This Thread is for those who will be watching the EMU & Penn State game. I hope there will be some good chatter from us and Penn State fans. I hopeful for a good game.

I will have the game on in the REC/IM on the 2nd floor.

I'll be here chattering. Hopefully the nonsense from the PSU folks will be at a minimum.

These are picks against the spread. Two of the four like EMU.

PSU is now a 28 point fav in Vegas. They're aren't following Pudge, I guess. :(

Nice playing calling on the 1st couple plays

Good start for Parrish so far.

Go!

That draw out of the shotgun takes wayyyy too long to develop. It might work against MAC schools, but not Penn State.

Yep. A 1000x better than what Karcher did. Missed block causes stop, but good play call.

I just don't understand. Why punt? We're 28 point dogs on the road. What do we have to lose? English's conservatism will not be missed.

I agree with punting. No need to give PSU great field position early in the game.

Now comes to the scary part for EMU…the defense.

That’s why you punt, Holybovine. A stop by the defense leads to great field position on 2nd drive.

Not a good start for Hackenberg. Some pretty terrible throws. God if our blitzes could get home, I'd be a bit more optimistic

Lulling PSU to sleep. Setting up a big play.

Ugh please throw that play out.

Again -- English's conservatism will not be missed.

Not a good drive here by the offense. Parrish is refusing to throw it down field. Fumbled snap on FG attempt. Ugh.

I suppose as a UM guy, you approve of EMU trying to set up a field goal on 3rd down. That's right out of Lloyd's playbook, with similar results.
