Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State versus Illinois
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Indiana could start 9-0 but Michigan and Ohio State back to back weeks is tough--they really did get the best possible Big Ten schedule. No Penn State, no Oregon, no USC and no Wisconsin (prior to the injury)
No Beau--absolutely should never be on the field when he's not even the best option for the package he runs--Warren is
Plus, when we do it with Warren it isn't obvious by the sub
I definitely think they beat Washington (they're in for a long year IMO) but I'm not sold on Michigan--I'll be rooting for them though as long as it isn't worse for us.
Kick it. Go up 2 scores.
Franklin's strategies aren't really cutting it tonight....

305 total yards and only 14 points. Not much can describe that besides 'yuck'.
Reason #1 why no one should ever bitch about “wasting” a schollie on a top kicker
Defense needs to get the ball back. Illinois defense hanging on for dear life.
Then bench him--we can play it off as he trusts the D but then go with the Warren package or pound the ball with either back
Hate that call because it was obvious that they'd blitz (run blitz)
I don't either, but a 50% chance was a better bet than turnover on downs and still being up only 1 score.
When you don't have reliability inside of 40 yd to get an easy Three points, Eventually you're going to get burned
That's really the frustration this year--they have to be more efficient as the year goes on. Yards have to result in more points because we're dominating other than on the scoreboard.
Until it stops. You've got to mix it up a little. Like a pass on 1st down.
Franklin had his fingers all over the second half of that drive. Just let Kotelnicki do his thing JF, that’s why you brought him in.
That is why you don’t go for it. PSU had all the momentum. Now it is gone. Take the easy points or punt. Always against a decided underdog. Don’t hand them life.
