Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State heads out to the Midwest to face Indiana

People may not want to hear it but behind a banged up offensive line and not the best of weather, it’s not the best day to give Allar his first start. Should he still play though? Absolutely.

We are seeing it across the big ten today; run, run, and run more in this wind. Look for first team to 20 will win
 
Franklin's still focused on a NY6 bowl which is fine
Ideally the focus would be on 2023 but...
 
When is the last time a game has generated less fan interest than this? The fourth quarter collapse last week significantly depleted enthusiasm. Hope the team doesn‘t have the same hangover or this could be ugly.

I'm still excited about the potential for 10-2 and a possible NY6 bowl bid, Spin.

Very much looking forward to see how the guys bounce back today. I think we win with a lot of room to spare.
 
First play of the game and Penn State is about to be another offensive lineman. Sean Clifford dove and right into the back of Hunter Nourzad's knee.
 
Worth noting, true freshman Drew Shelton making his first career start at left tackle. JB Nelson now in at left guard.
 
Looking on replay, not much Clifford could do on that sack. If he threw it where he wanted to (believe it was Washington), very well could've been a pick.

Last week he got criticized for throwing the ball into defenders hands and not holding onto the ball….now he gets criticized for not throwing into a defenders hands and holding onto it. We’ve got some experts on this board.

Don't understand why on 3rd and 4 against a suck defense PSU doesn't just run the ball. Especially at near the 50 when Franklin should go for it on 4th and 1 if they get stopped. He goes for it against very good defenses but doesn't against suck defenses and it results in inferior oppenents keeping in games.....
 
Goes without saying but Penn State's gameplan today should just be feeding Kaytron Allen with a mix of Nick Singleton.
 
Mitchell Tinsley with his second great catch of the day. Almost was intercepted but the Nittany Lions will be in the red zone after Indiana's timeout.

I don’t think he was criticizing. He was saying Cliff had no choice there.
 
This is what I was expecting from Tinsley from the first game this season. When you catch balls for 1200 yards or whatever he had last season you must have pretty good hands......
