TBS sucks.

Ummm, it’s TNT

 

[PAgeologist]

Ummm, it’s TNT

Same thing basically.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

I’m lol this guy has a bet with someone for how many times he can say "interminable" on air today

Reminds me of Oswald Bates from In Living Color

 

[LandoComando]

Allen and Singleton now at about 7 yards a carry

 

[NittanyChris]

Dinkins is a Helluva blocker also.

 

[GSPMax]

There we go, "the delgrosso red zone".

 

[LandoComando]

Ummm, it’s TNT

It's also on TBS

 

[slykens]

TD Allen coming up.

 

[SLion]

Fatman could have played on those old hard nose Paterno teams

Fatman gets 5 yards after contact and bulldozes DL, wearing them down. Such a key piece to whether W or L.

 

[LandoComando]

FBS is going to be very much like FCS with home playoff games

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

Fatman loves him the end zone

Did you watch the game? Go away, along with your size 18 font.

my eyesight is bad and the font on this cheap pad is tiny. God bless you and bless your heart

 

[LandoComando]

Not sure why the announcers didn't see this coming

 

[Chickenman Testa]

I’ve got to give credit to SMUs cheerleaders. Even when getting killed, you can hear them chanting “defense” above the din. Cheerleading is serious business in Texas. And they’re likely really hot - alas bundled up today

 

[AvgUser]

It's also on TBS

Hmm. Yes it is. I di not see that. Apologies

 

[GSPMax]

Nice rebound today after the ccg.

 

[knickslions]

Don't like what I'm seeing from this team after the play. That could have been construed as taunting by Allen. You don't celebrate when the other team is right in front of you. In fact you don't celebrate at all as that takes away time that you should be using to get ready for the next play.

Why is it that Franklin won't school his team on this stuff? Coach Allen too? Way too emotional. Doesn't lead to being well focused on execution.

You can’t be happy can you lol

 

[LandoComando]

Hmm. Yes it is. I di not see that. Apologies

No worries--it's weird because they never mentioned it was on TBS. I just saw that because those two channels are back to back with my cable

 

[Jerry]

SMU going through the motions now.

What a great game it's been to watch. Frustrating at times but they all are at times.

Botton line: our first playoff game and we're blowing our opponent out. Franklin needed this. The program needed it. Hell, I needed it.

 

[LandoComando]

Nice rebound today after the ccg.

Getting SMU helped--nice way to ease into the playoff

Nothing wrong with what he did.

Go scold the aliens that they’re not acting appropriately.

Yeah the OLine has been poor. SMU Dline better than Oregon's then factor in weather maybe making it difficult for the OLine? Not sure in cold weather if the DLine has an advantage over the OLine?

Cold weather lends itself to the team who is more physical and makes the least mistakes.

Today, that is us.

wonder if they went to the OL and said "this is your game now"

The gut punching from earlier has paid off. Our backs are averaging 7.3 and 6.4 ypc now on 23 rushes. Nick needs 12, Fatman 30 for them both to break 100.

OL and TEs blocking very well now.

 

[PennState_one]

This team finds so many ways to win. Definitely not always pretty tho.

 

[rrdd2021]

These refs seem to call holding the same way as the Big Ten refs

The SMU fans are screaming about it. It's hilarious. Same BS out of every losing fan base. "It can't be us, it has to be the crooked refs."

 

[cntblvitsbutter]

Think Jennings has nfl potential as a wideout.

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

You can’t be happy can you lol

I am thinking about what it takes to win a championship, not just to beat up on a 2nd tier ACC team. I am thinking about what our players and coaches need to do to get better.

But sure, I am always happy to get a win.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

Wylie held worse than the starters have been holy cow

 

[LandoComando]

54 has held more today than Oregon and Ohio State players combined

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Ethan Grunkemeyer coming in for Penn State.

 

[Jerry]

Objective now: no injuries. Wouldn't mind subbing out big-time.

 

[LandoComando]

Ethan Grunkemeyer coming in for Penn State.

Hopefully Corey Smith too

 

[LandoComando]

We definitely didn't miss Beau today

 

[NCLION]

For us too advance we need to start running the ball earlier
And get Allar in groove earlier
We can’t win going forward with zero contribution from the WR group

 

[lazydave841]

Big game ball to Tom Allen. We heard about how fast these WRs were. Be like Oregon all over. They've stepped up big. LBs best game of the year. Under 250 yards at this point and 3 pts given up.

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

Ethan Grunkemeyer coming in for Penn State.

college football world explodes when Grunk runs the offense and throws a touchdown pass

 

[PennSt8er]

wonder how we would've done against Bama

 

[LandoComando]

For us too advance we need to start running the ball earlier
And get Allar in groove earlier
We can’t win going forward with zero contribution from the WR group

We can beat Boise similar to this
We might even be able to beat ND or UGa if we play like this
We've already seen we can move the ball against Orgon
Truly believe today's about the weather

 

[SR108]

For us too advance we need to start running the ball earlier
And get Allar in groove earlier
We can’t win going forward with zero contribution from the WR group

A complete game would be nice, all three phases.

 

[LandoComando]

No no no--take Singleton out

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Getting SMU helped--nice way to ease into the playoff

Like a nice warm bath after shoveling the driveway.
