Hot damn this guy is awesome. 

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

WE ARE!!!!

 

[DocHolliday]

This team is resilient if nothing else. 

 

[James Daulton]

Holy #### what a game!

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Nobody breathe for the next two minutes and thirty seconds.

 

[James Daulton]

SC scored too fast.  PSU gonna win.

 

[mr. furley]

these PSU DB's making the Packers corners look like Hall of Fame locks

 

[mr. furley]

tough job finishing with two absolutely miserable throws that were totally unnecessary

 

[James Daulton]

WTF did that come from?

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

PSU just #### the bed.

 

[James Daulton]

Ugh, sorry PSU bros.  Your team gave us a fantastic entertaining game.  Great season and on the upswing no doubt.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Well guys, we have a hell of a future to build on the next few years.

That's all I've got right now.

John Reid went to my HS. Sad day, didn't go to PSU but rooting for him to do well. He's got lots of room to grow

He's had a hell of a year.

Fun game to watch. The PSU play calling was questionable for the fourth quarter but USC never quit. 

 

[Tin Cup]

Heck of a game, and heck of a season.

If any of you get a chance to go to a Rose Bowl, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat.  This was my 2nd one and although it was a disappointing ending to the game it was an awesome experience overall.  A personal highlight for me was getting to (briefly) meet Ronnie Lott.

Watching PSU show up biggly in the Rose Bowl and give us with SC probably the best bowl game this year, makes me even madder about them getting jobbed by the committee.

That said, watching tosu getting crushed wasn't bad.

That's THE 0SU to you. Change the O to zero.

 

[CentralPA]

That was one gut wrenching loss to watch.  Got way too conservative.  But give props to USC, their QB might be the No. 1 overall pick very soon.

As I've skimmed over the posts one thing is for certain, this class is going to do great things.  Getting healthy and experienced OL back, just about everyone back on D and O.  Then there is Barkley and McSorley.  This team is going to snap some necks and cash some checks.

Next year was supposed to be the year, but darn if 2016 didn't look real good even if it didn't end well.

If I were 0SU, I wouldn't count our game as an automatic win like they have been. Same for Michigan.

I don't think OSU is counting on PSU as an automatic win after losing the game in 2016.

What about maryland?

 

[E-Z Glider]

What about maryland?

Is Maryland our new "rival"? I see they have replaced Mich St as our final game on next year's schedule. 

 

[James Daulton]

Only if we decided we want to be your rival.  It's still under medium consideration.

OK, cool. Will we still have some goofy trophy to play for? College football won't be the same without the annual "Land Grant Trophy" game. 

 

[Tin Cup]

Good luck, Sickels & Godwin.  Thanks for helping get the program headed in the right direction again.

 

[CentralPA]

Amen, good luck to them in the NFL.

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Yep.  For some reason, I thought Godwin would stay.  Maybe for a shot at the National Championship.  As it is, good luck to both of them!

Blue-White Game on BTN right now. 

 

[Tom Servo]

Saquon up to 228 and 40 time down to 4.33. 

 

[Tom Servo]

95 with a FG to put Blue up 3-0. 

 

[Tom Servo]

Aaron Monroe with an interception of McSorley. Return called back by illegal block. Still 3-0 Blue   

 

[Tom Servo]

Punting competition among media members at halftime.  

 

[Tom Servo]

Davis with a second FG as time expires at the half. 6-0 Blue.

Oh! It's a punt FIELDING competition!!!

BTN reporter Spice Adams fails at fielding punt, then gets grilled by LaVar Arrington afterwards.    

 

[Tom Servo]

Jason Cabinda interviewed- he's been bulking up and learning to eat better. 

 

[Tom Servo]

Blue leads 13-0 after Tommy Stevens found Andre Robinson for a 9-yard TD pass. 36  seconds left in the third quarter. #PSUBlueWhite

 

[Tom Servo]

Matt Millen (FWIW) thinks that if the line fulfills its talent, Saquon could rush for 2,000 yards. 

 

[Tom Servo]

Estimated 71,000 fans at #PSUBlueWhite. 

 

[Tom Servo]

Tommy Stevens to Brandon Polk for a 31-yard TD pass. Team Blue leads 20-0 with 6:57 left in the fourth quarter. #PSUBlueWhite

 

[Tom Servo]

Tommy Stevens to Juwan Johnson for a 15-yard TD pass as time expires. Blue wins #PSUBlueWhite 26-0.

 

[Tom Servo]

Per Audrey Snyder:

Franklin said PSU will get their Big Ten title rings after this: "Once they get the rings and walk out of the building we're onto 2017."

 

[joffer]

Definitely excited about Tommy Stevens

Did Trace not play in the spring game? Outsider who really became a fan last year.

He played, but seemed off, maybe doesn't have timing down with new receivers yet.

 

[CentralPA]

I think that was the problem.  He did not look that great to me but at the same time it's just the Blue-White game.  He'll be fine.

My thoughts:

Backup TE behind Gelsiki looked awesome.

Robinson and Mark Allen looked good.  Nice to have great RB depth.

Not sure what to think of the starting OL.  McGovern should be fine at center.  If they can run block well look out.

If Trace leaves after this season we are in very good hands with Tommy Stevens.

I can't wait until #26 is back on the field for Akron.

PSU uniform  for the Indiana game. Love the updated number on the helmet!

Agreed.
