Not to be a conspiracy theorist, but the game seemed to move along pretty well. Not many penalties. Not many reviews. I wonder if that was so they show 4 times the number of commercials at every break.

They were literally false starting every snap. Why not call it? Had to be a reason

People keep telling me that they gifted us the game. Bull. Both fumbles were forced. Those aren't gifts, those are defensive plays. Kelly was an animal that could not be stopped. That isn't a gift. Callaway balled last night, they couldn't cover him. Dormady made some clutch throws as well. And when it was on the line, our defense, especially Taylor, made the stop when we hadn't stopped them all night. That isn't a gift. That is a hard fought, come from behind, earned victory. We got the W. We earned it.

I agree. They didn't make any blatant mistakes other than that last FG, and even that was partly due to a great push by our DL

As to Shoop, as embarrassing as that was last night, I will reserve judgment until I see him go through the next few games. I think he had a plan for GT and it was a complete disaster and had no plan b. I give him a pass on the last few games last year, he was out of ammo. The D sucks this year, he's a not ready for primetime player.

Not ready for primetime? This is getting stupid to me. Bob Shoop has proven himself over several years at different programs (since when is Penn St not primetime?) The guy may not be as great a savant as we thought, but he has PROVEN that he is competent. The answer to our defensive problems has to be more complex than just "Bob Snoop sucks

Paul Johnson, postgame commented that the reason he went for two was as the game went on it became apparent that we would score at will and he felt their best chance of winning was right then. That detail tells me that we took the game, they didn't hand it to us.

I meant to post the word "If" in front of that last sentence. "If the defense sucks this year that would be my conclusion.

2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way - SCORE.

3. If at first the game - or the breaks - go against you, don't let up... put on more steam.

6. Press the kicking game. Here is where the breaks are made.

7. Carry the fight to our opponent and keep it there for 60 minutes.

I'm a little behind from last football talk thread but all this we didn't win they lost/ we didn't deserve to win talk is CRAP. If your team has more points at the end of the game then you did what you had to to deserve the win. Unless you cheated or the referees missed/made calls that were obviously unfair, then a win is earned. Stop negating what this team and coaches did and get behind them. I'd take a game like that every time if we were on top at the buzzer.

Both teams have the same amount of time to win the game. This game did nothing to alleviate the doubts that I have but I'm certainly not about to forsake the win.

I believe the respect is genuine, and the video is still good

Would you rather go 10-2 and not win the East or go 9-3 and manage to win the east
