Week 2 Other Games

[hokiegrad]

Penn St just went up 7-0 in the 1st. 17 play drive to start the game.

 

[hokiegrad]

fumble! Penn St. has the ball deep in UVA territory.

 

[hokiegrad]

missed field goal, wide left from 40 yds. PSU gave up a key sack on 3rd down when the OL let someone through unblocked. Again. Same thing happened on the first drive, but they were able to overcome it. Not this time. They will have to get that fixed.

 

[hokiegrad]

Clemson is on the board with a quick Ellington TD against Ball St, but they boot the PAT wide. 6-0.

 

[hokiegrad]

KSU up 14-0 early on Miami.

 

[hokiegrad]

Rocco had a guy open on 3rd and 3 but threw a very wobbly pass that came up short. Punted back to PSU.

 

[hokiegrad]

Announcer's comment "Virginia looks bad... Rocco does not look like a veteran QB running this team". This after a miscommunication between Rocco and a receiver. I think that's probably overstating it a bit. And then Rocco picks up the 1st down. UVA has made several mistakes... and as soon as I type that there's a false start. But PSU is looking beatable as well. Which team can correct their mistakes? And... UVA drops a deep pass.

 

[hokiegrad]

Rocco had a man open on 3rd down on a long crossing pattern, but overthrew him and they have to punt it away. Ball takes a PSU bounce and goes into the end zone for a touchback.

 

[hokiegrad]

lol... studio guy just said that USCe was up 14-0 "on their in-state rivals" playing ECU. Umm, they're not in the same state or rivals.

 

[hokiegrad]

UVA made a very nice stop on the WR screen there to force a PSU punt. But PSU fakes the punt and picks up the first down on a direct snap to one of the protection guys.

 

[hokiegrad]

UVA just penalized for sideline interference. They are making a good play and then making a big mistake, over and over again.

 

[hokiegrad]

UVA got very lucky with the PSU QB having to leave the game for a 4th down attempt that they were unable to convert when the freshman QB replacement overlooked an open receiver. But then on consecutive plays UVA takes a loss on a run, has a WR drop a perfect throw, and then Rocco's pass is tipped and intercepted at the line.

 

[hokiegrad]

PSU misses the 38 yd FG attempt. Neither team wants to win this game, it would seem...

 

[hokiegrad]

This was unexpected... MD has given up only 17 yds to Temple and leads 19-3 after picking up a safety.

 

[hokiegrad]

PSU drops a TD pass and then lets time expire before they can attempt another FG.

Miami puts together a nice last-minute-of-the-half drive but only gets a FG when they run out of time. Trails 24-6 and will need to make significant changes on D at the half. And stop fumbling (2 giveaways).

Clemson scores again and leads 28-10 with more than 8 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. Ball St. has not been able to stop the Boyd-Hopkins connection (5 rec, 90 yds, 2 TDs).

MD leads 26-3 at the half. Completely dominating Temple.

BC has only allowed 17 yds to Maine, but trails 3-0 in the 1st after 2 fumbles.

 

[hokiegrad]

PSU's kicking game is terrible... missed a 3rd FG, and then have a PAT blocked when they score. PSU up 13-10 now.

 

[wildturkey]

PSU vs UVA isn't even enjoyable. It's just sad. Granted we're playing like shit today as well but still. Maybe there's something in the air in the state of Virginia today that's preventing functional offenses

 

[hokiegrad]

PSU finally made a FG from 32 yds. Was real ugly, but it went through. This was off UVA's 4 turnover of the day. You're right, wildturkey... that game is pretty sad.

 

[hokiecat]

UVA is just a wreck. We should just send the PSU-UVA game to all the recruits were are where we going head-to-head.

Great catch by Corey Fuller.

Also, can the NCAA just give da U the death penalty? How can a team cheat so much and still be so awful?
