Football James Franklin's gusty decisions help seal 26-25 victory for Penn State

lol Penn state 244 yards passing Minnesota 175.

We beat Minneapolis in every measurable stat except for 3rd down conversions.

It wasn't pretty, but it's a win. The same "this will be a tough game" posters act shocked during the game thread that we aren't winning by 30. Some outright predict losses then get mad the Minny didn't lay down from the opening snap.

Well, we can stop complaining about other teams getting the calls

PSU is head and shoulders better than IU. Minnesota had a week to get healthy. They threw the kitchen sink at PSU today. Fleck is a weird dude but given that much time can come up with a really good game plan. As a long time coach myself, I take any win even not playing well. You survive those types of games, it makes you start to believe. Which is the key always.
So many on here say that Fleck is a better coach than Franklin, then we have a close game with him and they’re surprised….I don’t get it. Either he’s a good coach or he isn’t.

Seriously. This team is hard to watch too often. WVERY team we play has good WR play. Even so so teams. Why??? It should not be painful to win like this.
There are plenty of teams with two losses who wish one of those losses was a “painful win”.

It just had to be Minnesota coming off a bad loss and a bye week.

And we survived it!

Bucknuts ran the clock out on PSU in a similar situation. That’s what good teams do.
We’ll see what happens.

We didn't run it down their throats, but we closed the game out.

'Ole Miss losing helps Indiana, but Indians better hope that aTm doesn't beat Texas...

Indiana's in trouble--Cignetti knew it too and that's why he ran clock then was livid Ohio State scored late--he wanted people to think it was competitive when it wasn't.

Lots of things can save Indiana though. Notre Dame losing, Vandy beating Tennessee, Auburn beat A&M or Bama, GT beat UGa, etc

Because we absolutely got the key calls tonight, including some bad ones. Probably won because of it. That's how football goes, but hopefully we can stop sounding like complete whiners about the Big Ten favoring other teams.

A win is a win. But for those judging between us and Indiana, not sure we're head and shoulders better.

I'll take it, all things considered.
