WHEW

[ELCABALLO45]

Pryor completly lost this game for Ohio St.

[Derwood]

also, not a single holding penalty on either team the entire game? WTF?

[TruffleShuffle]

pryor lost the game.

 

freshman qb against a very good defense, not exactly a surprise.

 

iowa will still be a test. doesn't happen often but it sure feels good to beat these a-holes.

[RedFlash]

Another week, win or loss, that PSU can't overtake Alabama and Texas..........Should be a fun month or so of college football.

 

that's nice and all, but alabama is still the number 2 team in the sec.

 

That's debateable and not something I am willing to debate right now. Suffice to say, Alabama can and could be anytime in the SEC even Florida.

[Derwood]

in a year or two, Pryor is going to be a beast

[TruffleShuffle]

what the hell is going on

[ELCABALLO45]

Its hard to not feel good for JoePa

Either Penn State had better lose or Alabama and Texas had better win out. The last thing I want to see is another Big 10 team in the National Title game.

[RedFlash]

Pryor completly lost this game for Ohio St.

 

Yeah he did, but he will be torching Penn State/Michigan and the rest of the Big 10 for the next couple of yrs, tho. This is a good learning experience for the young man.

funny, that's the first thing I want :cool:

Iowa is the only team that stands between PSU and an appearance in the championship. I think they'll handle MSU fairly easily at home.

 

I think Iowa's defense will keep them in the game. It will depend on whether we can get the running game going or not. If PSU plays like they did tonight up front they'll probably win by two scores. I do think our o-line is better than OSU's though.

 

Let's just beat Illinois next week and make it a big game. The bye will help out PSU, but then again they may not want a week off the way they're rolling.

 

Either way I'm so glad it will be PSU representing the Big Ten rather than OSU. About time someone stepped up and knocked them off their throne. I can respect Penn State.

yeah there was one where our left end completely blew past their left guard and he was grabbed, it was on the outside of the line, well away from any other linemen. after they didn't call that one i assumed that there just wouldn't be any holding calls at all.

[Butterscup1679666578]

That's just the game Mizzou needed tonight. Beat the piss out of a bad team, and the D even got a shut out. Keep it going next weekend at Baylor.

 

P.S. Chase Coffman is god.

Heh, I think he's the 3rd best TE in the Big XII behind Pettigrew and Gresham.

 

Pettigrew: 27 rec. 298 yards 0 TDs (6 games)

Gresham: 29 rec. 467 yards 7 TDs (8 games)

Coffman: 63 rec. 749 yards 5 TDs (8 games)

 

*yawn*

Maybin got held pretty much every passing play

This 33-7 game felt like an exhibition win. Lots of playing time for second-teamers. Two touchdowns by Irish players scored without being touched by a UW defender. Ty getting called for a 12-men penalty on the first play of a drive (the week after being called for delay of game on the first play of the game). Huskies didn't make it past their own 44 until ND yanked the starters after going up 33-0. Davie fellating us the entire game.

 

Very satisfying. Three mediocre teams and a horrible one stand between us and USC.

our defense was great against the run but pretty lousy on the pass rush. you aren't going to be able to run a whole lot; wells and the osu o-line are probably better than their iowa counterparts, and we pretty much ate them up.

 

Let's just beat Illinois next week and make it a big game. The bye will help out PSU, but then again they may not want a week off the way they're rolling.

 

they had a couple of hiccups the last couple of weeks - didn't play very well in the first half tonight or against michigan in the first half. the bye week is good to let clark recover from having his bell rung, and just let the entire team take a week off before refocusing. i think the iowa game is a lot less risk of a hangover with a bye week in between.

 

 

Either way I'm so glad it will be PSU representing the Big Ten rather than OSU. About time someone stepped up and knocked them off their throne. I can respect Penn State.

 

thanks. i'm glad we can all agree on at least one thing, hating ohio state 8-)

I also agree on this, Ouck Fhio St.

Haha. I could actually believe that Greshman is just as good, but I don't understand the Pettigrew love. It's been going on for two years. Last year Pettigrew got First Team All-Big 12 (35 catches, 540 yards, 4 TDs) over Martin Rucker (84 catches, 834 yards, 8 TDs). I feel that I'm missing something on Pettigrew.

[Post Count Padder]

I know I'm a tad late to the party but....

 

 

GO PENN STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

I can still hear non-stop cheering and every person driving through State College is honking their horn repeatedly. It's mass chaos, and I like it.

You're probably right about OSU's line being better than Iowa's but I would take Greene over Wells.

[TruffleShuffle]

Pat Devlin came off the bench for injured starting quarterback Daryll Clark in the fourth quarter and leading two fourth-quarter scoring drives, sneaking in for the go-ahead touchdown to give No. 3 Penn State a 13-6 victory over No. 10 Ohio State on Saturday night.

 

am i missing something? everyone is giving devlin credit for leading a comeback; he threw one pass that resulted in a pass interference call, ran three QB sneaks (one for a TD), and then turned around and handed the ball off a bunch of times.

 

i guess they want to give credit to someone on the winning team, but probably the guy who should lead the story is mark rubin, who knocked the ball out when pryor was coming around the right side. ohio st had all the momentum after we missed a field goal, they had rushed for one first down and looked like they were headed for another. that totally turned the game around and gave the offense a short field to work with.

 

also, how did everyone miss what happened to clark? he got up slowly (though there was a pig pile, that's probably why they figured he got up slowly) and then one of the offensive lineman was holding up two fingers in front of clark's face.
