Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State versus Illinois

[j-buff]

That was a horrible penalty we just keep screwing up

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

It's time for the team to clean up the stadium. Defensive players must stay longer and work overtime.

 

[SLion]

So much talent on this D yet I don't know if ever witnessed a team that can't stop itself from making ridiculously stupid decisions. Regardless of outcome, Franklin needs to take control and slap Allen plus his undisciplined crew into place.

 

[ryoder1]

Another stupid penalty takes 6 away. For the love of God can we punch it in here.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

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

I've heard him say it at least 3 times

 

[fastlax16]

Going to get no points out of this.

 

[psu00]

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

They do. Problem is Franklin never does that. You’ll see the same mistakes and lack of discipline next week too.

 

[psualt]

Im way too old to get upset about these games but….

 

[jmorovich]

I always so shocked when Beau’s in and runs

 

[LandoComando]

Im way too old to get upset about these games but….

You're not lol

 

[YeOldeCup]

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

Wouldn't go that far. Ole Miss at home with the top passer in the country lost to 2-2 Kentucky.

 

[LionDeNittany]

Please just go back to power run game.

Thank you

 

[LandoComando]

Illinois should be using their timeouts here too

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Stop whining you bunch of little maryies, works to our advantage as it is running clock.

 

[Zone-Blitz]

Tom Allen gets a lot of criticism but Kotelnicki’s playcalling is terrible from the 30 yd line in. It just is.

 

[slykens]

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

Tomlin ball makes an appearance!

 

[ryoder1]

Illinois's weapon is our FG kicker. Singlehandedly keeping them in the game.

 

[BBHorn86]

Yet again--no discipline

Yep. The game would have been over no need for that push

 

[LandoComando]

Feeling good about my bet and the win

 

[LandoComando]

Stop whining you bunch of little maryies, works to our advantage as it is running clock.

You'd rather have the points there--Illinois wasn't scoring twice against us in 5 minutes

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

What a bunch of whiny ****-tards who know $hit about winning football games.

 

[bono47]

This is the dumbest PSU football team I have seen in 45 years.

 

[bdroc]

Trust the coach on the kicker selection guys.

Why would we do that?

 

[SLion]

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

While true, it is very much self-infliction that has to be corrected. The D has absolutely crushed IL in second yet due to dumb penalties and our shit kicker, it is close game.

 

[ryoder1]

Finally!

 

[LandoComando]

Nice to see Allen and Singleton both get in the endzone today--both played well
New kicker?!?!?!?!

 

[LionDeNittany]

Tom Allen gets a lot of criticism but Kotelnicki’s playcalling is terrible from the 30 yd line in. It just is.

Allen's defense gave up 7 points. The entire game.

Zero points since what... the first Illinois drive?

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

No dipshit we're still going to get the points. [Insert eyeroll]

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Here's the actual quote for those wondering from Franklin.

"You know, if you look
at the analytics and the statistics, they don't really have a significant impact when you talk about winning and losing."

 

[LandoComando]

Allen's defense gave up 7 points. The entire game.

Zero points since what... the first Illinois drive?

I think the complaint he meant about the defense was discipline--but maybe slow starts
There's no question his halftime adjustments have been elite all year.

 

[BudatPSU]

Now what stupid act can PSU produce I last 2 minutes that can create more drama?

 

[LandoComando]

No dipshit we're still going to get the points. [Insert eyeroll]

You can't guarantee those point dipshit--as we've seen all day

 

[NedFromYork]

Why Ryan Barker for the PAT and not the Columbia kid?

 

[LandoComando]

Sacks are starting to come too

 

[LandoComando]

Why Ryan Barker for the PAT and not the Columbia kid?

Good question but they could have pulled some kid sitting in the student section and i'd have been happy at this point

 

[GregInPitt]

Pressure works and works, so on 4th and 12 don't do it.

Yep

 

[SLion]

Warren, Nick, Tron, Durant and OL were beasts tonight. 4-0

 

[trotjx]

Teams are going to have to account for Durant and that should help Carter get home later in the year.

 

[bono47]

Block in the back? These refs made sure to shave the points. Ridiculous.

 

[LandoComando]

Barring a nightmare we should be at least 7th tomorrow--the final score won't be impressive but even if they didn't watch and look at the stats will see it was lopsided. I think we should be 6 unless Oregon loses then 5th but we're definitely in real good shape right now

Another sack
