Football Indiana / Penn State Game Thread

[ryoder1]

These passes to the backs are useless. Indiana is begging us to throw down field. If we can't then unfortunately this game will end up being close.

 

[Marylovesthelions]

Me as well. I'm just afraid with the lack of separation that it will just keep allar tentative...

Meaga is a barn burner yet never used.

 

[tlbakernc]

Absolutely no separation.

It’s what pisses me off about the criticism. Not all this falls on Allar. He doesn’t get the WR play or blocking to be successful.

 

[KCLion]

IU must have scouted our O signals.

Spy the RB to the flat - no signal stealing necessary

 

[LandoComando]

Allar still stinks. Check down happy. Make a play dude.

I'm not sure what you want him to do. On the replay of third down none of our WRs did anything. He's not magic. He can't make his WRs decent.

 

[jbenedict]

Allar should of took off on that last play instead dumps again a pass for a loss.

 

[LMTLION]

Exactly. This is turning into 2004 offense.

I disagree. Our playcalling is so sophisticated that they had to have scouted these.

 

[Jerry]

Drew's so afraid of making a mistake...throwing the INT.

To be fair to him, we just don't seem to have playmakers in the WR corps.

 

[Little J]

Cephas didn’t seem to try to go to the ball

He was being bumped and impeded the whole way down the field. Penalty perhaps?

 

[lazydave841]

This offense is just ineffective.

People said throw screens; we can't block it.

People said throw to Singleton out of the back field; he can't make anybody miss.

People said throw to Cephas; he isn't open.

Play different OL; same result. Just how it is. Across the board.

 

[LandoComando]

There's a ton of issue. In addition to those two, our RBs are nearly as good as we thought

Did the defense quit? What the hell is happening?

 

[LMTLION]

Wtf!

 

[PennSt8er]

Ok. Seriously wtf.

 

[84Lion]

Apparently IU has scouted the defense pretty good too!

 

[PennSt8er]

This team has no pulse.

 

[ryoder1]

Wow, we are not ready at all. Strap it on boys this will be a dogfight.

 

[LandoComando]

Singleton finally makes a play then the kicker takes him down lol

 

[j-buff]

Typical Franklin team in the tank after big loss

 

[ryoder1]

How does he not take that to the house?

 

[NC2017]

Start at the top when identifying problems.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State really can't get out of their own way today.

 

[lionfamilyfive]

It's bad enough the offense is stagnant. Now we have embarrassing defense.

 

[lazydave841]

I see the problem. Manny has a hat on. No hair gel hairdo.

 

[bdgan]

3-13 check down three yards behind line of scrimmage.. Coaching or QB skills?

WR + Allar problem

 

[jbenedict]

Tom Allen has emotion. Our CEO's on the sideline are stone faced.

Everyone is playing run against us. Only Barry or saquan could get yards

 

[knickslions]

How is that working out?

Lol ya his 5 carries for 3 yards is what Lando wants

 

[PennState_one]

It's bad enough the offense is stagnant. Now we have embarrassing defense.

Lol the defense must just be making a point. Offense! Help us out for once!!

 

[KCLion]

He is just afraid to throw the ball

 

[b&w1987]

That’s some pretty crappy football so far. Can’t run, can’t throw deep. 8 men on the line so it’s a tough deal. How about a screen pass? It always works against us.

 

[PSUcup1]

Had 2 guys wide open. Doesn’t throw it.

Frustrating

 

[PSUcup1]

My god. Catch the damn ball

 

[LandoComando]

How the hell does KLS drop that? We better hit the portal hard next year

 

[IANit]

Tom Allen has emotion. Our CEO's on the sideline are stone faced.

Tom Allen is coaching for his job most likely. We're still pouting about Ohio State. We'll win this game, but it will be a slog for a while.

 

[b&w1987]

Catch the ball!!!!

 

[LandoComando]

Had 2 guys wide open. Doesn’t throw it.

Frustrating

He was running for his life on the reply they showed when KLS popped open late

 

[scrivener]

KLS should be benched just for the next drive...JF needs to send a message, rather than 1-0.

 

[LandoComando]

Might be time to watch Kansas-OU
It's bad enough playing weak teams. It's even worse playing horrible football against them

 

[bdgan]

2nd and 1 turns into 2nd and 11 on hold nowhere near the play. Followed by dropped pass and missed FG.
