Subject: P 20 Penn 17 Author: Bengal [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:57:32 11/24/24 Sun A good end to a disappointing season. The defense came up big and both teams clearly had not given up on their seasons. Turnovers did Penn in for the second year in a row. Although the worst and most needless TO was the 4th quarter sideline pick Hipa threw, instead of throwing the ball away. He did have a number of good plays. Great to see Volker, who battled injury for much of his career, shine. Another ominous sign for the League if Hosely carries through with a transfer. A terrific back who I won’t miss if he does leave. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: P 20 Penn 17 Author: P-Fan [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 08:44:10 11/24/24 Sun It's always good to win the last game. Defense made crucial plays when needed, something that didn't happen much during the season. Was happy for Volker and the rest of the seniors. Still not sold on Hipa but Surace must believe he will be much better next year. Also, while he has quick feet, he doesn't have good speed. He just can't get away at times, even from linebackers. The freshman (Friend)coming in next year took over for Arch Manning and looks like a really good prospect. Tigers need to stay healthy next year and they will be fine.

I expect Coach will have to truly assess all areas this offseason. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Valmas (Stoic, still) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:22:56 11/24/24 Sun Interesting to note that all it takes is a team going 5-2 in IL play for its fan base to begin to view the IL referees in a less negative light. Of course, many of these "fine" people felt the CNN moderators of last June's POTUS debate performed in a sterling and unbiased capacity, too! Cheers, B! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: P 20 Penn 17 Author: Jerrylh [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 15:46:27 11/24/24 Sun I'm not as negative on Hippa as you guys seem to be. He has a lot of skills. His problem is poor decision making both in the pocket and in his passing choices. Hopefully, he can correct these deficiencies next year. I am not put off by his lack of speed. Also, I wouldn't count on a freshman to come in next year and start. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Hipa's problem is... Author: Go Green [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:15:28 11/24/24 Sun ... a lousy line. Admittedly, I only saw Princeton play Dartmouth. But the poor guy was running for his life most of the game. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
