A tie for us a half is really impressive. We need to try to make adjustments if we can to deal with PSU’s defense which has dominated except for that td drive we had. Go Cats!

After that quick score and our 3 play feebleness, I thought they would march down and score again. Good job D
Even despite giving up chunks on the ground, tackling feels night and day from the first three games of the year. Regardless of how the rest of this game goes, this team looks like it could still find some wins this year
great heart and great game so far but Kurt Anderson is stealing a living
True, wins have a shelf life of 7 days. Next week we'll have to come out and prove ourselves all over again.
Well, if Allar finds his accuracy, as he did on the TD drive, that’s a different story. But I feel they can get yards consistently on the ground. Their RBs are averaging 5 yards a carry. We haven’t let up any explosive running plays, but they look like they can grind it out and move the ball.
Either way, I’m ecstatic with where we’re at.
PSU’s defense is loaded with pro prospects. This is not about toughness, It is about talent.
I don’t care what the result is.
This team is tough and plays hard and is always less-talented but they come to play.
Crowd is small but that allows us to hear the guys’ “hell yeahs” and grunts after they make a play, or put everything into making that third down become a fourth down.
Good for Braun for keeping this together.
Maybe the decommits reconsider. They committed to a losing program that spent a season getting their ass handed to them, but were willing to accept it for the education and the 40 years pitch. This team doesn’t need a monsoon to hang with a top ten Penn State.

Under the previous regime, the coaching staff was never challenged to get better, and the players’ performance showed it. Amazing that Anderson has a job.
It’s almost like the position coaches that Fitz wasn’t forced to fire were terrible at their jobs and remain so.
The good news is I expect next season we will clean out a lot of these guys whether Braun stays or not.
Didn't matter. The OL was pushed into the backfield and so there was no room to push Ben forward.
It’s one L in the column whether it’s a 4 or a 40-point game. How nice that NU is trying to win, empowering players to make plays.
I want them to try and win and that’s what they’re doing. It’s very obvious our offense can’t do enough to get many (if any) more points so we have to try and get creative. I like the fake punt call. Just didn’t work.
This is a "nothing to lose game. I'm OK with the 4th down calls
We are a 4th quarter team, no? Cardiac fashion? Need to get an FG on this drive.
17 points entering the fourth is nothing.
GO CATS GO CATS GO
GO CATS GO CATS GO
Man, I hope OSU and MIchigan kick the crap out of this dirty Penn State team.
