[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Theo Johnson has made the trip for Penn State and was warming up. First time he’s warmed up this season.

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Redshirt sophomore WR Jaden Dottin is not listed on Penn State's travel roster.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Auburn has won the toss and will defer to the second half.

Penn State will receive the opening kick.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Opening kickoff is a touchback and we are underway in Auburn.

 

[fastlax16]

Targeting?

 

[LandoComando]

Targeting?

Nope--that was clean. Great hit
Horrible decision to go for that

 

[PSUCYCLING]

Targeting?

No. Dumb 4th down call.

 

[psualt]

Nothing like gambling early. With a qb that took a shot play before.

 

[ram2020]

Back to treating our QB like a pinata. Franklin loves it .

 

[fastlax16]

Nothing like giving a bad offense a short field

 

[NittanyChris]

Idiotic call. Absurd.

 

[KCLion]

Franklin with some old crap!

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State went for it on 4th and 1 near midfield but a SEan Clifford QB sneak comes up short. Auburn's ball at Penn State's 48.

 

[RickinDayton]

Targeting?

That was an idiotic decision by Franklin! You do not do that inside your own territory in a hostile environment in the 1st quarter. Way to give Auburn momentum dummy!

 

[pennstatefan111]

Seems we left our brains back in SC. Unbelievably stupid at this point of the game

 

[LandoComando]

This is how you lose to lesser opponents

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

I like the agressiveness there by Penn State not sure that would've been my play call.

 

[diontechristmas]

This may be surprising, but Clifford may be hurt. On him though, be needs to slide.

 

[psualt]

Franklin panics in big games.

 

[j-buff]

Why go for it this early in the game

 

[PSUQBKeeper]

terrible play call on 4th

 

[RickinDayton]

Franklin panics in big games.

Sorry, I have tovturn off the game for a bit. I can't understand his idiotic coaching decisions.

Franklin panics in big games.

 

[LandoComando]

lol Purdue lost to Syracuse

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Really stupid sneak call. We lined up the same way and ran the same thing that Auburn would have seen on tape from that formation. Auburn DL is not Ohio's DL. What was Franklin thinking?

And we did it at an inappropriate spot on the field. Unbelievable.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

A missed coverage allows Shedrick Jackson to get open and Auburn is knocking on the door of a touchdown.

 

[fastlax16]

Auburn looked like they jumped

 

[scrivener]

Sets your defense with a ton of pressure early...I mean what the heck was JF thinking. Unbelievable. Just handed them pts

 

[LandoComando]

I don't necessarily mind going for 4th and less than a yard at midfield BUT not after Clifford took that hit and not given how poor this Auburn offense is. You kick it and make them drive the length of the field. Field position is going to be huge in this game.
