    UCF don't seem to trust their QB too much, pretty conservative there.

    What a waste, 1 yard and could not get it.

    Interception:D

    Decent game so far, competitively looks better than Notre Dame-Navy a couple of years ago.

    Hackenberg looks so poised in the pocket, apart from the interception i've been very impressed by him so far.

    15,000 Penn state fans travelled, great for the country.

    Did well to convert on that last 3rd-down blitz.

    I'm half way between them & have to say, Penn State are really bringing it with the supporters & cheerleaders.

    UCF just seem to be standing around for most of it with very little energy, whereas PS are engaging every section of the stands

    It always annoys me but whenever foreigner arrive in this country it seems that the official line is that hurling is pretty much the only sport we actually play .Apparently we're mad for hurling in this country despite most counties not bothering with it (unfortunately).If we promoted hurling as much to the people of this country we'd be much better off

    Iarnrod Eireann reported he landed on the railway tracks behind Hill 16.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,335 ✭✭✭padraig_f

    Good throw and TD. The defence was meh. But the time left can be there undoing


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 12,333 ✭✭✭✭JONJO THE MISER

    Yeah, great craic. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Was hoping UCF would make a stand at the end but not to be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,510 ✭✭✭baby and crumble


    That's was a great game! My first time ever seeing live football, only got sucked in in the last few years. Now I reeeeeally want to see if I can get tickets to one of the Wembley games! The Penn State support was great, really cool to be in the thick of it.

    In case anyone was wondering, yes there was someone at Croke Park today wearing a Jonny Manziel jersey!

    Great ending! GO PENN STATE! Didn't see much of the game as I had to play host for the game party I threw. Luckily I dvr'd it and will watch the whole game after the hangover. Irish Mist was the drink of the day, went threw two bottles doing shots.

    Fantastic game.

    Made a converted out of my brother who begrudgingly came along, moaning right up to the start about how ****e AF is. He was screaming at the pitch at the end and has just called me to find out when the next one is..

    (when is the next one ?)
