Football James Franklin's gusty decisions help seal 26-25 victory for Penn State

[LMTLION]

F’n pathetic

 

[PennState_one]

Lol, this team makes me lose my hair.

"Want to thank everyone for coming out and covering Penn State football. Those were two of the better teams in the league today."

And, after he says that usual stuff, the fan boys melt over this grifter.

 

[PurposePitch]

I'm a big Allar fan, but he may be the turd monster so far this game.

 

[fastlax16]

At least we have time to respond now.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Punter not only moved toward outside rush, but took 2 full steps into it. Horrible.

 

[LandoComando]

Now go out and run a 2 minute offense so we can get some rhythm

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Pathetic effort by Dani

 

[BBHorn86]

Kiss the playoffs good bye!

 

[scrivener]

The offense is all of of sorts because AK refuses to line up and actually play football

Because JF wants showy and looking fun rather than being a hard nosed coach. He doesn't realize or isn't capable of understanding how to build a championship style offense. We don't have an identity.

 

[PennState_one]

Now go out and run a 2 minute offense so we can get some rhythm

They seem to do better going no huddle.

The punter made such a bad play it looks like he did it on purpose.

 

[mrshane31]

The punter couldn't have made a worse play possible. Only way guy blocks punt is to take 10 mins and punt it right at him.

also terrible block by 85

 

[SUPERTODD]

I hate Franklin so much. I know. We are lucky to have him. Who are we going to get who is better? He recruits… Take the money he is making, hire a younger coach, and hammer NIL. It’s the only way we are ever going to get to a place where we can compete for the playoffs consistently.

 

[b&w1987]

Kiss the playoffs good bye!

If we can’t beat Minni we won’t beat a playoff team and we don’t deserve to go.

 

[LandoComando]

Rucci is getting destroyed

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

That Minnesota TD is exactly the reason I keep harping about discipline and preparation. Back in the day Penn State teams were always highly regarded for their discipline. We often did not have the athletes, especially in the defensive secondary, but they knew where they were supposed to be. Now we have the opposite problem. Just can't put it together.

 

[RickinDayton]

Punter not only moved toward outside rush, but took 2 full steps into it. Horrible.

The Specil Teams coach needs to go. And I mean after this game. That is poor coaching that your punter would even take steps toward the oncoming rush.

 

[PurposePitch]

I wonder if @CJFisJoePaII is going to flip out about that bad call.

But I'll take it.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Finally, a great pass from Drew.

 

[scrivener]

That was not a PI at all...we'll take it

 

[LandoComando]

Wow that throw to Warren was ridiculous

 

[fastlax16]

lucky

 

[LMTLION]

We got a call for a change.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

I wonder if @CJFisJoePaII is going to flip out about that bad call.

But I'll take it.

Bad call - definitely not catchable.

 

[LandoComando]

We got a call for a change.

We get a ton--calm down lol

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Terrible call against Minnesota. Now we are going to have to put an asterisk next to a close win.

 

[GregInPitt]

The punter couldn't have made a worse play possible. Only way guy blocks punt is to take 10 mins and punt it right at him.

But that's also on the special team's coach. He has to tell the punter that in his own end he HAS to get the punt off as fast as possible and let the coverage guys do their job.

 

[LandoComando]

Why didn't we call an immediate time out there?

 

[PurposePitch]

Wil we run it right up the middle?

 

[mrshane31]

they better punch this in

 

[fastlax16]

yea drew. another psu qb crushing a minnesota defender.

 

[b&w1987]

Thanks ref. A gift !!!

 

[GSPMax]

Bad call - definitely not catchable.

And, not reviewable.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

We got a call for a change.

Exactly.

 

[bono47]

Terrible call against Minnesota. Now we are going to have to put an asterisk next to a close win.

I hope this is sarcastic after the OSU game.

 

[PurposePitch]

But that's also on the special team's coach. He has to tell the punter that in his own end he HAS to get the punt off as fast as possible and let the coverage guys do their job.

And you really think he DIDN'T tell him that?!

 

[LandoComando]

Notice how much better the offense is when we don't sub in Beau and we let Drew read the field?
He even ran it well

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

That was a big series given that Minny gets ball coming out of half.

 

[LandoComando]

Allar's "awful" first half was 14/18 159 with 2 TD (one rushing)--at least one drop
Yes, he can't take a couple of those sacks but he's not the problem
