1
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back into the Penn State Pulse. I'm your host,

2
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: Dylan Dawson. Penn State dropped their first game of the

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: season last Saturday, when Ohio State was able to leave

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: Beaver Stadium with a twenty to thirteen win over the

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: Nitney Lions. Penn State had their moments, and they looked

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: very good at times, but at the end of the day,

7
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: they were just too inconsistent and mistake ridden to be

8
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: able to pull this one out. You can't straight up

9
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 1: blame the refs, but they certainly didn't help. There was

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: a pretty clear catch and fumble recovered by Penn State

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: that was later overturned. There was a pretty weak taunting

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: penalty called early on Elliott Washington for stepping over an

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 1: Ohio State receiver, something that happens quite a bit without

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 1: penalty in college football. There were numerous holding calls never

15
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: called on OSU's offensive line, passinger ference calls never called

16
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: on their secondary. The main thing that lost this game

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: for Penn State was not the rest, though, It was

18
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 1: the lack of execution in the red zone and specifically

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: down inside the five yard line. Not once but twice,

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: the Ninny Lions found themselves first in goal from inside

21
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: the Buckeyes five yard line, and they came away with

22
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: a total of zero points in those situations. End of

23
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: the first half, you had Trey Wallace Bobbo a perfectly

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: thrown fadeball that ended in an Ohio State interception. Then

25
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: you had a first single later on in the game,

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: trailing by a score and the offense goes four and out.

27
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: It was a goal line stand by the Buckeyes. Not

28
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: only to Penn State run three times in a row

29
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: up the middle, but those first three plays were out

30
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: of shotgun formation all three times. I say, at least

31
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: line up under center and let your running back get

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: ahead of steam before initiating contact in that scenario. Then

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: on fourth and goal, they tried to hit Tyler Warren

34
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: out in the flat that's covered. So Drew tries. Drew tries,

35
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: excuse me, Khalil Dinkins across the middle who happened to

36
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: be fighting through triple coverage. Again, probably a PI on

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: Ohio State, but no call. I feel like you need

38
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: a safety route in that situation. But it was one

39
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: read to read and throw for Aler. Maybe run mesh

40
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: where you can create some traffic in the middle with

41
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: that OSU secondary leaking receiver on an under route.

42
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: Out to the right side, I mean the left.

43
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: If you line someone up on the left side of

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: the field there and leaked them to the wide side

45
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: of the field, they had a lot of space to

46
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: work with. I feel like that could have been done

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: at least for a safety route maybe if Khalil wasn't open,

48
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: which he was not. It was just a very uninspiring

49
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 1: sequence and game overall from Andy Kottniki and the Penn

50
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: State offense. I truly can't comprehend why Tyler Warren didn't

51
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: touch the ball in that gold to go situation, especially

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: after the drive he was having. On that drive where

53
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: Penn State went four and out. On the gold to

54
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: go situation, Tyler Warren had a catch of thirty one

55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: yards followed by a run of thirty three yards. We've

56
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: seen them line worn up in wildcat and just send

57
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: him flying up the middle on numerous occasions, and it

58
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: felt like the obvious guy to go to in that scenario,

59
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,559
Speaker 1: regardless of how Ohio.

60
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: State lined up.

61
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw in that thirty three yard run

62
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: it was maybe a zone off tackle run and he

63
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: just bounced it to the sideline and outrun everyone anyways

64
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: at two hundred and sixty pounds, So I think you

65
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: just put the ball in his hands in that situation.

66
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: If Ohio State stacks the box, they have eight guys

67
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: crowding the line of scrimmage, maybe you run a pop pass.

68
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think you get the ball

69
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: in Tyler Warren's hands in that scenario, and that's kind

70
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: of a non negotiable. I'm very surprised that Andy kottle

71
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: Nikki didn't try it until fourth and goal. He technically

72
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: did try to get the ball to Tyler Warren on

73
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: fourth and goal, but regardless, it did not touch his

74
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: hands on those four straight plays, and that is inexcusable

75
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: in my opinion.

76
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: Penn State paid the price and.

77
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: That was pretty much the turning point of the game,

78
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: at least on the offense side of the ball. So

79
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: let's jump into what and who stood out to me

80
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: in a positive manner. First up, Penn State has another

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: butting star at cornerback, and that is Zion Tracy. He

82
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: is the one that obviously had to pick six on

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: Ohio State's first possession to set Beaver Stadium on fire.

84
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you can actually see

85
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: me on the sidelines. But I went sprinting down the

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: sideline after that pick six. I didn't really know what

87
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: I just had a ton of energy. I didn't know

88
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: what to do with it, so I just took off

89
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: down the sideline. That was one of the best moments

90
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: I've had in Beaver Stadium with a bunch of my friends,

91
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of you guys, my guy Rick there.

92
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: We were freaking out together, Jamie. It was a lot

93
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,239
Speaker 2: of fun.

94
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: But unfortunately the game was pretty much downhill from there.

95
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: But on that play, that was a perfect switch between

96
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: Tracy and Jayalen Kimber. Just a textbook route jump and

97
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: a beautiful play on the ball by Zion Tracy. He

98
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 1: was also around the ball and a handful of other plays.

99
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 1: You look at his stat sheet and it was pretty

100
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: bleak for the game, which is usually a good sign

101
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: for a corner.

102
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: At least ninety percent of the time, Higher State was.

103
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: Not throwing at him, and that's all you can really

104
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: ask for out of him in coverage of if you're

105
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: not getting targets your way, it's probably because you are

106
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: in good coverage. So another standout dB from last Saturday

107
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: was zach Y Wheatley at safety. He had an enormous

108
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: play of his own when he was able to punch

109
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: that ball out of Will Howard's possession as Howard was

110
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: on his way to a seemingly easy rushing touchdown. If

111
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: Howard were to score on that play, it would have

112
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: put Ohio State up twenty one to ten with twenty

113
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: one unanswered points after Penn State scoring the first ten,

114
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: and all the momentum would have been in the buckeyes favor.

115
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: The game's probably over by halftime, especially considering Penn State's

116
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: performance on the offensive side of the ball.

117
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: But Wheatley was able to dislodge.

118
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,160
Speaker 1: That ball at the one yard line pretty much and

119
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: it rolled out of the end zone for a touchback

120
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: and essentially wipe seven points off the board for the Buckeyes.

121
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Zachi also led the team in tackles with nine and

122
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: he had a nice PBu on the day as well.

123
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Abdul Carter had a great day coming off the edge.

124
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I had him as my nitny line of the game

125
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: after he was able to record two sacks and two

126
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: tackles for loss on top of his four total tackles.

127
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: If I had to guess he was probably clearly held

128
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: about a dozen times on Saturday, and he just wasn't

129
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: getting the calls.

130
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: I mentioned OSU not.

131
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: Getting called for holding, and almost all of them were

132
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: on Abdul. Upon rewatching the game, his first step was

133
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: just crazy, and Ohio State kicked their left guard out

134
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: to tackle for the game because their first two left

135
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: tackles were both down with injuries, and you could just

136
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: tell that the guard wasn't really keeping up with Abdul's

137
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:53,559
Speaker 1: first step.

138
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: He was just.

139
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Flying past him on half of his reps and he

140
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: was getting a little handsy, and the rest just weren't

141
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: calling it. It kind of went both ways, though, they

142
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: just weren't calling a ton on either team. Going back

143
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: to Abdulo, this is probably a three or four sack

144
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: performance if not for said holds. This is a performance

145
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: that elevates your standing in the NFL draft. If he

146
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: continues on this trajectory, Abdu Carter is probably a top

147
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: ten pick come April next up. A very quiet performance,

148
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: but Ryan Barker continues his statistically perfect season at kicker.

149
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: He hit from twenty nine and forty four yards against OSU,

150
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: and that forty four yard was beautiful man. It has

151
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: some serious air under it. Probably good from fifty five.

152
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: Barker's now up to eight for eight on field goals

153
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: on the season and thirteen of thirteen on extra points

154
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: as well. You just can't overstate how huge Ryan stepping

155
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: up has been for this team. He might have lost

156
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,559
Speaker 1: on Saturday, but he again did his part, putting seven

157
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: points on the board with the two field goals and

158
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: then his extra point. I don't want to say he's

159
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: become automatic now, but he has been statistically. I don't

160
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: want to jinx anything but great star for Ryan Barker.

161
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: Super glad he's stepping out for this team alright. So

162
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: as far as the team as a whole, we have

163
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: been used to the cold starts and big second half performances,

164
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: and the script kind of flipped on Saturday against Ohio State,

165
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: that team that we're used to starting cold. They opened

166
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: with a fourteen play sixty one yard drive and scored

167
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: on their opening drive, which we haven't seen from this

168
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 1: offense this year. That was also an eight minute drive.

169
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: It was like eight minutes and six seconds something like that.

170
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: And then they turned around and the defense cashed in

171
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: on a pick six on Ohio State's first drive and

172
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: that made it ten to nothing.

173
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: Penn State.

174
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: Super hot start, and then it was a pretty slow

175
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: downhill slide from that point on. Ohio State scored seventeen

176
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: unanswered following that ten to nothing Penn State run. PSU

177
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: scored three points in the final forty seven minutes of

178
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: the contest. That's just not gonna get it done. They

179
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: really need to figure out how to play a full

180
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: four quarters, full sixty minutes of football because this is

181
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: an elite team if they can just be consistent. We've

182
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: seen the flashes, we saw them against Ohio State. They

183
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: just need to connect the dots, and there is still

184
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: time to do so because they are in playoff contention now.

185
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 1: With the twelve team format, one loss is far from

186
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: an end to your season. They could probably have a

187
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: second one realistically, even.

188
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: Though no one wants that.

189
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,479
Speaker 1: But ten to two, eleven to one, they make the playoffs,

190
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: they can still play at an elite level and maybe

191
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: win some games in the playoffs. So that's definitely something

192
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: to work on. But the hot start was nice to see.

193
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: That was the area that I wanted to include in

194
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: this segment.

195
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: I really like the hot start.

196
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 3: From this team so slow ends to games, I guess

197
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: is the first part of this next segment, which is

198
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 3: areas for improvement.

199
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: But let's jump into.

200
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: What else I saw from the game against the Buckeyes.

201
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: In particular, let me preface this segment by saying that

202
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 1: your issues as a team will typically look worse than

203
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: they are in reality against an elite team like Ohio State.

204
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: Just like your big plays or your strengths as a

205
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: team could be overplayed in the same scenario. Everything's just

206
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: the magnitude is just so much bigger on a bigger stage.

207
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes people just like to overplay things negative or positive. So,

208
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: first of all, the run game that has become a

209
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: serious issue for Penn State. In my opinion, it's kind

210
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: of been on a downhill slope since conference plays started.

211
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: It was another disappointing showing from their running backs in particular,

212
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: which are obviously what the run game is centered around.

213
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: Kitron Allen had twelve carries for twenty seven yards, which

214
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: comes out to two point three yards per carry, and

215
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 1: then Nick Singleton went six for fifteen two and a.

216
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: Half yards per carry.

217
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: The longest carry all game between the two was when

218
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: k Tron went for a seven yard gain. That's just

219
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: absolutely not gonna cut it. Once again, not gonna cut

220
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: it against the Ohio States of the world. Next, the

221
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Penn State wide receivers. They are once again becoming a

222
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: big talking point, especially when discussing this team's offensive struggles.

223
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: PSC wide receivers combined for three catches for forty nine

224
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: yards on Saturday, combined two from Trey Wallace for I

225
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: believe forty five yards, and then Julian caught a pass

226
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: for four yards. The other ten completions went to Tyler

227
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: Warren who had six, and then Nick Singleton who had four.

228
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, flipp those.

229
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: I believe Nick had six actually, so running back led

230
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: your team in receptions, and then Tyler Warren was like

231
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: four for forty seven I believe. And then if excuse me,

232
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,319
Speaker 1: if your receivers just scrap that, I few receivers are

233
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: that much of a non factor. Defenses will stack the

234
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: box and commit to the run, which is what we

235
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: saw on Saturday. You need to stress the defense and

236
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: keep them honest with that constant deep threat, and the

237
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: Nitney Lions just did.

238
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 2: Not have that against Ohio State.

239
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: I still think Trey Wallace is the guy at wide

240
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: receiver one if it's gonna be anyone, and he has

241
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: yet to step into that role following his big two

242
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: touchdown performance against West Virginia to open the season. So

243
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: this is a pretty alarming stat if I've ever seen one, if.

244
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: I've ever spewed one out.

245
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: We are now five games in due conference play this season,

246
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: and no Penn State receiver has scored a.

247
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: Touchdown in those five games.

248
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Moving on, this next one is unlikely to be a

249
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: long term issue, But I had a problem with Tyler

250
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: Warren's volume of touches on the biggest.

251
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: Stage last Saturday.

252
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: Tyler had four catches for forty seven yards and three

253
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: carries on the ground for forty seven yards. So that

254
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: is combined seven total touches for ninety four yards.

255
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 2: Do the quick math.

256
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: That's about thirteen and a half yards every time Warren

257
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: touched the ball, yet he only did so seven times.

258
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Good things happen when the football is in Tyler Warren's hands.

259
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: I think that can go without being stated out loud,

260
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: but here we are.

261
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: Let's not create an issue out of something.

262
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: That should be a big positive, a big plus for

263
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: this team. Get the ball in Tyler Warren's hands. Okay,

264
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: that is gonna do it for today's episode of The

265
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: Penn State Pulse. Thank you guys so much for tuning in.

266

Speaker 1: Cheer Up. We took an l this week, but it

267
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: is white out week now. Penn State is right in

268
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: the thick of the playoff race and this twenty twenty

269
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: four team still has a.

270
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: Ton of big accomplishments to achieve.

271
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: So I need those vibes to be up Ninty Nation,

272
