Hopefully Onwenu's injury isn't serious because he was having a great game. Definitely can't afford to lose an OL starter.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:21 PM ^
Hopefully just a precaution with the way the score was at the time. I'm worried about Ty. He's been pretty ground down all season.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:03 PM ^
Hello Mr. Peters! So glad to finally meet you!!
October 28th, 2017 at 3:11 PM ^
There's been plenty of insider information saying he's not ready for this year
October 28th, 2017 at 3:12 PM ^
obviously he’s not! Right? Right??
October 28th, 2017 at 3:14 PM ^
Way too quiet, just won't speak up and so the team won't follow him.
October 28th, 2017 at 4:41 PM ^
I'm sure I'm reading too much into it but I thought Higdon's postgame comments about being buddies with Peters were funny. Almost like he threw that in there to dispel the rumors that Peters is a lonely Rainman-type lol.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:17 PM ^
it was Jim Harbaugh
October 28th, 2017 at 3:19 PM ^
“Insider” information saying he was a recruiting mistake and that he would never be ready
October 28th, 2017 at 5:51 PM ^
My two cents: from the 70th row of the big house, the word that came to mind when watching Peters from his first throw was "quiet." He just looks very smooth, and his ball comes out very quietly, even when it has some zip on it. I am very encouraged because if we get to point where we are showing very good quarterback play, the Death Star should be complete. Or, at least as complete as this staff can put together in a program where the recruits aren't paid and the players actually have to also be students at the university.
October 28th, 2017 at 7:55 PM ^
Those same insiders said O'Korn was unstoppable during his redshirt year. So yeah I don't care what they say.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:45 PM ^
I've heard that before.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:03 PM ^
Game recap for those that missed it:
Greetings friends of MGoBlog, have you heard the good news about our Lord and Savior, Brandon Peters?
October 28th, 2017 at 3:04 PM ^
Satisfactory.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:24 PM ^
In Brian's write up, we read that Rutgers had ZERO sacks on the year. Well, now they don't.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:39 PM ^
for Harbaugh to put in Peters.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:04 PM ^
Winning is more fun than losing.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:04 PM ^
Thank you for your services but you are free to transfer
October 28th, 2017 at 3:05 PM ^
He should retire. Not going pro, don't risk your future mobility
October 28th, 2017 at 3:07 PM ^
Harbaugh shouldn’t allow him back on the team... for safety purposes
October 28th, 2017 at 3:10 PM ^
Generally speaking, it's not a great idea to encourage the transfer of your best QB.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:13 PM ^
To transfer? You guys not see the last 7 games from Speight?
October 28th, 2017 at 3:18 PM ^
Our eyes were closed.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:21 PM ^
Did you see that O'Korn game at Purdue? Why was Speight ever playing, right?
October 28th, 2017 at 7:32 PM ^
Wait, D-Caff is transferring?
October 28th, 2017 at 3:16 PM ^
This was also the take following O'Korn's game against Purdue. Slow your roll, maybe.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:25 PM ^
Speight broke his fucking neck playing for us. Nevermind his collarbone.
Go to hell.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:32 PM ^
What would motivate you to say something like this?
October 28th, 2017 at 3:42 PM ^
This is a deplorable comment, especially with Speight nursing 3 broken vertabrae in his neck.
October 28th, 2017 at 4:09 PM ^
You seem like the type to die mad about it.
"It" being whatever it is your tiny intellect has last taken offense to.
October 28th, 2017 at 4:20 PM ^
just uncalled for. kid has been thru a lot in his career. great competitor imho.
and a bit early to anoint Peters. he looked really good - just like Okorn at Purdue.
to be clear, i thought Peters looked very confident and i am optimistic.just not ready to discard Speight.
October 28th, 2017 at 4:41 PM ^
Why would you ever say this? Are you really just a Penn State fan?
October 28th, 2017 at 9:10 PM ^
There is no way Speight does not get a fifth year. Also, perhaps want to see more than one Rutgers game before going all Brady Quinn here
October 28th, 2017 at 9:52 PM ^
but, were it possible, I'd down vote this one a few dozen times.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:04 PM ^
Showed nice touch on throws, something that's been lacking for a while
October 28th, 2017 at 3:04 PM ^
and running game came to play. They were doing well even before Peters came in. After they were even better but they played well from opening snap
October 28th, 2017 at 3:04 PM ^
Whole game changed when Peters came in. I say we keep doing that and see what happens.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:04 PM ^
Peters' decision making and progression reads looked to be in another class from either O'Korn or 2017 Speight. Feel a lot better with him in charge.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:11 PM ^
The quicker decisions and throws were a huge difference.
Can't get too up or down over small sample sizes though; Peters did a lot of good things but that last throw on 4th down was just horrifically bad.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:15 PM ^
yeah, but it was the correct decision, which is the most important part
October 28th, 2017 at 4:24 PM ^
seemed like thar was THE target for the play.
Speight always seemed to make the right decision. (NOT dissing Speight)
delivering the football ON TARGET is just as important.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:17 PM ^
Agree, found it a little.worrisome, but I'm putting it down to rushing the throw and having it be a learning experience.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:31 PM ^
It was bad, but that was the worst effort I've seen from a receiver on fourth down in a long time.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:34 PM ^
It hit the turf 10 yards short.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:45 PM ^
Live, it looked that bad. But I played it back a couple of times. The receiver acted like he didn't even see it. The ball wasn't thrown hard, so there was time to come back and make a play. I don't know if he could have caught it, but there was no effort there.
October 28th, 2017 at 4:07 PM ^
yeah well if that throw on fourth down, up by three touchdowns is the worst throw a guy makes in a game shouldnt you be happy? Finding the one thing he didnt do perfectly in your eyes is why fans get so upset around here, because that is not the way to look at performances.
October 28th, 2017 at 4:35 PM ^
Who's unhappy?
October 28th, 2017 at 3:20 PM ^
I hate to be Debbie Downer but while his pocket presence and accuracy were indeed better, he hardly ever came off his primary read and never got past his second either. Not really unexpected for a RS FR in his first extended PT, he definitely showed a ton of promise.
October 28th, 2017 at 3:28 PM ^
Because he didn't need to much. His decisions were considerably better than O'Korn's.
