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

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

We don’t seem to want it today

 

[fastlax16]

about to be a 10 point deficit again.

 

[SUPERTODD]

Just give them the 1st. We can’t stop them on 4th.

 

[PennState_one]

Hmmm... not exactly the defensive adjustments I was hoping to see.

 

[fastlax16]

Feels like the 2019 game

 

[LandoComando]

Wow--I hate the CB blitz call

 

[fastlax16]

come the F on

 

[LandoComando]

Should have been an 8 yard loss and 2 guys missed

 

[scrivener]

A DDS special on that end around

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Dani wow

 

[LandoComando]

Zane trying to save the day

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

ZANE DURANT

 

[fastlax16]

Need 7 on this drive.

 

[pointingdogsrule]

SLOPPY

 

[Onionbelly]

JF clapping that his team is far superior but only down by 6.

Nice job JF.

Say one thing, Tom Allen's defense is very inconsistent. Hate our zone pass coverage - spacing is horrendous and I've yet to see it work.... receivers always find open space because our spacing is just terrible

 

[LandoComando]

I swear to God we better not see any gimmicks on this drive--it's not the time to play around

 

[PennState_one]

Ok, they got the second-half jitters out. Now it's time to play ball. 😂

 

[NittanyLionRoar]

Oh Christ. I swear some people watch nothing but Penn State. Georgia struggled with Umass for a half today. So did OSU with Indiana. Voters don’t watch games. If Penn State wins, which is the only thing that matters, it is playoff worthy.

Well nothing appears to have changed in the second half so far. We’re playing from behind and the RT situation is not good on pass plays. It’s clearly not good on run plays either.

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

DDS thinks he’s going pro. Not with that effort.

 

[SR108]

Missed tackle, poor coverage, offsides bla, bla,bla.

 

[j-buff]

This defense has been inconsistent all year, that was a play DDS should have been able to make

 

[GregInPitt]

Umm, if a special teams coach of one of the top 10 programs in the country has to tell a punter that he needs to get the punt off quickly when punting out of his own endzone then he should be fired for recruiting and playing a punter that doesn’t already know that. That is pee wee football stuff, shouldn’t have to say anything

If you've coached or interacted with 18-22 year old athletes I believe you would not take any chances with communications and strategy. Special team coaches in the NFL cover all the bases as well.

It is real easy to be giving up- every facet has sucked. Someone had to stand up- maybe 28 was that player???

You can run slants all day long against Tom Allen.

Allar looks like last year. Jittery. No confidence. Tone set early with the non short conversions plus back up RT

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Warren show

14/18 159 with no run game--oh and two TDs

 

[m.knox]

Warren with a good block there. The kid does it all.

 

[Onionbelly]

1st touch with 9.5 mins left in 3rd qtr. Nice job JF.

 

[fastlax16]

Glad kaytron is fresh...

 

[LandoComando]

Why didn't Allen get a carry in the first half?

 

[Onionbelly]

Why didn't Allen get a carry in the first half?

Because JF is a poor coach.

 

[fastlax16]

Damn that was dicey

 

[87 Penn St8]

Heart or not?

Now is the time.

 

[SUPERTODD]

RUN IT AGAIN!

 

[fastlax16]

Had evans...

 

[PennState_one]

Franklin has said they want to keep them as fresh as they can. I'm sure that is playing a huge part. Not saying I agree 100% tho.

 

[CJFisJoePaII]

Another bad ball by Drew.
