Another good half of Football...

[pboiler18]

Do we fade or finish?

If we start finishing, Parker will warrant serious consideration as our HC moving forward. Like what I see.

I hope we keep playing hard. There's no doubt Parker gets these guys better prepared to play. We just don't have the horses.

PSU will put it together in the second half. Expect them to pound the ball hard into our under-sized DL. I expect them to score a couple more TD's and us a FG. That should take nothing away from our team's valiant effort and smart play. We need size & speed to win these types of games. Don't kid yourself, PSU is a very good team with lots of talent.

I would generally agree but our offense is out shining theirs today.

I agree. I do think our offense is looking better than theirs thus far. I just think we have a much smaller margin for error.

Have to keep scoring...because we know by default they will

Ironic as they have had 0 success pounding the ball on us. Anything Barkley has gotten has either been in the pass game or to the outside.

I don't think our lines are undersized at all...just not full of great athletes. Same can be said of the OL. Although McCann and Mendez look good and Inthink Barron is already playing at a level higher than Kugler did as a Sr...and Baron is still young

Think it might resemble the Nebraska game....stay in it, but time/fatigue catches up with the Boilers. Agree that Purdue has been burned much more in the pass game. A couple of turnovers could make the difference.

Blough went to that well too many times. Going to have to launch a few.

I'm not convinced Jones stepped out of bounds on 22. I would've loved those 7 points. We will need them.

Yea, there were two Penn State defenders in position to pick that one off.

They must have had an angle they didn't show on TV. Sure looked close enough to stop for review.

Once the whistle blows it's over.

I don't think he stepped out

Good point. Guess it didn't matter. Just a bad call.

 

[boilerpt]

Well, that score is on Marshall.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Can't give them the ball and expect to win. Absolutely need a score this possession or this thing gets out of hand.

Boom Baby!

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

Good call by the announcer "sniffing" the onside kick attempt.

No chance for recovery with that placement....I like taking the chance, though.

 

[BoilerBulldog]

Second TD that Bentley has blown coverage.

 

[Purdue Grad in Texas]

WOW.....nice resistance on that drive.....My Give Up!
