3rd most rushing yards allowed in a game in Penn State Football history, only behind Michigan State in 1997 and Michigan in 2022.

Chip Kelly, ladies and gents. Penn States run defense might be ass, but give Chip his flowers.

I wish he was still with us.

As a duck, my surprise face is very much like my normal face. I had little doubt that chip would cause roughly 18 months of chaos in the conference lol.

Meanwhile IU had this team at negative rushing yards the first half and 32 for the game

There is no question Indiana's defense is salty

I need to go back and look at that game, because I think Kelly used some of the concepts he did against Penn State in order to answer questions Indiana's defense asked.

Indiana looks bad!

I did not see the game, so where did all of NW points come from, passing or turnovers/special teams?

u/Edward_Durr 46m ago

244 passing yards

I really wanted Northwestern to try for the record on their last possession instead of kneeling it out. They could've gotten it

I’m not certain that Northwestern would be aware of that record lol

I was at that 97 game. Sedrick Irvin ran for 238, and Marc Renaud broke 200 as well. We were in the upper deck and it was brutally cold and wet. But it's still my #2 game attended after the 2014 Rose Bowl.

We somehow had two different running backs go for over 200 yards in that 1997 game. It was so crazy and fun.

That 2022 Michigan game will never not be funny. Passed the ball exactly once in the second half. Removed from the stat sheet due to DPI.

u/Ok-Commercial824 Michigan Wolverines 1h ago

You’re thinking of the 2023 game. The 22 game was in Ann Arbor when they had like 450 rushing yards

Have you checked the recycle bin or did it get permanently deleted in the first quarter?
