against the end zone instead of being given a lifeline. That was probably the biggest contributing factor to them scoring. Yeah I saw Cardwell start the 2nd half.
December 8, 2024Dec 8 Can we PLEASE stop the short passes to RBs and WRs? Edited December 8, 2024Dec 8 by OregonDucks
December 8, 2024Dec 8 Can we at least at some point fake the WR screen, because it makes no sense to continue to give up 2-4 yards on 1st down when it's so obvious their game plan is to stop that play.
December 8, 2024Dec 8 Stein is seing something that isn't there. How many times has the offense gotten into second and long tonight running it? Must be at least five. Edited December 8, 2024Dec 8 by AnotherOD
December 8, 2024Dec 8 A wide pass that gets a yard feels like massive victory, a loss feels normal. It's not spreading the field, it's just wasting downs. Of course for some reason Penn State should be pressuring every down. I don't know why they rushed 3 on the 3rd down play.

December 8, 2024Dec 8 Tez has been HUGE! So glad he’s back. Edited December 8, 2024Dec 8 by OregonDucks

December 8, 2024Dec 8 That was a B1G TD. Way to eat 6 minutes off the clock and finish the drive. DG to T-Ferg on another clutch conversion. Edited December 8, 2024Dec 8 by OregonDucks
December 8, 2024Dec 8 YES! In goes James! James looks so fresh tonight, like it's the first game of the year. Somehow I don't think that will be enough points, although it was huge that Penn State went for 2 and didn't get it. Defense at least needs to keep Penn State from big plays. Make them chew up the clock.
December 8, 2024Dec 8 Warren looks exhausted. Again this is 7th game in a row for State.and 11:30pm. Edited December 8, 2024Dec 8 by Solar
