Photos & quick thoughts from the Pitt game

0 comments



It's been almost a week, yet my heart rate is still a little elevated. The Penn State win over Pitt was one of the most exciting noon kickoff games I've experienced in a very long time, if not the most exciting ever. It was frustrating, for sure, but a tough win that Penn State probably needed more than it wanted. Games like that teach a team to take nothing for granted. Let's hope the young Nittany Lions learned from it and use this off-week to get themselves mentally ready for Maryland. 

Since this was the first game in a while that I've shot and have been able to process a few photos quick enough to be relevant, here are some shots of the day. The brightness could've been boosted in most of them, but honestly, I didn't have enough time to finely tune the final photographs. My favorite shot of the day is the one at the top of this post. But the rest are below, including the amazing-catch-that-wasn't by Dan Chisena. Oh man, did I want that catch to be ruled complete. It could've been, but we know the refs weren't giving anything to Penn State that day. 

One final update is that the stadium PA system music is still too loud, too annoying, and kills the atmosphere of the stadium more often than it helps. It even drowned out Dean's voice announcing relevant information about the plays. Not sure who isn't paying attention enough to stop this, but it's getting ridiculous.

2010 Penn State vs Michigan State
(Photos: Mike/LBU)
Though it was another tough home loss--not as bad as the Illinois loss, at least--for the Nittany Lions, I managed to get some decent photos this weekend. As always, if you didn't know the final score, you'd be led to believe Penn State won the game by these shots. So enjoy it, and pretend Evan Royster ran for 200 yards and 4 touchdowns while the defense burried the Spartans. It's fun to pretend.

It was one of the sweetest ways to win Joe Paterno's 400th career victory. From the stress of Dan Persa owning the Penn State defense for a 21-0 Wildcat lead, to the Nittany Lions offense erupting for 35 unanswered points, to the defense coming up with one of the most impressive in-game turnarounds we've seen in a long, long time.

Since we can still savor the moment before focusing on Ohio State, here is the first round of photos from the game. It was incredible to see it in person. Too bad Penn State fans couldn't even fill the stadium to capacity. It was embarrassing, but we'll touch on that later. For now, enjoy...

This game was just as much fun to shoot as it was to watch. For a few plays here and there, I found myself completely reverting back into fan-mode. Just after the first touchdown, my heart was racing, the crowd was going nuts, and the thought first crossed my mind: "Penn State may actually pull this off tonight."

As always, I will add in more photos as the weekend closes out, and probably more on Monday. So don't think this is all I have.

I will say this right off the top, though it may not have been the biggest play of the night, my absolute favorite photo in this set is of Joe Suhey hurdling Stefen Wisniewski on a screen pass. It just screams "Penn State football." Enjoy...

Ok, maybe the Michigan fan flipping off the Penn State crowd was a good one, too.

Penn State fought back to beat Temple 22-13, sparked by an opportunistic defense in the second half, and some big plays on offense.

Penn State was kind enough to give us a press pass for the Blue-White Game. I ended up with about 700 photos--about 380 were usable. Here are about 60 or so of those shots, what I feel were some of the best ones of the day. I'll add in the captions later today. Be sure to tell us which ones were your favorites in the comments section. Enjoy...
