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

[GregInPitt]

Looked like Carter had his hand on the LOS line on the 3rd down. The kind of dumb stuff that costs games....

 

[PurposePitch]

I think my broadcast is behind others. That 2nd down play was the trick play I thought was coming. Thank goodness it wasn't a good one.

 

[LandoComando]

I can't believe they're kicking this but we'll see if that pays off

 

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Wow fg?

 

[m.knox]

LOL at Danielson taking about a FG--this is 4 down territory
If they need it

LOL at Loado..................

 

[PurposePitch]

I'm not sure I trust Kotelnicki here to not turtle up and give the ball right back to Minny. Prove me wrong, AK. Mount a drive to put this one to bed.

 

[PSUcup1]

Wasn’t the OT covered by the TE anyway on the 2nd down call?

 

[LandoComando]

Would be a nice time for a 6 minute drive

 

[PennState_one]

Time to put them away.

 

[GregInPitt]

This D is on vacation.

I believe they are getting tired. Minny has already had the ball for 34+ minutes to PSU's 20.

And has Carter gotten the rest he needs to be fresh on the last Minny drive this game.....

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State needs to be aggressive on this upcoming drive. Need to play for six, can't settle for a FG.

 

[LandoComando]

Wasn’t the OT covered by the TE anyway on the 2nd down call?

No--he was on the end of the line

The timing of this game is not on our side. If we don’t get a big score, Minnesota should have plenty of time to run the clock and kick a field goal with their amazing kicker.

 

[fastlax16]

Hope we can string together a long drive that either eats the clock or ends in 7. This just feels like a lose on a fg as time expires kinda night.

 

[YeOldeCup]

11 .5 pt favorite, up by 1 with under 6 min to play.

This is why we continually fail the eye test.

Yeah, unfortunately, there's some pretty negative stuff for opponents to use in the film room.

True--but I'm going for that and forcing us to go 90 yards

 

[Safety Blitz]

Bucknuts ran the clock out on PSU in a similar situation. That’s what good teams do.
We’ll see what happens.

 

[LandoComando]

11 .5 pt favorite, up by 1 with under 6 min to play.

This is why we continually fail the eye test.

Then why were we ranked 4th if we're failing the eye test?

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Does even Minny have WR's that get open more so than PSU's?

Daniel Jackson is better than anyone they have yes. Elijah Spencer would also start at Penn State.

 

[fastlax16]

turtle

 

[PennState_one]

11 .5 pt favorite, up by 1 with under 6 min to play.

Just need the win here. I'm not sure this will affect our ranking. Key phrase though... 'Need the win.'

 

[GregInPitt]

2nd and pretty short and we run East and West......

 

[LandoComando]

Went conservative--dumb, dumb, dumb

 

[fastlax16]

jesus christ

 

[PurposePitch]

Brilliant! Try to run Allen outside! Because that's ever worked!

 

[frnkwms1212]

nice

 

[LandoComando]

Franklin played to lose--hope we do if that's how he's going to do this

 

[fastlax16]

ehrmahgerd

 

[slykens]

I was going to ask why we are snapping the ball with 10 seconds left. Then I was going to bitch about wasting that drive.

Now I’ll keep quiet for a few minutes.

 

[PSUcup1]

Wow

 

[LandoComando]

I have no....just no...

 

[SUPERTODD]

Their MLB knew the play. We are tipping something.

 

[fastlax16]

Franklin played to lose--hope we do if that's how he's going to do this

Franklin said watch this.

 

[Dylan Callaghan-Croley]

Penn State just called a fake punt?! In that moment?! WHAT!

 

[AvgUser]

Jesus Christ this O is annoying

[LandoComando]

Franklin said watch this.

That made the playcalling even worse lol

 

[SUPERTODD]

Wow!!!!!!

 

[PurposePitch]

Christ, I'm going to have a heart attack.
