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

You play to win the game. You don’t give up on a season because of two losses and bench a senior for a freshman (unless you think the freshman gives you a better chance to win now). I’d never send my kid to a program that throws in the towel at 6-2.
Franklin does not learn from his mistakes. He is who he is. Unfortunately, we are stuck with him now. I believe he will always be mediocre
We don't know. Recruits see us losing to Indiana and other low-lever schools as a fluke or potentially their opportunity to play early. Top recruits see the gap between us and Ohio State/Michigan and they realize it's time to jump.
Do you truly believe recruits care more about this game than watching Michigan embarrass us?
What are we playing for right now? Division, Conference and playoff are all gone, right?
He's only beginning to put it all together. Next year he has a chance to be an All-Big Ten linebacker, if not an All-American IMO.
Our coaches have completely given up the ability to utilize a slant route or throw reliably to the TE's. We live and die on deep go routes it feels like.
what's disappointing is that since Morehead left our offenses have been so pedestrian
Yep, and no matter what QB is out there the team will be playing to win and not "throwing in the towel". But with Clifford's performance the last game and a half it's hard to believe that Allar would not have as least as good of a chance to lead this team against IU, and the benefit for the future of PSU football is obvious.
You’re a moron. Can you leave? Your ****ing act is getting old
What are we playing for? What part of what I said was wrong?
Can we win the division?
Can we win the conference?
Can we make the playoff?
So--we're playing to get a better meaningless bowl game?
Theo Johnson just took a big late hit, looked rather clean from a helmet-to-helmet stand point. It was called unnecessary roughness. Also notable, Sean Clifford horribly overthew Johnson on the play.
Why are you ****ing here then? Go watch another game douche
I didn't say "we don't know". I said YOU don't know. And recruits don't see it as a fluke when it happens year after year.
The gap between PSU and OSU/UM is no different today than it was before ANY of the 2023 recruits committed. Recruits had every reason to believe PSU would not compete with those teams based on the previous year, but PSU was actually competitive with OSU as anyone that watched the game would know.
It's not about caring more. It's about the performances that add up to negativity that other coaches use to flip recruits, including getting blown out by UM as well as not blowing out suck teams and actually potentially losing to suck teams. But keep trying to talk your way out of the stupid statements you make. You double and triple down on the stupid statements you make which is why I generally don't converse with you. Bye.
Dude, just mute the ahole. Its what i did. Will improve the board by people not listen to this assclown.
Thats silly.
We are playing for the best possible record.
Everyone knows tha the best we can do is a good bowl game.
Even if only marginally so, 10-2 >. 9-3
If the defender was wearing a white uniform, he would have been ejected. Guaranteed
Right. We want the best record but if lose what's the impact? I don't understand why anyone is confused by this
I also don't know why people still pretend bowl games matter
Kaytron Allen is a damn good running back. Just a terrific drive out of him and he makes four men miss on the way to the end zone from a few yards out.
Penn Sate 21 - Indiana 7
Penn Sate 21 - Indiana 7
We shouldn’t throw downfield rest of day
Just work the run game
Just work the run game
Uhhhhhhh..... yea, it was old several weeks ago - like all the posing-fan trolls.
Why would a team keep playing for a Top 10 Ranking and a NY6 Bowl Bid??? Only douche-bag ASWPer boy posing-troll knows.
Singleton needs some more time and it makes sense. Singleton his whole life has been able to get by on his tools alone, he didn't face a ton of strong talent growing up. Allen came out of a powerhouse known for producing running backs, he needed to be a much more complete back in high school than Singleton.
Jack Tuttle is down after Penn State's latest sack. Looks like he reached for his shoulder/collarbone area.
