NCAA GDT: Week 9

[Rossi Rat]

Come on boys... you’re better than this.

Penn states special teams coach is absolute trash. Psu gives up some big trick play every game on special teams. Team probably leads the NCAA in special teams fumbles as well.

4th & Goal for Iowa on the 10, lineman catches the pass for a TD.

12-0 Hawkeyes,

We Are..

Losing 12-0 in the 1st quarter.

Iowa went for it on 4th and goal from the 9 yard line and threw a TD pass to a defensive tackle.

 

[Rossi Rat]

Touchdown, Nittany Lions.

Penn State blows another snap on a punt and gives up another safety.

Trace McSorley also got hurt and is in the tent

 

[spintheblackcircle]

LOL 2nd safety on the punting team for Penn St.

Trace McSorley also got hurt and is in the tent

I bet on Iowa, but I hope he is ok. I like him, tough kid.

Penn St Special Needs strikes again

 

[VikingAv]

Wtf Stanley?....

 

[GKJ]

Penn State is totally unglued. This is not a playoff-caliber program.

Starts with their clown coach, who cant coach.

I had Iowa -6.5. Penn State always has all kinds of trouble with Iowa as it is, now it's raining and people are getting hurt and special teams are failing them.

It never was a playoff caliber program. Almost losing at home to App State in Week 1, blowing two double digit leads, again at home, to OSU, then losing to a mediocre and injury riddled MSU, again...at home.

They were overrated from the start and have proved it multiple times this year. For some reason people insist on ranking Big-10 teams high.

Hey look they managed to punt the ball lol.

Yep. He can recruit and talk but he's Marvin Lewis on gameday.

The ranking isn't a Big-10 thing. It's a Penn St thing. Penn St, just like a lot of other teams in the whole country, gets positive bias rankingwise because of their name.

Preseason rankings are garbage.

True, again it's a program that despite the hype hasn't won a title since 86. But overall the Big-10 is the textbook definition of mediocre and yet teams like Iowa, Wisconsin, etc. find themselves ranked despite some bad losses and zero meaningful wins.

 

[VikingAv]

Yikes, Stanley's not good this game.

Tie game.

 

[ecemleafs]

a gift from iowa qb makes it a tie game.

 

[VikingAv]

Preseason rankings are garbage.

Garbage rankings aren't just preseason, though. They go quite deep into the season, imo, and the biggest benefactors are big-name and SEC-schools. If you're both of those, you're golden until you just lose too many games.

....

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Penn State has pop warner level special teams.

This game is a perfect example. Two teams ranked in the teens that are mediocre at best. Neither one has 100 yards of offense and there's five minutes left in the half lol.
