Penn State Football: 2016 B1G Champions - Page 54 - Single-Team Season Threads -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I had to look it up because I remembered a blowout. Turns out PSU scored 18 points in the fourth quarter during garbage time, so only lost by 3.

So it was a total beatdown, but the final score made it look closer than it really was.

Anyway congrats on your win yesterday.

Literally a close game throughout the entire 2nd half, with PSU in FG range for the tie late. Went for the kill shot instead and got picked in the end zone.

Yards, yards/play, first downs, etc. were basically identical. In the end, PSU had 4 turnovers and that cost them the game.

Seriously. He is doing things that I have never seen a running back do. Total package.

I really didn't think they had a play in them that would be effective on that last down. It won't be mentioned much but Barkley's block there was huge. Obviously incredible throw by McSorley as well... even though I do think he seems to have regressed a little overall since last year. Can't complain too much about that drive though.... championship caliber.

Either Harbaugh is a great QB coach and O'Korn is worse than Speight and just simply had a good day or OKorn is actually worse than Speight. Can't have it both ways.

Another game with a lot of slop and plenty to criticize. Sounds like Gesicki is gonna out for 6 weeks as well. Don't think we're elite tier this year unless Trace and the O-line can really step it up.... still fun to be 5-0 though

lets just get by NW for now. Good timing on the bye week for sure.
