I appreciate the subtle but profound call out to the “late, great Joe Paterno”
Well done by whichever Jones guy stated that

Football Defense powers Penn State to 38-10 win over SMU in CFP First Round
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
So, after all your blathering, you agree that yes, Beau was better because he had more experience.
Was that so hard Loado?
Not better--he was ahead of him because of experience--read
If Drew would have actually missed an extended period of time this year Grunk would have eventually taken over
He's very athletic but he sucks catching balls in traffic, surviving the ground, or winning 50/50 balls.
Experience that made him better. You are admitting it and fighting it at the same time Loado. You do realize that don't you? Is that from the Loado school of logic and reasoning?
Not better--it made them keep him in case of an injury so they kept him higher on the depth chart since they were going to use him for gadget plays--almost every Penn State fan knew that Grunk was brought in to be our "next" QB--thankfully we got lucky and Drew is helping us by staying delaying that a year
Vanover still in the game? There must be 5 or 6 young DE's that could be out there. Need the 2 deep out now. Don't need a late injury.
Yup, you guys could be right.
Personally, I just want to get this thing over with right now...take the big W...get outta there with no injuries...the more quickly the better.
This clown could explain away death. He’s not dead, he’s just resting.
Once again many on here prove why this is the worst fanbase ever.
Nice win despite some early struggles by the Offense and some very questionable decisions by the staff. Didn't see any major injuries.
Get ready for Boise St.
Get ready for Boise St.
That went well. Low stress win, came out healthy and shook the cobwebs off.
We’ll get to play in perfect weather 10 days from now against a rusty team that is not as good as us.

Exactly. So we can get by SMU and probably Boise State. What then? Not being ready for the snap, missing tackles, and making stupid personal foul penalties is not going to get it done against Notre Dame or Georgia.
What's the goal? NY6 Bowl or an NC? The latter will take a much higher standard of play.
Penn State Postgame Show -- SMU College Football Playoff Edition
Join the Happy Valley Insider staff to discuss Penn State Football College Football Playoff game versus SMU on Saturday.
Per AWS: Good fanbases must either have low standards, or keep their standards to themselves. And of course coaches can do no wrong since they are not on the field of play.
Just because people call out coaching and bad plays doesn’t mean we are the worst fan base. Have you ever sat in the stands at an Ohio state game when they are losing? Just as ridiculous as us. Watching our offense in the first 20 minutes makes you understand why we lose big games. You can’t play like crap and get away with it with top tier teams. You need 4 quarters of your best game. We usually don't do that.
Every game is different….not sure why people can’t figure that out. For example, our offense looked great against Oregon, that didn’t carry over this game. Our defense looked terrible against Oregon, that didn’t carry over today. How we do one game is not indicative of how we will play the next game.
I need to get in touch with my alien overlords ... I swear you were on the list to be abducted so we didn't have to be annoyed by you any longer. Even aliens make mistakes.
If I remember correctly, you didn't even understand the basics of the bowl and playoff structure ... you thought we'd get a bowl game AFTER we participated in, and were eliminated from, the playoffs. Let's slow our roll just a bit about what we are and are not capable of, 'kay, pumkin?
We just played like poo and still curbstomped a playoff opponent. Don't worry, be happy.
Per AWS: good fan bases appreciate a 38-10 win in the first round of the playoffs. They don’t spend most of the game bitching about a coach going for it on 4th and short, saying their coach is dumb and wears a dunce cap. They also don’t point out every poor play and act like that’s going to cost them the next game. They also don’t claim that their team only won because the other team was bad. With fans like that, who needs enemies?
Did the first 20 minutes of the game cause us to lose? No. And very seldom does any team play four quarters at their best…that’s not how sports work.
Grab some popcorn if Tennessee leads at any point this evening.
As usual, you exaggerate. The things I see are not different from game to game. They have been symptomatic of every game, and Franklin teams in particular:
- Celebrations after making a routine play.
- Stupid personal foul penalties.
- Missing tackles.
These things don't lead to championships. If your goal is to get to a nice bowl game then maybe you are doing enough. But that's not growth. It's not improvement. It doesn't lead to your being the best.
ESPN produced the game--both Saban and Herbie have mentioned Paterno in a positive light
