Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State versus Illinois

[PurposePitch]

Down. Give it right back to him.

 

[LandoComando]

I'm 100% convinced Allar's told to underthrow the ball

 

[YeOldeCup]

Allar has a persistent tendency to underthrow deep patterns.

 

[NittanyChris]

O Line is killing it.

 

[GregInPitt]

There have been a couple times on the read/option that Allar should have kept it. Like on that 2nd down play.....

Franklin said it on his press conference this week

 

[LandoComando]

Please kick this one

 

[YeOldeCup]

Jeebus

 

[LandoComando]

Okay pull his scholarship

Power I... or our version of it with the RB behind the QB was working fine.

Then we went away from it.

 

[GregInPitt]

Allar has a persistent tendency to underthrow deep patterns.

He looked to be falling back away from the rush on that one.

 

[trotjx]

Franklin knows he does not have a kicker

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Trust the coach on the kicker selection guys.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Clean out this kid’s locker. Go raid the soccer team.

 

[RickinDayton]

Jeebus

He needs to be benched.

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

That’s now 3 long, clock-eating drives for 0 points. Can we just send Sahaydak into the portal right now, please?

 

[ram2020]

Pretty embarrassing to fancy yourself a top 10 program and have this kind of kicking

 

[SLion]

Kid needs to go to pine...experiment over. Head case

 

[LandoComando]

Franklin knows he does not have a kicker

It's his job to have one--he should have kicked it last time so he could have tried the other kid this time if needed
You have to have a kicker

 

[scrivener]

It makes sense that we pass up the shorter field goal last time only to do this longer one

 

[BBHorn86]

Time to put this game away. Don’t want to see it come down to a late Illinois drive in a 1 score game. Don’t think my heart can take that.

It's coming... get ready or go to bed

 

[ryoder1]

Well we thought he had improved since WVU but nope. Absolutely killing us.

 

[slykens]

I feel like Franklin knows they can’t lose so we see lots of poor decision making.

I can only hope he is right.

 

[NittanyChris]

You wonder why he went for it before?

 

[ram2020]

It makes sense that we pass up the shorter field goal last time only to do this longer one

Franklin special

 

[LandoComando]

335 yards and 14 point--just unacceptable

 

[scrivener]

Our special teams sucks big time...we have zero return game and a FG kicker that is beyond bad.

 

[fkkkjm]

Please pull sanders scholarship if he has one. Kid is useless.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Clean out this kid’s locker. Go raid the soccer team.

We have better kickers

 

[LMTLION]

Franklin cannot get out of his own way . This is the worst coached game in a long time. Pass the fukking ball more often.

 

[SUPERTODD]

So what are we at? PSU favored by 18? Franklin gave away 6-12 points? So Franklin is worth normally 10 points to the opposing team in a tight game? Gamblers have to factor that in at some point.

 

[jmorovich]

How do we not have a football player that can kick FG’s??

 

[LandoComando]

You wonder why he went for it before?

But that's why he can't. He has to figure out if he has to go to another kicker which now he does.
Sander can never attempt another kick at Penn State at this point--he's done. Leave

 

[NittanyChris]

Absolutely unreal this is a one score game.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

Kid needs to go to pine...experiment over. Head case

He pushed it slightly last time. This time he overcorrected. Terrible mechanics

 

[psu00]

Well, sink or swim and he sunk. Time for a new kicker. Can’t go through the season with a kicker with the yips.

 

[SR108]

It's coming... get ready or go to bed

Yep, Illinois goes the field for a TD.

 

[LandoComando]

lol Blackledge hates his life tonight "ground can't cause a fumble" in a tone I'd use

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

3rd and 7 Warren wildcat

 

[YeOldeCup]

It's just a damn slant guys!!!
