BIG DICK DON BROWN!
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
Jesus I love Don Brown, hope he stays forever, the D was ballin as usual today
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
FIRE DON BROWN...this defense gives up too many sad TD's, lol
November 3rd, 2018 at 8:01 PM ^
Yea his late game play calling on blowouts isn’t too good
/s
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:07 PM ^
Poor damn Penn State lol...
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
You don’t fuck with The Don
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
Best D since '97.
November 3rd, 2018 at 8:56 PM ^
On par with 1997 as of now, quite easily. There are a handful of games remaining to prove they are better. There is just nothing out there for opposing offenses. It's like we're playing 14 to their 11.
November 3rd, 2018 at 9:19 PM ^
I havent looked at the statistics. Is this year measurably better than 2006 or 2016 defenses?
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:20 PM ^
Im not sure how it compares, but this defense is allowing opposing offenses only 66% of their average rushing output, and 60% of their average passing output. Pretty insane stat.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:39 AM ^
Would be cool for someone to do a full side-by-side-by-side comparison, but in terms of total yards allowed, in 2006 we gave up 268.3/game, in 2016 we gave up 261.8/game, and this year we're giving up 220/game.
That last figure puts us 40 yards/game clear of the #2 total D this year.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:12 PM ^
Disagree. Woodsons Heisman does too.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
Hornibrook (WISC): 7/20 (35%), 100 yds, 1 TD 2 INT
Lewerke (MSU): 5/25 (20%), 66 yds, 0 TD 0 INT
Mcsorley (PSU): 5/13 (38%), 83 yds 0 TD 1 INT
Combined Stats: 17/58 (29%), 249 yds, 1 TD 3 INT
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
I can’t figure out why all the QBs are so bad against us. Weird
November 3rd, 2018 at 8:14 PM ^
I guess we are just lucky that they all happened to have off days against us.
November 3rd, 2018 at 8:40 PM ^
the cfb world seems to think that teams UM beats were overrated...
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:56 PM ^
So sick of this take. I think it's the winged helmet that mesmerizes opposing QB's into playing like shit. Not the relentless pass rush or blanket coverage.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:29 PM ^
And that doesn’t even include the pick-six by McSorely’s sad backup.
November 3rd, 2018 at 9:29 PM ^
It's not that he had bad form on the throw to Watson; it's that he telegraphed it. I mean he totally stared him down. It could have easily been picked off by his own guy.
November 3rd, 2018 at 8:55 PM ^
Hornibrook needed a damned miracle to reach 100 yards. Didn't he have 25 yards passing until garbage time?
Jon Kitna used to put up 4000 yards passing due to desperation garbage time drives. Sometimes that was the whole game. Just saying...
November 3rd, 2018 at 9:16 PM ^
Domination.
Good thing our db’s are so awesome at holding. Fuck you, Franklin.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:08 PM ^
Titties
November 4th, 2018 at 12:50 AM ^
Big ones!
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
Defensive DOMINATION! Wish they could’ve gotten the shutout but we’re splitting hairs here. Don Brown got his revenge.
Cant wait for the defense UFR this week.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:41 PM ^
Hutchinson will get a -3 for Stevens TD. horrible play. And I've been the kids biggest fan by far, saying he's gonna be All American as upperclassman .
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:43 PM ^
I never ever ever agree with you but this is spot on, overpursued big time and it cost em.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:52 PM ^
Truth. Him messing up contain now will help him greatly learn how to improve on it in the future when we need him. His future is still very bright.
November 3rd, 2018 at 11:43 PM ^
Good thing that play won't show up on his upperclassman film. He's a freshman, who make mistakes. Look at the difference in Josh Metellus, look how far he has come. He still may be that All-American.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:09 PM ^
Defense allowed as many points as they scored. Not a bad day.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
They allowed 7 points on the board. Room for improvement.
/s............ or not :)
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
PSU was jailsexed
November 3rd, 2018 at 8:23 PM ^
Boat raced the whole game.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Don Fucking Brown. This defense is so good I want them to play ND again.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:20 PM ^
We will play them again in the championship game. Book it!
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:30 PM ^
It would have to he the semifinal. We are a 2, or a 3 seed or not in it at all.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:40 PM ^
?
If Bama, Clemson, ND and Mich win out, how is Mich not the 4 seed?
November 4th, 2018 at 12:10 AM ^
The only nightmare scenario for Michigan, if Michigan, ND, Clemson and Georgia win out with UGA beating Alabama in the SEC championship game. WTF happens then? Do you boot 12-1 Alabama from the CFP? We need ND to stumble to secure our spot. Otherwise the aforementioned could reasonably happen.
I'm gonna shut my whore mouth right now.
November 4th, 2018 at 1:48 AM ^
November 4th, 2018 at 3:24 AM ^
The question was about seeding, not who gets in. M is the 4 seed unless somebody above them loses.
November 3rd, 2018 at 10:46 PM ^
agreed, the infamous "they" would rather have the rematch earlier, not in the NC.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Our garbage time defense is really killing our stats and our chances of getting Rutgers. Gotta work on that.
In meaningful time: LOLOLOLOLOLOL
November 3rd, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
The plural of "Rutger" is "Rutgri" not "Rutgers"
November 3rd, 2018 at 11:21 PM ^
I think the plural is just rutger. That doesn't get capitalized, even if it's the first word of a sentence.
November 3rd, 2018 at 11:47 PM ^
Correct. It's like deer. One deer, many deer. Works since Rutger plays like deer in headlights.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Don Fucking Brown. This defense is so good I want them to play ND again.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
They played well.
Hopr Solomon is all right.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:14 PM ^
He was back out there on Watson's pick 6.
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:15 PM ^
I think he’s fine. I saw him in during the 2nd half
November 3rd, 2018 at 7:11 PM ^
At least Don Brown has something to be mad about until next year.
