aubiefifty 17,488 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 Penn State fans chant ‘We want Auburn’ as Nittany Lions finish off win over Ball State Adam Spencer | 13 hours ago 1-2 minutes Penn State fans are excited for this year’s team. After a win over a ranked Wisconsin team on the road last week, the Nittany Lions routed Ball State this week. Now, Penn State will turn its attention to Auburn, as the Tigers head to town next Saturday for a big nonconference matchup. Fans are clearly eager for that game. As you can hear below, in the final couple of minutes of Saturday’s game, students started chanting “We want Auburn!”: "WE WANT AUBURN" chants from the student section. I cannot wait for the White Outpic.twitter.com/1jMttrAGKI — Derek Shuman (@DerekShuman_) September 11, 2021 They’ll have to be careful what they wish for, as Auburn has looked good this year (albeit not against top-tier competition). The Tigers have outscored Akron and Alabama State by a combined score of 122-10. We’ll see if James Franklin’s team or Bryan Harsin’s squad will improve to 3-0 next weekend. this will be such a fun game................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmbseeker00 119 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Well I will say it already sounds like a unanimous pick for the GameDay crew; I highly doubt any of them will pick Auburn. Not that that would be a bad pick, being Penn St. is at home, it is just rare when Auburn is the underdog, to ever be picked by a ESPN GameDay picker. We seem to always be the underdog when GameDay is doing one of our games anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So unless Desmond likes an upset pick, Kirk will abstain bc he's announcing, and the local guy will pick PSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj3jordan 2,110 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I didn’t watch after the games but Game Day was scoffing heavily to even consider Oregon beating OSU. I would love to hear what they had to say about that. Especially Herbie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscaloosaTiger 305 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 I now live up in Maryland and listened to the last quarter of the PSU vs BSU game and postgame program on the PSU radio network. Their broadcast team is excited about the AU game, specifically mentioning Bo Nix and Tank as players to contend with. They are heavily banking on their White Out crowd to be a 12th man against AU. Franklin did not address AU specifically in his postgame comments on the field, but did say PSU would need the White Out crowd to be revved up for the game. AU apparently is considered the top home game for PSU based on AU's selection over Ohio St and UMich for this year's White Out game. The White Out pictures look to me like a stadium of ripe cotton, which should not intimidate AU, especially in our white stormtrooper uniforms that will blend in with the crowd. Should be an intriguing game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiefifty 17,488 Posted September 12, 2021 Author Share Posted September 12, 2021 i imagine harsin and company will be telling the players they have to earn respect and saturday will be the perfect opportunity. i am glad we have harsin because i remember playing penn state in the mud way back and they just killed us. it was embarrassing.

AUx 3,016 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Awesome. The ESPN show talking nonstop about how OhiLow state is still glorious and will/should be in the playoff no matter how many losses - will be there. ESPN already has its SEC stars to market for playoffs. Auburn is a spoiler for them. They so struggle to hide their disdain. Thank goodness for audio from the AU Network, regardless of sync issues! I sure hope it is a stomp down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscaloosaTiger 305 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 AUWent, Thanks for clarification. At least we are considered with more respect than UMich this year. (Perhaps we would also be considered with more respect than tOSU since they just lost to the DUCKs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodford 3,688 Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 PSU wins the toss. Defers to the second half. Kicks a touchback. Auburn starts from their own 25. The stadium is rocking. The sound deafening. Incredible scene. First play of the game: Tank Bigsby runs up the middle for a 30 yard gain. Crowd shuts up. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is the point to the "white out." Visiting QB's, wearing mostly white uni's, will have a more difficult time picking up their WR's blending into the white background. I'm not sure it's a huge factor but I can understand the theory behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why would they schedule Auburn when they could have scheduled someone else. I remember when we rocked FSU 59 - 27 when they were really good ('85). Hoping for one of those kinda games....

Judging from their record during 'white out' games they should already be questioning it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
