Was at a wedding yesterday so had to watch the PSU v. App St game on the phone ... ugggh! Why, oh why, do people schedule weddings during college football season?

I went to a wedding during deer season. Good thing it was the 2nd weekend. Even then we almost didn't go. It was one of my few first cousins. A friend of the family for years didn't come to ours because it was opening day of grouse season.....

App St is a very well coached team ... and there QB is a “Houdini” with hiding the ball on fakes. Their special teams were great (100 yard return for a TD and an extremely well executed Onsides Kick).

That said, PSU lost 7 of their 8 leading tacklers from last year to graduation or injury. Defense showed that. Lot of young guys who need to grow and learn. Offensive line was supposed to be a strong suit and they couldn’t keep App St out of the backfield.

All that said, it was a win and if they learn from this ... If they don’t learn, it will be a long season ...

What was the score?

MI looked terrible. Poorly coached, poor use of the clock, refs weren't much better. Not sure what they were looking at.. Refs had nothing to do with their loss. The QB was supposed to be their savior, not...

Musky - PSU won 45-38 in OT. It was a squeaker.

Wow. Not good......

Listening to the ESPN talking heads, they didn’t seem to mind that PSU pulled it out in OT ... “A win is a win” was said. And most know that App St is a very disciplined team and several talking heads have them going to an upper level bowl game this year ... but PSU should have seen where they need to work for next week, or they will be in a world of hurt this season ...

PSU has a TD called back for PI. Bump (block) within 5 yards of scrimmage. It was a pick, but close to scrimmage???? Not 100% sure of rule, but it nullified Sanders TD catch.
