I think he's given up on the running game because the offense can score 35 or 40 points regardless. He has to realize this is not the best long-term solution for the program, however.
I'm sure he does but there isn't any time right now to fix them. Need to get through the next two games and then the extra practices will hopefully help them.
“It is what it is.” I think this often while reading certain posters on this board during game day.
His way of owning the poor run game without throwing anyone under the bus.
Ask Matt Millen. He was rightfully outraged at “Chrome Dome’s” dismissive comment.
Matt appropriately put the onus on Franklin to “fix it”. Sadly, that isn’t yet in his “notebook”
Don’t know if you realize that auburn has 2 loses Clemson and LSU beat them so their not so great like you say
I’m not saying they’re great. I’m suggesting that their OL coach (Chef Herb) seems to be doing a more than a decent job.
I’m simply pointing out that the problem at PSU the last 3 years isn’t the players or the positional coach. It just might be the individual dictating the goofy-assed blocking scheme.
I’ll give you a hint: it’s not the Offensive Coordinator either. We’re now on OC #2 and nothing’s changed.
It’s Fraudklin.
He's not going to toss anyone under the bus to the media. Millen has a hook in his mouth, idiot. People still hating on Franklin are so cute.
Moorhead was brought in mostly to overhaul a dysfunctional offense with a poor OL. His system worked well and caught many teams by surprise last year, especially after McSorley became a factor running the ball.
Fast forward to this year's Indiana game and it was clear that Big 10 opponents were not going to let Barkley beat them and were willing to take their chances with the rest of the offense. Except for MSU that strategy has not worked. (Defense primarily lost the OSU game.)
Moorheads's RPO system is not designed to take advantage of an all-world running back. It was the system PSU needed for last year's team to be successful but it no longer caught teams by surprise.

You can’t bring up those losses, that’s ancient history!
Peetzy’s memory is only a week long, unless it’s something with which he can bash Franklin. Then it’s fair game.
You can't possibly be that stupid ....
You might as well put on your white robe.
I beg to differ. And that guy isn't even the stoopidist in this thread.
When are you finally going to “pop the top” on your remodel? I’m guessing ...”never”
Or watch their game against a good defense where they scored six points. Herb Hand was an embarrassment. Good riddance.
What Franklin has done with this program since he's been here has been nothing short of a miracle.
Big 10 Championship followed by a likely 10 plus win season. We currently have the #2 recruiting class in the country and people are bitching about interview quotes? Really?

And to extrapolate from it that he "disrespected the players and fans" no less. Classic.
A couple bumps in the road (1pt loss to OSU in the shoe and loss on last second fg to MSU) and racist phyrsty is back.
Bingo! Funny how some posters need to change handles. He still wants Franklin to fail. Last 2 years have been tough on the Clorox sheet king.
How many “monikers” are you going to post under today? So far, we have:
- ThePennsyOracle
- BoulderFish
- TwidleDeeReallyDumb

He has been on a roll lately. He was playing doctor for Moorhead earlier in the week. And he was so well-behaved for a time too. As far as that most serious accusation goes, I don't believe that is his motivation. He was certainly brutal to BOB and Butler too. His tirade after the fateful IU loss resulted in the loss of the ThyrstyPhyrsty handle. I don't think he'll ever recover from Joe no longer coaching though.
I can't speak for the other names here....but I don't post under any other names. Nice try though.
It's a bit of both, but he needs a Joe guy. Sadly that BS clouds what will be back to back top 10 finishes. It's a load of BS. Franklin has been great thus far.
By the way, PSU has won 13 consecutive home games. Good stuff.
I merely expect competence....and I don’t think that’s too much to ask from anyone.
Moorhead is semi-competent, as is his boss. Continually running Barkley on 1st down for little or no gain in order to pad SB’s rushing stats. Really?
Together, they are collaborating on some hair-brained scheme to “get Barkley the Hesiman” at the expense of playing sound, fundamental and team-unifying football.
The Heisman Trophy is more important to Franklin than it is to Barkley.
P.S. Moorhead’s blood pressure is “more than elevated”. Mine would be also ....

Where’s the “Oracle” or do you need to log-out and then log-in again to post under that name?
