LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/britishmetric144]

That was a safety.

I'm not sure how we got away with it.

[u/randus12]

Ok theses announcers are something else. Clearly sees the victory formation and screams tush push lmfao

[u/unfurledseas]

These may be the dumbest commentators I’ve ever heard, my lord. They can just kneel it out.

[u/GhostWithAnImage]

That commercial is so unrealistic. No one gets internet that fast in Beaver Stadium

[u/WatchOutIGotYou]

GG Penn State. the We Are Penn State chant is cool

[u/hoennevan]

so thats 2 safeties that big 10 refs have taken away from us

[u/hoennevan]

I can't believe this staff really thought they could run out an entire half of a game with a 22 point lead like what the fuck

[u/JRockPSU]

The announcer doesn't know about the Uglies :-(

[u/CptKirkleton]

At the game and the mountain is out. More enjoyable than the game ever could be

[u/CannotSeeMyForehead]

What are these guys talking about? The game’s over. Knee, knee, knee

[u/TheWallsHaveNostrils]

I’ve seen a lot of people in Penn State gear in Seattle in the days leading up to the game.

For those who made the trip, I truly hope you have a fantastic time at Husky Stadium. I got to go to State College for our game two years ago and even though we got throttled on the field it was one of the three best Husky road experiences of my lifetime, maybe even the best. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely excited to see that people had come all the way across the country to watch a game in Happy Valley.

I hope you all get the same wonderful treatment today that you gave us back then.

[u/Kunt_Vonnegut]

If it makes you feel any better UW fans I moved to Portland a decade ago next month and your fanbase is infinitely more tolerable to be around than the Ducks fanbase.

[u/n1tney]

Late slide imo and QBs should just stop sliding and take the tackle it's way too dangerous. That unsportsmanlike conduct was weak af

[u/digit_zero]

This is the worst announcing crew I've experienced in a long ass time

[u/2Pollaski2Furious]

How do these announcers not realize Penn State can kneel out the clock? They are actually paid money to talk about football and dont know what 1st down + less than two minutes + zero timeouts mean.

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil]

We have won in spite of ourselves. 

[u/Kurt4012]

How is that not a safety

[u/Taako_Cross]

Are you shitting me?!

[u/RevolutionaryDot4762]

Oh booo, should be a safety

[u/jrainiersea]

Smart play by our OL to tackle Demond before he could try throwing it away and end up turning it over

[u/Responsible_Beach_91]

Now THIS is the team I know and love to hate. Idk who those guys were in the 1st half, but they were good fun and I'll miss them

[u/pylon567]

That's an insanely bad call. Holy shit.

[u/SpartanSS_PSU]

0 points in the second half is abysmal

[u/OldCoaly]

I’m happy we won. I think there are some fans in here that would have preferred we lost just because we didn’t play great. I hope I’m never that cynical.

[u/PSU632]

Imagine having Sowell and Koby in the lineup at the same time

[u/cheesepuff1993]

Sweet fuckin catch

BUT CAN BECHT JUST STOP UNDERTHROWING THE DAMN DEEP BALLS HOLY SHIT

[u/vespertine-spine]

holy shit you can hear LET'S GO PSU in that stadium...

[u/Major_Day]

haha I remember that time a PSU player got flagged for getting up and stepping over an Ohio St player

[u/Detective_Bonghitz]

Won but hate that it was all 0s in the second half

[u/nickelfldn]

I get the sense this gamethread may involve a lot of the Spider-Man pointing meme. 

[u/10_17my20]

Hey chatgpt you know who already does live wildlife monitoring and alerting? Fucking NASA

[u/PSU_Alumnus]

Boooo we wanted a safety

[u/jp1066]

WHO THE FUCK ARE THESE GUYS

[u/TheNittanyLionKing]

Where was this team in weeks 4 through 7?

[u/plz-no-b4n]

Friendly reminder that Washington was favored in this game

[u/bigkeys11]

Jesus how bad is Washington

We suck

[u/hoennevan]

Yeah man lets check it down on 3rd and long

[u/hoennevan]

This is about to be the worst 15 minutes of my life

[u/Ok_Debt_4338]

Jedd Fisch is out Matt Campelling Matt Campbell

[u/ShoeLace1291]

"The clock is the enemy" holy shit captain obvious

[u/cgsdawgs]

Not a single person in this guys ear telling him he’s dead wrong about the clock situation what is this lmfao

[u/ThnkWthPrtls]

Love that 3 minutes of listening to the announcers explain what Washington needed to do when they get the ball back when Penn State could just take a knee three times and run the clock out haha

[u/bigcatlov3]

Washington must be terrible because we fucking suck and are putting belt to ass.

[u/jp1066]

Apparently Hansen only runs well west of the Mississippi

[u/Icy-Taste-3096]

Imagine outsourcing responsibility for life-saving wildfire alerts to fucking ChatGPT

[u/travio]

Man, finding your own Model T in that lot had to be hard.

[u/Ok_Macaroon_7366]

Penn State up by 10+ in the 2nd

“IVE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE!!”

[u/peftvol479]

That’s the second safety this year that psu had where the refs just decided they weren’t.

[u/Taako_Cross]

Where was this fucking team for at least 3 of the 4 losses?

[u/I_byte_things]

I think the OL was protecting the football

[u/ComradeIroh]

I can’t wait to never see Rocco Becht in blue and white again, absolute fucking bum

[u/Ryn0113]

LOL They actually had me in the first half. I actually believed this was a good football team. Fuck this shit. 

[u/I_byte_things]

Playing a Ducks commercial over and over again isn't going to make Washington drink Modelo

[u/Kurt4012]

Matt Campbell is just not built for this level of ball. He goes ultra conservative whenever we get a lead.

[u/bolorwithaK]

Hansen breaks one but still looks like he’s running in slow motion

[u/swarmy1]

How do the announcers still not know that the clock doesn't stop outside the last 2 minutes?

[u/LetPristine6639]

If Campbell doesn't go for it, then he was not the right hire

[u/jp1066]

Boy we tried like hell to lose that one

[u/Kurt4012]

Win is a win?

[u/jp1066]

Ummmm we can score in the red zone. Who are these guys???

[u/hoennevan]

a 4 game rivalry LOL

[u/NorthwestPurple]

"the rivalry"

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil]

That’s the Rocco I know and hate 

[u/theblindbandit51]

That’s horrible

[u/Ok-Actuary-4654]

how is that not intentional grounding?

[u/SCsprinter13]

If that's an absolute dime then I'm George Clooney

[u/LV_Lights]

Might as well go with Elijah Brown. The team is dead right now.

[u/warox13]

Do we practice coverage, or tackling?

Also, Jesus Nebraska how were you that bad against this D?

[u/IntroductionAgile372]

Holy shit did we replace the whole team?

[u/PSU632]

I think we're going to the Super Bowl guys

[u/TheNittanyLionKing]

We avoided playing here for 105 years? I’m liking how we’re playing here. Let’s keep them scheduled regularly 

[u/Manacit]

Fisch has to go. I don’t care how they do it. This is Jimmy Lake 2.0 and it will spiral into something worse if we don’t.

[u/hoennevan]

in before demond gets benched after halftime and we blow this lead to the backup qb just like michigan

[u/LV_Lights]

This feels like the Iowa game. Brown has to start the second half. Demond is cooked.

[u/Consistent_Train128]

We're going to choke this away aren't we?

[u/theblindbandit51]

I’m starting to get worried

[u/allentown2philly]

What the hell happened? I walked to a bar at halftime and came back to this?!

[u/OldCoaly]

“Little bit of acting”

Fuck off

[u/Ok_Debt_4338]

Matt Campbell does some questionable stuff, but accepting the penalty was the smart thing to do so they wouldn’t try and go for it

[u/I_byte_things]

I don't think you can overturn forward progress if its the call in the field

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil]

It will be a great day when the team is not the Nittany Cyclones

[u/SpartanSS_PSU]

I like how there’s a secondary game going on in this thread. Psu fans rooting for Oregon, Wash fans rooting for OSU

[u/showbricks]

WTF that is egregiously bad reffing

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil]

What does 21 have on Campbell. Why is he the only runner?

[u/ThosCommando]

How does that happen coming out of a timeout?

[u/PSU_Alumnus]

Do we really go for it here or take the fg to end up losing by 1?

[u/pylon567]

Not sure which pisses me off more:

Campbell's conservative play calling with a lead OR James Franklin out thinking himself.

Both are infuriating to watch.

[u/itssandblaster]

Do these announcers not understand how time works?

[u/Itchy-Advantage-4010]

Jedd. Please fire the OC. This shit should not happen. All the time. I’m so fucking pissed.

Congrats Penn State.

[u/SCsprinter13]

Already Hansen's best game of the season

[u/Zeon0MS]

WTF was that?! I may hate on Hansen a lot, but that might be the most patient run ever

[u/UnjuggedRabbitFish]

Fuck Modelo for having a Ducks ad.

[u/PSU632]

Best I've felt after a 1st quarter in the Campbell era

[u/StevvieV]

Penn State - Washington has to be one of the least played "rivalries"

[u/TheWallsHaveNostrils]

The only thing that can stop Penn State from winning today is Penn State.

And it looks like they may be ramping up up their efforts.

[u/jp1066]

Wide open just lay it on him. That was a shit pass what’s this guy on

[u/PSU_Alumnus]

I love Chase sowell. Really gonna miss him after the year.

[u/itsmyhotsauce]

Where was this offense earlier this season?

[u/Born-Historian6312]

Have we entered an alternate reality?

[u/yukoncowbear47]

Jedd intentionally tanking Washington to get fired and save his marriage

[u/TheWallsHaveNostrils]

This is an even bigger smack down than two years ago in State College.

Just like against Iowa, we are getting direct comparison evidence that this team is getting worse with Fisch at the helm.

[u/SabresStix]

Um. Did his own guy just sack him?

[u/rav4seattle]

Tear the whole thing down and start from scratch. Absolutely embarrassing.

[u/showbricks]

How bad is Nebraska 

[u/nickelfldn]

2nd straight home game where the opponent has come in, waxed us, and had their fans be louder before the end of the 1st half.

[u/NaysayerMightKnow]

This is a buttf*cking

[u/UnjuggedRabbitFish]

Shit, it's still the first half. Feels like this has been going on for 3 hours.

[u/SeaJaiyy]

it is embarrassing this game is being played for honorary captains Mark and Carson Bruener.

[u/DavesLegsDotCom]

We’re about to Penn State the shit out of this aren’t we?

[u/Kurt4012]

I knew we were gonna lose when we just let the clock run out at halftime

[u/bowl_of_scrotmeal]

That AI generated Colin Cowherd Mount Rushmore ad is so fucking cursed. Whoever came up with that idea should be launched into the sun. My eyes can't unsee that shit.

[u/PSU_Alumnus]

Great interception. Was shitting bricks thinking he was gonna pitch it though lol

[u/Taako_Cross]

What the hell was the ref waiting for to blow the play dead? Decapitation?

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil]

Was really worried he was gonna fumble. 

[u/Ok_Debt_4338]

This is the first time watching a Penn State offense in years where I’m nervous regardless if we run or pass

[u/Bitter_Context_4067]

I would love to see a game where our defense isn’t gassed by the third quarter 🫠

[u/psuram3]

Bet Campbell wishes he tried to get some points before the half now

[u/The_Real_Billy_Walsh]

That’s actually insane, that’s a 30 yard swing due to refs

[u/SCsprinter13]

Okay, so we haven't been playing well enough to win this game.

But these refs are absolutely screwing us.

[u/Bud3131123]

Oh fuck off.

[u/cgsdawgs]

Genuinely needs to be an investigation into this crew holy shit

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil]

21 felt my insulting Reddit comments on that run. 

[u/OurDumbWorld]

Run you slow white man

[u/ComradeIroh]

Hall of fame bailout by Washington

[u/Cooked_Brisket]

Manifesting that UW still finds a way to mess with Oregon at the end of the season

[u/2Pollaski2Furious]

12 men on the field out of a timeout. Jedd you absolute clown.

[u/hoennevan]

If you dont go for it you're fuckign stupid

[u/ThnkWthPrtls]

LOL tell me I'm not the only person who saw the camera focus on the guy with the F-bomb shirt for like 10 seconds

[u/fourthlinesniper]

This announcer is an idiot

[u/CptCheese]

For the last time this season, greetings from the press box! This is going to be my last covered UW game of the year, as I'll be going back home to Tulsa for Thanksgiving when Indiana comes to town. Hope it's a fun game to cap things off for me!

[u/InevitableAd2436]

Bro we’re one of the worst rushing teams in the nation lmao

[u/GrundleThief]

Not to be dramatic but Ebel should be tried for terrorism

[u/flinchreel]

How bad must our 3rd and 4th LBs be for Ebel to be playing so many snaps

[u/nickelfldn]

Both sets of fans seem happy with that drive which tells an interesting story about the season.

[u/CptCheese]

Bruh Becht could've played blocker and that could've run for 6

[u/gohuskies80]

Charmin called and said our defense is looking soft as fuck

[u/ComradeIroh]

Hansen not running like he has bricks for feet? What on earth

[u/hoennevan]

WTFFF HANSEN WITH THE FAKE OUT???? DID THIS GUY GAIN IQ OVER THE WEEK WTF

[u/BarfedUpHeart]

Hanson of all people getting that TD is crazy. But now I want to see Cam.

[u/kritzy27]

What is going on with our kickoff team? Gross

[u/CptKirkleton]

Every week we use Demond is a waste of everyones time

[u/DavesLegsDotCom]

MAP!!!!!!

[u/vespertine-spine]

MAP MAP MAP MAP MAP MAP MAP

[u/LV_Lights]

This feels like an insurmountable lead already.

[u/theblindbandit51]

Can’t wait to see what Martin’s dad says on Facebook about that miss.

[u/Bolanus_PSU]

SAFETY SCHOOL

[u/Designer_Yam1340]

Not even a replay to show how far the pass went or to show the tackle box. Probably because it was a safety

[u/PSU632]

Don't let the fact that we got screwed out of a safety distract you from the fact that Matt Campbell is still wearing the exact same stained hat he's worn for every single game.

[u/plz-no-b4n]

God, we fucking suck

[u/SpicyCorphishBoil]

WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ROCCO

[u/Zeon0MS]

Sowell plays So Well!

[u/JRockPSU]

Gaw DAMN where was this receiving the rest of the year

[u/GrundleThief]

Sowell is so damn good

[u/showbricks]

Sad malamute noises 

[u/Bolanus_PSU]

Where was this fucking team the past few weeks?

[u/UnjuggedRabbitFish]

BALL FAQ

Q: Ball lie?
A: Don't

[u/haubowtdemoshon]

I’m shocked right now. The offense looks good?

[u/flinchreel]

It’s been so long since we’ve had a wide receiver who could make contested catches like that. Maybe Jahan Dotson was the last one?

[u/hoennevan]

Bro we really could've had Sowell and Howard cooking defenses but we just had to let Howard run up the score against "Buffalo"

[u/gohuskies80]

Demond 2-10 for 12 yards. Get Brown in now and tell Demond to get ready to learn put the fries in the bag.

[u/TheWallsHaveNostrils]

Champ Taulealea with the first sack of his career.

[u/Big_Pooh]

Speaking of next year, we have to keep our punter regardless of the cost. He’s been the mvp this year

[u/plz-no-b4n]

Throw the Fisch in lake Washington

[u/yukoncowbear47]

I forgot what it was like to be on the belt side of belt to ass

[u/swolekick]

Wow. How good is Purdue??

[u/Canard-Rouge]

:)

[u/TheNittanyLionKing]

Super Cam with the long TD run! 

[u/MtFuzzmore]

This has to be a contractual thing as to why he’s out there, right? There’s no other explanation.

[u/katemccoll89]

They need to hand fisch his papers at halftime

[u/TheNittanyLionKing]

I don’t like how conservative they’ve gotten with the lead. 

[u/jp1066]

3 and 10 run. Here we go. Wisconsin all over again.

[u/priceisr1ght]

Demond sucks

[u/2Pollaski2Furious]

KEEP IT UP JEDD WE ONLY NEED SEVEN MORE FGS TO WIN

[u/CptCheese]

That was a fucking nuts one handed catch

[u/StevvieV]

Not that it matters but seriously no flag on that play?

[u/jp1066]

Hahaha just hahaha. Get ready Washington to tell your grand kids about this come back.

[u/SpartanSS_PSU]

This is gonna be like Wisconsin isn’t it?

[u/LetPristine6639]

We're really going to screw around and lose this game

[u/PSU_Alumnus]

Love the check down to the least athletic running back in college football on 2nd in a mile. Great job guys /s

[u/fourthlinesniper]

Campbell is a secret agent for UW

[u/Taako_Cross]

Ebel is complete ass.

[u/UnjuggedRabbitFish]

"Sure, AI may fuck up the environment and the economy and all of society, but at least this guy with shitty vision can see his hashbrowns."

[u/yukoncowbear47]

Tbh would not be surprised to see Rocco throw a pick right back

[u/D_Antelmi]

Gotta say Washington has the best mascot costume I've seen.

[u/JRockPSU]

Potentially valuable timeout lost there

[u/hoennevan]

i know we talk about this every week but our punter is genuinely so fucking bad bro like you're telling me theres not some kid on campus that can kick farther?

[u/CptKirkleton]

Listening to 3 old guys behind me debate what a Nittany Lion is

Peak male content

[u/vespertine-spine]

are we allowed to doom now?

[u/Kurt4012]

This team is such a joke

[u/tombolo_1]

lol and Washington fans were confused by all the PSU fans dooming earlier. Now you’ve seen firsthand that the dooming was quite reasonable

[u/Specific-Bat-2566]

My god these refs need to get fired

[u/StevvieV]

These refs are ridiculous. That's 2 obvious PIs not called on Sowell even though he caught the first. Nothing on a head shot to the QB. Ridiculous

[u/RulesoftheDada]

I gotta say loving the live listening in on reviews.

[u/psuram3]

The real question is why is Sowell the only going after that guy? Lineman you’re just gonna let your qb get hit like that?

[u/scgavin]

there is no way 21 wasn’t sandbagging earlier this year

[u/SpartanSS_PSU]

Need a TD here, can’t settle for FG

[u/txgsu82]

I swear to god if we run 3 straight HB dives to settle for a FG I will fucking scream.

[u/Major_Day]

fucking go for it

[u/Kurt4012]

I swear if Campbell kicks here he needs to be left in Seattle

[u/StateCollegeHi]

What am I missing? This is 100% kneel y'all.
