LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/PSU632]

Holy shit, what a play call.

[u/ChrisIlitchBurner]

That was pretty smooth.

[u/EyeWasAbducted]

So offense gets better, defense gets worse. Got it. 

[u/cpashei]

Something tells me we won't have 3 weeks of threads here about that egregious clock issue by the refs

[u/gopoohgo]

Playing Katie Perry after any cat football team scores is a war crime

[u/randus12]

Tyler Warren special for that 2 pt

[u/BarfedUpHeart]

I can't believe this team converted that. I would have bet $1000 that wasn't going to happen.

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

WE GOT A UTAH PASS

[u/ISU_Dude85]

I'll give Mouser credit, that was a nice play call on the conversion.

[u/Alpine_Exchange_36]

Kinda funny how Underwood goes out and both teams get better

[u/Omars_Comin_]

These refs suck. Several no calls for DPI on Penn State and now no delay of game. All right in front of the refs.

[u/sportsfan113]

Don’t give me hope

[u/picklesarenotokay]

Schrodingers Jyaire Hill.

He’s both an asset and a liability until you open the box put him in 1-on-1 coverage.

[u/Similar-Ostrich4142]

That was an clean play call

[u/meherab]

Whittingham is probably unaware it was a delay of game

[u/iwantlawschule]

Bryce getting benched fired up both teams for some reason. 

[u/PreCooledPigeon]

Beautiful play call. We could never

[u/ID10T-ERROR8]

The whole logic of the delay of game being reliant on an official seeing the clock then looking at the ball and throwing a flag is so stupid.

Why not just have a horn or buzzer like a shot clock in other sports?

[u/lijijil]

We got a game now eh

[u/golfinghawkeye]

We have a ballgame

[u/yukoncowbear47]

Actually can't believe we got a touchdown and a 2 pt

[u/EfficiencyDue7770]

idiots

[u/rhymeswithtag]

gifted a first down after a clear delay of game lmfao

[u/theblindbandit51]

Haha. Let’s get drunk

[u/111111ok]

run it

[u/darthnyan39]

Delay of game smh

[u/PerplexingHunter → u/darthnyan39]

Just an extra second what’s the big deal?

[u/azsoup]

It’s the hope that kills ya

[u/CygnusTM]

Ok. That was a nice play call.

[u/vespertine-spine]

hey we did a thing

[u/anonmac2413 → u/vespertine-spine]

Holy flairs

[u/Ok_Lawfulness758]

I think we just paid back that extra second we borrowed. We’re all good now

[u/rmr236 → u/Ok_Lawfulness758]

Touché.

[u/USA_2_Canada_1]

“DDUURRRR BUT PSU GOT AN EXTRA SECOND DURRRRRR”

[u/Commercial_Wheel1882]

Amazing that they miss the delay of game and instead PSU gets a fresh set of downs. I don’t want to hear any bitching out of the Penn State fans

[u/cheesepuff1993 → u/Commercial_Wheel1882]

Can we bitch about the ass play on offense?

[u/NoahPete]

Refs have been dogshit everywhere this year

[u/ReasonableCup604]

The refs took back our extra WMU second.

[u/cheesepuff1993]

This is a sad game...

[u/Almost_Punk_Enough]

It’s crazy that delay of game isn’t called until the ref looks up at the clock and sees it’s at 0. You’d think it’d be easy for them to have a buzzer for it.

[u/Doctor_Kataigida → u/Almost_Punk_Enough]

Shot clock play clock when?

[u/Almost_Punk_Enough → u/Doctor_Kataigida]

Should’ve been put in years ago tbh

[u/ComradeIroh]

We won’t get this two though

[u/Live-End-5227]

So...Defense is ass now? Wtf?

[u/giggitybuck]

I was under the impression that michigan likes extra seconds

[u/ixMyth]

B1G refs lmao

[u/djbernie]

Guess Vegas called

[u/BarKnight]

Wait Penn State got an extra second?

[u/realPamela]

That’s payback for the W. Michigan game. Lololll

What Zeroes on the clock you talking about???

[u/Maheraga]

I'm not going to bring it up, bit we all know what should of happened that last play

[u/kpiech01]

Gifted TD

[u/WWF80sKid]

Bet. Now put my quarterback back on the field. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[u/michicago44]

Absolute horseshit

[u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

Is Hill the worst player we’ve had to wear #0?

[u/Numerous-Ad6460 → u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756]

Absolutely 

[u/Drumhard]

Is now when we complain about the extra second PSU got?

[u/greengosgarage]

And now a false start by the RB not called leaving forward before the snap

[u/Amen_ds]

Cbs broadcasts are a joke

[u/MaximusStirner → u/Amen_ds]

used to be the gold standard, now it's indistinguishable from the BTN

[u/CheckItWhileIWreckIt]

These refs are fucking cheeks

[u/Beardr8]

That's some bullshit..

[u/Bud3131123]

Well Gene can kick rocks.

[u/soxfannh]

Lol these refs are missing blatant calls like the delay of game...

[u/USA_2_Canada_1]

Funny how it’s okay for the refs to make that mistake when it’s against Michigan huh

[u/max_potion]

Michigan fans should know the clock on the feed is not the same as on the field. C’mon guys

[u/PreCooledPigeon → u/max_potion]

So you agree

[u/Appropriate_Bottle44]

They didn't get that play off and I thought I heard the whistle.

[u/QkuiglieQ]

Was that not a delay?

[u/SkolUMah → u/QkuiglieQ]

You get an extra second if you play against Michigan now

[u/I_Love_You_Sometimes → u/QkuiglieQ]

Always add an extra second to the clock

[u/QkuiglieQ → u/I_Love_You_Sometimes]

Lol

[u/CygnusTM]

Fuck the refs

[u/jeff_barr_fanclub → u/CygnusTM]

Yes, but not for that. The delay rules are incredibly dumb, the short version is that it's all all up to the official to see 0, look over, and still see the ball un-snapped.

[u/djbernie]

Man that was definitely a delay of game

[u/scgavin]

why on earth did this Sowell guy follow Becht to psu

[u/CheckaDeTetas → u/scgavin]

Some people are natural born leaders

[u/SkolUMah]

Pretty weak tbh

[u/klembcke]

How'd they not call delay of game?

[u/youDontgetThe_Show]

Does MC know how many timeouts you get per half? This is inexcusable

[u/Numerous-Ad6460]

Hill sucks ass man

[u/landshanties]

DELAY OF GAME?????? HELLO??????????

[u/OMG_IM_A_GIRL]

Been a couple missed delay of games in this game.

[u/Straight_Cost_3635]

These fucking refs are so fucking bad today it’s insane

[u/yukoncowbear47]

Michigan didn't even need to hold there no way that wild ass pass was going to be caught

[u/LonghornInNebraska → u/yukoncowbear47]

Never should have been a play

[u/prismatic_lights]

Michigan flairs suddenly care about the sanctity of the clock.

[u/AAuser85 → u/prismatic_lights]

Yes, the actual clock, you idiot

[u/ddottay]

Remember Michigan fans, don’t believe the tv broadcast play clock.

[u/diisguy → u/ddottay]

Fuck

[u/kpiech01]

oh look the penalties are back

[u/SgvSth]

Penn State gets the benefits there. No Delay of Game + getting the Holding penalty.

[u/go_awry → u/SgvSth]

Glass houses

[u/Taako_Cross]

We got a huge break. Should have been a delay of game.

[u/huds9113 → u/Taako_Cross]

Naw, it’s the imaginary stadium clock second

[u/Squanto_XD]

Did I not hear a whistle to blownthe play dead?

[u/randus12]

That was a flag the instant the ball was snapped

[u/sportsfan113]

Somehow we’re still in this lol

[u/SCsprinter13]

Doesn't look good when your jersey needs to be fixed after the play and you never went to the ground

[u/EyeWasAbducted]

How about a fucking delay of game holy shit 

[u/PSUNittany18]

These refs are horrible lol

[u/EfficiencyDue7770]

stupid ass refs

[u/PreCooledPigeon]

THE CLOCK SAID ZERO IT SHOULVE BEEN CALLED DEAD GUESS THE REFS TIME IS DIFFERENT HUH

[u/TheMooseGuy97]

HOW THE FUCK IS IT A PENALTY WHEN THE PLAY CLOCK WAS AT 0?!?

[u/Independent_Trip_892]

I thought i heard a whistle right before they snapped

[u/picklesarenotokay → u/Independent_Trip_892]

I heard it too and was confused

[u/USA_2_Canada_1]

Blatant delay of game that gets looked past but yeah guys it’s just Michigan cheating as always right

[u/surgingchaos]

How was that not delay of game?

[u/huds9113 → u/surgingchaos]

The game is at Michigan. The broadcast clock is apparently still 1 second behind the stadium clock 😂

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil]

Not convinced Rocco can read a clock

[u/razor21792]

You. Fucking. Idiot.

[u/boxman151515]

Snapped that like four seconds after the play clock ended but OK

[u/iwantlawschule]

They didn’t even get the play off. Oof

[u/CenturyLinkIsCheeks]

hmmm what did the stadium play clock say on that one

[u/Simmumah]

How on earth was that not delay of game

[u/Taako_Cross]

HOLY FUCK WHAT ARE THEY DOING

[u/EfficiencyDue7770]

are you fr

[u/Madball73]

delay first

[u/michicago44]

That was delay of game wtf?

[u/StepmaniaGod]

That was delay of game by 2 seconds

[u/Mercury1750]

That should have been delay

[u/EffectiveSupport5865]

Delay of game?

[u/AAuser85]

Not sure what TV showed but that was a delay of Game

[u/go_awry → u/AAuser85]

It absolutely was a delay of game

[u/greengosgarage]

Absolute bullshit delay of game

[u/Beardr8]

How is that not delay of game???

[u/FuckChadMorris]

Do we really believe they got that snap off?

[u/NachoVarga5]

No delay??

[u/Steelerboy43]

HOW DO YOU NOT CALL DELAY OF GAME ???

[u/Hal_Incandenza]

Play clock was at zero for like 2 seconds

[u/Palmsandpancakes]

Penn state play Peoples! Campbell playing isu favorites like Franklin

[u/Pale_Land_5107]

I think we aren’t fucked at quarterback 

[u/realPamela]

Bailed out???

[u/Taako_Cross]

There is no sense of urgency.

[u/DrRageBaiter]

Out of cj carr, Dante Moore, and Bryce, I thought Cj would be the worst and Bryce would be the best. I seen cj carr last game at saline when he played Belleville with underwood. I guess belleville was just a powerhouse in D2 hs

[u/EfficiencyDue7770]

offense wakes up and defense decides to quit

[u/Appropriate_Bottle44]

You can't miss points here as PSU. One score game is too big an opportunity.

It's gonna suck if you have to kick the FG, but can't go for it on like 4th and 5.

[u/111111ok]

i feel like taking the penalty there would've been smarter but idk

[u/Lykeuhfox]

Win or lose, at least there is some hope again.

[u/TheFeelsGoodMan → u/Lykeuhfox]

Embrace the mild hope!

[u/Ok_Lawfulness758]

I was typing the following when Penn state actually called a timeout, LOL: “James Franklin would be calling a timeout to consider putting the kicking team out around now”

[u/ThouTheeThy]

The QB giving a “what the fuck” look to the sideline is hysterical

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

I thought Wisconsin @ UCLA would be the least scoring game, but this one might take the cake 

[u/Numerous-Ad6460]

Defense? Hello?

[u/DirtThief]

Michigan's gonna get all the benefits of 'being a different team with a new QB' while we're gonna be sitting over in the corner eating paste with Mateer.

[u/Live-End-5227]

This defense just folding now. This team. 

[u/Taako_Cross]

WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING?!

[u/jp1066]

That’s a wasted t o again by the offense

[u/zawwery]

LMAO. theyre never in the redzone so they get the sub packages messed up

[u/NeuroTheManiacal]

“Michigan fans..... Your welcome!”

• Eric Weddle tweet

[u/realPamela]

Did Campbell bleach his fucking hat??? Looks faded. Unless that’s the style I dunno.

[u/SteelML → u/realPamela]

I thought it was cool at Iowa state that he wore the same faded dirty wore out hat every season. Then I saw him wearing an already wore out penn state hat and I realized he's a dork who must be doing that to new hats on purpose.

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil → u/realPamela]

I read somewhere he wears it all the time and doesn’t switch it out. He likes it that way allegedly. 

[u/Minute-Director-7457]

At least Penn State isn’t shying away from honoring Paterno’s legacy from head coach on down. That is the only prerequisite to be a Penn State coach. Campbell is good for the next decade in my book!

[u/LegHurty → u/Minute-Director-7457]

genuine question, is your flair an actual school? st thomas tommies sounds like something out of a sketch lol

[u/Appropriate_Bottle44]

Moa won't be putting that one on his film reel.

[u/landshanties]

ooooo they better make #13 watch that one on monday

[u/Rust2]

For crying out loud, how bad is Penn State if they’re losing to this Michigan team?!?!

[u/vespertine-spine → u/Rust2]

Bad!

[u/Almost_Punk_Enough → u/Rust2]

Michigan’s defense is genuinely elite, they’ll keep us in almost every game this year

[u/gopoohgo → u/Rust2]

Tommy Carr at the helm

[u/cheesepuff1993 → u/Rust2]

New here? We have no cohesion and no push on the line on either side of the ball.vwe ass

[u/TheMooseGuy97 → u/Rust2]

We made a QB change finally

[u/sportsfan113 → u/Rust2]

We have the worst qb in the big ten and an awful front seven on defense. We suck.

[u/drawnbydrew → u/sportsfan113]

Don't forget.....most experienced QB....

[u/elgenie]

Rocco ready to throw a third back breaking pick?

[u/Lykeuhfox]

Clear face mask. Refs suck lol

[u/yukoncowbear47]

Alright now we have the patented Penn State score a touchdown in the red zone challenge

[u/PreCooledPigeon]

Moa kinda stinks tbh

[u/Poignant_Pilgrim]

Not being a hater: this team whines their ass off. Holy hell man take your lumps and play.

[u/HTRob81 → u/Poignant_Pilgrim]

Should have been offsetting penalties.

[u/StateCollegeHi]

Ok...now I'll repeat the question

What's going to happen when PSU gets into the Redzone?

1) PSU brings out like 17 TightEnds. 2) Rocco throws a stupid INT?

Or BOTH?

[u/Straight_Cost_3635]

Moa just short circuited lol

[u/111111ok]

i just have a feeling eskildsen is gonna screw this drive up😂

[u/FlaccidJustice]

4th quarter shootout.. Who says no?

[u/PreCooledPigeon → u/FlaccidJustice]

Me

[u/randus12]

We ass but these refs are terrible

[u/HTRob81]

Definitely a facemask.

[u/HeywardYouBlowMe]

Bryce Underwood needs to be playing at the school in Ruston, not at Michigan

[u/cheesepuff1993 → u/HeywardYouBlowMe]

I don't think he's playing at Michigan anymore to be fair...

[u/boxman151515]

It’s stiff competition but this has to be the worst broadcast crew in college football, right?

[u/golfinghawkeye → u/boxman151515]

Iowa had them at Michigan and against OSU. Give me a BTN crew

[u/problematic_glasses → u/boxman151515]

yup

[u/TickleMyIvory → u/boxman151515]

1000%

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

When did Michigan start using the Mr Brightside tradition?

[u/CurbMyEnthusiasm2022 → u/Confident_Delay5805]

After 2017 Michigan State game. It was a monsoon and the remaining fans sang in unison, so they kept doing it. 

[u/Confident_Delay5805 → u/CurbMyEnthusiasm2022]

Thanks! 

[u/problematic_glasses → u/Confident_Delay5805]

2017

[u/IrishMosaic]

You have to have an agenda to not throw a flag there

[u/go_awry → u/IrishMosaic]

UM*

[u/go_awry]

That's a facemask

[u/slim353]

I thought Mr Brightside was a British thing, when did Michigan start doing it

[u/problematic_glasses → u/slim353]

2017

[u/IrishMosaic → u/slim353]

They like the part where their best friend bangs the girl they like.

[u/SCsprinter13]

2nd facemask they've missed today. Really obvious ones too

[u/realPamela]

Clearly a face mask. Lol
