Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State vs. Michigan

[rrdd2021]

I think he got the 1st down

 

[Beaver-Stadium]

Fumbled backwards no way to overturn what is called on the field.

 

[j-buff]

What’s the difference like they can’t pick up a yard they are averaging like 40 per carry

 

[BBHorn86]

Blaming this game on officials is ludicrous. We are getting our ass beat on both sides of the ball.

Folks it is not just this game. Yes we are getting our butt kicked. But survey the rest of this league and you will find most recognize the fact that games are not evenly called in this league. The key calls all go against whoever might be threatening the two marquise teams.

 

[scrivener]

One step forward, two steps back for this defense all day.

I mean the D played 24 min in the first half...the inability to get 2 first downs in the half finished the D.

 

[LandoComando]

First guessing Michigan but I'd punt here

 

[Beaver-Stadium]

Just a Will play on that, not matching on a hat.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

And still, MY refuses to use our tight ends.

A reminder that Michigan top three linebackers have allowed 33 receptions on 36 targets this season.

 

[tlbakernc]

It’s time to move forward. Put Allar and let us see what we got next year. Experience would be huge for player like Allar.

You have stop buying into the nonsense. People believe that because of bias
We're lose games because we deserve to lose games.
This game has been evenly called as are most games.

 

[j-buff]

We are hard to watch

 

[psu00]

This is Franklin folks
we aren’t ever going to be elite under him

Unfortunately, you’re right. The team lacks basic fundamentals, (has for years under Franklin), and the coaching is just awful.

They had 2 weeks to prepare for Michigan. This team was not prepared in any way for this game. No new wrinkles or adjustments to catch Michigan off guard.

What’s Franklin’s record after bye weeks again?

 

[LMTLION]

We get a gift call and can’t take advantage.

 

[GregInPitt]

How many of the UM big runs have been right up the middle?

Too many.

 

[LandoComando]

Please stop with the Allar calls--please
Do you think that's best for Allar? To bring him in right now in this game?
After Ohio State then do it not now.

 

[TN Lion]

Penn State Football - same as it ever was.

 

[nitanee123]

Well I think my blood pressure is high enough. Enjoy the rest of the game guys. Time to spend time with the family.

Put Allar in behind this garbage, soft OL is only a confidence destroyer. How about replace all but Olu on the OL with a new group instead. The OL is where it all starts and ends.

Who are you rooting for troll? ( I think I know.)

Whatever you say chief!

 

[LandoComando]

I didn't think we'd win but I did think we'd be more competitive. We're a long way from where we need to be

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Also agreed.

I understand everyone’s desire to see Allar, but Clifford is not the problem today.

 

[j-buff]

Let’s face it look what Illinois did to us last year, teams no we can be handled cup front and it’s just that simple

 

[NCLION]

I knew this was gonna be a tough game but
this performance is a letdown

we didn’t show up
we have no answers
and now the league has a blueprint to beat us.

another painful three game stretch coming up.
sadly we probably have ten more years of this

 

[LandoComando]

Who are you rooting for? ( I think I know.)

Penn State--I have to be delusional or a conspiracy theorist to be a Penn State man
Michigan's the better team today
I want Allar to be successful so I don't want to do what Tomlin is doing to Pickett to him.

 

[psu00]

Again we don' stress wrapping up, too much shoulder throwing.

It would be nice to see some reporters actually pin Franklin on that and pressure him over it. It’s been a major problem for years.

 

[bdgan]

How many of the UM big runs have been right up the middle?

Too many.

But where are the LBs to stop big runs once the RB gets past the LOS?

 

[Cowbell Man]

To also be fair, if it wasn't for a ton of missed tackles today, half of those big plays don't happen. Think Diaz is probably doing as best as he could to a degree. Not a great game being called but still.

Missed. Or shoulder knocks on Corum by Eldson. Nearly depressing to see those attempted on an AA RB

 

[rrdd2021]

Michigan had far tougher games against Maryland and Indiana. This is sad

 

[Nittanyplayer#12]

Coaching and play calling is a joke, we should've been better.

You questioned Mich OL??? What is your opinion now, sport? I told you their OL would be a huge problem for us, but "you knew better."

 

[LandoComando]

I questioned Michigan's OL? When do you think I did that?

 

[Cowbell Man]

But where are the LBs to stop big runs once the RB gets past the LOS?

Getting crushed by a free OL since our DL doesn’t need double teaming.

 

[NCLION]

The quit has begun
sad that season over before Halloween again

 

[jmorovich]

Phillies are up 3-0 after a marsh blast.

 

[maypole]

Penn State--I have to be delusional or a conspiracy theorist to be a Penn State man

Gave yourself away.

 

[Beaver-Stadium]

This is 100% on Franklin for the way he tried to build this program. He has been here for 9 years they have NOT put together good Olines in back to back years. You could argue maybe just 1 of his 9 years they had a top 3 OLine in the big ten. If you can not block just stop right there, fixe that first then lets talk about explosive plays. Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, Oklahoma, and Georgia do not build their program on explosive plays. If you listen to Saban at practice it is all about the basics. JF, great guy just does not understand what it takes to win this conference. To stress my expectations are fair, 1 big 10 east titel every 4 years and he is no where close.

Telling...

Another 10 yrs? Find a new team.
