Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State versus Illinois

[RickinDayton]

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.

I don't like this. Feeling like the Ole Miss vs Kentucky today.

 

[NittanyChris]

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

In his head at this point. Put in the kid from Columbia.

 

[LandoComando]

Altmyer had Bryant there

I don't like this. Feeling like the Ole Miss vs Kentucky today.

Nah--Kentucky was the better team for a lot of that game

 

[GregInPitt]

Nice play by Rojas. Finally makes a play, i.e. a positive one....

And right on queue, off sides......

And then on the INT a blatant block in the back. COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY

 

[LandoComando]

Yet again--no discipline

DDS come on... What a total bust that guy is

 

[LMTLION]

No fullimg discipline.

 

[PurposePitch]

What a dummy

 

[LandoComando]

Illinois at least gave it back

 

[Onionbelly]

What a dumb block in the back.

 

[LandoComando]

Another stupid unnecessary block in the back
These kids need to be disciplined

 

[ram2020]

Dumbest block in the back I've ever seen on an interception, this team is so dumb

 

[jbenedict]

That ws such a stupid play.

 

[LandoComando]

What a dumb block in the back.

Just f***** stupid. No need for it and it was obvious

 

[SUPERTODD]

THAT WAS THE DUMBEST FLAG IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL. Why the **** would you block him in the back when he was gone? Jeezus.

 

[psualt]

Easy Td. Who does that?

[scrivener]

What an absolutely stupid dumb block in the back. Our team is just stupid...so dumb

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

This defense is killing me. A free 7 points and they do the worlds second dumbest block in the back.

 

[LandoComando]

We can't even be happy about a big play because someone screws it up for absolutely no reason

 

[RickinDayton]

No fullimg discipline.

Block in the back during the return. Absolutely no reason. How dumb! This team needs their back sides kicked!

 

[PurposePitch]

Another dummy

 

[Nostraduzzi]

This is freekin incredibly horribly coached from top to bottom. Get a freekin field goal kicker you can count on!!! If they win this you can still count on 3 losses

I don’t see 2 more wins on the schedule.

 

[NittanyChris]

Moronic play by Tracy when the runner was past him

 

[LionDeNittany]

Stupid D plays on two out of three plays.

Offsides and Block in the back

 

[jbenedict]

Is IQ measured at all when recruiting these guys

 

[GregInPitt]

Why does a player block in the back when your DB buddy is 5 yards in front of everyone and has a clear path to the end zone?????

PSU clearly the best team. But also clearly the most clueless team.

 

[fkkkjm]

This team has some real stiffs. Kicker sucks. 33 jumping offside and doing nothing all game. 6 not form tackling. Now 7 with an absolutely idiotic penalty. Typical Franklin shit.

 

[fastlax16]

unbelievably stupid. game was over if he doesnt pull that shit.

 

[Zone-Blitz]

Does anyone in Penn State media ever ask the man about these F’N constant offsides and what they’re going to do to correct it??

 

[fkkkjm]

"Penalties don't really affect game outcomes" JF

Did he really say that? I’d fire him for that comment alone.

 

[jmorovich]

So I’ll ask again…This D makes crushing penalties every week. Coaching or players? I don’t remember this last year, with different coach.

 

[LandoComando]

Why does a player block in the back when your DB buddy is 5 yards in front of everyone and has a clear path to the end zone?????

Because there's no discipline. Franklin and his staff clearly don't hold them accountable.
That absolutely can't happen

 

[psrurock]

Why Zion!?????? You had the.play in front of you.

 

[psualt]

Carter is in front of the tackler. I can’t understand at all

 

[YeOldeCup]

What a dumb block in the back.

Yep. This is not a smart defensive team. Had Carter simply turned and checked for trailers, no need for that to happen at all. Guys too concerned about being in the TD entourage.

 

[Crusher1950]

Folks let’s face it there are 15 teams better than us

 

[fastlax16]

Might be the most blatantly stupid decision since we didnt go down before scoring against Indiana to ice the game in 2020.
