Interesting PSU game plan thus far - give OSU short fields with turnovers.
Let's see how it works...

Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Penn State vs. Ohio State
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
It's not just Clifford. And I don't believe for a second that Allar's ready for this kind of defense.
Refs calling the play dead right as Penn State's about to make it 3rd and 5. Wow. James Franklin can' the happy about that one.
Nope--the D already saved them after the first turnover. You can give Ohio State a short field all day and survive.
That was definitely a TD
What does Clifford have on Franklin?
PREVIEW: Penn State Football welcomes No. 2 Ohio State to town
Here's everything you need to know about the Ohio State Buckeyes ahead of Saturday afternoon's game.pennstate.rivals.com

Ohio State 10 - Penn State 0
2:48 left in the first quarter.
Ohio State 10 - Penn State 0
2:48 left in the first quarter.
We have 29 yards on two drives
Listen, you just want to blame Clifford here. You've yet to acknowledge Lee screwed up the second pick
GFY? Really? How do you like his decision making so far? Could EASILY have run for that first down instead of forcing that pass? I'll wait for your reply...
We are finally running the ball well on 1st down and OC goes to passing short passes on 2nd and 3rd. Poor play calling.
3rd and 3. QB throws short of the sticks to someone that was blanketed. Ball gets intercepted. Keep making excuses for 14
Watching Penn State's offense on Saturdays then the Steelers on Sunday is just pure torture.
I wanted Allar to start week one. This isn't about defending Clifford. This is about a freshman back that made a mistake
I know it would be throwing Allar to the wolves. But it’s time to move on. Get Allar the experience for next year. I’ve always defend Clifford until the Michigan game. Let’s face it. He’s topped out…
10 first down run isn't meaningful. Allen has 14 yards on 3 carries--solid but not great
How do you blame Lee he was the last option and supposed to stop and be open and CF was rolling out. CF needs to throw it away or go forward lower your shoulder get what you can and punt (its 0-3) , there was no benefit to force it to Allen
We have run like 7 plays. I wouldn't consider it any sort of decision at this point.
Franklin seems alot of himself in Cliff..a player who should be QB at East Stroudsburg
Listen, we're at the point where the Clifford haters are just going to blame him for everything. I get it. He's not playing well enough to win this game but it hasn't all been on him so far. Allar isn't prepared for this game because Franklin hasn't used him properly.
Better outcome than trying to return it from the 3.
Fact is the kicker is placing it perfectly.
There's share responsibility on that--if people can't admit the mistake there they aren't being honest
Penn State's first three possessions:
Interception
Interception
Punt
Clifford is 5-for-9 to start for 24 yards and two interceptions.

Punt. Things are improving. Our best offensive series.
This is why you stay away from that 15.5 line though because as logical as it was that would could hang this was also a possibility--hopefully we get our shit together
