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

[mcpat]

One yard wins it.

A FG doesn’t.

Go for it.

 

[frnkwms1212]

Risky but YES!

 

[Phil's Rug]

1st down PSU!!!

 

[Onionbelly]

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LandoComando]

That was....something

 

[Marylovesthelions]

We had them all the way.

 

[mcpat]

Ball game

 

[GregInPitt]

Wish Warren would have scored to make someone without a clue think this was an easier win.....

 

[PurposePitch]

Boom. Knew it all along.

That was easy.

 

[Onionbelly]

Smart to sit down!

BALL GAME

No.4 Penn State survives an upset scare from the Minnesota Golden Gophers and will walk out of Huntington Bank Stadium with a 26-25 victory.

What a ball game. Both these teams fought like hell in this game.

I'm on my 3rd drink.

Minnesota outplayed us in the first half.

If we don't get our shit together in the 2nd half, we're looking at the Outback Bowl...and honestly, that's what we'll deserve.

I'm mystified at the play-calling. If not for one bogus DPI, we'd be in more trouble than we already are.

But everything's still on the table. Win it close. Win it ugly. Just win it.

I think we will...

This aged well.

Getting tired of all the panicking and ranting and doom-saying on every play that goes wrong.

God knows, there's enough to criticize.

But get a grip. We're 10-1. It's been a great year. Home playoff game coming. Take the win and be happy.

21/28 244 2 TDs no turnovers--in case anyone's confused

Hope the plane can land in state college with the weight of those balls.

 

[LandoComando]

Playoff birth clinched--a win next week guarantees the 6th/7th seed

 

[psualt]

Franklin hung his nuts out on that drive. Wow.

 

[LandoComando]

"Kept his composure all game" James Franklin on Allar
I mean, no--he didn't and I'm his biggest defender lol

 

[PennState_one]

Everyone's up in arms for no reason. PSU had this in the bag all along. A classy way to win the game.

 

[Onionbelly]

I usually don’t post during games or over react. But if someone put a gun to my head and said, “who is going to win this game? If you are wrong, I pull the trigger!”

I’m answering Minnesota.

Ooooops....glad that was just a hypothetical....or otherwise you would be dead.

 

[DELion]

Fake punt was the play of the game. Game should not have been this close but give credit to Minny - they have a good passing attack and really shut down our running game.

 

[AWS1022]

We have some of the worst fans ever. Just pathetic posts throughout the game. The ones who are loudest about deserving a winner are the ones who least deserve it. Please find another hobby.

People do worry too much but, sadly, we never really ended them

 

[Pale ryder]

didnt I tell you boys we were gonna win this one??

 

[LMTLION]

Well, I’ll take! Franklin keeps winning games he would lose in the past. Next needs ti get over osu hump next year.

 

[AWS1022]

Ooooops....glad that was just a hypothetical....or otherwise you would be dead.

Maybe he should have backed up his stupid ass post.

 

[knickslions]

No sweat. 32 in a row as td or greater favorite

 

[LandoComando]

The Big XII might not get any teams in

Seriously. This team is hard to watch too often. WVERY team we play has good WR play. Even so so teams. Why??? It should not be painful to win like this.

What? Good passing attack? MN ranks like 68th in the nation in passing.

We have some pathetic fans for sure.

Warren had a quiet 100 yard game

We’re 10-1…how many teams that we’ve played have that record? If they’re so hard to watch, don’t do it. And college football has a lot more parity these days, so yes, winning shouldn’t be easy.

Franklin should have run across the field directly to the Minny starting WR's and made them offers for next season......

 

[mcpat]

10-1

It wasn’t pretty, but I’ll take it.

 

[LandoComando]

10-1

It wasn’t pretty, but I’ll take it.

We've literally beat everyone we were supposed to and lost to the one team that's better than us--I'd take that any year (though hopefully we're not supposed to lose to anyone eventually lol)

 

[shelley]

Two screwjob spots in a row there by big cheaters - #6 had the 1st Down where caught it before being pushed backwards - then they marked 44 for a loss when the ball hit at 35.

Gutsy win & credit to Franklin for being a ballsy son of a gun
