Game Thread: Michigan State week/game thread

[linebackeru]

PSU had a good bye week, moved up several spots in polls. Sparty rolls into town a 2 TD underdog and banged up across the lines. Hopefully PSU has spent the last 2 weeks being pissed off and channels that into a curb stomp of Sparty to claim the ugliest trophy in sports, the Land Grant.

PSU 48-13

Hamler and Simmons officially back

 

[linebackeru]

I'll go 45-20 Lions.

Wait, this week I'm the optimist? Now I have a bad feeling about this!

PSU needs to get their shit together at the half. Offense (outside of Sanders) has looked absolutely terrible.

Trace McSorley sets all-time Penn State passing record as PSU is up14-7 entering the third quarter.

EXcellent INT by the D. First Down PSU going the other way!! G.Taylor to MSU 35 for 37 yards.

 

[Retroram52]

Another dropped pass by a Michigan State receiver pops up in the air and this one leads to a Penn State interception.

 

[Retroram52]

Now that was stupid. Franklin once again just doesn't get the job done on a 4th down try. Turnover on Downs! Penn State goes for it on 4th down and Willekes gets the sack! MSU ball at own 36.

 

[Retroram52]

Now we are back to holding on defense. Are we trying to lose this game?

 

[Retroram52]

The D gives up another big play that leads to another Michigan score. Just stupid on Franklin for effing-up that 4th down try!

 

[Retroram52]

Mixup in the secondary leaves Felton Davis open for the Michigan score.

 

[AlistairChiss]

4th quarter team.... I keep repeating that over and over again.... Whatever happened to second half team?

 

[Retroram52]

Tie game.

 

[AlistairChiss]

Can somebody please remind me which of these two teams is missing 4 starters and which team had two weeks to prepare?

 

[Retroram52]

STs sleep-walking as they missed on the fumble.

 

[Retroram52]

I think the character of this team is becoming increasingly evident of poor leadership by one HC Franklin.

 

[Retroram52]

Penn State's failed third downs racking up. 21 of the last 26 have come up short. This falls at the feet of poor coaching and preparation.

 

[Retroram52]

The D finally holds on a poor throw by Lewerke.
